Our mistake was in two of our party of four ordering the grilled octopus, which we had been enjoying at other locations. The tentacles were diced into small pieces which allowed the garlic seasoning to saturate and totally overpower the entree. I'm a big fan of spices; this was overwhelming. The other entrees were good, grilled shrimp and conch fillet. We saw some great looking fish entrees being served, and the menu has nice variety. We will try the restaurant again next year, and I'm confident the rating will be better than this year. If you have an interest in octopus, look for some other Cancun reviews with octopus in the title.
