We really enjoyed Paprika. The food was delicious. Azaliea recommended the molé- and we absolutely loved it! My mother and my sister are celiac. The waitstaff was very knowledgeable of allergies and explained to us very clearly their process and ingredients. Certainly a go-to if you are celiac in our experience! They have lots of great options. The service was great too- thanks to Azaliea! read more

Me and my boyfriend came here to cook our fish we had caught earlier in the day. It was really good, however it was very expensive for us brining our own food. I think it was $40 a person which is pretty pricy for this area. The drinks are huge here! read more

I'm happy to report that my 2025 visit to Paprika was excellent. It was not so good in 2020. This year, we eaten at at Paprika 3 times over a 4 week period. Great food and great service. Probably more of a place for culinary foodies looking for a break from the ubiquitous tacos, tecate and tequila dinners. My FAVORITE guacamole on the Island. A little pricey for its location but definitely worth a stop. read more

Paprika delivered one of the best meals my fiancé and I had in Cozumel! I ordered a michelada as I'm wont to do, and he had a margarita. We ordered the fish burger, the fried octopus, and the mole enchiladas. Everything was well seasoned and so plentiful! The vibe was very lowkey and lovely. I highly recommend coming here. read more

We loved it so much, we came back the next night and ordered the same thing! We got the calamari to start which was so tender and perfectly fried with a delicious dipping sauce. Then we shared the fried octopus with onions and potatoes and the fried fish tacos which were both excellent in flavor and preparation. Highly recommend this spot and our server was SUPER nice and made both dinners really enjoyable for us. read more

They noticed we were foreigners and overcharged us since we were using US dollars. The food was average, nothing to really brag about but paying 110$ for maybe 50$ worth of food, felt scammed. Make sure you are using pesos. read more

During Carnival we were the only diners there and enjoyed the enchiladas mole, coconut shrimp, chile rellenos, and fish tacos. Good choices as everyone was happy with their choices. Service was good and as another reviewer reported the only problem was being along the noisy Main Street. There was a full bar and all went as hoped. read more

The red snapper and nachos were decent. My son ordered the chicken enchiladas by recommendation of of another patron. Upon tasting it, my son didn't like it. He said the sauce tasted like chocolate. He reported it to the waiter and the waiter offered him to make another selection - he did. Upon receiving the check, we were billed for the chicken enchiladas. I inquired and was told we were charged for it; because he ordered it. read more

This is just a short walk from Casa Del Mar and Grand Park. The food was amazing!!! I eat calamari everywhere and this BY FAR was the best! Then had the fish burger...dang it was tasty! Homemade tarter sauce, spot on. Service was wonderful. More people should try this hidden gem!! read more

Must stop!! I never leave reviews but I felt the need for this place. Started with guacamole, amazing! Shrimp quesadilla for me, so much flavor. My husband had the chicken fajitas and ate every bit. We are staying at Park Royal and are almost done with our trip, wish we would have tried this sooner! My parents come in 2 weeks and we told them they have to come here. Our waiter Carlos was very friendly and gave us the wifi password so we could stream the super bowl. Awesome place! read more

The food here is incredibly fresh and delicious, and the portions are generous. The whole staff seems to take great pride in the quality of what they serve. I was able to see into the kitchen from where I sat, and saw the staff briefly gather to admire a particularly fresh and succulent snapper that a chef was filleting. The ceviche was a perfect balance of all flavors, plus just the right acidity level. My cousin's burger was so big that she got a second meal from the leftovers. And our cocktails were divine; try the blackberry margarita or the marvelous coconut-y Pina Colada. Highly recommended! read more

Excellent food & service. The chicken nachos & fajitas were large enough for 4 people to share. Fresh ingredients, truly delicious & walking distance from the cruise terminal. read more

