Every Cozumel I go to.. tastes exactly the same. I am a completely addicted to their salsa. To go 32oz salsa.. 7-10 monies. Worth every penny. I never purchase salsa anywhere else The beans... wowzass!! Depth of flavor, spice level and texture perfection. Patio seating open. Margs flowing. Good food at a good price. read more

A great option for a large group! We stopped for a family dinner and birthday celebration. Despite being very busy we were quickly seated. Staff were so friendly and quick with service! They even had crayons and a coloring page for kids at the table. The food portions are generous and can be shared. The chips and salsa were so good! Staff were great about refilling salsa & chips when we needed. The veggie fajitas came out sizzling hot. Very good! We ordered black beans instead of refried. A great option for sharing between two. The bean & cheese enchiladas were a bit too cheesy for me. At the end of the meal, staff gathered with sombreros for those celebrating birthdays at our table. They sang happy birthday and brought a complimentary sweet treat. A nice way to end our meal. Free parking lot. Restrooms available. They have a few locations in the CLE area too! read more

Went therr for an evening with my father after work on a Tuesday. There were a few other diners but not many. The atmosphere is fun and inviting as they have many colors all around and are playing music everyone knows. The service we had was good..it could have been better but still was decent. I had asked our waiter for extra lettuce with my nachos which he didn't have it added and then had to go back for and charged us extra for that even though he didn't tell us it was an added charge. Other than that everything was great. The fokd was good too. I got Nachos Supremos which isn't on their menu but I called ahead and asked. I asked for beans on the side with the sour cream and extra lettuce. It didn't come with alot of lettuce on it so I asked for extra. read more

Cozumel - Nachos Supreme (extra lettuce not pictured) - Mexican Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

I love Mexican foods and the issue with a lot of Mexican restaurants is that they're pretty similar and there's not a lot that sets them apart aesthetically. Although I will say this is probably one of the nicest ones I've ever been to. Server was very friendly. It was fairly busy around 345 and almost packed when we left. The food was good, as expected. If I lived here or near here I'd be back often. Check it out. read more

The food is excellent, but within 2 hours of ordering food on line from a third party, my credit card was compromised. This also happened to my husband when he ordered from the online service. We weren't sure with his credit card where it was compromised, but having this happened to me we now know. Call in order and pay when you pick up. read more

Ok Angela waited on us she was really good may have to steal her - Now the food- I live in Houston home of Tex Mex but this is Mexican - I have been to Mexico many times and the food is rather bland and so was this food - I expected flavor but it is Ohio - spice it up use Adobo and Sazon and Sofrito - it was the blandest food ever. But the service was excellent!! read more

I visited in early December 2023 with a date. We weren't planning to go here but it was an impromptu find. We both had just come from a local gym together and we were really hungry so this was the closest restaurant on our drive back. We spotted Cozumel in my date's car as we drove so we quickly pulled in. The restaurant is large and it wasn't very busy when we arrived so we were seated right away. I had their Fajita Rice Bowl Special which is chicken with rice and peppers. It tasted just okay but I could barely finish my meal. The chicken wasn't as tender and it didn't have much flavour in it. I could barely eat the rice because my whole plate was covered in salsa. The green peppers were fine but tasted slightly mushy. My date had the better meal even though I didn't try it but he offered me a piece. I think I just tasted one or two pieces of the vegetables in his tacos and they were good. He ordered the Veggie Tacos Special (3 pieces) which are vegetarian tacos on a soft shell with vegetables on them such as avocado and broccoli. The tacos had a little salsa in them and came with a side of sauce (I don't know what sauce). Each dish cost under $15, I think. My date paid so I can't remember the cost of the Fajita Rice Bowl Special and the Veggie Tacos Special. As for drinks, I just got a glass of water and my date got a beer. Overall, this is a casual Mexican restaurant with quick and friendly service. I'll have to try something else from their menu next time, if I come back. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 40/150 total reviews in 2024 - 690 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 2 June 2024 read more

Good experience! Really good frozen lime marg and the pitcher is a very good deal. We also ordered the queso fundido with chorizo, which came with tortillas but also went great just with chips. I ordered the taquito trio with the cheese sauce on the side. Honestly these weren't bad but I would try something else next time. They were just a little bland. The cheese dip plain was great and helped the taquitos for sure but they were still just meh. Side of rice was also pretty bland The complementary chips and salsa were both very good! Salsa was really flavorful and chips weren't the best I've had but not bad. Saw some people order the taco salad which I also considered, will try that next time! Very lively place. Great and speedy service. We enjoyed the experience overall and even though our food came fast we didn't feel rushed! read more

My go-to restaurant in Lakewood that never disappoints! The enchiladas, burritos, and queso dip are to die for. I will be sad not being so close when I move out of town, but will be willing to make the hour drive just to come here. If you are looking for a classic "Americanized Mexican" restaurant, this is the best place! Ask for Angela. read more

Cozumel always hits the spot when you're craving a good Mexican meal. Their margaritas are so good and as a vegetarian I love that I have multiple options. Service was very good and food came out in less than 15 minutes despite it being a crowded Friday night. The ambiance is okay for me. I think the inside could use some updating, but overall my favorite place in the area for a classic Mexican dinner. read more

great spot for casual mexican food and margaritas. portions were generous, flavors were solid, and the vibe was fun and lively. service was friendly and everything came out pretty quickly. perfect place to stop with friends when you're craving tacos and a strong margarita. been here many of times!! read more

