We are from out of town but stopped in to grab a quick dinner after a football game. This place has the best ever Hamburger steak and steak fingers!! Me and my Husband Loved the food and the small dinning room ambiance was Perfect for us! We really enjoyed everything about our visit down to the price we paid for the bill! Definitely worth coming back in the future!! read more

I love the service. Food is always hot and delicious. I live in Springtown Texas and when I come to visit my sister I always have to eat there. Love everything about Cafe Cozumel I give it stars read more

I've never tasted beef fajita that taste like Chinese beef maybe switch up your seasonings very strange.

I eat here once every two weeks. Their chicken fried steak meal, chili relleno and grilled chicken salad are really good.

Not quite sure how this is a 4.5 star restaurant other than limited options in the town possibly. We stopped in on our way through the town because of the reviews. The food was actually pretty good and we really enjoyed the salsa. The service was sub par. We had a high school young man who never checked on the table had to be called over for refills. He spent most of the time we were there talking to a couple of friends from school who were eating. I watched other customers of his have to get their own boxes, refills, etc. The service could do with some management or training. read more

Casual and comfortable both the food and atmosphere. Good, hot food for an affordable price. Queso is creamy and bland while the salsa has some heat to it. Great steak fingers in particular. Always a decent place to grab food whether it's some quick breakfast tacos in the morning or even a burger later in the day. read more

Oh my gosh, I'm back in little bitty Tuscola again! Three years ago when my plant was expanding, the contractor would bring me here for lunch. We always got the steak Mexicana. Steak bites grilled with onion, bell pepper, and jalapeños. So good! Fast forward to now, and I'm bringing two guys here for lunch. Roger got the chicken fry lunch special. I'll get that next time! I got 2 tacos and 2 enchiladas. I DON'T like enchiladas. Just not my thing. Chili rellanos please. You can't mess up tacos. 2 cheese enchiladas with a dark chili sauce. They were so good! I chowed them down. I will happily order their enchiladas again, beef next time, with that great chili sauce. Cordell's plate had 2 huge soft tacos. The flour tortillas were so big, they hung off the side of the plate. If your looking for some great Mexican food, this is the place! read more

We will eat there once a month sometime more. Every-time we have been there the food is always fresh and wonderful. I have never gotten anything I didn't like. read more

What a pleasant surprise! We stumbled across Cafe Cozumel on a road trip through west Texas. We asked the locals for recommendations but no one had eaten here. Thankfully my Yelp friends could be trusted. The food was DELICIOUS! It is authentic Mexican food - a tad different than your run of the mill TexMex. You can tell the owners care about the food they serve. Well done! read more

Another great meal at cafe cozumel. Pechuga Espanola was perfect! We love eating here, it is well worth the drive from Clyde.

Went last night food was hot and fresh..wait staff was great will be back!!!Cheese Enchiladas read more

I loved the sauce they put on their enchilada. It had depth, flavor, and tasted nothing like you would get out of a can. I would definitely recommend this to anyone passing near Tuscola. read more

Always enjoy the amazing food! The staff is very friendly. The atmosphere is very pleasant and welcoming.

Stopped by this morning after camping nearby. It had good reviews- we typically enjoy small town hole in the wall spots. Not a single person on staff was wearing a mask. Watched the cooks in the back- no masks or even gloves. The floors and tables were so dirty. No standards in place for current pandemic except to raise the price $1.00 if you wanted any meat on your order. We did not stay...felt so uncomfortable- paid for our untouched iced tea and left. read more

Best food around great service great prices would recommend it to anyone I love their mom special

The food was delicious! Best chips ever! Thin and crispy, yum. The salsa was good, but they have a sauce there called Chili Picoso(sp?) that's out of this world good! They offer it under the queso under appetizers, but personally I think it would be good on everything. The queso was some kind of cheese, it was passable. The enchiladas were good! I'll be back! read more

Waiters we're super. The food was ok for what it is. Would still recommend it for anyone to try. Not for everyone.

I'm not sure how many years Cozmel has been in Tuscola, but several of the churches in town go there on Sunday's after church. I am one of them. They have very good Mexican food and also have great chicken fry, salads and catfish too. If you want to beat the crowds or just be like a few of our church friends, try their breakfast menu. I haven't found anything I didn't love!!! read more

Great food! Wonderful Mexican Food but also great American Food selections. We eat here regularly and the quality is very consistent. The staff is wonderful. Very comfortable atmosphere. And the prices make this affordable to feed a family. read more

As a bleedin heart yankee transplant with heart still in the Lone Star State i gotta say I cannot BELIEVE there is not a good, simple, straightforward, well-sourced, evenly flavored Tex-Mex restaurant anywhere in New York City. Well Tuscola's got one. Tuscola 1, NYC 0. (That is until I can convince Elena to pack the family, move up to trendy Brooklyn, and go about their business under the hipster glow of #NewYorkValues.) Just kidding, they can stay put. Gives me yet another reason to come to this beautiful little slice of the world. What they got? Carne Guisada, omg. Brisket tacos, omfg. Homemade chips and salsa, ooomfffafg. Fresh brewed iced tea, oddndbebsnsjsjxfcgff. And FLAN. Murder me. Plus, Elena and her family are sweet and as Tex-Mex as they get. Getit eatit loveit. read more

