Pelicanos, nestled in the picturesque town of Puerto Morelos, is a seafood haven that captures the essence of coastal dining. With its prime location on the beach at Rafael E. Melgar Manzana 2, this charming restaurant combines delightful dishes with stunning ocean views, making it a must-visit for both locals and tourists alike.
Customers rave about the breakfast options, highlighting quality and generous portions. Chanda “CJ” Brown, who spent three months savoring Pelicanos’ menu, describes every meal as remarkable. Jerry Call, meanwhile, emphasizes the inviting atmosphere, complemented by fresh fish and expertly crafted margaritas that elevate the dining experience.
The ambiance, supported by an inviting patio with an unobstructed view of the sea, creates a relaxing environment. Even when the beach brings its own soundtrack, as noted by Alejandro Martinez, Pelicanos maintains a cozy charm. Blake reinforces this sentiment, praising the overall quality of the food and the picturesque setting. Whether you’re grabbing a casual bite or enjoying a special moment, Pelicanos is a culinary gem that truly embodies the joys of dining in paradise.

Ate most of my meals here while spending 3 months in beautiful Puerto Morelos. The breakfast is the best but you can’t go wrong with any of the meals you get. Decent portions, good service and a beautiful view!

Visited while staying at Dreams Sapphire. It's a short 20 minute walk down the beach to this beautiful small town of Puerto Morales. The food was delicious and atmosphere was very inviting, we had fresh fish and margaritas, the views from the dining room are draw dropping. Would highly recommend.

We didn't eat there so cannot comment on the food, but if you're looking for a margarita, you have to go here. My wife tried several margaritas at different restaurants...this was the best. Also, you sit on the patio and have a great sea-view.

Excellent food. Atmosphere problem is that people on the beach plays their music so you have 4 different songs at the same time, mixed with the music of the restaurant. En general good experience, amazing service.

Food is really good. They are located in the main part of the town, directly on the beach. You can have a nice view of the water and palm trees!

Great place! The outdoor tables are right on the beach so the atmosphere is perfect and the servers are just so friendly and lovely. Ordered the Mexican style octopus, ceviche and the seafood tower and they were all delicious

Read a recommendation in a travel guide for Pelicans so checked it out on the way to Cancun airport. Beautiful spot right on the playa in Puerto Morelos. Excellent food, great service. The ceviche is really good!
