Must try: Cachapa Chévere!…read more Why: Delicious breakfast, which I tried the Cachapa for the first time! It came with black beans, plantains, cheese, avocado, and I added an egg. The corn battered pancake-like shell was soft sweetness. The Cachapa was much larger than I thought so it was filling! I was happy and my tummy was full to kick off the morning right. Notes: Cute place a few blocks from main 5th Avenue. They have indoor and outdoor seats. Clean and spacious. The server was awesome! Super welcoming and helpful. I was practicing my Spanish while he was practicing English. It was fun and engaging. The other workers were friendly too checking in if I needed anything. They provided 4 shot sized juices to start and my fav was passion fruit. Had a great time and a great breakfast! Definitely saving this place for a future visit!

During my 3 day stay at Cozumel, I came to eat at this lovely neighborhood restaurant everyday…read more Enrique and his wife are some of the friendliest and most hospitable people on the island. They ran a Mexican restaurant for over 20 years before opening Mi Antojito, so you know it's going to be delicious. Everything I ordered was absolutely delicious and extremely affordable. The Reina pepiada is a must try, and the cheese in the Tequenos is locally sourced and specially produced just for the dish. They also have gluten free options for those with dietary restrictions. I have been seeking authentic Venezulan food everywhere and have not found a better place than this. I will come back to Cozumel just for Mi Antojito.

I went there with a friend and we received the couples' deal for 2 pasta dishes.

I ordered the lasagna, which was a nice latin spin on an italian special with Spanish ham inside. It was also huge, and I took half of it to go. My friend ordered the cannolini and did the same. I ordered an empanada just to taste it and it was quite delicious as well - it came with a guacamole garnish - a pleasant surprise.

For my entrée, I had the skirt steak, and it was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The sweet potato with honey and cinnamon was absolutely delicious. My only real complaint is the portion sizes on a couple of items. The salad was very small, and I would have loved a more generous serving. I also ordered an amaretto sour. It was a little weak at first, so I asked for more amaretto, which made it better, but it still wasn't quite as strong as I prefer. The service was phenomenal. The staff was attentive, kind, and genuinely friendly throughout the entire experience. I felt well taken care of and truly enjoyed myself. I would definitely return.

Vegetarian enchiladas and vegetarian tostadas. Delicious! The walk-up is a little odd, as you enter through the kitchen area to get to the stairs to the dining area on the second floor. And the high-contrast flood lighting in the dining area isn't the most atmospheric touch. But, those are small quibbles given the fantastic food. Highly recommended!

It is hit or miss with this place. Great location, nice…read moredecor and atmosphere. The staff was nice as well. This place may be more known for their fresh juices but the food menu had a decent spread of choices. What I found to be unique was the bread they use for the tortas. I forgot to ask the server but I believe it was Cemita style bread. The torta did lack the appropriate amount of met I feel. If you are going to serve a sandwich this big, don't make the bite have more bread than meat per ratio. The flavor was good though just wish it had more met in it. For the price they charge I was a bit let down. That is the other thing guys, for some reason the price of this establishment could rival a lot of places in the US so don't assume you will have more cost effective eats as you may find some places are close American pricing. Most likely because of the tourism in the region but I bet you can find the same or similar sandwich on a street stall for about 30-40% less and just as good. Be careful with the green habanero salsa too btw. It is very very very spicy

