We had an excellent Valentine’s Day dinner here! We didn’t have a reservation, but were able to grab a drink at the bar for a bit. Eventually a table opened up in their beautiful courtyard. It was fun to watch the bustling kitchen though, and there was some serious cooking going on. We ordered the octopus and sea food casserole, which were delicious. The casserole was something between paella and a bouillabaisse, more about the seafood than the rice (though the rice soaked all the flavors). Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

We were greeted and seated by a very lovely and friendly staff member. We didn't have a reservation, but we were early enough that we were able to be seated. This was a Wednesday night and there were only 4 tables available. So I recommend making a reservation.
The food was fabulous and fresh. They start you off with a small cup of scrumptious vegetable broth.
This was a birthday dinner and I was surprised with a dessert and candle. It was a nice touch to a perfect evening.
We hope to return for our farewell dinner.

Seared Tuna
My wife and I came here along with our close friend and had a wonderful experience at this fine dining establishment. The atmosphere is intimate and refreshingly quaint, perfect for both romantic dinners and friendly get-togethers. Every dish on the menu is a culinary experiment fusing traditions from multiple different cuisines to create a unique experience, thus begging you to return to try something you missed the first time. Which is exactly what my party ended up doing the next day. Whether you are a gourmand or just a foodie on the hunt for your next fix, Tanino’s will most certainly scratch that itch.

This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. The staff is absolutely amazing and completely on point and the food the kitchen produces is exquisite. Camilla is one of our favorite servers but they are all amazing! Last time we went through Porto Morales We only had two days because of travel schedule We ate here both nights. I have celiac and they are very very accommodating with gluten-free diets.

Headline: Incredible atmosphere, staff, kitchen, drinks, food ... conclusion: a must.
As it was my birthday, my sister and I wanted to find somewhere special.
After our original plan had fallen through, we stumble upon Tanino's...a birthday wish I hadn't yet made came true.
The back of the restaurant opens on to a beautiful garden terrace which lends itself to a tranquil atmosphere and perfect setting for the culinary experience that awaits.
The food was simply outstanding. While it would be easy to deep dive into each one ... the tuna was simple sensational. The quality of the fish married with the mezcal and orange marinade (we were given extra 😋)...Michelin star quality dish.
Our server Jonathan was attentive as well as allowing us to practice some Spanish. He also suggested we could take our bottle of wine home as we headed towards desserts and coffee territory...a Tanino policy that I've rarely experienced but was greatly appreciated.
Yet the really quality of service was the evident team ethic as staff were able to interchange without confusion.
It was clear from the start the staff were properly trained without them losing their individuality...something confirmed later by the charismatic and engaging Brazilian manager.
The added treat of a birthday crepe and a long and engaging chat about the restaurant, staff, as well as an insight into their ethos, was unexpected as it was welcome.
Only regret? We didn't have the chance to return before the end of our vacation but I'm positive it won't be the last time if we're anywhere near Puerto Morelos.

So pleasantly surprised by this small place. I opted for the fish of the day, which was Seabass. It was local, so I had to go in. The chefs had the balls to serve it with nothing more than salt and pepper. What a treat. The fish sang. The risotto set it off perfectly. I will come back if possible. My best experience so far in Cancun.
