Here are the seven exquisite ways to enjoy lobster in Cancun, straight from the Fred’s menu.
1. Lobster Quesadilla: a Mexican classic with a gourmet twist
The Lobster Quesadilla is proof that Fred’s can turn the simplest dish into something exceptional. Three flour tortillas filled with a blend of melted cheeses, crispy bacon, green onions, and tender lobster, served with fries, guacamole, and pickled chilies.
It’s a perfect way to start your meal — comforting flavors elevated by the natural sweetness and texture of lobster.
2. Lobster Bisque: smooth, elegant, and comforting

Each spoonful is rich yet balanced, a luxurious introduction to the sea’s finest flavor.
3. Thermidor Supreme: the house favorite
The Lobster Thermidor Supreme is Fred’s signature dish and an icon of the menu. Prepared with lobster meat sautéed in butter, onions, and mushrooms, finished with a parmesan cheese and white wine sauce, and gratinated with mozzarella to golden perfection.
Served with mashed potatoes and asparagus, it redefines the classic French recipe with a tropical, contemporary touch that embodies the elegance of Fred’s.
4. Caribbean Lobster Tail: freshness in five delicious styles
The Caribbean Lobster Tail captures the best of versatility and flavor. Each 300 g tail can be prepared in five different ways, according to your preference:
- Garlic butter: aromatic and rich.
- Diabla: bold, spicy, and full of character.
- Butter: creamy and smooth, highlighting natural sweetness.

- Steamed: light and pure, for true seafood purists.
Whichever you choose, every version celebrates the natural flavor of fresh lobster — enhanced with the warmth of the Caribbean.

The Red Hook Roll brings contemporary flair to the menu. A homemade brioche bun filled with lobster salad tossed in chipotle mayo, lemon, and chives, served with fries and melted butter.
It’s a dish that feels casual yet refined — perfect for a relaxed afternoon by the lagoon, paired with a crisp glass of white wine or a refreshing cocktail.
6. Classic Roll: traditional, elegant, and perfectly balanced
If you prefer something more classic, the Classic Roll delivers just that. A house-made brioche bun with butter-poached lobster tail, crispy shallots, and golden fries.
Each bite is soft, rich, and subtly buttery, showcasing the purity of lobster at its best. It’s timeless, sophisticated, and distinctly Fred’s.
