We were wandering around looking for the outdoor market that we visited several years ago and…read morestumbled upon this place. I guess "stumbled" is not exactly accurate because the store is enormous. It is like a hypermart in the US. It has everything from foods to kids' toys to refrigerators. It has everything that has even been made. Best of all, it is AC! The store was clean and well-kept. I don't have any context for price comparisons but things seemed to be reasonably priced.

Plus it's fun to gravitate to where the locals do every day things. It's also fun to buy items packaged in Spanish. No, I don't speak the language, but how are you going to learn a little of your host country if you don't immerse yourself a little in it?

The owner was so kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time. We're already looking forward to going back in March, and yes, my crazy self called two months in advance to make sure I got the time I wanted. Highly, highly recommend. A true gem and such a unique dining experience in Cozumel.

Cozumel in late September isn't a postcard. It's humid, a little sticky, the kind of weather that…read moremakes you earn your dinner. The restaurant is open-air, the kind of place where fans work overtime and the heat is part of the atmosphere. If you're here for polished white-tablecloth perfection, you're missing the point. This is the kind of place where the food matters, and the people making it matter even more. We started with a margarita -- simple, clean, lime-driven, the way it should be. Then a surprise: a Mexican Chardonnay that was more than just a curiosity. It was bright, elegant, and held its own against what was about to come. The tuna tataki arrived like a quiet promise -- fresh, barely kissed by flame, layered with tomatoes and herbs that tasted like they'd been picked that morning. Then came the pasta. Not just pasta -- house-made, hand-cut strands with that chew you can only get when someone's sweating in the back rolling it out. One plate loaded with clams, briny and delicate, another brimming with mussels, shrimp, tomatoes -- a proper frutti di mare. This was Italian soul filtered through the Caribbean, kissed with garlic and oil, but unmistakably crafted with care. And then dessert. A cacao chocolate cake so rich, so unapologetically decadent, it silenced the table for a moment. This is the kind of cake you remember -- layered, moist, dark, a reminder that pastry is art when it's done right. But food is only part of the story. Joel, our waiter, was the other. A young man brimming with passion, the kind of person who doesn't just serve you but lets you glimpse the beating heart of the restaurant. His pride, his storytelling, his quiet attentiveness -- it elevated the night from a meal to an experience. Would I go back? In a heartbeat. Not because it's fancy, not because it's perfect, but because it's real. Real food, real people, real sweat. And in the end, that's what matters.

The fries were excellent. The were crisp on the bite and very fluffy inside. The burrito was smaller than average. The veggies were nicely grilled, neither too soft or too raw with just enough bite. The tortilla was fresh, soft, and chewy. I generally don't dock points for delays, but this was amongst the longest I've waited anywhere for food.

Snacks, beers, cheladas, hielo... you name it, if it's in the name of convenience, then Oxxo has it. This particular Oxxo is convenient both to the Tulum highway (307) and the Puerto Aventuras pueblo. So it was a natural stop for cold beers after a long hot day on the water angling for sport fish. We tried to hit it up on the way to our boat, but they don't start selling beer until something like 8am or whatever. So that was a no-go. However on a scorched afternoon in this sleepy pueblo, the Oxxo is running full speed, and our cold Sol needs were well met. Gracias, Oxxo.