Very excited to try Cozumel for the first time because a new one is coming to my neighborhood in Cleveland Heights soon. Had no idea what to expect, and was completely blown away by the cleanliness, the speedy lunch service, the attentiveness of the wait staff despite how crowded it was, the delicious meal I had - chicken fajita quesadilla with beans. My nephew suggested the queso and I'm so glad we got it - silky, smooth, and delicious. I can't wait for the new Cozumel to come to the end of my block. It might be dangerously close if it's at all as great as the Lakewood site is. read more

My husband and I dined at Cozumel, and we enjoyed it thoroughly. The Mexican food served here isn't authentic Mexican cuisine, however, it's quite enjoyable for Americanized Mexican food. All of the food was flavorful. I really enjoyed their salsa which is on the thicker side but not overly chunky. The atmosphere has a casual vibe. The waiter was attentive and the food arrived in a timely manner. My husband had a lime margarita which he said was a good mix of sweet and tart. The prices are very reasonable for the portions. read more

Nothing but "mi casa, su casa" energy here!! The food is incredible, prices are great, margaritas are phenomenal, and the staff is incredibly friendly. Burrito a la diabla is my favorite here.

Cozumel has its charm, but I expected a bit more excitement. The beaches are nice, but some areas felt crowded. The food was decent, with a few standout dishes, yet not all lived up to the hype. Overall, it's a nice getaway, just don't go in with super high expectations! read more

We eat there quite often when we are Lakewood. GREAT FOOD, GREAT SERVICE. We were there yesterday I had to wake the three year-old up to get him out of the car. He cried, cried and cried. Angela was wonderful. Brought the kids food right away, even brought ice cream to try and settle him down, as well as oranges. even offered to walk around with him. He knows her from our family going there so often. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you, Angela. read more

I Delicious food and quantity is generous! All of the entrees were amazing and made to perfection!

Craving authentic Mexican? Look no further than Cozumel! Located in Downtown Lakewood Cozumel has good vibes and even better food! They have bottomless chips and salsa which I think is always a must at Mexican restaurants. I ordered chicken chimichangas. It came with 2 chimichangas, beans, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream and even guac! Paired it with a pineapple Jarrito and that definitely satisfied my craving. They did a good job of social distancing in the lobby and the dining areas. They even gave everyone a their own salsa bowls (double dip away!)However if you're still being covid cautious I'd avoid the bar since it's pretty small space. read more

I don't know where everybody is getting.M that this is the best Mexican restaurant in Lakewood. This is the worst Mexican food I've ever ever eaten in my life. There was no seasoning whatsoever on anything. The presentation was great! BUT Everything was bland and had no flavor at all. Our food had absolutely no seasoning on it. I may as well have eaten chicken out of the can. The atmosphere is great and the staff is great, but the food was terrible. read more

Even during the middle of a pandemic, Cozumel can make you feel like you're on another island. I have been doing a lot of home cooking and indeed some Mexican dishes, but nothing I made could compare to those nostalgic flavors of one of your favorite authentic Mexican spots. They have two locations so be sure you call the right one - silly me placed an order with Independence and I arrived in Lakewood. Still, they were able to recreate my order in about 10 minutes and I called Independence very apologetically. Rookie mistake! Check your digits! As any normal person being deprived of tasty treats, I went a little nuts and ordered queso and guac, which typically I'd choose one or the other. I'm so happy I got them both, though my thighs might not be, tehehe. Anyways, they've got that creamy silky white queso that runs down the grooves of your chip like Niagara Falls, splashing all over your lips and probably down the front of your shirt, if you're anything like me. The guac was just chunky enough while still nice and smooth, powerful samples of jalapeno and onion with oh so fresh avocado. Hints of saltiness lingered after each crunchy bite! I'm feeling quite romantic about these dips, I must say. I ordered a couple enchiladas and a ground beef hard taco because I am obsessed with their melty gooey cheese and red sauce, plus their crumbly white cheese atop the taco. My boyfriend loves their Burrito El Diablo - it's so super spicy after a few bites - but that flavor is just POW. Right in the kisser! They pour a little queso on top of the burrito and serve with spicy pinto beans with crumbles of bacon. Naturally a soft and fluffy rice is served alongside. This thing is so good that night but sometimes even better heated up the following day. One time I took the chicken out of it and put it into an omelette... FIRE!!! Literally. ;) Show this local biz some love during this crazy time! Per Governor DeWine, To-Go Margs are all the rage! They are ready for your drinking pleasure with lots of yummy fruity flavors! read more

Highly recommended. My go to are the tacos Al pastor and the house made hot sauces. Habanero is my favorite. read more

Cozumel - Tacos Al Pastor. House made hot salsa - Mexican Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

They are exactly what you think they are. A good solid mexi-spot that serves up the chips and salsa while you wait for that too hot to touch plate that you touch anyways. I dig their Queso con Pollo. Add the hot sauce and some salsa and go to town. Always have to take leftovers home cause I tee off on the chips and salsa. My number 2 dish is Mole. I love that everything but the kitchen sink attitude in a sauce. It balances out each and every ingredients characteristics and forms it into a cohesive chocolatey brown slightly spicy dish. Need some Mexican food that fills ya up and doesn't gouge the wallet? Well here you are. read more

We stopped in for dinner on Friday night. It was our first time there. We were seated immediately. The waiter was right over to take our drink order. We asked him to come back. They had a pretty good size drink menu. We did not order an appetizer cause you know when you get Mexican you are getting a giant platter of food. We order our dinner and it came out quickly. The food was piping hot and delicious. At this time there was not a patio but maybe in time that will change. We will go back again! read more
