Lorenzillo's: Current Prices and What's Included

Dining at Lorenzillo's represents a significant investment compared to most Cancun restaurants. For a full dinner experience, including an appetizer, a main course featuring lobster or premium seafood, a couple of drinks, and dessert, expect to pay upwards of $100 to $150 per person, before tip.

This range can easily climb higher if you opt for larger lobster preparations, fine wines, or multiple courses. During peak season, like December through April, demand is higher, but the à la carte pricing structure means the base cost of dishes remains consistent. However, availability of prime tables, especially those with lagoon views, becomes more competitive.

Shoulder seasons might offer a slightly more relaxed atmosphere, but don't anticipate significant price drops on the menu itself.

At Lorenzillo's, your bill primarily covers the specific food and beverages you order from their extensive à la carte menu. This includes a wide selection of fresh seafood, with a particular emphasis on live lobster, prepared in various styles. You are paying for the quality of the ingredients, the preparation by experienced chefs, and the service in a formal dining setting.

Unlike some establishments that might include a bread basket or amuse-bouche as standard, these are typically part of the overall dining experience rather than itemized inclusions. There are no 'all-inclusive' packages or set menus that bundle drinks or multiple courses at a fixed price.

The focus is entirely on the individual selections made by the diner from their menu.

Even at an all-inclusive property like Lorenzillo's, some costs can surprise. A daily resort fee, typically around $30 to $50, covers things like Wi-Fi and gym access. While not exorbitant, it adds up over a week.

Upgrading liquor brands or ordering specific wines outside the house selection will incur charges, often at city prices. The expectation of tipping is also prevalent. While not mandatory, a few dollars for a bartender or server who remembers your drink order goes a long way, and bellhops and housekeepers also appreciate gratuities.

Finally, any excursions booked through the hotel, whether a catamaran trip to Isla Mujeres or a cenote tour, are separate expenses. These are often marked up compared to booking directly with independent operators, so it pays to research options outside Lorenzillo's.

Lorenzillo's, as a high-demand, à la carte restaurant, rarely offers promotional 'deals' in the traditional sense. Its pricing is largely consistent year-round. However, securing a desirable table, particularly one on the outdoor deck overlooking the lagoon, requires advance booking.

For peak season (December to April), we recommend making reservations at least two to three weeks out, especially for weekend evenings. During the slower summer months or hurricane season, you might find more flexibility with same-day or next-day reservations. There are no flash sale patterns or deposit policies for individual reservations; you typically pay for your meal at the end of your dining experience.

If Lorenzillo's doesn't align with your budget, but you still seek a satisfying meal in Cancun, there are alternatives offering different experiences. For a more casual, family-friendly seafood option with a lively atmosphere, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Cancún provides a range of shrimp and southern fare at a lower price point.

If you're looking for a different upscale dining experience, Ilios offers Greek cuisine with a distinct ambiance, though it will still be a premium experience. For a more relaxed, café-style meal, Cafe Antoinette Xpuhil provides a good option, though it's a different culinary style entirely.

These options present varying price points and dining styles compared to Lorenzillo's focused seafood menu.
