Pear prosecco bites with walnuts, blue cheese, crumbles, a balsamic reduction glaze, spinach, mango trimmings
Lori C.

I sat at the bar tonight and was served by the bartender Frederic. I had the potato leek soup and the pear Prosecco bites which included spinach, walnuts, blue cheese, all covered in a delicious balsamic reduction sauce. Frederic made me a lovely chocolate espresso martini and packaged up Key lime pie for me to take back to my hotel room. I think what is magical about this restaurant is the atmosphere of family and joy that you feel when you are there. It's also the independent and combined flavors of fresh food that makes your mouth happy. They have a great menu to explore - be adventurous and try something different if you go before I return!

Pasta pomodero

This place has the most amazing staff. The food is out of this world. We ordered a tortilla soup and a Bolognese vegetarian pasta. Plus I had the hibiscus tea without sugar. It was amazing. We had the best waitress ever. I can't recall her name, but don't hesitate for a second to try this gem of a restaurant out please. They are good people that serve amazing food.

Live music here some nights
Andrew P.

GREAT LIVE MUSIC EVERY NIGHT: One of the best dinner time music venues in Isla Mujeres. They have different performers each night. Out of the various music Venus restaurants in Isla Mujeres, this place is recommended by the locals. The food here isn't cheap but the kitchen talent here is legit.

We stopped in because they had a great selection of local craft beer at the bar. The bartender was great! We watched him make a few craft cocktails and the presentations were beautiful. He was very clean and detail oriented. Although we did not eat, the food looked amazing! We may return tomorrow to try the food.

Barracuda ceviche
Peter P.

What an wonderful restaurant! The staff are awesome and the food is amazing! We had brought some freshly caught fish and they were able to transform them into the most delicious variety of plates. The micheladas and margaritas really hit the spot as well! There are also several very cool local art on the walls that you can purchase

Top notch service gets the additional star; a nice meal on the island overall with an art gallery inside and live music. The octopus appetizer was yummy but small; the shrimp dish was the clear winner.

Peacado alla Veracruzana. Delicious sauce.

On vacation with my wife and her best friend. It's all of our birthdays. The friend had picked a different place for her bday dinner, but they were closed. She had Mahache as a backup. I'm glad we ended up here. Everything was so good. The food, the drinks, the service. There was even a live musician playing bossa nova tunes. 100% lovely and delicious. You should go here.

Get the octopus main course but ask for limes! Thank me later.

**First thing first** They accept credit card for checks over 400 pesos. If you're tired of classic American Mexican food (tacos, burritos, quesadillas, etc), and are in search of a culinarily fun menu with affordable prices, this gem is FOR YOU. I had the grilled octopus entree for just under 300 pesos. 6 perfectly charred and tender pieces of tentacles (the good stuff), with a pepper sauce but it's not spicy, side of steam veggies and crispy potato strings. Pro tips: ASK FOR LIMES and squeeze all over this bad boy. It made all the flavours explode! Wow. Not sure why they don't cook it with lime juice to begin with. Chatted with a girl who had the quinoa soup and a fresh cucumber water drink. They both seem to be tasty, especially the cucumber one. Service was great. Mario the manager came by to check on me- he made my to-go hot chocolate earlier in the afternoon himself! At dinner it came with hummus with bread; don't mind it though, definitely needs more garlic and lemon juice. I find it a recurring theme that restaurants on Isla Mujeres under season their dishes. Anyone else with me??

This place is delicious ! The modern Mexican flavors are amazing. It's also an amazing mood.

Octopus
Bobbe S.

Started with the tuna tower... amazing... then octopus.... Double amazing! Cooked to perfection and paired well with the red wine. Both dishes recommended by the server. Excellent service and her recommendations spot on. The artist shop has unique artwork, jewelry and clothes. The ambiance was perfect with jazzy blues band playing live. So good tempted to eat dinner again there tomorrow!

This was by far the best meal we had on Isla. Service was top notch and they had someone playing live sax. We had the coconut shrimp, pulpits de guajillo, camarones ajailo and the vegan burrito. Nothing disappointed.

The food here was so delicious and authentic. I loved the mango salad. Drinks were good too.

Ambiance is so cosy, food is amazing! Loved that place! Service is perfecto, too! Deffo we will come back

Wonderful restaurant. 5 stars left by other reviewers is well deserved.

