For a small town, Puerto Morelos has a surprising number of restaurants. There are about two dozen eateries close to the square and along the beach with a wide range of prices and cuisine. A tasty example is Pelicanos. They specialize in fresh Mexican seafood such as pawns, lobster tail and octopus. After a delicious meal, do not be annoyed if the server seems slow in delivering your bill. A local custom suggests it is rude to deliver the check until you ask for it. Restaurateurs do not want to rush your leisurely enjoyment.
