So, the husband was in a mood for seafood on our last day in Cozumel.
Turns out the specialty of the house is Lionfish, which is an invasive species in the waters off the island. Local restaurateurs have risen to the challenge of using it as a menu item, which is a win-win situation for all, (except the Lionfish). It is EXTREMELY tasty.
This restaurant seems to cater mostly to the locals, but they were quite friendly to us American tourist.-types You can pay in American dollars or Mexican pesos with no worries.
Now the ambiance is not fancy, but the food is so good, I really didn' t care. It's an open-walled corrugated-iron roofed patio with a full bar, and a flat screen television.
Our meal came with complimentary grouper cerviche, seafood sopa de lima, chips and salsa and some lovely green hot sauce. My husband had the deep fried Lonfish and I had the Shrimp Diablo. The soup and cerviche were excellent as was the rest of our meal. The waitstaff was cordial and welcoming, even given our lack of Spanish.
We were very happy with our night out and will definitely be back next time we are in Cozumel.
By all means, go check them out! read more
