The most wonderful seafood platter. Soup. Fresh handmade in the dining room fresh corn tortillas and habanero salsa. . Lobster, shrimp, fish with rice and fresh vegetables cooked to perfection. Including ice cream. Abundant staff to wait on your every need. Open air ambulance surrounded by a lovely garden. A must stop.
This place is a must try if you are in Cozumel. The grounds alone are worth the visit. They make their own tequila and it's family owned. We did some tequila tasting then went to dinner in their restaurant. We had a fish and shrimp ceviche. It was so fresh and probably one of the best I ever had. Part of the meal is their chicken lime soup. It was fresh and tasty. For our entree, we had a surf and turf of filet mignon and a warm water lobster. The steak was tender and cooked to the requested temp. The lobster was scrumptious. We had a mariachi band to entertain us while we waited for our food. Love, love this place.
We had a huge group and the employees did a great job keeping things straight for everyone. The gardens are beautiful and the drinks came quickly. They make a table side guacamole that was delicious. And they brought complementary tortilla soup. Maybe that was because we were a group. Hubs tried the ribeye and I tried the Mexican plate.We also had some flan and a couple bottles of water . The price was really great. The restaurant area Is clean and the workers are very efficient.
This restaurant is a total delight. The perfect combination of ambiance, service, food and price. With the addition of avocado and pico, the shrimp cocktail became a culinary WOW moment, easily the best I've ever had. The coconut crusted grouper was outstanding and a generous portion, enough for two. The lime soup was delicious. Drinks were well made and strong. Multiple staff for each table runs like clockwork. The facilities and grounds are beautiful, with an Old World vibe. A place where you'd like to spend the day. The surprise was the excellent strolling musicians who took requests. Normally, I like to eat authentic food where the locals eat so I've been avoiding Casa Mission for many years. (I thought it was a cheesy tourist trap or like something you'd find in Disney Epcot). That was a massive mistake on my part. Casa Mission was GREAT so I guess that makes me a Cheesy Tourist. I can't wait to go back, which is my highest compliment.
We recently visited Casa Mission restaurant while docked at Cozumel as a part of our cruise. Knowing I'd be in Cozumel, I (of course) consulted Yelp to find recommendations of where to eat for lunch. Given that we were going to be eating lunch on New Year's Eve and I wasn't sure how crowds might be, I was very pleased to be able to make a reservation on the restaurants website in advance. We took a taxi to the main center of Cozumel from the cruise port ($10). We then decided to walk to the restaurant. If you are at the town Square (where the big Cozumel sign/photo site is located near the water), it is roughly a 15 to 20 minute walk to the restaurant. The restaurant is surrounded by large walls, so from the street it does not look like much of anything. Once you enter, you are greeted with the most beautiful garden. You can explore the grounds and also there is a tequila tasting booth located there as well. Upon entering the courtyard of the restaurant, we were greeted by a lovely employee and brought us to our table. I noticed there were some tables indoors, but everyone was sitting outside at lunchtime. I was also told that the restaurant is actually a house as well. The service was very attentive and friendly. All the people we interacted with could speak English to be able to order with ease. We started with a queso fundido. Unfortunately, this was the only item that we ordered that didn't impress. It was a bit too oily, and if they address that issue, the appetizer will be perfect. The chips and tortillas provided were delicious. I had the fish which tasted very fresh as were the vegetables that accompanied the main course. Dishes served here are very similar to the Mexican restaurants I've enjoyed at home in the United States. While the food here is delicious, the star of the show is the setting. I'd say it is worth the walk (safe during the day per our experience) or taxi cab to visit this restaurant. While I'm sure many tourists visit here, it didn't feel as crazy and slammed as the restaurants I saw in the main part of town. This place was peaceful, and I imagine it must be beautiful at night as well!
A good ambiance with amazing mariachi! More expensive than other places we had gone, and the food was just okay - not bad though! We got a table for 2 without a reservation without any issues. They also have tequila tasting by on site, which I think is complimentary(?) but we didn't know that and had booked the tasting on Viator for $10pp.... Definitely try just showing up while you wait for your table or food. Overall, I don't feel like I need to go back, but it was still nice and seems good for big groups. They take credit card.
OMG..... The absolute BEST overall dining experience EVER! The property is inland about a mile, surrounded by a tall concrete wall, inside the wall u find tall trees, plants literally everywhere, blooming flowers, trees, bushes...trails to walk amongst, then there is the 'Casa'.. such a beautiful, quant, welcoming setting! The entire staff makes u feel like a member of their 'family'. THE best Margarita ever while walking around waiting. FOOD: fresh pico prepared at the table, fresh guacamole was wonderful, homemade lime/tortilla soup made u want more. My wife ordered coconut shrimp, which was large and prepared great...enough to share. The Grouper for me was grilled, sautéed in garlic/butter and spices...not 'fishy' at all, taste was amazing! I had their homemade vanilla/chocolate ice cream that tasted so good. A waiter prepared my wife's flaming , 'Sexy' coffee, which was a performance in itself and tasted even better! The price of 'everything' was extremely reasonable! We WILL definitely be going again on this trip and every other to Cozumel!
This old Mission is the perfect restaurant for a lazy afternoon lunch and margarita. The grounds are very tranquil, an ideal setting for any dinning experience. Now, although the menu was a bit Westernized, it contained enough authentic options to win the day... and let's be honest after several weeks in Cozumel, your going to want a Chicken Kiev in your life. My chicken Kiev was a succulent mix of old world flavors. I also ordered a side of freshly made guacamole that complemented my entree extremely well. This place was just what I needed to capture a day of relaxation and margaritas
Our goal when we got off the cruise ship was to find authentic Mexican food and boy did we find it! We tried the sampler and loved getting a little bit of everything they had to offer. My favorite from the sampler was the elote as I am a huge elote fan! I tried the margarita and I wasn't crazy about it as it was served a bit salty but still very good. The service was good not great as they forgot my toddlers meal after we tried to order it first to feed him on purpose quickly. Other than that they were attentive and good. The place was very homey as it seemed as we were eating in someone's home and there was a pretty garden to walk around after the meal. Overall, I am happy I went as it is a safe, good place to eat authentic Mexican food.

