The food was ok, but nothing to talk about. The waiters were not that friendly either. Felt like we were interrupting them. More

We stopped here early one rainy evening and wow was it good! The menu was in Spanish but our server was wonderful in helping us choose our meals. The shrimp tacos were to die for! My friend had some sort of stuffed fish with a yummy cream sauce and I had "fried fish." I thought I was going to get... More

This is always the place we go for the best and freshest seafood in Cozumel. They show us the fish before it is cooked so we can see it is fresh and just caught. The people here are wonderful. More
