Had more of a thousand island type dressing. It was served with what appears to be homemade garlic bread and was very good. Drink was very good and quite tasty. The entrees took awhile but not super long. Both dishes were ordered the pasta was Al dente. Sauce was good and the shrimp weee plentiful. The service was very good and they used a team concept to take care of everyone. Tried the outside seating but it was very wet and humid. Indoor seating was quiet and air conditioned. Everything is ala carte too. Overall good food and service. It's nice for a family or even a date.

Almost…read more The restaurant is tucked away from the main tourist strip, and walking in feels like discovering a hidden garden. At night, it really comes alive. Lanterns hang from the trees casting a warm amber glow, everything feels soft and intimate, and a live band playing low-key jazz ties it all together. It's cozy, a little romantic, and honestly one of the better dining atmospheres on the island. Hard to say how it translates during the day, but at night, it works. The Food The food holds its own, even if the setting gets most of the attention. By Cozumel standards, it's some of the better food we had on the island. The menu leans creative but still approachable. We tried a bit of everything. The Mexican dumplings were fine. Not bad, not memorable. The trio of guacamoles was a hit, especially the one with fruit and bacon, which sounds questionable but works really well. The queso was exactly what you expect. Good, comforting, not trying to reinvent anything. The standout surprise was the tortillas. Freshly made and easily one of the best parts of the meal. They elevated everything they touched. The meat tacos were also very solid, well-seasoned and satisfying. Dessert was the house specialty, a cornbread-based dish with ice cream and toppings. Don't remember the name, but I remember finishing it, which says enough. Service Service was good across the board. Friendly, efficient, nothing over the top but nothing missing either. Overall Kondesa is worth visiting for the atmosphere alone, but the food makes sure it's not just a pretty place. Come for dinner, take your time, and enjoy the setting. It's one of those meals where the environment does half the work and the food handles the rest.

The place is very clean, the servers are all very friendly and nice and the food is always excellent. We picked out our fish (4lb. Snapper). You chose how you want it prepared (we like it fried).

We loved the whole experience. May have to go back today.

There are restaurants you enjoy, and then there are places that become part of your vacation…read moretraditions. For us, Sorrisi is the latter. For more than 10 years, every trip to Cozumel has included at least four or five meals here. It simply wouldn't feel like Cozumel without Sorrisi. From the very first bite, you can tell everything is made with love and from scratch. The pizza is outstanding, the pasta is always fresh, and the desserts are absolutely worth saving room for. Some of our all-time favorites are the Chicken Parmesan, the baked gnocchi, and the fresh sangria--each one is consistently delicious and keeps us coming back for more. But what truly makes Sorrisi unforgettable is the people. Over the years, we've been welcomed not just as customers, but as friends. The staff is always warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to see you. On our most recent visit, Gaspar and his incredible team made us feel so special by preparing an off-menu favorite just for us. It's those thoughtful touches and genuine kindness that set this restaurant apart. Thank you, Gaspar and everyone at Sorrisi, for so many wonderful meals and memories over the years. We look forward to every visit and can't wait to return again. If you're lucky enough to find yourself in Cozumel, don't miss the chance to experience Sorrisi. We have no doubt you'll understand why it's become such a special place in our hearts.

I went to Papaya Slice based on reviews and truly enjoyed it. I got a slice of PPP - pepperoni with…read moreburrata, habanero, and honey - added arugula topping, and got a glass of Jamaica. The slice without the topping was absolutely amazing, the flavors blended well together and there was a decent amount of pepperoni. The crust was also just right and I ate most of it. The arugula however was just slapped on there and half of it was yellow - very frustrating given it was a paid add on (I had removed them before the photo) - however, the overall crunch and flavor was a perfect mix for this specific pizza. The Jamaica was also sweetened just enough so that you could still enjoy the flavor of the hibiscus. I would go again and definitely recommend this pizza but I suggest asking your waiter to please ensure you're getting fresh leaves if you add-on arugula. Staff were really nice and the general area is walkable, green, and chill.

Service was good. The property is nice. Trees lit up with lights, etc The bad It was very loud in the restaurant. We felt the food was prepared way ahead of time. The lobster ravioli was not warm, one ravioli was actually cold and the pasta was 'hard' in areas like it had sat out. It's like they just put warm sauce over it right before serving. The lobster was very overcooked. I did see other tables order sushi that looked good but unfortunately they only had a spicy tuna roll and I don't like spicy. I'm not sure we'd come back...

I had a scallop risotto and we ordered fish carpaccio and garlic bread for the table. The carpaccio was stunning and absolutely delicious. It was easily one of the best I've ever had. The fish simply melts in your mouth. The garlic bread was also incredibly unique and very tasty! I loved my main: scallops were tender and cooked perfectly. The prosciutto wrap was a nice touch! Risotto was cooked well and delicious. We ate dinner here and were able to catch a gorgeous sunset over the water, so definitely a plus! The ambiance is social and fun, but could easily be a date night as well. Our servers went above and beyond for us despite how busy it was. They also take card and Apple Pay, which made closing out really easy. Overall, this was a highlight of our time in Cozumel and I'd definitely return again.

This restaurant is located in the oldest home on the island dating back to 1903. Definitely a find to come here and I share this secret place with my fellow Yelpers. The food is nothing short of amazing. I strongly suggest to follow all the suggestions on what to eat. The highly skilled chef will have you leaving here wondering when you can come back. My favorites were the fresh fish, avocado(aka native to Mexico) as well as all the special and spicy ingredients. It was so relaxing to have a business meeting here while looking outdoors on the beautiful gardens. After lunch we had drinks out front while looking at the beautiful ocean. Definitely the hidden jewel on the entire island.

Visited El Palomar for dinner on this trip after a recommendation from some local friends. El Palomar is located a little north of the ferry dock on the main drag. Directly across from the Jaques Cousteau statue. The building is a charming renovated 100 year old building (very well done). We had drinks on the veranda overlooking the sea at sunset. Margarita was the best I have had in Cozumel and the view of the sunset from the veranda was great. We retired into the main restaurant for dinner . The food was on point. My wife had the grilled Mahi And I had the skirt steak. Both cooked just right and served with a side of salad,mixed veggies and potato. The service was professional and unhurried. Wine selection also very good. Price was very reasonable for this nice of a place. This was probably the best experience at a restaurant that we have had in Cozumel.
