    After a long walk from the ship port to downtown Cozumel, we stop by Rock n Java for a Margarita and lunch. We picked this place mostly because it was air conditioned but it was really good and right on the beach. When you order carne asada at restaurants, often times you'll have a couple fatty pieces, but not here. We ordered the nachos which were plenty big enough to share and the nest was good quality, and NO fat! The margarita was really good too. The service was quick, friendly and they check on us just the right amount of time, not too frequent where it's annoying and not too infrequent where we had to flag him down.

    OK, this is where I'm torn. Been coming to Cozumel 30+years. We were regular breakfast customers on days we weren't diving. Stopped coming to Rock'n Java because of the quality of the food, so we started going to Jeanie's. Food at Jeannie's now going down hill, so we're back to try Rock'n Java once again. Food was good 2 out of 3 dishes, but kitchen service/timing is horrible. Our party of 3 was seated with menus. The restaurant is not big at all. We waited a bit before our server to finally come over and take our order. We ordered drinks, an Omelette, Eggs Rancheros and Waffles with a side order of Bacon. Oddly, when our drinks were served, they brought the toast that goes with my friend's omelette?? Finally again, after waiting quite awhile, the Omelette and Eggs Rancheros comes out so we started eating while waiting and waiting and waiting for the waffles. I flagged down our server 2 times to question where the waffle order was as we finished our egg dishes. FINALLY the waffles were served but they were barely cooked to the disappointment of my friend and no side order of bacon ever came. Atmosphere: small restaurant. Service: OK (bad kitchen service/time management) Food: good except for under cooked waffles)

    I LOVE THIS SPOT! The location is so convenient. The food is absolutely delicious and you get a great amount. Everyone is so friendly and kind and every-time I come they remember me and are so accommodating. I highly recommend this place.

    Desserts

    I visit this place every time I'm on the island, which is two or three times a year. The food is quite delicious and the desserts are super. My favorite is the chocolate cake. The slice is big enough for two to share. The service is always friendly and they speak English if your Spanish is rusty. Nice clean environment and strong wifi.

    Rock n Java is a great place for restaurant and brunch. They have an indoor, air conditioned dining area. I've had a variety of items but my favorite is the poblano soup. I wish I could have some shipped to the United States. Their menu is Tex-mex style. They have a lot of great coffee beverages as well. Their espresso martini is delicious. Wifi can be hit or miss on the island but the connection here is consistently strong. I recommend sitting towards the back of the restaurant where you can have a water view.

    This spot was a great find when we had a few hours to burn before getting back on our cruise ship. The service was generous and the food hit the spot. We also ordered the coconut shrimp (not pictured) which was the best out of the whole meal!

    Local artist work for sale.

    Rock and Java has been a staple during multiple scuba visits to the island. The menu is very American friendly with pasta, with wings, burgers, soups, giant pie slices, and 2 for 1 happy hour drink specials. Frequently visit here for decent music, great food, coffee beverages, and adult drinks. They have a spot on the water, so sunset is also on the menu. Do yourself a favor and swing on in!

    Enchiladas (made vegetarian) and fish tacos

    Very cute little restaurant with giant plates of tasty Mexican food! What more do ya want?! No patio, but they have TV screens up for the World Cup. And much more reasonably priced than other restaurants in downtown Cozumel. I ordered the enchiladas but asked to make it vegetarian, and they were able to accommodate which was super awesome of them. Server was very friendly too.

    Awesome nachos!!!

    What a great place it is! We rented a place few doors down for a vacation, and discovered this spot second or third day on the island. Jesus and Cornelius that work there have been very nice, they spoke English which made things easy and pleasant. Atmosphere here is great and safe. And most importantly - food is just amazing. On a photo me eating their nachos. ;) Definitely stop by and try their food when you're in Cozumel!

    The breakfast was amazing.!!! The fruit could not have been fresher. Eggs were perfect. The croissant....was just perfect. Oh and the coffee..... hot robust. Was very satisfying We will be back for sure !!! Don't miss this spot. And location is right across the street from la MEGA.

    Wonderful chicken and grilled onion quesadilla - only $10 and enough to feed two!

    Loved the margaritas and the chefs salad. Best salad ever and you don't need to get the grande as the portion size is generous.

    The servers here are friendly and it's a great location on the melgar, but I was so sick after…read moreeating the seafood nachos last night I thought I may have to go to the hospital. I know it was the nachos because my husband and I ate the same things yesterday with the exception of the imitation crab on the nachos. When they sat them down and I saw it was imitation crab I was disappointed but it was late and I was hungry. My husband ate maybe a few bites and he picked the imitation crab off. He said the nachos tasted disgusting to him. We went back to our room, and about 3 hours later I woke up and immediately started projectile vomiting. I spent most of the night in the bathroom feeling like I was going to die. I thought the imitation crab tasted a little off, but just chalked it up to being different than what I'm used to in the states. Big MISTAKE. I've managed to slow down in the vomiting and trips to the bathroom but I still feel awful. Nauseated, headache (probably from dehydration), stomach pain and back pain....I assume that's from how hard I was retching. We will never go back. Food poisoning is not something I give any additional chances for. If you've had it, you understand.

    I walked alot but their strawberry Margarita hit the spot in the hot weather of cozumel. I walked…read morefor over 2 miles from the port and man I needed a cool refreshing drink. I sat outside and enjoyed hanging out right on the sidewalk. They also served some nacho chips that tasted really fresh. Service was great and I'd come back again.

    This is a must go to restaurant if youre a foodie porting from one of the cruiselines in cozumel…read more The restaurant is small with limited seating and will always be packed with customers, so best of luck getting a seat. However, if you do, youre in for the best food made with love and flavor! This is a true hidden gem in the busy overstimulating overselling port of punta langosta

    Joyful and friendly environment with outstanding food and drink. Regina has had her place her for 9…read moreyears, and she clearly knows what she's doing! After seeing the great reviews here, we schlepped a couple extra blocks (despite a bit of rain) to visit for lunch. Well worth it. We liked Colores y Sabores so much that we returned on another day. Equally fantastic. The Margaritas (I got Mango) are great. Don't ask for frozen mango margarita because, although they will do it, it lessens the flavor of the fresh mango. Tried it both ways, so I can say for sure, lol. The Beans are something you do not want to miss. Something special about them here. The guacamole and pico de Gallo and chips are the way you'd hope: fresh, crunchy, not greasy and just enough pop. Enchiladas are fantastic - and there are three options for how you can get it. The Mole is outstanding - a little smoky, tons of rich flavor. I rarely order fajitas - but I wanted to go simple one day. Perfect. Tender chicken, and caramelized onions and peppers. Try corn or flour tortillas -- or both, like I did. Another day, I tried the tortilla soup and loved it. Soothing, simple, with strips of chicken and crunchy tortilla. We also got the chicken tacos, which were great. 3, with beans and guacamole on corn tortillas. Our fave, though, was the Chile Relleno. Heavenly. Ground beef stuffed inside and this dish was as satisfying and delicious as anything we encountered on the trip. The Carrot Cake! Definitely recommend that, too. Just sweet enough, and homemade.
