Tacos, tostadas or pescadillas: where to start?

Food and ideas to help you plan a visit to our house in Cancun.

Tostadas at La Casa de la Mantarraya on white plates

If this is your first visit to La Casa de la Mantarraya, the restaurant’s name offers a clue about what to try. Mantarraya means stingray, and you’ll find it in several sections of our menu. The preparation makes a difference: you might start with a single tostada, order tacos or share pescadillas while deciding what comes next.

Stingray tacos with tamarind sauce

This order comes with three tacos and pairs stingray with tamarind sauce. It’s one way to get to know the house specialty. Ask the team about the sauce’s ingredients or spice level before ordering if those details matter to you. The menu also lists stingray tacos in vizcaína sauce, offering another preparation to compare.

A tostada to start

Our stingray tostada is sold individually, so you can add one at the beginning of your meal and leave room for something else. The menu also includes shrimp, fish, tuna and black ceviche tostadas. Read the individual descriptions to decide what sounds good to you.

Pescadillas: filled, fried corn tortillas

Our stingray pescadillas are corn tortillas filled with stingray and fried. Check the menu for the single piece and the order of three. If your table wants to explore several dishes, compare the serving sizes before ordering and put together a meal that suits your appetite.

Looking for a main course?

There’s a separate section for stingray main courses: in caper sauce, in vizcaína sauce and fried. Sides vary with the preparation. You’ll also find other seafood, pasta, pizza and choices from the grill for guests who prefer a different dish.
