Cancun rewards the visitor who treats dinner as a reason to leave the resort. The 12 kitchens on this list cover Mexican cooking, Italian and pizza, Japanese, steak from the grill, burgers and hot dogs, and one table that puts Belgian and French cooking beside seafood. The hours are part of the story: La Palapita Tulum runs to 02:00, La Vicenta Cancun to 01:00, and Taqueria Coapenitos is open from 09:00 to 01:00, while others keep a tight window: Peter's Restaurante serves Tuesday to Saturday, 18:00 to 22:00, and that is all. This list is for people willing to read an address, check a clock, and perhaps make a phone call before they eat. We have given hours and addresses as verified and nothing we could not source; where the record is thin, we say so plainly instead of filling the gap with adjectives.

1 La Parrilla
51 Avenida Yaxchilán, 77500Mexican cooking served every day from 12:00 to 00:00
From 12:00 until 00:00, every day of the week, the kitchen at La Parrilla is cooking Mexican food. That span is the case for this address, 51 Avenida Yaxchilán in the 77500: a late lunch, a proper dinner, or a plate at 23:00 when you had given up on eating well. Skip the resort buffet that calls itself a Mexican night; if you want the cuisine, go where it is the whole menu and not a theme. Come hungry and unhurried, order more than you think you need, and let the table fill. If you are bringing a crowd, ring +529982878118 first, and the house website is worth a look before you go.

2 La Palapita Tulum
22 Avenida Tulúm, Cancún, QRTacos, burgers and Mexican plates until 02:00
At 22 Avenida Tulúm, La Palapita Tulum keeps hours built for a late appetite: 10:00 to 02:00, every day. The kitchen is listed for tacos, burgers and Mexican cooking, which sounds unfocused until it is 01:00 and half the table wants one thing and half another. The best taco of the night is often the last one, eaten well after the dinner crowd has gone home. Don't overthink the order: start with tacos, let the burger people have their burger, and stay as long as the conversation does. The phone is +529982249946, and there is a website for a look ahead.

3 La Dolce Vita
Avenida Cobá, CancúnItalian cooking and pizza, daily from 12:00 to 22:30
La Dolce Vita, the Italian and pizza kitchen on Avenida Cobá, runs service from 12:00 to 22:30 every day, so this is a dinner you plan rather than one you stumble into after midnight. Skip the hotel pizza ordered out of tiredness; a meal that someone built a whole restaurant around is a better use of an evening. Italian food in a beach city divides people, and we come down on the side that says a week of holiday eating wants one night of pasta or pizza. Go as a pair or a four, take your time, and call +529988843393 if the date matters. The restaurant keeps its own website too.

4 Sushi Roll
Avenida Nichupté, 77501Japanese cooking on Avenida Nichupté; confirm the hours by phone
Sushi Roll is a Japanese kitchen on Avenida Nichupté, and it comes with one oddity worth knowing before you set out: its listed hours read 13:00 to 13:00, daily. We read that as a reliable 13:00 start and an unreliable closing time, not a promise of rolls around the clock, so call +52 998 884 1444 before a late visit. The postal code is 77501. The reason to make the trip is straightforward: after several days of tacos and grilled meat, rice and fish reset the palate better than anything else we know. Don't bother with the sushi station at an all-inclusive, where rolls are an afterthought; go to a kitchen whose whole listing is Japanese. The website is the place to start.

5 La Vicenta Cancun
MZ 2-Lt 5 Avenida BonampakGrill and steak house cooking until 01:00
Steak is the argument at La Vicenta Cancun, a grill and steak house at MZ 2-Lt 5 Avenida Bonampak. Service starts at 13:00 and runs to 01:00 every day, which makes this a place we'd send someone who wants red meat at midnight and means it. Skip the surf-and-turf platter at the resort; a cut of beef deserves a kitchen that lists nothing but the grill. This is a long-table dinner, in our view: go with people who like to share, order for the middle of the table, and don't rush the last hour. For a large group, phone +529986886736 before you turn up. The website is worth checking first.

6 Marbha Cancún
7 Calle Jararte, Av Huayacán Manzana 341, Cancún, 77500Burgers from 10:00 to 22:00 daily
Write the address down before you go: Marbha Cancún is at 7 Calle Jararte, Av Huayacán Manzana 341, in the 77500. It is a burger kitchen, open 10:00 to 22:00 every day, which means a burger at mid-morning is on the table, and we approve. Better than the franchise burger you could eat in any airport; the point of travelling is to eat the version you cannot get at home. This is the entry on the list that asks the most of you in planning, so treat it as a destination and not a detour. It keeps a web page on ola.click, and the phone number is +529983039531 if you want to confirm before setting out.

