Migas
Ame H.

Go eat here. Fantastic breakfast, wonderful service. Worth the walk. Migas - amazing!

Food

Walk a couple of blocks off the main road and be rewarded. Yes, they have American favorites but what the heck, you're in Mexico. The Mexican platter is delicious and a great bargain for about $10 and includes coffee. Service is pleasant in English or Spanish,

Huevos Motuleños
Teresa P.

We had breakfast at Amparo's. The staff is great and very welcoming. The place is clean. We ordered some enfrijoladas and huevos Motuleños. They were delicious! This is a great place if you're looking for authentic food. I highly recommend it.

Everyone loved their dish here and I loved mine the most. What I got might surprise you. Ready? Don't judge. Hear me out here. Best club sandwich I've ever had. YOU ORDERED A CLUB SANDWICH IN MEXICO? You're goddamn right I did. Wasn't aware it was a crime but if it was SEND ME TO JAIL BECAUSE SWEET BABY JESUS IT WAS GOOD. What a perfect way to start a long day of swimming and exploring. The cheese was melty and to die for, the meat tasted fresh and the bread delivered a trip to flavortown that would make Guy blush. I also had a smoothie which let me tell you, was the perfect addition to my meal. Service is as it is anywhere else on island, a little slow but kind and exact. Enjoy it- you're on island time baby.

Cutest family owned breakfast place. Food is great and prices are also great!! The staff are extremely welcoming

I had the  Portobello skillet with sausage. It was delicious onions were sweet.

Coffee is very unique nothing compared to anything else. Chorizo beans are very tasty.

Huevos Motelenas - awesome!

This was a awesome find for a great breakfast. Hopped off our cruise ship and after a 20-30min walk, we finally found this place. It's small, but clean and nice. Maybe 6-7 small tables with A/C. They serve some complimentary bread/toasts with three sauces: strawberry, chocolate coffee, pineapple mango; all were flavorful. My wife and I split the Huevos Motelenas - it was an awesome combo of flavors. Pretty cheap. I highly recommend this place. Next time I'll try one of their skillets.

We enjoyed our breakfast at Amparo's. We ordered the Huevos Rancheros and a Mexican Skillet for food as well as a Moka coffee and regular American coffee. Both were delicious with a subtle American flare. I would have enjoyed more spice and the staff were accommodating and provided crushed habanero to add when requested. The staff were friendly and provided great customer service. We would go again.

Sartén mexicana - with underdone potatoes. Not terrible but not good either

It was with great expectations that we went to Bindiya this evening.   The reviews that we found…read morespoke highly of this new restaraunt just a few blocks from the center of San Miguel.   As people who spend a month per year in Cozumel this diversity was welcomed. Walking into an empty restaurant was our first sign of concern, but when the lady in charge didn't get off her butt to greet us concerns began to grow.  We entered anyway wanting to believe the reviews we read - they must have been paid reviews on yelp.. My pina colada was the worst I've had - EVER!  Tried to order but they didn't have Nan bread.  Seriously, an indian (dot) restaurant without nan.  Tried for plain basmati rice - no again.  They charged $5 for some flavored rice.  Have you ever been to an Indian restaurant that did not serve rice with the main dishes?  But not having lamb - no lamb at all - that section of the menu was out.  So it was chicken or fish or some unrecognizable vegetarian stuff with potatos. So we defaulted to two chicken dishes, Murgh chicken curry & Butter chicken along with an order of Jerra rice (had to buy rice!).. The dishes were VERY bland.  The murgh curry wasn't bad though and we did eat it.  It just lacked any real curry flavor.  The butter chicken was unlike any butter chicken I've ever eaten in any country in Asia or even the US..  It was almost Italian in nature with the overload of tomato sauce in it.  I've never had Butter chicken that tasted like tomato sauce.   It was horrid and we left over half of it on the table, along with that skanky pina colada. On the bright side the decor of the restaurant looks nice and the prices were not over the top.  More expensive than the value as it turns out. A very disappointing experience...

Finally my family agreed and in Cozumel , I yelped and found an Indian restaurant. It is about 15 minutes inside , away from ferry. The decor was inviting and excellent.the host was courteous. We ordered, salty lassi , lemonade and mango lassi.we loved our drinks. After that we ordered, chicken tikka masala and chicken biryani and garlic naans. My kids finally thanked me for taking them for Indian cuisine as they loved the food. The chicken tikka was perfectly spiced for my kids taste and biryani for my more spicier taste. The owner also came to visit with us on her day off . We appreciated the welcoming gesture!! We thanked the chef Sanjay for making our visit memorable with his delicious cooking . Will be back when we are back to Cozumel!!

