    Shrimp tacos
    Mark L.

    Shrimp tacos - The shrimp is very tasty. Love the grilled onion. The corn tortillas is so awesome! The brown sauce is quite tangy and delicious. Watch out the green bottle. Very spicy! Mixed taco - excellent! Tasty! . This place surprised me. Didn't expect some place so close to airport (5 minutes) is that good. It's not Mexican price but more

    There are 3 different kinds of customers at Diego's. Locals, tourists arriving and tourists departing. We hit this place on arriving on the island, grabbing a taco and guac while we wait for our rental car to be delivered, and then grabbing a taco and guac while we wait to turn our rental car back in. Fish tacos are the best. But shrimp, beef and pork tacos are also available. No alcohol, bring your own, but Mama's home made lemonade is a hit.

    Don't be fooled by the fact it's right by the airport. I heard someone walk past and say "no we shouldn't stop here because all the cruise people get off the boat and go here". That might be true, but the fish tacos were so incredible. I wasn't fully into the idea of fried fish tacos but the batter was so light and they stuff the tacos full with fish. The various salsas given were a great addition to compliment the fish.

    American prices but bomb fish tacos. This place seems to cater to the gringos but it's delicious! I also loved their garlic salsa (which you can also buy in regular and carry on size). This place is literally across the street from the airport so a good place to go before or after a flight. Seating: outdoors under a patio Service: fast and friendly Paying: they charge a fee for credit cards, US dollars accepted but change is in pesos

    Good fish tacos near the airport. We read the Yelp reviews for Diego's and perhaps were expecting more than we should have. We had the fish tacos (3 small tacos, fish was grouper), and the tacos were good but not exceptional. But they were the best fish tacos we found in Cozumel. By the way, if you want really good fish tacos, go to Puerto Vallarta. The grouper was fresh with delicate flavors. But the breading was overwhelming. Service: Good service Ambiance: taco stand with a metal awning (in other words pretty authentic).

    Best shrimp tacos!!

    We ate here right after our flight landed and we walked across the street. Very convenient location! I can't tell you how much we loved Diego's!! The tacos were AMAZING and service was very kind and fast. We'll definitely be going back!

    This was our first and last meal in Cozumel, which was just a few minutes' walk from the airport. It's an unassuming spot but don't shy away from it. Everything was so delicious. The hot sauces are also so good, just a few drops of the hottest one will complement the flavors but add some additional heat. We inhaled the first meal that I don't have photos (lol!) but tried the pork tacos, shrimp tacos, and Diego's tacos between our two meals on our vacation. Personal fav is the shrimp tacos- my friend described them to be like shrimp tempura, which is pretty accurate! I am salivating as I write this review and wish I could go back for a meal tomorrow! Eric & other staff were so friendly- I told Eric I would see him again soon so when I'm back in Cozumel you bet that this will be my first and last stop! They take pesos, USD, and credit card.

    Diego's Tacos is super convenient location by the airport, literally across the street. Employees are super friendly, speak Spanish and English, and super fast service. While this is local place, mostly tourists going/coming airport come here. I highly recommend eating here if you have a departing flight and did not get a chance to grab something to eat on the way to the airport because there is limited food options at the airport. I ordered the fish tacos, 3 tacos. If you are not super hungry share an order. The grouper fish was so tender, fresh, and flavorful. And breaded. I do not like breaded fish, but these were crispy. I will say out of all the fish tacos I ate on the island, these were the best. The salsas provided are delicious and provide the extra kick of spice that takes the tacos to the next level.

    Best tacos I had all week. I was just ther last week. It's a 20 minute walk from town just outside the airport. I had the fish tacos. So yummy. Friendly service and atmosphere.

    Hmmm, after reading everyone else reviews I kind wonder if it was just an off day :( I love fish tacos and I was so disappointed that on the day we visited the fish and shrimp were not crispy at all. It was like mushy batter....IMO, the oil must not have been hot enough or maybe they had a new person in the kitchen‍ The Diego tacos were far better and they also had super solid guacamole (just needed salt). Hopefully this place will get their fish & shrimp tacos perfected in the future, I will try to give them another shot when I am back on the island!

    Tacos here are a must try ! The fish and shrimp are both fried not the crispiest but I like it just the way they prepared it.. I think that's a personal preference if you like it crispier tell them to just make it crispier and and we suggested they make grilled anyways for healthier option hopefully sooner than later into their menu. The sauces here are the perfect combo with the tacos and the guacamole had a nice little D tortilla design. Definitely nice to eat out of the resort life. The fish tacos are with 2 big pieces in each taco which comes in an order of 3.