After a Tequila Tour our guide recommended Casa Mission and made reservations for 12 on the drive to the restaurant. Beautiful garden scenery as you walk up to the entrance of the restaurant which we were told its an actual home. The food was good and the service was good especially with a large party of 12 to accommodate. The Coconut Shrimp were large and cooked well. Served with a coconut dipping sauce. Mexican Coke for the win!! On the day we were there a Mariachi band was playing and even taking request read more

We had one of the best meals we've had in Mexico at this restaurant. The staff were personable, everything was clean and the wheelchair access accessibility for the most part was good. I'll give a more detailed portion of that below. I had the steak fajitas and we had the lime chicken soup and the Mexican plate. The Mexican plate had a torta, chili relleno, tamale, quesadilla, green chicken enchilada, and a small portion of fajitas. Everything was delicious and well cooked. The gardens are gorgeous and I could easily see a wedding being held there. Wheelchair accessibility: you can tell hat they've put thought and effort into making this restaurant wheelchair accessible. There was an accessible entrance, and each of the restaurant entrances and had small ramps that were put in place, a little steep but nothing un- navigable. The aisles were open and roomy, and there were paved paths through the garden also accessible by wheelchair. The one hiccup is that the bathrooms have two small steps to get into them with no handrail. read more

Excellent! Took the Vab drivers recommendation As well as the staff. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Service was on point and prices resonable read more
I visit this place every time I come to Cozumel. The quality is unwavering, and the food is delicious, simple, and authentic. I start with the tequila tasting, which is free, I definitely recommend purchasing a couple bottles. Then proceed to eat at the family restaurant. The service can be a little slow after you have been seated, but the wait staff is super friendly. It's very quaint and a great place for dates, family dinners, and anything comforting. The Mexican plate is a good go-to with a combination of different things (enchiladas, steak, tamales, tostada), my daughters got the chicken fajitas and shrimp tacos and loved it. Definitely will be coming back! read more
After two years, we finally came back to this place. I called for booking for 7:30 pm, when we arrive, it's a full house. We were arranged to sit at the waiting area. We got our table in about 10 mins. Not too bad. Guacamole is good and fresh but not much flavor, mixed ceviche is good a little too much lemon juice. My fajita tastes good but when i asked for hot sauce, it never came. read more

