I ate here several times and enjoyed all the meals. One night I came by to have a cocktail and was a little too warm to eat yet. However, I watched as the waitress brought out some steaks for a table next to me. I haven't had the best experiences with beef down here. I decided to order a New... More

We went to El Pirata on our last night in Mexico. It's a pretty small place with less than 10 tables I would say. Nice and cozy atmosphere, where the chef grills the food on a grill just as you walk in. I had the T-bone special, which was a steak, baked potatoe and a glass of wine for about... More

Mt wife and I had lunch here over our Mexico visit and really loved the place. Great tacos and cold beer! Service was excellent and the salsa, along with other dips, were incredible with the nacho chips. Alot of places to choose from in Puerto Morales, choose this one!!

Last night friends and my husband and I dined at this newly built/re-located restaurant. The menu selections were many, and wine choices were very nice. The live music was charming, with a soft Spanish guitar and singing to accompany our meal. The roast chicken I had was nicely prepared and moist, served on a wood board with a side of... More

We had a delicious meal at El Piratta last year and decided to give it another try this year. We stopped in for a wonderful breakfast. Our waiter was the same as last year. He's hilarious and an asset to the restaurant. We passed by the restaurant multiple times at dinner and were amazed at how many people were always... More

We selected this enlarged & relocated restaurant, now on the boulevard a block from the town square) last week with a friend and could not resist the items sizzling on the open grill. I ordered the grilled chicken, which was served with french fries and salad on a wood platter...more than enough for one and a take-home container. The chicken... More

We took our extended family to El Pirata on March 12, 2013, a group of 12, including teenagers and an infant. We could not have had a better time! The food and service was awesome, with dinners ranging from fajitas to grilled steaks, everyone was satisfied. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone travelling to Puerto Morelos, particularly a large... More

Our 4th time to Puerto Morelos. Really good quality and tasting food. Went twice for dinners and the place was packed with people waiting. A good sign for sure. Our dinners were: Filet mignon ($18) New york ($17) chicken fajitas and arrachera (steak). Not one issue with anything and the service was outstanding. End of one meal, I had taken... More

Stopped for dinner one night, special was steak, potato, salad and a glass of wine for 185 pesos. Steak is cooked over a wood fire and excellent. Wine was so so, but the rest of the meal was great. They also do a pretty nice looking grilled chicken that I would like to try. Nice atmosphere, good service and always... More
