Honestly nothing to write home about. No mexican twist or fusion. If you're just craving a lobster roll, it's not bad. It's pricey. I saw the high yelp ratings and was excited for something other than tacos and wish I got more tacos read more

I liked this meal a lot! It was tasty and incredibly filling. The restaurant has a couple of options to choose how you'd like your protein served, but I picked the bowl (I just wasn't in the mood for a sandwich). The prices are a bit higher than a lot of other local places in Cancun, but the flavor is excellent and the portions are very generous. I had the lobster and it was really buttery, but really good. The richness of the buttery flavor paired really nicely with rice. The food came out quickly and hot! The only thing is that the store front is a little small, so if you're going with a large group, some folks may have to sit outdoors! If you're visiting Cancun and don't speak Spanish, don't worry! They speak English at this restaurant. read more

Lobster roll - Different from those in Boston. The roll is not bad but not as buttery, the lobster is salty but not much lobster flavor. You definitely smell the grilling of the lobster shell but the meat doesn't have any grill mark. Add the sauce it'll taste better just not lobster flavor Steak and bacon roll - the steak and bacon was very delicious. Again the sauce help. Watch out for the spicy sauce, I think the Coconut margarita - Really tasty. I'm not a big alcohol/cocktail drinker but I did appreciate the taste. read more

It's a small shop located on a side street off the main road in downtown Cozumel. For $16, the lobster roll came in a soft brioche roll which was delicious. It also came with some chips and a small coleslaw. The lobster meats tasted fresh. The sandwich wasn't overflowing with meats or ingredients. It's a fair value but not super impressive. Service was excellent . The ambiance was casual. After having the lobster roll at a few other places, I have to say the best one I had to date was at a stand outside of Fisherman's Warf in San Francisco. If you have to have lobster roll, then this place will do. If you can wait, I would wait. read more

The lobster rolls are fresh and succulent, a taste diversion that sets this eatery apart from the rest of Cozumel's restaurants.

This is an island MUST! Every time we're in Cozumel we come here. Where else can you get a lobster roll for $12?! The owner is super nice! The service is outstanding, and the price is unmet. We've tried everything on the menu and it's great! The lobster roll and bowls are my personal faves however. Very filling! Cash only. You can sit inside and watch the chef work or outside and enjoy the sea breeze. read more

When you are in Cozumel, you HAVE to check out the Lobster Shack. It is sooooo good. I seriously wanted to eat here every day, and I kinda wish I had. It's super casual and reasonably priced. Daniel was sooo friendly and gave us some great tips on restaurants to check out while we were staying in Cozumel. Most importantly, the food and drinks are delicious. They prepare all the food on a small griddle right in front of you. The lobster roll is chock full of lobster meat, which is served warm. I insist that you try the coconut margarita. I don't really know how to describe it other than "out of this world". read more

Small place, conveniently located downtown off of the Melgar. We've eaten here a few times over the past several years. The food is very good. We really enjoy their chipotle and habanero sauces and I highly recommend trying their coconut margarita. Service is always quick and friendly. Yesterday I had the shrimp and lobster bowl and my husband had the surf and turf burrito. We both agreed each could've had more lobster. My bowl was primarily shrimp, and my husband's burrito was primarily steak. For the prices, they could throw in a bit more lobster. read more

Make sure you don't miss this precious gem on a side street off the main drag through San Miguel. It's tiny, with only a few tables (they do a lot of take out). We had the Lobster and Bacon Rolls which were divine. I wouldn't call it cheap food (lobster is not cheap in Cozumel), but our delicious lunch was well worth the $14 each price tag. Not only was there an abundance of lobster and bacon, but also a bit of avocado and lettuce. Divine! read more

I probably should not be rating this place because I am not seafood lover. But with so much hype on Yelp I had to give it a shot. Real small little place just the way I like them and super easy to find. We were the only ones in there. Menu is easy to read and the staff is super friendly. They make the food right there in front of you on a flat top grill. I opted for the double lobster roll($19 USD) and my wife got the surf and turf roll($16 USD). Lobster tasted fine, like I stated earlier I don't enjoy seafood that much, and the rolls were fresh and buttery. I would not get the double roll if I was to return. Just way to much bread. There was 4 of us eating and our bill $75 USD. That was the most expensive meal I have eaten down here and we have been to many places. I would not return but someone who loves lobster might go daily. I'm glad I was able to have the opportunity to eat there once. read more

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.

Honestly one of the nastiest things I've ever been served at a restaurant. My boyfriend ordered the tortilla soup and it came out cold. The other "courses" were minimal: about three bites of pineapple icee, plus a few pear slices with candied nuts and goat cheese (that part was fine, but nowhere near enough to feel like a real meal). We had one drink, one bottle of water, and with tip the total was around $100. For that price, this was a complete waste of money. 0/10 recommend--very disappointing and we won't be back.

Added bonus they have mariachi s that play for a few bucks tip that have also been there for 30 years. They also have added several big tables in the garden and they take reservations, and wow the drinks are great ! I am very picky about my margaritas being from texas and they are wonderful here and strong ! If you're going to Cozumel this is a must !

Beautiful garden scenery as you walk up to the entrance of the restaurant which we were told its an actual home. The food was good and the service was good especially with a large party of 12 to accommodate. The Coconut Shrimp were large and cooked well. Served with a coconut dipping sauce. Mexican Coke for the win!! On the day we were there a Mariachi band was playing and even taking request

Terrific food, intimate vibes, just a couple of blocks off the main touristy beach road. It's not a…read morelarge restaurant, maybe 5-7 tables total, along with some outdoor seating if weather allows. That said, they weren't that busy when we arrived, and we were immediately seated. They have a couple of great regional Yucatan dishes here, like the Molcajete and the Cochinita. San Miguel de Cozumel is admittedly not the most beautiful or interesting Mexican city to do touristy stuff in, so it was a treat to find some great regional cuisine to try. I was with a group, so we ordered the Molcajete (basically, mixed grilled meats in a stew), ceviche, and cochinita (stewed pulled pork), along with tortillas. All of it was great. The sauces, from the salsa to the stew broths to the ceviche sauce, were all terrific. There was mention that they dishes were spicy, but in the end, none of the stuff was super-spicy. Furthermore, the spicy stuff was often a salsa served on the side, or a whole roasted pepper that wasn't integrated into the dish, so you could calibrate your spiciness to your taste. Bathrooms: Basic, but clean and functional.

We were here for dinner on a Christmas Eve, when we walked in at 6:45pm, not much guest. But later,…read morethe place is fully filled up. We get to sit outside on the street, with scooters cars even dump trucks drives pass our table. Interesting experience. Food is good, service is prompt, the bone marrow thing is interesting, first time i tried in this way, in a taco, also grilled. I had their fish, and others had their BBQ plate for two and two ordered holier pork shank. All good! Price is reasonable.

I had the chipotle beef burrito which had just enough heat for me. My husband had the chipotle chicken which has the perfect sear. His margarita was average though. The young waitress said they specialize in shrimp burritos so if we ever come back I'd try it.

Love this place. Family business. Great customer service. Burritos are the best. Down side is…read morecost. Will still get these burritos but my small was $10 and my wife's King Burrito was about $20. That's more expensive than in the states! Great burritos though. Just be aware of the price.
