Very delicious food, nicely located and spacious surroundings. I’ve been here for some lunch and it was definitely worth it! You can enjoy the sun next to the lagoon while sipping your drinks. Their wifi is occasionally really good, so even video calls have been possible without any issues. As for the food, it looked freshly prepared, was great in taste and to my opinion had a very unique taste that I really enjoyed. The drinks have been good as well and everything was served in a timely manner. The only disadvantage was that the staff mostly was far away and the music was a bit too loud.

A fantastic service, we really have a wonderful time, the people were very nice, the drinks the suggestion and the music, plus is exactly in front of the Laguna. we would certainly return, the place left us very good memories.

Good quality food, big portions! Great view on the lagoon, as others mentioned service started a bit slow initially but they picked it up thereafter. Lovely toradito tuna!

Quick and friendly service during my experience at about 1:30pm on a Saturday. Perfect place to go swimming off their jetty, with the added bonus of swings and hammocks. The views were 10/10. I had the chilli and lime shrimp with salad, it was fresh and generous. Sure the prices are a little higher than other places, however they are reasonable considering the quality of the food and the view.

This is the place where most people take the pictures overlooking the lake of 7 colors on the swing. You can walk out onto pier after eating your meal. The food is fresh and delicious.

Great location right on the water, delicious food and fun ambience! We’ve eaten at CATCH a few times while traveling and really love their Baja style fish tacos. The outdoor/open air seating is great with a gorgeous view and they always have fun music playing. Definitely a great spot to enjoy the magic of Bacalar!

Great and comfy place with a great view, good food and drinks, reasonable prices and a very attentive service. Location is great, downtown right in front of the fort. Visited for lunch but would have loved to stay for dinner, it also looks like a fun olace for drinks and fun at night!
