    Very good chips and hot sauce.  Hot sauce about a 6 on the heat meter today.
    Randy D.

    My first time at the restaurant, was steered here by Yelp reviews and a conversation I had with someone at another restaurant. Located on "restaurant row" so there is seating along the street, grab a table on the street, and enjoy the sights as people walk by. Chips and hot sauce were served shortly after I sat down. Chips were very good, hot sauce even better (about 6 on the heat meter, not even close to the "reminder" end of the scale). Didn't order guacamole, but some was brought out. Had no problem finishing it off as it was very good. The exact dish I wanted was not listed on the menu, so I asked the waiter for exactly what I wanted. He did not hesitate, just told me, no problem. Camarones ala plancha con ajo y mantequilla, it is! The shrimp turned out almost perfect, have to give the dish a 9+. A bit more char/grill marks on the shrimp, would've been a 10. Towards the end of the meal the waiter came by to ask how my meal was, at that point I found out, he is the owner, Dopi. Very nice guy! Look forward to going back to try the beef they are known for. The shrimp dish was roughly $11.50 US, which included everything that came before the meal. Great experience, would recommend to anyone.

    Visiting Isla Mujeres for vacation and decided to come here based on good TripAdvisor reviews. DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT! Raul was our server and he exceeded every expectation one would have when going out to eat. He was extremely attentive and very accommodating. He was very knowledgeable about the menu when it came to the ingredients in the food and drinks as well as how everything was prepared. Our server Raul was also VERY proud of the menu. And rightly so. The food was INCREDIBLE! Every dish we ordered came out timely, fresh, hot, and delicious! Would recomend this place to anyone and everyone visiting the island!

    Went twice in 1 day food was so good! Everything we had was amazing. Shrimp, lobster, and filet quesadillas were all amazing. Snapper tacos great as well!! Grass fed filet was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend.

    This place is incredible if you're visiting the island. We had my girlfriends parents anniversary dinner here and it was amazing. Raul and Dopi tended to us personally. The seafood was incredible. Personally I had the paella and a lobster quesadilla. Other dishes our party ate were the steaks which were hands down some of the best steaks we've ever had. Dopi's family are 4th generation beef farmers and everything is organic and sure to leave you drooling for more. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

    Lobster tacos and margaritas! Can't go wrong!!! 180 pesos. Great service. Funny bathroom though, pee somewhere else.

    This was the best meal we had on the island. The steak was unbelievably tender and was one of the best ones I had ever had. Dopi was a gracious host that sat down and told us about his family's ranch where all the cattle is grown. The jalapeño cream sauce for the shrimp was to die for. This restaurant is going into the permanent Isla Mujeres rotation.

    Outside of the restaurant!

    Great food and even better service. The owner was our server and treated us very well. He even let us try his new flavors of margaritas that were not even on the menu for free! We had the steak burritos, steak quesadilla, margaritas, and red snapper veracruz fish. ;) Enjoy!

    Seafood platter.

    Great service and food! If you're looking for a variety of food that's really good with awesome service come here! Waiter Luis was the best we have ever had serve us! Can't say enough good things about this place. Great location as well.

    Red Snapper a la Veracruzana

    The seafood is so delicious, the drinks are cold, the limes are the best everrrrrand the restaurant is decorated great! The only reason this is 4 instead of 5 stars is because the service was very slow but once our waiter came along he was so nice and very attentive afterwards.

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.

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!
