A gentle breeze massages your hair and a cold Modelo beer is set before you like a chalice before a king. The grilled fish tacos were good and perfectly paired with some guacamole. The chips and pico de Gallo were pretty standard, except the pico de Gallo had an awesome kick with some finely chopped jalapeños. They bring out several sauces for you to try (try them all, just be careful with the habanero or you'll burn your tongue out of your mouth)! The service was very pleasant and every bit 4-5 stars except when asking for the bill. They easily overcharged us $6.00 (dollars) for the meal. I don't know what conversion rate they are using, obviously something from the later 1990's, but not 20-22 pesos to the US Dollar they should have been. I brought it to their attention, but they acted like I was dumb. I mean, I can have some blonde moments, but gouging customers isn't acceptable. Three stars is more than generous for this type of behavior.

The young lady didn't even offer a refill. I had to chase her down for what I wanted. Twice. 2. Food was not good at all. The guacamole dip was too salty, the shrimp nachos were decorated nicely but tasted below average. Not horrible but below with stale chipsfor both the guac and nachos! I didn't finish my meal. I left over 60% of my dish. My wife had the governor tacos (Gobernadores) but let me tell they were nasty. The cheese, the shrimp and the veggies were all not on point. We have had plenty of these same dishes elsewhere and this was the least favorite. Definitely no star. 3. It was extremely hot and we were bunched together. Music was annoying. No star for atmosphere or anything related to it. 4. Over priced! The bill was around 640 with a manipulative 95 peso top charge, conviniently circled at the bottom so you think thets what you have to pay. When I asked the lady she said it was only a suggestion. Then I said why did she Circleville and not tell me? Blank stare, took my card added an additional charge for card use and rang me up. I paid 40 bucks or so. No star.

Carne asada, beans, guac and chips are all delicious. But the winner here is the queso fundido, which is served in a fondue type dish that keeps the cheese hot and melted for easy consumption! Que rrrrrrico! I don't have a picture, sadly, because my phone was stolen on the cruise ship, so you'll just have to take my word for it. It's a must order!! Make sure you venture into the back past the sunken bar and take a look around. There are always some really interesting items to gaze at back there. Plaza Leza is a short walk SE off of Av. General Rafael Melgar JUST NORTH of Calle Docotor Salas. As you walk down the street, the restaurant will be on your right. I put the Yelp map indicator pretty much right on the location.

We only stayed on Cozumel for 3 days and are really glad that we found this place the first night. We ended up coming back for the ceviche because the other places we tried were a disappointment. Ceviche is definitely big enough to share between 2 people and filling but we still ordered other things and overstuffed ourselves.

We took a day trip to Cozumel and once we got there decided we didn't want to rent a scooter or car to go to the other side of the island to where the resorts are. So we spied the thatched roof of El Bungalow in the distance (exit the ferry terminal and turn left. It's about a half a mile down on the beach) and decided to go, drink some margaritas and enjoy the stellar views. You can sit down or up. Up has the better views, down is actually in the sand with hammocks strewn about. The food is basic. We had the tacos which weren't good, but the guacamole was okay as were the french fries. Bathrooms, if you need them, are on the ground floor. Not fancy and smell a bit but they will do the trick. Come for the view. Come for the margaritas. For if you come for gourmet food, you will be disappointed. But hey. You're on vacation. Have another margarita and wile the day away until that next ferry arrives. You deserve it.

I think a trip to Cozumel should be to scuba dive or snorkel trip, there's not much else to do. We walked through the town in search of a place to eat lunch but nothing really peaked our interest. We walked along the coast and our friend Marc pointed out a palapa style restaurant in the distance on the beach. As we arrived, the banner boasted "The Best Sea View", they are correct! It's an open air restaurant on the upper deck with the kitchen below. Get a spot by the railing for the best view of the Turquoise water. Here's what we had: Ice cold beers all around. My hubby-Baja Style Tacos-O.K., Baja & L.A. does them better. Me-Shrimp Tacos-Very good. Randy-Grilled Fish Tacos-Good. Marc-Garlic Sautéed Octopus-Wow! Hands down the best plate of them all. Service was fast & friendly. If you find yourself in Cozumel, come here, eat, enjoy the view & relax.
