If you don't like walking with anything on your hands you will come in here and get chilled water bottles. They are convenient stores. When I came here I wanted to try the Mexicans snacks. There was a few I really liked but didn't have the taste for them Finally I just purchased ice cold water, a coke, and a bag of doritos. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. Mexican doritos is bomb! I'm not going to lie about eating them every day. Once I got the taste for them, that's what I ate every day. So good. Not good you can get them on Amazon. Anywho all the OxxO are necessary. They have your chips, candies, sodas, cookies, crackers. Nachos cheese station, hot dogs from off the rotating grill and friendly staff.

They also have packaged chicharonnes as well as slushie and coffee It is so convenient for me to come here for a can of coke and a bag of Mexican Doritos As long as it's made in Mexico, it's great! Tastes cleaner with less of the gunk. Will go back when in Mexico

They are $1.50 US each! A head's up is that you have to order and pay first and then present your receipt to the woman working behind the counter where the food is. The store is always busy, but there is never a wait. They add cashiers as needed. Their expanded liquor section includes even "Boones" (minus the "Farm")! I didn't know it was still made! Great selection of most liquor, but not inexpensive. I bought a bottle of Patron silver at duty free arriving for $28. Here the same bottle was $47. It would still be cheaper than buying at a hotel. If you are looking to save money on snacks and drinks, this is it!

We only found one stall at the far end in the back that had What appeared to be home made friendship, bracelets. At about a dollar apiece, we knew that this might be our only hope of getting something made in Mexico by local. Overall, be prepared to be solicited and politely barked at to come and see their unique offerings. In reality, nothing really unique in this shop complex. It looks cool, but I'd say it's a hard pass for me next time if I'm find myself in Cancun. The Uber ride from the Presidente intercontinental hotel Cancun to this shop complex was approximately $10. We felt bad that tourism and shopping has been down so we did make a couple of small purchases and politely entered and quickly exited each stall when we realize they're all selling the same thing and we believed there might be just one owner for multiple shops.

Chedraui grocery stores are almost like Walmart Supercenters in the US. This location is 2 stories,…read morewith mostly groceries & toiletries on level 1 and clothing, housewares, sporting goods, etc. on level 2. Everything for men at this location is way better than what they offer for women, such as clothing and toiletries. For example, they only had one type of women's shaving gel available vs a whole aisle of just different types of men's shaving gels. This Chedraui gets very busy since it's right on the main road in Cancun Centro, so have patience. It will probably take a while to check out as there weren't that many checkout lines. I did like how there was just a lane for shoppers needing special assistance (pregnant, disabled, elderly). Everyone anytime who needed special assistance joined the line, the cashier would call them to the front of the line.

Is it weird that one of my favorite parts of going on vacation in foreign countries is exploring…read moretheir grocery stores? Chedraui was definitely the best grocery store on the island as far as selection. Eggs are cheaper than in USA and so delicious. My kids loved the pastry section-- so fresh each morning. Tip: you pick up a large metal platter, use the tongs to select your pastries, and take them to the register at the back to be packaged and priced. Note that you need to bring your own grocery bags and cannot carry in a backpack. If you do you have to leave it at the customer service counter. Chedraui also has anything you may have forgotten for the beach -- hats, sunglasses, sunscreen. Centrally located on the island. We often walked there and then took a cab back with our groceries.

If you are from the US or Canada, there will definitely be some comforts of home that you will need to substitute or do without. Also, there are other things that you may be used to buying that they simply do not have. For example, milk is not available in 1 gallon containers. Coffee creamer is hit or miss. We used cooking cream that was vanilla flavored. They do seem to always have hazelnut creamer if you can live with that instead. Grocery stores in Mexico also have a full selection of liquor. The tequila selection here is greater than what I have seen in a liquor store in the US. This grocery store is also the local appliance center, home goods, and moped dealer but I doubt if you are buying any of that stuff while you are here for your extended stay. They do take credit cards and do not charge you a conversion fee upfront. If you have an elderly person bagging groceries with the checkout person, please tip them. They are not employed and your tip is their wage. Bottom line - This is the largest and best grocery store on Isla Mujeres. It is our go-to location for almost anything we need for our extended stays.

Good selection of fruits and vegetables - we love the guavas, mangos, and carrots the most! They taste so fresh and more flavorful than what we get in the US. Decent selection of meat, dairy, snacks, cereal, etc too! They have a bakery (with fresh tortillas), pharmacy, a touristy area (bathing suits, shirts, souvenirs, etc), and an area that has prepped food items. They also have a decent alcohol/beer area. Prices are way better than what they charge at the hotel (though you're likely paying for convenience there). Highly recommend this treat to pick up items! This is on the top floor of a shopping mall, though the mall itself has few store these days.

It's located in a shopping mall that seems to be having some occupancy issues, but has an absolutely beautiful atrium, with a decorated dome, fountains- It's amazing! The shopping is a bit rough- it's not exactly the cheapest place to shop in Mexico. It's not the most expensive- that honor seems to belong to the other grocery up the road a mile or two and the Cancun Pointe. The aisles are a bit jammed together, and they certainly cater to the gringo tourista. They have new swimsuits, hats, sunglasses, plenty of cerveza, tequila, mixers, and food. A bakery section offers pan dulces and a variety of things to make sandwiches with. There's a bunch of bottled water, and everything you need to feel at home. I kinda don't care for how they seem to organize this place- whatever they're doing, I haven't figured it out yet. The prices were okay, the selection okay. Okay!

This place is more than just a house of tequilas. It is quite large inside with many kinds of liquors, beverages, snacks, souvenirs, clothing, and lots of drug store items. Pretty much a little bit of everything that you would find in a convenience store. We had fun shopping here because they had so much to check out. It was of course, similar to other touristy shops along the busy streets of the zone, but at least we weren't bothered by employees following us around to get us to buy something! This made me much more interested in making purchases here than elsewhere!

Sadly it'd probably be a terms of service violation if I were to post them here, but use some colorful imagery to paint the rest of the picture. You can use a credit card or US dollars here as well.
