Al Chimichurri

Top choice in Puerto Morelos


You definitely can't go wrong with the fresh pasta and wood-fired pizza here, but this Uruguayan grill is best known for its steaks. The star cuts are a Flintstones-size rib eye, tender flank steak and filet mignon in homemade beef gravy. It's just south of the plaza.
