Good food. Not much variety . They also didn't have any of the " traditional" taco meats. Cash only.

Amazing food, great prices. The guacamole was the best I’ve ever had, beef tongue taco was delicious, gringa pastor and pozole were a standout. Burritos also great, no complaints and will return

We love this no-frills local restaurant, it is just a 10-minute walk from the pier, away from the bustling tourist area. The pozole soup was hearty and full of flavor, and the taco al pastor was absolutely delicious. The Gringa pastor with a pineapple slice was perfectly refreshing, combining sweet, tangy, and savory notes. Plus, It’s very inexpensive and the server was attentive and diligent. Highly recommend for an authentic, quick bite in Cozumel!

I always look for the places where the locals eat, so I can make sure I am trying real authentic food. This place is wonderful, great food, great service and great prices! Much better than any restaurants in the tourist hotspots! I definitely recommend if you want real Mexican tacos. (Ask for tacos del pastor). My fiancé had the chicken burrito, which he said was great too!

The best restaurant i’ve eaten at in Cozumel! The special charros and pozole are phenomenal, well balanced, and customizable with various toppings. Expect laid back but friendly service (they run on island time).The tacos are great, too. The ambience is simple and down to earth, with light spanish music playing so you can still talk comfortably. If you’re looking for authentic, hearty food at a fantastic price, this is your spot!

Low key, no frills but delicious restaurant. Cash only! Includes bathroom and place to wash your hands. arrachera (skirt steak) is very good. Al pastor with pineapple. Chorizo (super red meat). With onions, cilantro, cheese, lime, salsa verde, and spicy salsa (which isn’t too hot - it has a mild kick).

I had been wanting to come here for The past three years and finally got the chance to try their Rojo Pozole. I had that and the pastor torta and they both were incredible. The staff was amazing and took time to make sure we had exactly what we needed. Everything was wonderful and I can’t wait to come here again.