Cafe Cozumel - Tex-Mex Near Me - Tuscola, Texas

Just a tin building and cement floor with so many tables the staff can barely make their way thru. Especially during lunch time. The foods not bad and it's the only sit down restaurant in town. The service was not a bad a experience at all but always have to wait on anyone to come to the register. you have to call in an order prepare to stand just inside the door with tables on three sides of you and the register on the remaining side so close to the people sitting at the tables that if you turned too fast you'd most likely hit someone. Food is not worth the atmosphere. read more

Not bad Mexican. I had chilies rellano, rather mild and wrapped in egg. Rice and beans also bland. Salsa has cilantro in it so for me it tastes like soap, but is spicy. Will go back to try other dishes. Not everyone makes rellanos to my taste. The service was great and fast. Like I said I will go back. read more

I have eaten there several times. The food has been great with exceptional service. The Steak Ranchero is highly recommended.

Not sure how this is rated 4.5 stars. We stopped here because it had 4.5 stars. We called ahead since we are traveling 6hrs to our home and needed to get something to go. Messed up our order. I asked for limes with my taco and was given a lemon. Had my husband go in to get the limes instead and as I'm distributing food to my kids in the vehicle I noticed they also gave me the wrong type of taco. So I went to give him taco to get order fixed. My husband comes back and tells me that he was told it would be another 30mins to remake my taco because "they are busy". 30 minutes to "Remake" a taco that they messed up on. I was given a guisada taco instead of an Asada taco. 30 minutes to make an Asada Taco. Then when my husband questioned why would they make us wait 30mins when it was their mistake and usually when a restaurant messes up an order they place that ticket as priority. Her response was " we don't even have Asada tacos that they have to make it as a burrito". Mind you the people working the front look like teenagers. The girl telling my husband all this was dark hair light skinned obviously didn't give a name. I just told my husband to get his money back. So now I'm the one who will wait to eat when we get to another town. As far as flavor of food we did receive correctly... potato egg taco was good, pancakes were ok, bean and cheese taco was "flavorless" needs spices and salt. Recommend getting an adult who is experienced in hospitality to the front. read more

Love this place! Great food and service! I'm obsessed with their chips and salsa! I'm thrilled to have them so close to home!!!

We love the food and team! Best Mexican food and the chicken fried steak is amazing. It's a favorite for our whole family!

The food is perfect every single time! No matter what you pick, you will not be disappointed! Family owned and operated. Worth the short drive. read more

CLOSED ON TUESDAYS!!!! We love driving out to Cozumels for dinner. They're fajitas are the best I've ever had. Lots of food for a decent price. Our kids love eating here as well. They only have canned sodas though and I can go through a canned drink in about four gulps so I always settle for the sweet tea and it's always good. I highly recommend this place for anyone who is wanting a good Mexican dinner!!! read more

Great Mexican food and great staff. Good for meals after church and meeting friends any other day.

Just a greasy spoon with darn good food and nice people. What more can you want? So I am told my review is to short. I'm not a literature major nor am I a damn politician. Good food. read more

I really like the food here. Everything I've had is great. Although it is a Mexican restaurant, they make a good burger. On the downside the dishes are pretty warn and some have cracks that can hold bacteria. Also, no soft drink refills here. You get a canned drink and if you want a refill you buy another can. They only have one type of salsa, HOT, HOt, HOT. Again though, the food is great. read more

We had a business lunch. The salsa is great, nice and spicy. The of the team had the chili relleno and said it was the best he has had. Another had the ribeye and said it was satisfied with his meal. Another said it was to much food to eat at one sitting. Overall this place hit the spot. read more

For a place to survive in a small community, it has to be both good and consistent. When Cozumel moved in, it was full of folks checking it out...a couple years later and it's full of friends and family. It's about as comfortable a place as you can get and the absolute best rellanos you all find north of the Rio Grande. The big surprise is not the great Mexican food at a Mexican restaurant, the burgers are cafe classic perfection, the chicken fried steak is homestyle comfort food. read more

Cafe Cozumel is the best little all around cafe! Some of our favorites are their perfect cafe/diner cheeseburger, tacos, beef enchiladas with green sauce, rice, beans, fajitas, chile relleno and chicken fried steak! On Saturday and Sunday morning they serve the best breakfast you will find in the Abilene, Buffalo Gap and Tuscola area! read more

Great service and food was awesome. Great chicken fried steak, hamburger, and enchilada

Our son-in-law introduced us to this restaurant. We go there every chance we get now. Their hot sauce is out of this world and their chili rellenos are wonderful. I have had a lot of food on the menu and all of it is excellent. I think they have the best Mexican food in all of Taylor county. read more

Salsa needs a bit of work. However, this place oddly enough has about the beat steak fingers I ever tasted! One of those ur group up ordered them and they were perfect! read more

The food at Cozumel is amazing, and the people are equally as wonderful. Absolutely love eating any meal at this establishment. They also helped me (last minute) to cater for a surprise party I was throwing my parents, their price was extremely reasonable and they were so easy to work with. Great place! read more
