Fajardo

About the restaurant

CENOTE was born from a desire to reimagine Mexican cuisine through a modern, elevated lens. Inspired by the natural beauty and mystique of Mexico’s cenotes—hidden pools carved by time and nature—we set out to create a dining experience that blends culture, innovation, and artistry.

Our story begins with flavor. At CENOTE, we fuse traditional Mexican ingredients with global influences, transforming familiar dishes into vibrant, contemporary creations. Each plate is crafted with intention, celebrating freshness, creativity, and the spirit of exploration.

Our space is designed to immerse you the moment you walk in—deep tones, glowing accents, and organic textures that mirror the serenity and wonder of the cenotes themselves. Every detail invites connection, curiosity, and inspiration.

Our cocktail program elevates the experience even further, infusing tequila, mezcal, and handcrafted elements into signature drinks that are visually stunning and unforgettable.

The food is amazing. Such a unique mix of Mexican and Japanese food. The sushi was SO good. And the plates were all presented beautifully. Drink service was a little slow but they tasted good. Our waiter was very attentive to us and checked on us regularly. Highly recommend trying this place out.

A magical sunset and an unforgettable dinner at OKEAH! Our group of four fell in love with the terrace and its beautiful ocean view. From the moment we arrived, Alondra provided first class service, warm, attentive, and thoughtful about every detail. I ordered the Ossobuco with Risotto, and WOW it was on another level! Absolutely finger licking good. My wife had the Lobster a la Rosa with tostones and couldn’t stop talking about how delicious it was. One of our friends ordered the Lamb chops with Risotto and called them “out of this world,” while his partner chose the Red Snapper with mofongo, cooked to perfection. All four of us loved our meals! The restaurant is beautiful, the wine selection is extensive, and the service is spectacular. Being able to watch your food being prepared adds another special touch to the experience. A gem you have to discover in Fajardo. OKEAH is officially our new favorite restaurant in the area, and we’re already looking forward to coming back!

Our first visit to Sottovento, and definitely not our last!!! ❤️ From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed. The cocktails and wine selection were excellent, and our waitress was so friendly and helpful, offering great recommendations on what to order. Everything we tried was delicious, with fresh, high-quality ingredients. We ended our dinner on the perfect note with an amazing chocolate budín served with vanilla ice cream, a scoop of coconut ice cream, and a cordial of Limoncello. Soooo delicious!!! 😋🍋🍨 Sottovento is an excellent place for a date night—perfect for enjoying great food, a nice conversation, and, most of all, indulging your belly! 😋 We’ll definitely be back!