We went to Mayakoba last month with five other families to celebrate Melissa K.'s 40th birthday…read more With twenty-two people in our party, including ten children, we played most of our meals by ear. Our last night, though, was Mel's actual birthday, and she and Kevin L. treated everyone to a fantastic dinner at Fuego, the beachfront restaurant at the Fairmont. The set-up was perfect for our group, which was about the same size as the cast of Lost (we too made ourselves comfortable on a scenic beach). The kitchen was outdoors, with a wood-fired grill, and the tables were right on the sand. We spent a solid three hours at Fuego, our children free to run and play around us when they finished their dinner. I would recommend bringing bug repellent or otherwise preparing for the little biting insects in the sand, which were very active at sunset (they calmed down when it got dark). I'm also amused by the one-star Yelp review starring a horde of raccoons. We did have one raccoon party crasher, who made off with someone's dessert. Service was excellent. We were well supplied with alcohol, and the pre-set menu came out at a good pace. Unfortunately, my picky six-year-old had nothing to eat, even on the kid's menu, but the staff went above and beyond to help us out. I asked, with the appropriate amount of shame, if there was any way we could get him a plain carb, something like bread or pasta, and our waiter arranged to bring him pasta with marinara sauce from a different hotel restaurant. My son had a hearty dinner thanks to his efforts. I drank several cocktails, starting with a Riki Tiki, a refreshing drink made with Aperol, mezcal, passion fruit, lime juice, and agave syrup. Then I switched to Mr. Mezcal, a sort of sweet and spicy margarita with Liquor Ancho Reyes, mezcal, lime juice, agave syrup, and a choice of hibiscus, passion fruit, or guava. I tried both the passion fruit and guava and both were great, though I'd give the edge to the guava. The food was superb, the best I had on this trip, and plenty of it. There were tlayudas with regional salsas--chiltomate, sikil pak, and habanero tamulada. The vegetable dishes came out of the garden. Charred corn esquites with aioli, chapulin chili powder, and lime; k'uum, a regional Mayan dish with local pumpkin, butternut squash, pattypan, zucchini, pumpkin seed, pumpkin flower, and Ramonetti cheese; then caramelized Noh Bec carrots and chaya with Mayan spinach chlorophyll, burnt cream, and cashew. I loved both of the raw offerings, the blue fish al pastor and the aguachile. I'm not sure what kind of fish was in either dish (I don't think "blue fish" is a species outside Dr. Seuss), but they were fresh and delicious. The blue fish came with honey pineapple, guajillo chili, regional citrus, criollo cilantro, and chochoyotas, which must have been the tiny masa Cheerios. The Vallarta-style aguachile was made with silky artisan hook-caught fish. It was a colorful dish, the fish in a Pepto Bismol pink marinade, in a bowl of creamy puréed avocado salsa with cherry tomatoes and pickled onion. There was also a piece of corn toast drizzled with avocado and cilantro. Four shareable entrées, cooked on the grill and tremendously flavorful. Campeche shrimp came with roasted garlic emulsion, toasted shishitos, radish, and mizuna. The pollo Rock Cornish "La Cabaña" and wild mushrooms was a cozy bowl of tender game hen with a seasonal mushroom "menudo," mushroom salad, and huitlacoche stew. Mayan octopus was beautifully grilled, with dried chilies adobo, charred eggplant purée, and pickled xcatic chile. My favorite, though, was the catch a las brasas, a large butterflied fish with arbol chile, oregano, mayo, and rice. It came with lemon and green salsa and tortillas to make fish tacos. Dessert was served, along with two feisty sparklers to mark Mel's birthday. The desserts spread was lovely, with a number of things I'd never tried before, many of them involving cheese. There was cassava cake with buffalo cheese, activated coconut charcoal, and regional fruit cream; a wood-fired cheesecake with green papaya compote and double cream cheese; and totomoxtle--an heirloom corn husk--with seasonal stone fruit, toasted almonds, pinole crumble, ricotta and mango ice cream, and cotija cheese. On the simpler side, there was a Mexican chocolate brownie with vanilla and strawberry ice cream. We all had a wonderful time at Fuego, the adults feasting and drinking on a gorgeous beach, the children eating a good dinner then playing in the sand. It was a birthday party to remember, a celebration worthy of our beloved friend and auntie.

The flavor of what we ordered was definitely accentuated by how the food was prepared. I guess I can't complain about the "Fuego "part of their food. Why it is lacking to stars is that basically everything they served was charred, there was nothing else offered that could balance out all the burnt food we were eating. So it made everything start to taste the same which was rather unfortunate considering how tasty the food initially seemed. We did get a bit burnt out (haha) with all the char and nothing fresh to balance the burnt flavor. This place would be better for a snack I guess?
