dear Cancun diner:Hello and Welcome to Cancun, where the beautiful white beaches and gorgeous turquoise waters make for one of the prettiest places on Earth!

Please allow us to share something with you. We love good food! When we go on vacation we want to know Where are the best places to eat?. This is what inspired Cancun Menus and remains our goal to bring you the answers.

Weve had the pleasure of living in Cancun for many years and know which establishments consistently serve good food. We first began more than two decades ago, by conducting an annual

Survey of Best Restaurants. The scene has changed from time to time, some have changed names or cuisines, new places have been introduced, but our goal remains the same - to give you, the tourist, all the information needed to fi nd your perfect dining experience.

We love hearing from you & appreciate all the feedback weve received over the years. If you have any suggestions, recommendations or even complaints, please let us know. We sincerely hope your visit to Cancun will be a wonderful, delicious experience!

buen provecho!terry & susandos gringos

friendly advice to our readersTHE FACTS: There are over 400 res-taurants in Cancun. This means there is mucho competition. Many, many people are paid to convince or persuade you, the tourist, to go to certain restau-rants. You might hear things like:

That restaurant is no good,but I know one

That restaurant is closed, butor your driver may say,

Ive never heard of that restaurant!

THE TRUTH: The restaurants we feature in Cancun Menus are the favorites of many of us who live here. Should you have questions or concerns about any Cancun restaurants call us, well be glad to hear from you. If you visit a restaurant not in our magazine but deserves our consideration, let us know that too!

PRICES: GOD only knows what the exchange rate will be by the time youre reading this! All prices listed are in pesos, except where indicated. As we go to press, June 2012, the exchange rate is about $13.50 pesos to the dollar. Since many restaurants import their products, they adjust prices accordingly. Shouldexchange rates change considerably, you can expect the menu prices to change also. Peso prices may go up when the exchange rate is higher, but the cost in dollars remains the same.

ANOTHER PIECE OF ADVICE: In Mexico it is considered rude to bring the check before you ask. So when you are ready for it, just tell your waiter, La cuenta por favor.

por faVor! please MentionCanCun Menus or dos gringos when you make your reservations or visit these restaurants or fi ll out your comment card. Itll help us to continue providing this service. Muchas gracias.
