Isla Cozumel

Restaurants in Isla Cozumel

  1. Los Dorados de Villa

    Near the edge of Main Plaza, it specializes in food from the Distrito Federal (Mexico City and surroundings), but has a wide variety of Mexican dishes including seafood and cuts of meat. The spinach crêpes are great, as are the complimentary chips.

  2. Pepe's Grill

    This is traditionally considered Cozumel's finest restaurant and the prices reflect its reputation. It's mostly red meat (steaks and prime rib), but there's also charcoal-broiled lobster (available at market prices).

  3. Cocina Económica Las Palmas

    This place packs up with locals come lunchtime. You’ll love the chicharrones (fried pork rinds) and Maya favorites such as poc-chuc (slow-roasted pork) on offer.

  4. Pastelería y Panadería Zermatt

    Bakes pastries, cakes, pizzas and whole-wheat breads and serves decent coffee. Unlike many Mexican bakeries, it does its cooking in the early morning.

    Pancho’s Backyard

    Very atmospheric, set in a beautifully decorated inner courtyard. The food’s not bad either, focusing on international favorites and (drum roll please) seafood.

    La Cocay

    Romantic, coconut-scented candlelight and an intimate atmosphere make this snazzy restaurant a lot of fun. The menu changes seasonally but focuses on light, Mediterranean-influenced fare.

    Jeannie’s

    The views of the water are great from the outdoor patio. Jeannie’s serves waffles, plus hash-brown potatoes, eggs, sandwiches and other tidbits like vegetarian fajitas. Great frozen coffees beat the midday heat.

    Coffeelia

    A great way to start or finish the day: head over to Coffeelia for warm smiles and delicious food – and great coffees, including espressos. Thursday is story night in the pleasant garden area.

    Taquería El Sitio

    For scrump-diddily-umptious tacos and tortas, head over to El Sitio. It has fancied-up the canopy-covered eating area with a mural of a cruise ship and jumping dolphins. It’s two doors east of Hotel Edem.

    Cocina Mexicana Los Ríos

    Ceviches, chicken and seafood: all simple and good. Red plastic furniture and Belafonte tunes are part of this cheap, clean café not far from the post office. Comida corridas are M$35 (a smokin’ deal), and get you a main, a soup, tortillas, soda or other nonalcoholic drink, and dessert.