7 Los Hochos Del Bro
lote 33 Calle Altavista, 77533Burgers and hot dogs, evenings only, Monday to Saturday
Doors open at 18:30 at Los Hochos Del Bro, and they stay open until 23:45, Monday to Saturday. Sunday does not appear in the listed hours, so do not plan your last night around it without checking. The address is lote 33 Calle Altavista, 77533, and the kitchen is listed for burgers, hot dogs and American food. An evening-only schedule suits this kind of eating; a loaded hot dog is a night food, and we will hear no argument. The locals eat late and without ceremony, and a visitor should do the same. Skip the hotel room service club sandwich and come here instead. The number to ring is +52 998 152 6215.

8 El Pescado Ciego
Avenida Carlos Nader, 7750Daily service from 13:00, with an early 20:00 close on Sundays
Nothing in the record we work from says what El Pescado Ciego cooks, and we will not guess for you. What we can stand behind is this: the address is on Avenida Carlos Nader, the kitchen opens at 13:00 every day, and it closes at 22:00 from Monday to Saturday and at 20:00 on Sunday. That Sunday cut-off catches people out, so eat early. Skip the restaurants that shout at you from a flyer; we would rather send you to a place you have to look up. Do the looking on its Facebook page, which is the web address it gives, or phone +529988981670 and ask what is on today.
Hours: Mo-We 13:00-22:00; Th-Sa 13:00-22:00; Su 13:00-20:00

9 Taqueria Coapenitos
25 Avenida Carlos NaderA taqueria open from 09:00 to 01:00, every day
Taqueria Coapenitos is at number 25 on Avenida Carlos Nader, opens at 09:00, and stays open until 01:00 every day of the week. A taqueria that runs from breakfast through the small hours earns its place, because it lets you decide when the craving is serious. Locals have long known a taco is as much a morning food as a midnight one, so skip the hotel breakfast once and test the theory. Go twice if you can, once early and once late, and compare notes. The phone is +529988108699, and the taqueria keeps a link page online.
Hours: Mo-Su 09:00-01:00

10 Peter's Restaurante
11 Lt 71-72, 3 Avenida BonampakInternational cooking, dinner only, Tuesday to Saturday
Start with the Facebook page at Peter's Restaurante, the one web address it lists. The kitchen is international and the hours are narrow: Tuesday to Saturday, 18:00 to 22:00. The address reads 11 Lt 71-72, 3 Avenida Bonampak, so give it to your driver exactly as written. A dinner-only schedule with a window that short tells us a kitchen is choosing its nights, and we like that confidence. Avoid the all-day places that serve everything to everyone at any hour; a restaurant that cooks for 4 hours an evening has nowhere to hide. Plan around it, arrive near 18:00 if you want a slow meal, and keep Sunday and Monday for somewhere else.

11 7x7 Jugos. Tacos. Licuados
Av. BonampakMexican cooking from 07:00 to 23:00, every day
Juice, tacos and licuados are all in the name at 7x7, and the hours back the breadth: 07:00 to 23:00, every day. The cooking is Mexican and the address is on Avenida Bonampak. This is the earliest opening on our shortlist for anyone who wakes up hungry, and we rate it for exactly that reason. Skip the hotel buffet for one morning and have a fresh juice with a taco at 07:00 instead; it is a better start to a beach day than a tray of lukewarm eggs. It works at the other end of the day too, when you want something light before 23:00. The listed phone is a local number, 8840427.

12 La Palapa Belga
13 Quetzal, Cancún, 77500Belgian and French cooking alongside seafood and fish
Belgian and French cooking share a kitchen with seafood and fish at La Palapa Belga, 13 Quetzal in the 77500. Service runs from 14:00 to 23:00 every day, which suits a long late lunch as well as it suits dinner. Skip another night of the same grilled fish and lime that every beachfront menu repeats; a kitchen with a European accent handles the fish differently, and after a week in Cancun that difference registers. We'd come here on the night you want to sit for 3 hours and talk. Call +52 998 883 5454 to hold a table, and look over the restaurant's website before you go.
