But today not so much so . . . Atmosphere is always great: A+; Service: B; Food: B - - Filet de Mahi Mahi was a unique presentation on a mini char broiler that I opted to try, but they had to substitute in Wahoo fish - it was quite skimpy, overcooked and dry; Also we ordered Enciladas Verde which was very good! Chips and Salsa at 133 pesos and 240 pesos for a Margarita - both overpriced, especially the Margarita in a large glass but full of alot of ice and lacking on the Tequila. Might suggest to just drink water or have a cerveza. So many great restaurants in Cozumel - turn the pricing back a bit on the drinks and chips & salsa and you may get more customers returning - this place was almost empty at dinner time on the Malecon, while other restaurants were packing customers in.
I really wanted to give this place five stars, because a lot of things are done right, but a few details knocked it down to a four.

The enchiladas verdes were absolutely delicious, easily the highlight of the meal. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer.That said, a couple things rubbed me the wrong way. Some of the chairs are borderline painful. There is a cushion on them, but the metal back made it one of the most uncomfortable seats I’ve ever sat in. The iced latte was a miss too. No ice at all, just lukewarm coffee that tasted burnt, which was a bummer.And then there are the prices. I get that it’s a prime location, but damn, we’re not in New York City.Great food, cool space, and kind people. But between the discomfort and the prices, it’s not somewhere I see myself coming back to.

This place was recommended. Food, Drinks, and overall atmosphere was great. I took a few pics of some things I ordered. Beef Fajitas, and chicken enchiladas. Bathroom was the best smelling and cleanest I've been. When Im back in Cozumel with stop by again. A+++
Great hidden gem in downtown Cozumel. This is closer to the old cruise port. Retail store in the front and the restaurant is in the back. …Great hidden gem in downtown Cozumel. This is closer to the old cruise port. Retail store in the front and the restaurant is in the back. It is like eating in someone's backyard. Great tropical decor and marimba player. The coconut shrimp is amazing, along with everything else we tried. Big margaritas and drinks. English widely spoken, and credit cards accepted. We go here every time we are in Cozumel. Enjoy.
Ambiance: Mexican restaurant with beautiful views of the cruise ships/ocean with an upscale traditional/rustic style atmosphere. Their margaritas are large and hit the spot! The guacamole is a must order.…Ambiance: Mexican restaurant with beautiful views of the cruise ships/ocean with an upscale traditional/rustic style atmosphere. Their margaritas are large and hit the spot! The guacamole is a must order. We shared a few traditional Mexican meals - all were delicious!They offer free wi-fi and have an entire shop attached where you can get souvenirs and more. Friendly and fast service! Clean bathrooms and clean space. Great for tourists, families, and enjoying a nice meal in Cozumel.