They have a couple of great regional Yucatan dishes here, like the Molcajete and the Cochinita. San Miguel de Cozumel is admittedly not the most beautiful or interesting Mexican city to do touristy stuff in, so it was a treat to find some great regional cuisine to try. I was with a group, so we ordered the Molcajete (basically, mixed grilled meats in a stew), ceviche, and cochinita (stewed pulled pork), along with tortillas. All of it was great. The sauces, from the salsa to the stew broths to the ceviche sauce, were all terrific. There was mention that they dishes were spicy, but in the end, none of the stuff was super-spicy. Furthermore, the spicy stuff was often a salsa served on the side, or a whole roasted pepper that wasn't integrated into the dish, so you could calibrate your spiciness to your taste. Bathrooms: Basic, but clean and functional.

There are restaurants you enjoy, and then there are places that become part of your vacation…read moretraditions. For us, Sorrisi is the latter. For more than 10 years, every trip to Cozumel has included at least four or five meals here. It simply wouldn't feel like Cozumel without Sorrisi. From the very first bite, you can tell everything is made with love and from scratch. The pizza is outstanding, the pasta is always fresh, and the desserts are absolutely worth saving room for. Some of our all-time favorites are the Chicken Parmesan, the baked gnocchi, and the fresh sangria--each one is consistently delicious and keeps us coming back for more. But what truly makes Sorrisi unforgettable is the people. Over the years, we've been welcomed not just as customers, but as friends. The staff is always warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to see you. On our most recent visit, Gaspar and his incredible team made us feel so special by preparing an off-menu favorite just for us. It's those thoughtful touches and genuine kindness that set this restaurant apart. Thank you, Gaspar and everyone at Sorrisi, for so many wonderful meals and memories over the years. We look forward to every visit and can't wait to return again. If you're lucky enough to find yourself in Cozumel, don't miss the chance to experience Sorrisi. We have no doubt you'll understand why it's become such a special place in our hearts.

Real vegetarian entrees made by people who understand how good food is that features fresh, locally sourced ingredients! Pay no attention to the one previous bad review. The owner was so kind and welcoming. When I didn't care for my first smoothie, which she suggested might be off putting to my US palette, she watched me try to drink it. Then she comped me the smoothie my daughter had chosen made with strawberries, coconut milk and mango--no added sugar, brought in a mason jar mug. I was very happy to be so graciously welcomed. The owner speaks great idiomatic English and basically said she would be happy to make us whatever we wanted. I asked for a plain salad with lettuce, tomato, and avocado and that's just what we got, with a tangy balsamic vinaigrette. Then I had the home made enchiladas stuffed with potatoes and cheese, absolutely delicious by any standard. We very much enjoyed sitting in the back garden sipping our smoothies and munching on complimentary chips and salsa. Likely we will return before our week in Cozumel ends. second night here!

The ambiance is social and fun, but could easily be a date night as well. Our servers went above and beyond for us despite how busy it was.

I had the surf and turf appetizer that was served inside a soft wonton shell. I also had lobster bisque. I've definitely had better but the base of it was unique and not as creamy as I am used to experiencing. The salmon dinner was good, but the shrimp main course was devoid of seasoning - making it less than ideal. I appreciated the sorbet that was offered to cleanse the palate between meals.

I think it's safe to say that we saved the best for last! My one complaint is regarding the availability of reservations. We went to the concierge desk to make a reservation for a Sunday on a Friday morning, and they only had a 9pm reservation left. That's a bit late for us old heads, so we instead opted for a Monday night at 6pm reservation. Thankfully we were staying through Monday night - I would have been very sad if we weren't able to check this place out. Though the hotel says you need to make reservations before 2pm on the same day, I would suggest securing your reservation as early as possible. The service here was absolutely impeccable. Our wine and water was always filled and the courses came out in a perfect time-frame. Our waiter was super nice and attentive, and they were very accommodating to my husband who is allergic to penicillin/mold/BLUE CHEESE! Clearly he could not eat the Gorgonzola soup, so they substituted a delicious vegetable soup for him. From start to finish, I enjoyed every single bite. There was not one thing that I ate and reacted to with a "meh." You can check out the photos to see everything I consumed, but I could rave about each dish (especially the whiskey truffles). I left feeling full and treated like a superstar. The violinist was also a great touch!
