    Ernesto's is such a wonderful place. The food is delicious!!! Best breakfast we had on the island. Ranchero sauce muy bueno! Had lunch too. Quesadillas and guacamole excellent. The view is unparalleled and the staff is attentive and quick. Highly recommend!

    Friendly staff. Fantastic food. Loved the guacamole, shrimp fajitas, Pico de gallo and the super soft flour tortillas. Yummy.small venue and easy to walk from the port. Great place come too after you scuba dive as the dive shop is next

    Beautiful view of the water, and very convenient to international pier. Seating is outdoors, but covered and with fans to keep cool. Food was ready quickly and reasonable price. Great place to come for some fajitas, chips, guac, and salsa!

    CHICKEN AND SHRIMP FAJITAS. YUM!

    Love this place! Authentic. Reasonable and great food and drinks. Waterfront casual dining. Try the fajitas and margaritas. Chips and pico de Gallo is amazing and fresh!!! Huge frozen margaritas.

    We went to ruins and all the way around the south tip and snorkeled at Paradise and Money Bar! Money bar best fish!

    We reserved our 2 jeeps via email and they responded with Confirmation. I printed our conversation. My family walked to Ernesto's about 15 mins from carnival pier and a crowd was wanting Jeeps. I walked up to the counter showed my printed paper -he asked if my name was on his list-it was! He had 3 jeeps left and we got 2 of them. ***he is working only on Cozumel time making no allowance for Cruise ship time**** we were all late to our reserved times. Jeeps worked great! All as advertised! $60 each.

    We stopped here in a rainy day on our cruise to eat some lunch. The staff are so welcoming, the food and drinks fresh and authentic and delicious. Great location on the water with views of the cruise ships. Cannot wait to come back!

    7$ margaritas

    Free Wifi! If you are traveling by boat, exit the pier (make sure you have your sea pass card thing ) and take a left and walk. In less than 5 minutes, you will find the bar tucked in behind a scooter rental. Its old, it's grungy , then you walk out to the back patio where you can see your ship and gorgeous blue waters. Margaritas were a few bucks cheaper than the ship (~7$) and they take card. We didn't participate in the food because we had unlimited steak on a cruise ship and I was stuffed still. Margaritas were great and service was quick and they speak English well (I would get nowhere with my broken Spanish )

    If your in the mood for a good Hamburger and fries, you should eat here. The fajitas are good also, very tasty.

    Colores y Sabores - Tortilla Soup

    This is a must go to restaurant if youre a foodie porting from one of the cruiselines in cozumel…read more The restaurant is small with limited seating and will always be packed with customers, so best of luck getting a seat. However, if you do, youre in for the best food made with love and flavor! This is a true hidden gem in the busy overstimulating overselling port of punta langosta

    Joyful and friendly environment with outstanding food and drink. Regina has had her place her for 9…read moreyears, and she clearly knows what she's doing! After seeing the great reviews here, we schlepped a couple extra blocks (despite a bit of rain) to visit for lunch. Well worth it. We liked Colores y Sabores so much that we returned on another day. Equally fantastic. The Margaritas (I got Mango) are great. Don't ask for frozen mango margarita because, although they will do it, it lessens the flavor of the fresh mango. Tried it both ways, so I can say for sure, lol. The Beans are something you do not want to miss. Something special about them here. The guacamole and pico de Gallo and chips are the way you'd hope: fresh, crunchy, not greasy and just enough pop. Enchiladas are fantastic - and there are three options for how you can get it. The Mole is outstanding - a little smoky, tons of rich flavor. I rarely order fajitas - but I wanted to go simple one day. Perfect. Tender chicken, and caramelized onions and peppers. Try corn or flour tortillas -- or both, like I did. Another day, I tried the tortilla soup and loved it. Soothing, simple, with strips of chicken and crunchy tortilla. We also got the chicken tacos, which were great. 3, with beans and guacamole on corn tortillas. Our fave, though, was the Chile Relleno. Heavenly. Ground beef stuffed inside and this dish was as satisfying and delicious as anything we encountered on the trip. The Carrot Cake! Definitely recommend that, too. Just sweet enough, and homemade.
