El Pulpo Loco - 97320 Progreso

Nice beachfront restaurant. Food a bit bland.

Don't go here - they rip you off and the food is terrible. Took 50 min took prepare too..

We got really good, huge drinks for 70 pesos, free reclining beach chairs, excellent pasta and salads all day long. Highly recommended compared to the places on either side!

I won't go into the gory details, but needless to say, I may not be able to leave the house tomorrow. Feel free to read into that any way you want, I think I'm being generous.

Food was okay and very nice view, but waiter charged more than he said before and didn’t show any bill and when asked pretended that I had heard him wrong before

Terrible food, service ok. We ordered white wine with lemon fish and tacos. Fish was bland served with cold vegatables and side of colder rice. Margarita was great. Come for a drink, be forewarned about the food. Should have went with the past reviews on this one. Other seafood restaurants next door had average 4.5 rating for a reason.

My wife and I found this place quite by accident. We weren't planning on eating at a beach table but we were delighted to have found this place. No on on the cruise ship told us that there was a beach here in Progresso so we were super happy to have accidentally found this place. The waiter (Manuel) was super friendly the ceviche we had was yummy and it's a generous portion. The tortilla chips were also very yummy. They had Coronas, which are hard to find in this part of Mexico, so that was an added plus. Their wine list is limited but this isn't a big fancy restaurant. You should know that there are lots of vendors but they are all friendly and not pushy in the least bit. Also, the fake Cuban cigars that they sell on the beach are half the price of the fake Cuban cigars that they sell at the port shops. The beach it sell has nice sand, not as nice as the sugar sand in the Florida panhandle but much better than than coral in Cancun. Now that I know this beach is here it will be our destination and we'll plan on bring our bathing suits when we come back here on our next cruise.

Just ate there and had the 3 fish tacos dish for 75 pesos but they were quite bland and soggy. My husband had the fish with wine and lemon, tasted bland, the accompanying rice and veggies were cold. Margaritas were huge and strong!! The atmosphere was lively and colourful and the staff were friendly AND the menu was in English also!!
