Mero 18: Flavors of the Caribbean in the Heart of Cancún
A sea bar between the city and the jungle
Mero 18 is a seafood restaurant, signature sushi, and wine located at Calle Mero 18, Supermanzana 3, within Mezcal Boutique Hotel and just steps from the iconic Avenida Nader, in downtown Cancún, Quintana Roo. Its concept combines fresh Caribbean products, contemporary techniques, and Mexican flavors in a space open to the public, so it is not necessary to stay at the hotel to enjoy its culinary proposal.
A proposal that changes throughout the day
The restaurant welcomes visitors from 7:00 AM and continues service until 11:00 PM, allowing guests to discover different facets of the place. During breakfast, options such as red or green chilaquiles, motuleños eggs, French toast, and cold-pressed juices appear. As the day progresses, the cold bar takes center stage with freshly shucked oysters, ceviches, aguachiles, tiraditos, and tostadas. At night, signature sushi, cocktails, and Mexican wines come together in a setting of dim lighting, greenery, and music.
