Mahi Mahi in garlic sauce
Poom C.

This restaurant is located next to (south) the Westin Cozumel. We had an early dinner so it was quiet & we had excellent service. The mixed cerviche was fresh & flavorful. The garlic Mahi Mahi was perfectly cooked & so delicious. My wife lover her Baja Shrimp Tacos. The restaurant has a more local flavor & definitely worth a try.

Seared tuna tostada. The last of 3 that was left for me to eat.  Their green sauce is wonderful and packs a nice kick.

We are staying at the Westin and overlooked this due to so few reviews and we decided to have lunch there today. It was amazing. Great prices, great service and great food. We had seared tuna tostadas and they were awesome. We have eaten our way around Cozumel and we're very impressed. Only downfall was a limited cerveza selection, but that can be overlooked when service and food is that good. We'll be back.

Octopus Tostadas

What I like most about this restaurant is that the staff are very service oriented. We arrived during the closing time after flying. We were able to obtain drinks and a snack to hold us over for dinner. Also when we had to be at the airport to catch our flight out, the staff prepared an excellent TO-GO meal that was the envy of the airport. I can specifically recommend the following entrees: rib-eye steak, Playa Azul hamburger. salmon dijon, Veracruz lobster, and fettucine pesto. With any wonderful restaurant, there is always something that be taken to the next level and this restaurant is no exception. What I think could be better is the mosquito and insect situation in that very little pest management is visible. I would specifically recommend repellent (e.g. Citronella), trap products (e.g. Dynatrap) and air pressure differentials. Overall, I enjoyed my time there and look forward to returning in the future.

I almost don't want to write this review and keep it as a secret to myself…read more One of the people I was traveling with found this gem. For a low price it includes food and amenities to this beach club. I came here with nine other people while visiting Cozumel. Checking in was easy. You pay first and the money can be used towards credit towards food. Everything else extra you have to pay for, such as snorkeling, jet skis, and renting towels. My first thing at this beautiful place was my $100 of deep tissue 60 minutes massage on the beach. No regrets. It was the best thing ever. Total serenity. Then after I went into their private crystal clear beach water with lots of fishes. It was amazing. We also had lounge chairs with umbrellas. And did I mention the food was actually really good. Oh and they had a pool as well. There is a full restaurant too if you prefer that but we liked ordering and having the food come to us. We had an amazing time here and it was the highlight of everyone's trip. I definitely would come back.

During our trip to Tulum, we drove out to Playa Del Carmen and took the ferry to Cozumel. We knew…read morewe wanted to visit a beach club, but it was around 11am and the most popular ones fill up early. We were worried we weren't going to get in, but we got very lucky they weren't full! When we arrived, we were greeted and they explained its $25pp but that credit goes toward food/drink. We purchased 2 cocktails and an entree while there and it added up to our entry fee. The steak fries were good with a hint of buffalo and plenty of steak and toppings. The two drinks were strong enough and refreshing. They have a lot of loungers by the beach area, a pool next to it, and a restaurant with plenty of seating. Also, plenty of clean restrooms. Towels can be rented from the gift shop and as long as they are returned, they are $1. We had a server stationed by our beach loungers who took good care of us. We would definitely recommend this beach club for a relaxing, chill vibe! It was also family friendly.

During my 3 day stay at Cozumel, I came to eat at this lovely neighborhood restaurant everyday…read more Enrique and his wife are some of the friendliest and most hospitable people on the island. They ran a Mexican restaurant for over 20 years before opening Mi Antojito, so you know it's going to be delicious. Everything I ordered was absolutely delicious and extremely affordable. The Reina pepiada is a must try, and the cheese in the Tequenos is locally sourced and specially produced just for the dish. They also have gluten free options for those with dietary restrictions. I have been seeking authentic Venezulan food everywhere and have not found a better place than this. I will come back to Cozumel just for Mi Antojito.

YUMMMMYY !! Where to begin? This was my first time trying VENEZUELAN FOOD & I'm completely Addicted…read more!! The owner and his wife were so nice , not pushy (like most vendors/restaurant employees in this island) what so ever , very friendly and attentive . Had many choices to choose from in the island BUT I'm so so GLAD I came by to Mi Antojito because I had the BEST Arepas ever ! My husband got A plate with chicken and bell peppers , rice salad and plantéense! AMAZING 100% RECOMMEND for EVERYONE visiting Cozumel to come by to this spot , YOU WILL NOT REGRET ! I took 2 arepas to go ... currently eating them again now lol :p YUMMMMYY !! ¿Dónde empezar? Esta fue la primera vez que eh probado Comida Venezolana y estoy completamente adicta! . El propietario y su esposa eran muy agradables, no empujosos (como la mayoría de los vendedores / empleados de restaurantes de esta isla), son tan amable y atentos . Hay muchas opciones para elegir en la isla, pero estoy tan ALEGRE de haber venido a Mi Antojito porque por fin eh probado algo muy diferente y muy sabroso!y tienen las MEJORES Arepas . ¡Mi esposo recibió un plato con pollo, ensalada , arroz y plátano macho! ¡INCREÍBLEMENTE 100% RECOMIENDO a TODOS los que visiten Cozumel que vengan a este lugar, NO Lo lamentaran! Ordene 2 arepas para llevar... actualmente las estoy comiendo de nuevo ahora lol: p

Excellent. Cool store front! Authentic Cuban. But first…read moremake sure you have the right address. 5th Ave South between Adolfo Rosado Salas and 3 South. Tried several items. Let's start with the mojitos. This is the real deal. Made to perfection. Crush the mint, simple syrup and the rest is magic. The choices of flavor a outside of original are amazing. Mango, kiwi etc. then let's start with the fried pork loins. Perfect starter. We had 4 entrees. The shrimp was jumbo fresh and amazing. Garlic, wine, terrific zest. Loved the butterflied prep. The veggies n potatoes were nicely prepared. The casino special. 4 tacos. Beef and pork and pork sausage. Onions and bell peppers. Flour tortilla. Grouper fish tacos. With habanero and cilantro on flour tortillas. Very thin flour street taco style. Accompanied with habanero, medium oil salsa, medium smokey chipotle. Cubano with pork leg, ham pork and melted cheese and pickles. This is the real deal! Dessert we split. Frozen home made "shake". Plantains, chocolate, carnation milk, coconut creme and some cookies. Lastly to close the night off the "house digestion". Wow just sip and enjoy. After this I'm ready to go to Havana! Super service by Johnny. Thank you! Alex the owner did an amazing job with our food and so cordial. Sorry it's taken 6 years to find this gem.

Dude....the chili oil on a Cuban. This place was such a pleasant surprise. We are sad we found it…read moreon the last night. Great break from Mexican food and mediocre margaritas. Mojitos made us giggle and probably the best I've ever had***Cuban Sandwich special does not come with pork.