Love! If you're staying a Casa Del Mar, this place is right next to the hotel and a must visit. If you're not staying at Casa Del Mar, this place is still a must visit. My boyfriend and I came here twice during our stay and we honestly wish we had skipped some of the other places we went to and came here instead. Even though we only came here twice, we tried a lot of stuff. Ceviche Mixto The ceviche here is super fresh and cooked with the perfect amount of lime juice. It has fish, shrimp, octopus, onions, tomatoes, & cilantro. We ordered this both times we ate here. Arrachera with Cactus Yum! This was a lot of food. It came with chorizo as well. The steak was cooked to perfection and was super tender and juicy. The cactus sauce was really interesting and yummy as well. Tamarind Margarita This was the only thing I didn't really enjoy. It was way too sweet for me, but I also dislike sugar more than the average person (ie. I don't like 99% of desserts). I ordered it because I was expecting it to be more tart because of the tamarind. Ojo Rojo Ojo rojos are my favorite drink. I order it with Dos Equis. It's basically like a Bloody Mary, but instead of vodka, I mix it with beer. The ojo rojo mix they make here is great. Maya Salad Ordered this because we had eaten almost no veggies for like a week. Wasn't expecting too much from this, but it was so so good!! The pumpkin seeds, carrots and dressing were the best part. We got this with no meat because we ordered it as an appetizer, but next time I come back, I'd definitely order it with the chicken option and have it as a main entree. The guava dressing is to die for and I normally never add dressings to my salads. Not sure how "authentically Mayan" this salad was, but no joke, it was probably my second favorite thing out of all the things I ate in Cozumel. Mole Chicken SO FREAKIN GOOD! This was my favorite thing I had during my entire trip hands down. I tried mole at two other restaurants, but this one absolutely won out. We ordered too much food and I was already feeling stuffed by the time this entree came out, but the sauce was so good, I ate everything. And I mean everything. All the meat off the chicken, every speck of rice, and I used the tortillas to wipe any remaining sauce off my plate. MUST ORDER! Coconut shrimp My boyfriend ordered this. I had a bite and thought it was really good! The shrimp was definitely fresh and it was fried/cooked perfectly. The batter was really flakey. The shrimp were huge too. Jamaican Margarita (?) with worm salt I didn't try any, but my boyfriend really enjoyed it. I did try some of the salt with the worms in it. It just tastes like normal margarita salt, honestly. You can see the little specs of worms in it though, which was cool. read more

Only visited this town for a day, passing through. SLOW service but excellent food. We were here about 1 p.m. on a weekday. Only one person was already seated in the patio and there were two of us. Another two couples arrived in the next hour. Yet, there was only one waiter who appeared to run the entire operation (in addition to the cook). Nice view of the main street and the beach beyond that. If you're just looking around, passing through town as we did, it's a great place for lunch. read more

Over all very satisfied. Great flavors. Server was nice as well. Lost a star as we ordered three things and were told that didn't have the sauce, ingredient, liquor... but still tasty read more

Pretty good Mexican restaurant at reasonable price. Only downside is that it is a little bit too close to the road so it's not super quiet read more

Staff was attentive. Chicken Nachos and Guacamole were delicious. Mango Margaritas were the best I have had.

Great food and our waiter was nice and attentive. Not much to look at from the street but it's worth getting past that. It was a bit noisy because it's so close to the street but you should expect that. read more

Holy cow, so good. I highly recommend the fish tacos- fresh red snapper or rooster fish- served on home made tortillas with the toppings. You get 4 in an order which is more than you need. The drinks were delicious, the service awesome, and the food so so good. Forget your large chains, this local place is 100x better! read more

Not the best when it comes to food. This is similar to other American/Spanish restaurant in America but NOT traditionally Mexican. If you want authentic Mexican food go elsewhere. Also, price isn't very cheap. Paid $30 for a small meal for 2 here. I can pay about $35 for a 3 person meal at Nandos. The food wasn't any special either. Tasted like grocery store quality food you can prepare for yourself without any special seasonings or spices. Very small portions as well. Not worth the $$$ I spent. ****Instead of the actual exchange rate of 19 pesos for an American dollar, they charge 15 pesos which again, is a rip off. Once again, if you want the authentic Mexican taste, ask the taxi drivers who offer the shore excursions a little past what the cruise's offer and ask for their advice for the authentic Mexican food! Burritos, lomo Saltado, etc. read more

We stopped by on Sunday for lunch, it was empty and we weren't sure if it was even open. We parked in the back parking lot and went in, a waiter from across the street came over to serve us. He was also the one making the drinks we ordered. Out of the dishes ordered by the 6 of us, only the baja fish tacos got the thumbs up, everything else were just bland. Drinks were watered down, stick to beer here. Not recommended read more

Excellent food, highly recommend the fish tacos, shrimp quesadilla, poke bowl, and guac and chips. Worth the visit!!

Great food, service. I recommend the infrijoladas for breakfast and fish dishes with a drink called the rojo Mexicans. It's a margarita with Mescal and Jamaica (hehmika) read more

It's like a hole in a wall, took an $8 cab ride from marina. Decided to go based on reviews. Went for lunch, sat ourselves. Food took a while to show up, about 30 mins. Ordered the flank steak, ceviche and tuna tostada. I loved the steak. read more