I dined here on Valentines day last month with my granddaughter and her partner. It was packed but…read morewe managed to get a table right away. The hostess was nice and got us in the door. She was walking us a little towards the back, but since it was my first time to Isla, I wanted to people-watch, so I asked about a table up front. As soon as we headed over, I saw why she passed it - it was right next to the saxophone player! Thank goodness his volume level was perfect! Just loud enough to be heard over the crowds walking down the 'lane' out front and the restaurant diners' chatting. But not so loud that we 3 couldn't chat. We loved it! Now these two can EAT - and love to try everything on the menu, whereas I tend to eat smaller portions. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were fantastic - huge pieces of shrimp, so good! The lobster mac n cheese is so good, I would have loved to bring a big container of it home with me! The restaurant is very busy but very clean and tables are well organized for maneuvering a quick trip to the restroom before leaving. Our server, Maylen was attentive and pleasant. The bar area, facing the street, looked like a lot of fun, I'll have to try it next time!

There was a saxophone player while I was there. I tried the chicken tacos. They were good. There…read morewas a table with a birthday there and the staff brought a dessert with a sparkler on it. And the saxophone player walked up to them played for them. That looked pretty nice. We sat next to the bar and there were some obnoxious gringos at the bar while we were there... which is common on the north side of the island.

Traveling to Isla Mujeres in early February 2026, we wanted to try Rosa Sirena's for dinner based…read moreon the many good reviews we had read. A reservation was easy to obtain via email and we were all set for a sunset, evening meal. We were warmly welcomed and promptly seated. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere pleasant with an acoustic duo playing mellow tunes in the background. Honestly, we were a little disappointed with the view that most reviews rave about. Our sever was knowledgeable and made several suggestions. We selected the Pepita Crusted Tuna for a starter, my companion had the fresh catch which was grouper, blackened with a side of the peanut sauce. I chose the Surf and Turf. For dessert, we shared the Key Lime Pie. Everything was beautifully presented, and quite artistic. The tuna appetizer was very good, but the main courses were frankly a disappointment. The creativity of the plate did not make up for the lackluster food. The steak was tough and poorly seasoned, the lobster was just passable but also chewy and not tender. The fish was not as well cooked as other restaurants downtown and again the seasoning was lackluster. The sides, lentils and mashed potatoes were just ok. The homemade Key Lime Pie was enjoyable but again seemed to lack a depth of flavor. If the food could match the service, presentation, and atmosphere then perhaps this could be one of Isla's better dining establishments, until then "the juice was not worth the squeeze."

So this was my first time coming here. I was invited for a friend's birthday and he is a regular…read morehere. What a treat. It's on a nice quiet street with plenty of parking. If not, there's a lot around the corner too. You walk all the way up to the third floor we were lucky enough to get the best seat in the house that sits around 10 or 12 people, and it faces the Caribbean sunset, we arrived and we were greeted by the owner who said that she had decided to keep the band here just for our group to stay late. The music literally pulled us out of our conversations and God is dancing out loud and in our seats at multiple times. It was a lot of fun. You can tell this is a place where people come to celebrate because there were three birthdays all within an hour of our seating, including our, we ordered and got three delicious appetizers the tuna carpaccio, the tuna tartare, and the steak tartare. They were all fabulous and equally delicious party in your mouth separately. The extra appetizer dish with actually gifted by the owners to our guest of honor as the birthday boy. Which was absolutely outstanding. It was done with class. The octopus was grilled perfectly and the sauces they used in that multi dish appetizer was just outstanding We then had all of our dinners and I had the gourd of seafood soup. It was delicious & it was filled with shrimp, calamari, and octopus. It was so much I couldn't finish it. They then came out with this huge piece of chocolate cake and about nine spoons and we shared it saying happy birthday and embarrass the daylights out of our birthday boy king. Overall, we had a fabulous time and I wouldn't hesitate to celebrate another birthday here. The owner was literally involved all night. I believe her name is Wendy with every step and checked in on us multiple times. I really felt like I was eating at her house. Any restaurant that can accomplish that is a shining star amongst the island. Keep shining Rosa Sirena. We love you. You truly give Justice to your name on the island.
