    Delicious food period. Great service, hopping music vibe, stunning port views of the ships and water. Good prices on drinks and food. The house margarita is strong and solid here! The grilled garlic and butter shrimp entree is outstanding. Perfectly done shrimp! The chicken fajita plate is a big portion and delicious as well. Get these and your solid. The house hot sauce is way hot so be careful with that if you get it.

    My frozen daiquiri ($9) was pretty tasty, and the location at the cruise ship dock was prime. They accepted US currency, had free wi-fi, weren't too loud, and the service was pretty fast. Pretty nice.

    Make sure you stop here. Colorful, Authentic Decor, Traditional Music and right by the water. Close walk from the cruise port. The food here is good and big portions. Service a little slow but probably with the flow of people in and out, it's hard to tell who is ordering or just taking a load off. Their drinks are amazing and delicious. So cool, creamy and smooth. I always get the Mudslide and my husband gets the non-alcohol version of the Mango Pineapple. The flavors are delectable. Every time I'm in Mexico I find a Fat Tuesday! There is also one in Biloxi I missed while at Cruisin' the Coast a few months ago. A must Try!!!

    I've been to Fat Tuesday twice on separate trips to Cozumel. The location and atmosphere of the bar are somewhat alluring to the inebriated souls that pass by, looking for one last round before they must return to their ship. The open, beachy ambiance and promise of New Orleans-style daiquiris just draw you in like some sort of magic spell. As with any good magic spell, after being suckered in you are cursed with slow service and sub-standard food. I ordered nachos since I was just looking for a bite and I was brought a full-sized to-go box full of over-salted, round tortilla chips covered in ballpark-style nacho cheese. Not what I was expecting. They slightly redeemed themselves by presenting a cup full of freshly-smashed guacamole, but only slightly because it didn't mix well with the orange cheese that made me reminisce of miserable childhood days spent in the stands of the dreaded ballpark. The beers were cold and refreshing, although we didn't venture beyond Dos Equis (when in Rome). To sum up my experience, I am reminded of the words that a witch doctor of sorts once told me: "Everything that glitters isn't gold."

    It's getting real now!!!

    I actually enjoyed our stop here, we were drawn in by the free wi-fi sign (apparently we can't even go a day and a half without wi-fi withdrawls). Anyhow, we were seated on the patio near the water where we could see our ship, the Carnival Magic. We ordered our frozen drinks and some nachos and I was in heaven. I'm reading the other reviews here and am perplexed. Either I don't get out enough or I'm easily impressed (possibly both). I loved the nachos. See my other reviews (Fuzzies Tacos) and you'll know I was searching for nachos and getting pretty upset because I was having a hard time finding what I wanted in Florida. The nachos here were EXACTLY what I was looking for. Apparently, when I want nachos, I just need to jump on a cruise ship and head to Cozumel. Who knew. On a side note, we were so happy with the Fat Tuesdays that when we spotted one in Honduras, we stopped in. I wasn't as impressed with that stop as I was with the one in Cozumel. So, take that as you wish. If we ever find ourselves in Cozumel again, we would stop in again. Enjoyed it.

    This picture won't upload from Fat Tuesday ... Oh but maybe they will for Yelp!

    They act like they're a huge favor for selling you a beer that's priced twice what it is in the next place over. AND, and, and, their WiFi blocks pictures. Tried FB and SMS... No pictures.

    If you're visiting Cozumel and looking for delicious Mexican food with great service and a…read morewelcoming atmosphere, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. We would happily come back! Ask for Ivan , whom provided great service !!! Will be back the next time around .

    The servers here are friendly and it's a great location on the melgar, but I was so sick after…read moreeating the seafood nachos last night I thought I may have to go to the hospital. 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.
