    Shrimp platter
    Daniel G.

    This place was very very nice, friendly and the food was made to order. I was on a cruise and was visibg from Texas and the food was very very delicious. The drinks were great as well. The food did take a bit long for them not being busy BUT it was worth the wait

    The food was good and the service was awesome! We ended up here after The Amazing Race. I have to mention we came in second. :)

    Perfect stop to the end of the day food. Was fast an cooked to a near perfection, not to far from the ferry,but still little walk open area was great, they had big fans inside if you was a little hit there was 11 of us an still made no difference in the wait time for our food granted it was close to 8pm when we stopped in. Great experience though even thou of the late time

    They serve breakfast now!! There's a huge breakfast available in a combo. The eggs with spinach were fantastic! The combo had black beans and pancakes and also chilaquiles. WAY too much food for one person, (unless you are a sumo wrestler). We were lucky enough to be here when the owners were here as well. People from H-Town!! That's some real home slice right there! They were the sweetest folks you could ever meet. They can give you so many details and helpful info about the island. This is a very pleasant, open air restaraunt with VERY CLEAN restrooms. They have a full bar and a nice little play place for the kids. And by the way, there are mosquitoes all over the island, not just at this restaurant. Carry your own bug spray.

    Great view, chill place, loud music however. But fun service because its past the strip less traffic noise just open air restaurant. Complementary seviche and tortilla chips (totopos). We had mixed sea food cocktails, they were very heavy on the ketchup, but i just poured some of my beer into them and squeezed some lemon and i was good to go!

    Terrible food. Tacos were bland and the chips and pico were a joke. Bill came and we were over charged by 40 percent

    Horrible and rude service. Even worse food. This is the worst place I've been to in Mexico. DO NOT come here. Very disappointed.

    My friend & I stumbled upon this charming family-run restaurant in December 2025 & it was our…read morefavorite dining experience of the whole trip. Don't be fooled by the modest appearance, the food is top notch! It is a casual environment with tables in the back in an open air but covered courtyard. You will not find fresher seafood or more authentic dishes anywhere on the island. Diego, the chef-owner, and the rest of his team were so kind & welcoming. It was like eating at my favorite uncle's house. I am an avid and enthusiastic eater - fish tacos & ceviche are two of my all-time favorite foods and these are the absolute best I have ever had. Incredibly fresh, full of flavor, & generous portions at very reasonable prices. The guacamole was also very tasty. I look forward to returning during all my future visits to Cozumel.

    Good food but kinda high prices…read more One of the people I was traveling with really wanted some fresh seafood and specifically ceviche. We found this place on Yelp and went to check it out. The place looks like a seafood market from the front but you enter to the back and there is a whole outdoor dining area with plenty of chairs and tables. It can get really warm on hot days but they have a bunch of big fans. We weren't super hungry so we shared a large guacamole and a large seafood ceviche grande. The guac was really sour/lemony but in a good way. I enjoyed it. The seafood ceviche had all sorts of seafood, including fish, shrimp, octopus and other goodies. The seafood in it tasted fresh and was delicious. The order was big enough for 3 people to share. We ended up paying about $80 which I thought was rather pricey for just some guac and ceviche to share. The ambience was super casual and nothing fancy. The service was cool. It is good seafood but just know it's on the pricier end.