100% worth the visit here if you're in Cozumel. Tips: - Lime soup, Guacamole, salsa and chips are complimentary and surprisingly really good. - There's a chocolate tour and tequila tour available - Servers make the Caesar salad in front of you - Call ahead to book a reservation, they get pretty busy If there's one thing you HAVE to order, it's the king crabs. It's so well-seasoned, well cooked(grilled) and finger licking good. It's a pretty big portion but we ended up finishing it between two people because it was so good. 6 stars The Caesar salad was pretty good, they even make it in front of you. It's a bit different than the usual Caesar salad as they add anchovies etc. but still really good. 4 stars We got a ceviche and it was good but nothing compares to the king crab. 3.5 stars The margarita was pretty boozy so great bang for your buck. Service was really good and attentive! I really liked the overall atmosphere here. Highly recommend read more

On our last night in Cozumel this was a place we hadn't tried out yet and this was our second year in a row visiting. The place is gorgeous! It was a Friday night and quite busy. We asked to sit outdoors but were told their was a very large party out there. We sat indoors and it was still a great open space. There was quite a LONG wait before we were greeted by a server, but it was very well worth the delay. We both ordered a cocktail and husband was so excited when I told him that the man next to us was getting a tableside prepared Caesar salad! He always wanted one so we opted for that and it was UHmazing!!!!!! We both had steak and lobster and I will tell you that it was one of the most perfectly cooked steaks I've ever eaten in my 47 years, not only was it a perfect medium rare, it was seasoned well. The lobster was delicious and buttery. We dined with happiness as we were serenaded by a great Mariachi band! Our service ended up being on point. Next time we visit beautiful Cozumel we want to try brunch in the courtyard! Kudos! read more

Coconut shrimp-tasty, but coconut shrimp tastes the same pretty much any place you go. The dipping sauce was a bit unique-coconut sauce with a hint of mint. Lime soup, served with an entree -decent (however, i wouldn't go out of my way to order it). Garlic fish fillet, Mexican plate, and the flan, were OK, again-wouldn't go out of my way for this.

Ambiance was great, old colonial house with lovely grounds. Food was decent/fair with the exception of a totally bonkers sauce served with my coconut shrimp. It was some sort of pale blue minty creamy sweet thin sauce that did not go with the shrimp at all. Perhaps it's a classic pairing that I'm too much of a luddite to know about, but very strange overall. Shame because the shrimp themselves were lovely! read more

My first time in Cozumel, a friend recommended that we dine at Casa Mission. As we entered the beautiful garden, complete with whimsical frogs, we heard conversation and experience the aroma of food cooked with love! During our meal, a trio of fabulous musicians serenaded us. We were treated like old friends by the staff and we appreciated the dishes made from repurposed wine bottles or colorful pottery. From our seats, we could see the tortilla grill made from the center of an old wheel, and so many artists' creations of crucifixes and crosses that we couldn't count them all. The meals were delicious, filling, and ever so enjoyable. Thank you for a marvelous night, Casa Mission. read more

We came to Mexico on a cruise and our cab driver recommended this restaurant to us. We told him we were looking for authentic Mexican and it's not exactly what we got. The restaurant itself is very pretty and open! But the food was good, just very Americanized. They bought chips and salsa for the table when we first arrived. The salsa was a bit on the spicy side, but nothing too crazy. I then asked for some Guacamole, which was a very large portion. It was tasty but did not have a ton of flavor. I did like that it was a little more on the chunky side than smoothed. I order the fish tacos, and they were a build-your-own. It came with a soft tortilla, beans, guac, fish, and some sort of very liquidy sauce. They were good, but nothing I would rave about or need to go back and order. The service was pretty quick and the staff were very nice, just wish it was more authentic Mexican food. read more

Finally made it to this place. The food is good and the restaurant is very pretty. I am not a fan of lobster, but I love the way they cook it. If you are in the island, it's worth a visit. read more
During our first trip to Cozumel, we ate here on our first night because it was highly recommended by our friends and we loved it so much, we came back for dinner the following night to celebrate another friend's birthday. I wish I had photos of the food but it was AMAZING. Both nights I had the cheese fondue as a starter (highly recommend) and a chicken fajita - so much flavor and the tortillas were the best I've ever had. The service was great, the restaurant was beautiful, and the mariachi band made our dinner experiences one to remember. We will definitely be back and I highly suggest anyone who visits Cozumel go here! read more
