I had the best fish soup and shrimp quesadilla I've ever had in my life here. This restaurant is right downtown, but a few blocks back. Look for it, you'll be glad you did. read more

This is a very touristy restaurant with mediocre food. We got the ceviche and it barely had lime in it. They also run understaffed. The homemade sauce they give isn't bad though and everyone was friendly. Every single table when we were here was filled with Americans speaking English. read more

I always make a trip to la choza when I visit coz. There is always someone there that seems to be in charge that will assist with the best selections for the day and when he snaps his fingers, people start moving. I typically have lunch here and it is the place that I will most frequently send tourists if they are looking for a nice easy lunch. Plenty of english spoken and a complete english menu (save the specials of the day). On a previous trip they recommended the whole snapper which my wife and I devoured. It comes out steaming hot from the fryer. Seems like it comes with fries or something, I guess i was too distracted by the fish. This time I ordered the same but it was for only one person. I struggled to get through it, and I think it was about $20. I don't think it is on the menu because it isn't always available so you would need to ask. They will also bring a couple out for you to pick from. Just ask. Excellent service. Now for the missing star. Like a lot of restaurants in a tourist town, there is a significant penalty when using the American dollar. Seems like it was a couple of pesos off from the official rate. It is clearing stated as you go in so it isn't really a trick but be advised that you will save a significant percent if you pay in pesos. And the clincher for me this time was the activity of the cashier. When i paid, I calculated the tip, added it to the bill, and put that many pesos into the check carrier. It was picked up and the change brought back in the same carrier. I wasn't even going to look at the change since I expected it to be my tip but is was some insignificant amount and missing 95 percent of my tip. I kind of looked around and tried to decide how to handle it when after a while a waiter came by and gave me the missing money. I seriously think they were trying to see if they could get a few extra dollars by causing me to tip twice. If the food and service had not been so great, I would have given them one star for this little antic. I still highly recommend the place, especially for lunch. Very safe, big portions, and great food. read more

Visited on a Tuesday when the Carnival Glory was in port. Seated right away. Staff was very hospitable. Ordered quickly however, food took quite awhile to come we asked the waitstaff if all was ok because it has been some time. Finally food arrived, was very tasty, well seasoned and good portion sizes. There was a mariachi band that came over to the table and played music which was unexpected but, welcomed. read more

Holy crap! Best mexican food i've had. I've been to cancun twice and ate the resort food and none of it comes closer. Even though it was full of tourists, it felt more local than any meixcan food I've ever had. Highly recommend if you are a clueless tourist like me! read more

Ambience was not bad. pretty nice little laid back restaurant. Food wise, nothing special about it, I would skip it.

Really good authentic Mexican food. Service was a little slow and prices are what you find in the tourist area. considering the current US exchange rate. nothing to complain about. read more

All 6 in our party got the chicken fajitas they were hot and fresh, service was fast. Margaritas strong as gasoline. Food just ok. Left me longing for better Mexican food back home in the states. They told us there were no more specials left but we saw a Mexican family being served them as we left. read more

Asked our taxi driver for a recommendation and he said La Choza is a favorite among tourists and locals. If the locals love it then we figured it had to be good and it was. My wife ordered the fish fajitas. I usually stay away from fajitas because of associations with Chili's and but these were incredible. The fish was perfectly cooked -- moist and flaky with a nice char on the outside and full of flavor. I also couldn't get enough of the carmelized onions cooked with them. The accompanying guacamole was fresh and chunky and tasty. The portions are large which is good because I ate half of her fajitas. I ordered the shrimp a la diabla. The shrimp were large and again perfectly cooked but the sauce was more on the sweet side, from the fresh tomatoes, rather than being spicy as I would have liked it. When in Cozumel skip the commercial places near the city center and head to La Choza. read more

Best meal of the trip. Great food, service, and price. Well worth the walk off the beaten path.

We have eaten there twice and neither time was memorable. The food is okay, nothing more. Try someplace else.

This place is a hidden gem. Located on a side street. Authentic Mexican food at an incredible price. Very clean, a great atmosphere and a very pleasant staff. Great value and quality. Chips and dip were very good. read more

Very nice atmosphere! The shrimp fajitas was the best dish I've had in cozumel so far :) the environment is very family/big party friendly.

