I was walking around with my significant other and we were suddenly hungry. This seemed like the spot that would treat us right. Upon entering, it was impressive with a tropical feel. We were immediately seated at a table. I looked at the menu to see what was offered. From the Bebidas / Drinks section, I ordered a Margarita. In Pesos, it was 154. In USD, it was 7. From the Especialidades / Specialties section, I went with the Camarón Mission. In Pesos, it was 440. It was Mission Shrimp. In USD, it was 20. From the Lunch section, we ordered Tacos (Pollo, Res o Pescado). In Pesos, it was 220 and we chose Res. It was Tacos (Chicken, Beef or Fish). In USD, it was 10 and we chose Beef. We were given free chips and salsa. They were excellent. The salt and pepper at the table each amplified the flavor. We were given a free refill on them that was just as excellent the same way. The Margarita had a zing to it. It was flavorful and went down easy. I enjoyed it. The Camarón Mission wasn't too good. Everything on the plate wasn't impressive. On the menu, it stated that If You Don't Like It, You Don't Pay It. I wasn't charged for it, so I definitely respected that concept. The Tacos came with a quantity of three. They were excellent and so was everything else on the plate. I wanted to try one more item, since my meal didn't work out. From the Entradas section, I ordered a Guacamole. In Pesos, it was 66. In the Entrees section, it was Guacamole. In USD, it was 3. The Guacamole came out fast and it was an excellent size for the price. It was certainly enjoyable. The Tip's For Music group was decent. I thought it was weird that I was approached at my table by one of the members for a tip, though. The service was great throughout my visit. I didn't have any issues. Overall, this was an awesome spot to stop at. If I'm in the area again, I might explore the menu more. Date of visit: 16/10/2024

Shrimp tacos

Very touristy but they have good food. We came here because of recommendations from our front desk. I got the shrimp tacos which were very fresh and husband got the fish steak - both so fresh! Service was good.

When you visit Mexico, you have to have Mexican food! Trust me, it doesn't taste the same everywhere else! What makes things taste even more amazing? I'm thinking it's the limeade! For real for real! I ordered limeade all around and it was amazing!!! Just like it always does! This is my 4th time visiting and I always order a limeade and of course, still amazing! The ceviche was my favorite dish!!! Probably because of the limeade but it made me extra happy! My tacos were pretty cool too! Everyone ordered their food and loved it! Service was excellent, food arrived in a timely manner and the ambiance was just so cool too! They played live music, treated us to some appetizers and the food was hot and ready! Nice spot to visit, next to the port in downtown Cozumel, definitely need to stop by again!

Taxi driver was going to take us to Palmeras, but we chose this place instead. Enjoyed the ambience with the exception of the flies. Shaded with lots of fans blowing to keep it pleasant. Started with an order of fresh guacamole and tostadas. which was tasty and plentiful. Ordered a fried fish (off menu) which was good. The shrimp cocktail had sauce made with a bland pico de gallo with a dollop of ketchup on top. It was mediocre. Service was okay. Place was empty. I thought it was a tad overpriced. Pay in pesos. Their exchange rate is only 16:1 if you pay in dollars.

Complimentary chips and pico de gallo

My friend was still craving for lobster since the one we had prior wasn't that good. After a bit of walking around, we decided to try the seafood at La Mission. We started with the fresada and pinada drinks, which were very refreshing. We also shared the lobster dish and a ceviche from the conch shell. The lobster was pretty good- way better and more fresh than the last restaurant we went to. I also enjoyed the ceviche- it reminded me of the kind we got in the Bahamas. It's really different and unique. Service was a bit slow though. It took a while to get food, etc.

Loved the indoor/outdoor feel which is common here.

So our taxi driver recommended this spot, and I was way more impressed than I expected to be! I took a long time looking at the menu, trying to find the perfect thing, and nothing was really jumping out at me. Yes, I'm in Cozumel, but no, I don't go out for Mexican food often. It always leads to getting full on complementary chips and salsa and giant margaritas. Finally I just decided to go with the chicken burrito, and it was the best one I've ever had in my life! True to form, I ate half and was stuffed, and was made about it because it was perfect! I mean, it was absolutely amazing so I made Eric try it too, to see if I was crazy. He agreed, it was delicious! He enjoyed his meal too, and we were stuffed and tipsy and happy by the end! We have nothing to complain about here, and I'm so glad we stopped in for lunch on one of the last days of our trip! We also checked out the tequila and did a tasting in the back after lunch! That was fun, too, and it just added to the amazing experience! Let me tell ya, I had a burrito on my layover at the DTW airport today from some chain and it was not even a little bit close to the burrito I had here. No comparison, AT ALL! This was fantastic and I'd go back!

Huge Coconut Shrimp what a surprise.

Thoroughly enjoyed LaMission. I had garlic shrimp which was not overly garliced and my wife had Coconut Shrimp. I've given four stars because of the Coconut Shrimp, they were huge. They were coated in real Coconut and served in an actual Coconut with a yogurt sauce. You can tell how fantastic they were by her surprised expression. The restaurant is open air and is a great place to just sit and relax, nice ambiance. It is located right off the Main Street along the waterfront. I didn't give a fifth star because the salsa was mediocre, just a pico, the chips were a little hard, not fresh, and they had a couple guys playing the marimba and it was excessively loud. Don't sit next to the marimba!! When we are in Cozumel we will definitely go here again.

When we first walked in (8 of us) some did t want to stay because it was smoking from cooking. But we ended up staying. So glad we did. The chips, pico and guacamole that they served was the best. The Picco de Gallo was hot spicy. But it was so good. I order margaritas at our local restaurant that are good BUT this margarita was amazing. Not sure how I'm going to drink the local one again. I ordered the Mexican chicken. Sounded good and it was. Still wishing I would have ordered another margarita before we left. The staff was friendly and helpful.

La Mission was great; try it if you ever come to Cozumel. The food was excellent, and authentic margaritas only one got me drunk. The servers and atmosphere were immaculate. Every time I come to this port, I always have a good time.

Ready for some lunch!

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.
