Restaurants in Chetumal

  1. A

    El Fenicio

    Come here at 11pm and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a Hopper painting: the yellow light, the few solitary diners hunched over a meal. The food, a selection of mainly Mexican fare, is tasty and served promptly. Flan and decent American-style coffee are a tasty way to finish the day.

    Los Mestizos

    This open-air eatery has enough fans to keep even its hottest customers cool. There’s the regular roundup of fish and chicken dishes, or you can go for the salbutes to save some dinero. This is also a decent spot to grab a drink.

    Café-Restaurant Los Milagros

    Serves great espresso and food indoors and outdoors. A favorite with Chetumal’s student and intellectual set, it’s also a place to play chess or dominoes, chat, or observe a local radio program being broadcast from one of the tables.

    El Taquito de Don Julio

    This is an airy, simple dining room and a good spot for night owls. The small tacos cost slightly more with cheese; other menu offerings include cheap snacks, tortas and vegetarian brochettes (M$35).