This is my favorite restaurant in Cozumel. The flank steak is amazing. It is so flavorful and tender. Before the meal you will receive soup and corn tortillas. We liked the chicken and the bean soups. We went here twice during our week in Cozumel. We will definitely go back. read more

Great little local restaurant. I had the tropical fish and my friend had the chicken mole. Both were well prepared and tasted very good. The service was friendly and prompt. Would definitely recommend. read more

An authentic Mexican restaurant in Mexico. Yes, I know. You think all restaurants here must be authentic, but that would be based on a false premise. Most "ethnic" cuisine in the USA conforms to our standards of that cuisine which is anything but authentic. Consider Olive Garden or Taco Bell. These tourist destinations also lean in the direction of what is expected by the uninformed. La Choza takes the high road though only a few steps from the main tourist center. The food is good, fresh, reasonably priced and served in a lovely, clean open air setting. read more

My 2nd time there and it was as great as I remembered, the Aztec soup is great, fish is fantastic. Great atmosphere and service, highly recommended. read more

Excellent food and the service was second to none. This place was recommended by several people and it was not a disappointment. Give it a try. read more

Worst meal in Cozumel, but not horrible. Came here with a hungry group after seeing great reviews on yelp and trip advisor. I'm vegetarian so can't speak for much of the menu items. However, the chips and salsa were quite bland and uninteresting. I got the tortilla soup which was apparently vegetarian, and was delicious. Chile relleno was incredibly cheesy and greasy and also lacking in flavor. Margarita was quite strong but delicious. There was a mariachi band when we were there, going table to table. We enjoyed the music, but being a group of 5 having good conversation, we didn't really want to be interrupted by having the band at our table. Luckily when they got to us they asked if we wanted music at he gable, so we were able to politely decline. Overall quite mediocre experience. Not where the locals go IMO read more

Food was ok service sucks. They forget about you and serve your family and friends at different times like 15min gap in between

Randomly stopped in while staying at the Cozumel Palace down the street. Awesome!! House "salsa" was a mix of vinegar goodness. Different but delicious. Ordered margaritas for the 4 of us and chicken nachos as a quick snack...delicious. Loaded with topping yet each chip was completely crisp...don't ask me how. I would go back for a meal any day. Loved it! read more

The place was clean and the service was ok, but we specifically asked for mariscos not good for mariscos i wanted tostada de ceviche pescado they gave me nasty boiled fish yuk ! Don't go and they act like they cant understand your english or spanish son rateros ! read more

Absolutely love the coffee here! The food is really good also! The staff speaks English and the service is excellent!

We have been here seven days and this was the best food I have eaten the entire time. Plan to go back before we leave!

Good food. Very reasonable prices. Kids liked their mango smoothie drinks. Nice place to eat a little off the beaten path of the main tourist drag. Coconut ice cream was a hit. Very attentive service. read more

Yum! We were in Cozumel for a day on the cruise ship and desperately seeking non-cruise ship food. We took a cab from the port and had an amazing lunch. The mole chicken was delicious. Wonderful atmosphere and great food. read more

Food here is amazing. Service is out of this world. Free wi-fi is a plus. Honestly, it's off the main road and that's a huge plus too. The soup is awesome. We had fajitas and those were to die for. read more

We don't write reviews often. Only when we are extremely satisfied or disappointed. This is a review of complete satisfaction. The service, the food, and the house margaritas were FAB! We had the fajitas (steak&shrimp) unbelievable! JD out! read more

Very tasty with a good selection. The decor is not quite as interesting as the original restaurant with the palapa roof but I understand the need for more space. Worth a visit. read more

Amazing food and authentic Mexican atmosphere. We had the Fajitas in several different styles along with chips, salsa, and quesadillas. The service was excellent. Take a cab. I highly recommend this place. read more

We got onto Yelp looking for seafood restaurants and found La Choza. We basically just read other comments on Yelp and decided we would go there because it was the one with the highest stars. There was seven of us and each of us tried something different. Service was awesome, we had live music, and the food was soooo damn good. This really was a good restaurant and the food was at a good price. Clean restrooms, clean restaurant, and great atmosphere. Try the chicken soup, deep friend snapper, guacamole, seafood , ceviche, or the shrimp fajitas. Plenty for everyone to choose from. read more

The guac! OMG! And the fajitas were just as incredible! Thank you for an amazing experience, we will come back here every time we visit Cozumel. PS the La Choza sauce is an absolute MUST. read more

La Choza - Chicken fajitas with extra cheese - Mexican Near Me - Cozumel, ROO

Excellent service and real Mexican food located a couple blocks away from the main st where all the touristas walk off the cruise ships. Shrimp fajitas were great. read more

R u kidding me!? Great food, no complaints. Ceviche is a meal in itself, a must have. If I had to say a downside it would be it costs more than the 25 cents taco in a hole in the wall. This is it just a step up. Will eat here again read more

Good service and good food. Had the poblano chicken and the relleno chicken, which were 1/4 chickens with sauce. Not what we were expecting, but very good. Daughter had the garlic shrimp. Drinks were great. Atmosphere felt a little like a cafeteria. read more
