Cozumel Restaurant Reviews

Dining options on Cozumel reflect the island's nature: breezy and relaxed with few pretensions (casual dress and no reservations are the rule here). Most restaurants emphasize fresh ingredients, simple presentation, and amiable service. Nearly every menu includes seafood; for a regional touch, go for pescado tixin-xic (fish spiced with achiote and baked in banana leaves). Only a few tourist-area restaurants serve regional Yucatecan cuisine, though nearly all carry standard Mexican fare like tacos, enchiladas, and huevos rancheros. Budget meals are harder and harder to find, especially near the waterfront. The best dining experiences are usually in small, family-owned restaurants that seem to have been here forever.

Many restaurants accept credit cards; café-type places generally don't. Don't follow cab drivers' dining suggestions; they're often paid to recommend restaurants.
