Overview & Highlights

Nestled in the heart of Barrio Bravo in Chetumal, marisqueria Limoncitos is a seafood lover’s haven that brings authentic coastal flavors to the city’s 77098 zip code. This unpretentious seafood restaurant serves up some of the most memorable fried fish and ceviche experiences you’ll find in the area. Patrons repeatedly praise their expertly fried whole fish, which boasts a crispy, golden crust enveloping tender, flaky flesh bursting with the fresh essence of the sea. The ceviche, vibrant and tangy, dances on the palate with the perfect balance of citrus and spice, making it a must-order for anyone craving true Mexican seafood cuisine.

What sets marisqueria Limoncitos apart is its genuine, homey atmosphere that transports diners to a rustic, waterfront setting despite being nestled amid a residential neighborhood. The tin roof and simple setup create a raw, rural charm that allows the food to take center stage. Customers note that the service is polite and attentive, adding to the welcoming, authentic feel of the restaurant. There’s an engaging ritual to dining here as well—when ordering fish, you select your catch straight from the kitchen, ensuring you get the freshest, largest fish available at a reasonable price.

However, while the flavors and hospitality shine brightly, some patrons have observed that the bathroom facilities could use more attention in cleanliness and upkeep, a reflection that the owners might want to address to enhance the overall dining experience. Additionally, expanding the beverage selection beyond just 2X and Tecate Light Mexican beers could further elevate the enjoyment for guests seeking variety.

For those who appreciate honest, flavorful seafood in a setting that feels like a local secret, marisqueria Limoncitos is a destination worth discovering. Whether you’re savoring juicy, jumbo shrimp or the expertly crafted dishes like their standout fried fish, each bite speaks to the passion and tradition behind this charming Chetumal eatery. It’s an opportunity to enjoy genuine Mexican coastal flavors in a place that feels like a cherished neighborhood gem.

Visitor Testimonials (772)

The seafood is fingerlicking delicious! They have, so far, the best Fried whole fish and ceviche. Their weakness, I would say, lies in their sanitation practices. The bathroom needs more attention, cleaning and necessary toiletries. It would also be great if they could incorporate other Mexican Beers instead of only 2X and Tecate Light.

Amazing fried fish, amazing ceviche, great homey vibe. Just a real local and authentic feel to it

Awesome ceviche, chico is large, service was polite

Located in the middle of residential area and alone, the restaurant is sheltered by tin roof. The atmosphere is rural in the middle of the city. The ceviche is excellent. To order fish, you must go the the kitchen to choose the fish. The price depends on the size and pick the freshest one. The service is good and the price is reasonable. I had the best dinner.

Awesome fried fish and ceviche with the jumbo-est shrimps I've seen lol. Delicious sea food.
