Though travelers may have some preconceived notions about Mexican food, a quick visit to some of the finest restaurants in the Riviera Maya will set any misconceptions straight. Travelers who have booked villas in Mexico can sample some of the finest food in the region by reserving a table at the local favorite known as El Capi Navegante.

Located just a few blocks from San Miguel's oceanfront, Capi is a popular seafood restaurant that specializes in a uniquely tangy form of ceviche, a seafood dish comprised of raw fish marinated in lemon- or limejuice. Of particular interest to guests may be the eatery's famous huachinango, a spicy red snapper meal prepared in an adobo and achiote sauce that has been favorably reviewed on a number of travel sites.

Of course guests who enjoy great seafood can also prepare some fresh and delicious meals in their luxury rentals, many of which come with gourmet kitchens and grocery service. Conversely, many of these high-end accommodations offer guests private access to docks and beaches where they may be able to catch some seafood of their own.
