DOWNTOWN. Vegetarian visitors to Cancún don't have to settle for just rice and beans, especially if they select 100% Natural as their dining destination. This trendy restaurant serves fresh fruit, yogurt and granola, salads, and a variety of soups. Although burgers are available, the focus is definitely more toward the health-conscious. For dessert, patrons can cool off with some sugar-free ice cream.

Starting the day with some fresh juice and bread is sure to give you the energy you need for a day of business, and Café El Nopalito obliges. This is also an ideal place for a mid-morning refuel of yogurt and granola or just a comfortable place to relax and chat while you wait for the next big meeting to start.

ISLA MUJERES. With most eateries opening later in the day, Cafécito offers the morning crowd some of the finest selections in Cancún. Choose from waffles, yogurt and fresh fruit, egg dishes, or fruit-filled crêpes to give you a mid-morning boost. Cafécito also serves up a selection of coffees. If you've already reached your coffee limit for the day, then come back for a light lunch of fresh-baked bread and deli-style sandwiches. You'll be rewarded with a bright, sunny décor that is ideal for both chatting and eating.

ZONA HOTELERA. Captain's Cove provides diners with an opportunity to get away from the busy Hotel Zone area and enjoy great cuisine at reasonable prices. The main focus is on such seafood dishes as fresh fish, lobster, and shrimp, but diners can also order ribs or steak. Hang around for a while to let your meal settle, and then enjoy a dessert like key lime pie or a sweet crêpe before again facing the tourist crowds.

ZONA HOTELERA. Iguana Wanna is one of the best places in town to catch a sporting event, listen to live music, and, of course, sample some authentic Mexican cuisine. Diners are especially fond of the popping and sizzling fajitas, although many show up for the vegetarian menu and breakfast as well. There is also a children's menu; however, when big sporting events are lined up, the crowd turns predominantly male, and the beer and tequila flow freely.
