Kondesa is one of those places where the setting almost steals the show. Almost…read more The restaurant is tucked away from the main tourist strip, and walking in feels like discovering a hidden garden. At night, it really comes alive. Lanterns hang from the trees casting a warm amber glow, everything feels soft and intimate, and a live band playing low-key jazz ties it all together. It's cozy, a little romantic, and honestly one of the better dining atmospheres on the island. Hard to say how it translates during the day, but at night, it works. The Food The food holds its own, even if the setting gets most of the attention. By Cozumel standards, it's some of the better food we had on the island. The menu leans creative but still approachable. We tried a bit of everything. The Mexican dumplings were fine. Not bad, not memorable. The trio of guacamoles was a hit, especially the one with fruit and bacon, which sounds questionable but works really well. The queso was exactly what you expect. Good, comforting, not trying to reinvent anything. The standout surprise was the tortillas. Freshly made and easily one of the best parts of the meal. They elevated everything they touched. The meat tacos were also very solid, well-seasoned and satisfying. Dessert was the house specialty, a cornbread-based dish with ice cream and toppings. Don't remember the name, but I remember finishing it, which says enough. Service Service was good across the board. Friendly, efficient, nothing over the top but nothing missing either. Overall Kondesa is worth visiting for the atmosphere alone, but the food makes sure it's not just a pretty place. Come for dinner, take your time, and enjoy the setting. It's one of those meals where the environment does half the work and the food handles the rest.

I had high hopes for Kondesa and it absolutely lived up to the hype. First off, the restaurant is…read moreabsolutely stunning. The lush plants and decor really elevate the atmosphere--I felt like I was dining in the middle of a jungle. But not a stuffy jungle with bugs everywhere! Our server (I believe his name was Victor?) was phenomenal--attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. As for the food, everything was incredible. We started with the fundido and lionfish cakes. I didn't try the fundido myself, but everyone at the table couldn't stop raving about it. The lionfish cakes were so good, I was honestly tempted to skip an entree and just order another round of those. For my main, I had the Yucatán fish and it was unbelievably good. I hadn't had red snapper in a while and didn't know what to expect, but it totally blew me away. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Cozumel, and Kondesa is definitely at the top of my list of reasons to return.

I know it was the nachos because my husband and I ate the same things yesterday with the exception of the imitation crab on the nachos. When they sat them down and I saw it was imitation crab I was disappointed but it was late and I was hungry. My husband ate maybe a few bites and he picked the imitation crab off. He said the nachos tasted disgusting to him. We went back to our room, and about 3 hours later I woke up and immediately started projectile vomiting. I spent most of the night in the bathroom feeling like I was going to die. I thought the imitation crab tasted a little off, but just chalked it up to being different than what I'm used to in the states. Big MISTAKE. I've managed to slow down in the vomiting and trips to the bathroom but I still feel awful. Nauseated, headache (probably from dehydration), stomach pain and back pain....I assume that's from how hard I was retching. We will never go back. Food poisoning is not something I give any additional chances for. If you've had it, you understand.

It was my dad's favorite place, and my boys still laugh about the time Grandpa danced on the conga line, so I had to stop in for a drink. We got there before 11 a.m. and scored a great table in front of the TV to watch the soccer game. It was too early for a frozen drink, so my husband asked if they had draft beer. It wasn't on the menu, and the server brought out two giant yard-long drafts. We weren't specific when we ordered, so that's on us. I made a comment to my husband and said... these are $20 Dos Equis! The bill? $32 for two beers. Ok less than I thought but still Vacation prices... and we definitely got hit with the tourist tax. By that point, I couldn't wait to leave. First, the balloon lady insisted on making me a hat. Sorry, I'm not six years old, and I wasn't nearly drunk enough to wear one. Then another employee slapped a sticker on my shirt that said "Mamacita" and put one on my husband that said "Big Boss." Fun? Sure. Nostalgic? Absolutely. Overpriced? Without a doubt. But then again... that's vacation

The guacamole was literally ground avocados only. I was rather disappointed. My friends were complaining about how watered down their drinks were. It took forever to get our drinks. It also took forever to get and pay for our bill. The only saving grace for this place is the views of the water but that goes so far, even with a couple of drinks.
