Punta Corcho takes its name from the old title of what we now know as Puerto Morelos, in the Riviera Maya. Founded in 2015 by chef Daniel Ovadía, it became his first project in the region, bringing a passion for fresh and creative cuisine that pays homage to the culinary richness of the Caribbean.
The menu offers a vibrant reinterpretation of seafood flavors, highlighted by the use of artisanal methods that add a unique smoky touch to each dish. The chefs have created a perfect balance between tradition and innovation, transforming local and sustainable ingredients into unique sensory experiences. Each creation at Punta Corcho is a tribute to both Caribbean classics and culinary avant-garde, making the restaurant a regional benchmark now recognized internationally with a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand.
Inside Punta Corcho, "Fisherman’s" offers innovative cocktails with fermentation, maceration, and marine infusion techniques, elevating the dining experience.

    Great food and service. There’s also a very cool speakeasy behind the kitchen with 70s vibe.

    Wonderful spot! Great, innovative food - Mexican fusion. Beautiful setting close to the shore beside the central plaza. Attentive and friendly service. A little bit pricey, especially the drinks.

    We had a spectacular experience. We have been to Puerto Morelos twice before to dine at another restaurant (Mar Bella which is also excellent) and when we told the concierge at our hotel, he suggested we try Punta Corcho as it has been included in the Michellin guide for Quintana Roo. We looked at the menu and the Instagram account and were sold on the pictures and the thought of roasted bone marrow tacos with shrimp. The pizza also looked amazing and since we were traveling with kids, between the prospect of good pizza and a great mixologist, we knew we needed to make a reservation. The restaurant is on the second floor of a building that has tourist trinkets on the first floor. The entrance is hidden behind soccer jerseys and ponchos but once you are upstairs you have a lovely view of the plaza and the water. It was a quiet day in the plaza and the view of the water was quite nice. We ordered pizza and pasta for the kids and the four adults ordered the tasting menu. It is an 9-10 course tasting menu and was probably one of the best meals we have had in Mexico inclidnig tasting menus we have had in Riviera Maya and Mexico City. Each of the dishes was so carefully put together and included the flavors of Mexico that was so elevated and unexpected. The service was spot on. Very attentive but discrete. And in all fairness, we were surprised by this. The restaurant, located on the second floor above a tourist shop overlooking the plaza would have been something that would have sold Bahama Mamas and Sex on the Beach in Cancún but instead served a world-class meal. We will definitely be back.
