    Montejo

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

    Blended mojito
    Sarah M.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

She was walking us a little towards the back, but since it was my first time to Isla, I wanted to people-watch, so I asked about a table up front. As soon as we headed over, I saw why she passed it - it was right next to the saxophone player! Thank goodness his volume level was perfect! Just loud enough to be heard over the crowds walking down the 'lane' out front and the restaurant diners' chatting. But not so loud that we 3 couldn't chat. We loved it! Now these two can EAT - and love to try everything on the menu, whereas I tend to eat smaller portions. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were fantastic - huge pieces of shrimp, so good! The lobster mac n cheese is so good, I would have loved to bring a big container of it home with me! The restaurant is very busy but very clean and tables are well organized for maneuvering a quick trip to the restroom before leaving. Our server, Maylen was attentive and pleasant. The bar area, facing the street, looked like a lot of fun, I'll have to try it next time!

And the saxophone player walked up to them played for them. That looked pretty nice. We sat next to the bar and there were some obnoxious gringos at the bar while we were there... which is common on the north side of the island.

Pro tip with all tacos: you gotta eat it fast or else the tortilla collapses in your hand. They had these amazing chips to go with not your usual salsa but a ketchup/mayo combo and a very very spicy chili crisp. I made the mistake of eating too many of the chips and not having enough room for my tacos. The coconut shrimp was just okay. Very tiny shrimp. My husband raved about the lime soup here for the rest of the trip; I can confirm that it was excellent. Fun casual atmosphere - our food came out pretty fast, even with all of the tables filled. Bonus points for playing music videos of 2010s pop hits on the tv by our table.

    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.

    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.

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!
