Happy we found this place. Beach front restaurant , feet in the sand ! Food was good. Great service! SHOUT OUT TO JESUS, our server. Jesus was super nice and made us feel like VIPs . Beach was amazing of course

Montejo

Only restaurant in the island that offers my favorite beer Montejo. Food was delicious and fresh. Good service and amazing location.

Blended mojito

My families favorite beach restaurant on north shore. The prices are really good and the staff is super friendly. It's right on the beach and if you're buying drinks they'll let you leave all your stuff for as long as youre there to swim and stuff. The garlic shrimp is amazing and so is the shrimp cocktail. They have gold non alcoholic options too- lots of fresh fruit smoothies.

Shaded tables
Tyson M.

Good spot with shaded tables near the beach and lots of lounge chairs and umbrellas. Food was good, beers were cold, and service was great

Ceviche de Camaron, Palomas

Chimbo's is a great spot to visit for lunch/dinner at Isla Mujeres. There is limited street parking so remember to wear comfortable shoes if you're walking or using a golf cart. The restaurant sits right at a beach front and they offer beach chair reservations too. The ceviche I had here was the best I ever had. I love my ceviche lemony and savory, and this was the perfect combination. The service was kind and consistent. Highly recommend.

Scam artist!!!
Tom S.

Beware! These people are scam artists. Tried to charge us for beach chairs and minimum beverage service before they were even open and serving! Half of our party inquired about the beach chairs and we're told they were not open. We waited and when the other half of our party showed up and decided to find another location they threatened to call the police and said we owed them for the chairs and beverage service (THEY WERENT OPEN YET). Stay away from these guys... RUDE, FRAUDULENT, and lost out on days worth of our business.

Shrimp Cocktail

Located right on North Beach this is a great spot to start your day on Islas Mujeres. You can order drinks and some food and also enjoy the beach. They don't mind you to leave your stuff while you go take a dip in the water. David emphasize that they have cameras all over the restaurant so you can feel comfortable to leave your stuff to go onto the beach. The food was good and the service was great. Very attentive.

I heard lots of good things about Reuben's. So we definitely wanted to check it out for ourselves…read more It's on the southern part of the island and we had rented a golf cart to go from the north to the South to check it out. This restaurant definitely had I more local vibe compared to some of the tourist places up north. As soon as we got there I could tell the employees or maybe even the owner started counting up how many women are party and started to shuffling the tables around to accommodate us. This was definitely one of the highlights in terms of The food that we had. Everyone was happy with their dreams and their food We got the mixed grill which served for adults. The shrimp, the lobster, the steak, the chorizo all of it was a good mix. There was a lot of vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower as well as a salad. Someone else in our party got the enchiladas and a burrito and they're very particular about their Mexican food and they both said it was the best meal of the Trip. The only item I wouldn't order and not because it's bad just because it wasn't as good was the carbonara. I ordered it to split between the children and they actually loved it but if I were an Italian I would probably be left wanting.

Came here around 7pm because it was very close to where I was staying and I read they had wifi and…read morecoffee. I sat down to do school work on my laptop and used their free wifi. I ordered a latte and it was just ok, nothing special. They had a fan going but I still had sweat dripping down my sides. My waitress was lovely. I ordered steak and lobster. The potatoes and vegetables that came with the meal were really good. The lobster was good, maybe a little overcooked, but I wasnt a fan of the steak. There was only one other guest besides me and we actually talked the entire time, so I didnt get much school work done, but it was nice either way.

Like many, we don't like to hit up places on vacation more than once but we ended going to this…read moreplace three times!!!! Here are the top three reasons why you should go here multiple times. 1)The food. All homemade and perfectly portioned. The guacamole and cheesy dish was the best appetizer I've ever had. I was pretty full with just that. Even the chips are homemade. For dinner we ate tacos and a quesadilla, both solid and eaten quickly. Earlier we got an omelette and it was perfect with plenty of sides. 2)Price. We two appetizers, two entrees and drinks and it cost about 300 pesos. That's 15 bucks for us Americanos. If you walked about ten steps across the street, you would pay for the same food at about triple that price. 2)People. So this place does not have fancy music, TVs or even nice chairs. It's simple, clean and family run. They were always super nice and quiet, never pushing anything but still attentive to our needs. I hope you enjoy this place as much as we did.

Ay dios, this place is so good! On my birthday this year, me, my boyfriend, and two of my friends…read morewent on a booze cruise from Cancún to Isla Mujeres. Because we had been on the resort for the majority of the time, we were on the hunt for an authentic taco stand on the island. After passing what seemed like 100 tourist trap restaurants, we walked right up to this place. One look at the handwritten menu and quaint, outdoor kitchen, we knew we had found the place. The menu featured various tacos, empanadas, ceviche, and other traditional Mexican street foods. I ordered three chicharron tacos (because I'm obsessed with fried pork), while my bf ordered an al pastor, a chorizo, and a chicharrón taco, along with three empanadas. The food was made fresh, so there was a bit of a wait, but not too long. Man oh man, was it worth the wait. I honestly wasn't even hungry, but couldn't pass up the chance to eat street tacos in MX. The chicharron was perfectly crispy with a nice fat-to-skin-to-meat ratio. Did I mention that the tortillas were all freshly handmade as well? Additionally, their salsa picante was just that-- picante! It was hot as Hades, which wasn't apparent from the light green color of the sauce. But try some, it's worth it. I was in Mexico for four days and these chicharron tacos were, without a doubt, the best thing I ate. Nom nom!
