I was walking around with my significant other and we were suddenly hungry. This seemed like the spot that would treat us right. Upon entering, it was impressive with a tropical feel. We were immediately seated at a table. I looked at the menu to see what was offered. From the Bebidas / Drinks section, I ordered a Margarita. In Pesos, it was 154. In USD, it was 7. From the Especialidades / Specialties section, I went with the Camarón Mission. In Pesos, it was 440. It was Mission Shrimp. In USD, it was 20. From the Lunch section, we ordered Tacos (Pollo, Res o Pescado). In Pesos, it was 220 and we chose Res. It was Tacos (Chicken, Beef or Fish). In USD, it was 10 and we chose Beef. We were given free chips and salsa. They were excellent. The salt and pepper at the table each amplified the flavor. We were given a free refill on them that was just as excellent the same way. The Margarita had a zing to it. It was flavorful and went down easy. I enjoyed it. The Camarón Mission wasn't too good. Everything on the plate wasn't impressive. On the menu, it stated that If You Don't Like It, You Don't Pay It. I wasn't charged for it, so I definitely respected that concept. The Tacos came with a quantity of three. They were excellent and so was everything else on the plate. I wanted to try one more item, since my meal didn't work out. From the Entradas section, I ordered a Guacamole. In Pesos, it was 66. In the Entrees section, it was Guacamole. In USD, it was 3. The Guacamole came out fast and it was an excellent size for the price. It was certainly enjoyable. The Tip's For Music group was decent. I thought it was weird that I was approached at my table by one of the members for a tip, though. The service was great throughout my visit. I didn't have any issues. Overall, this was an awesome spot to stop at. If I'm in the area again, I might explore the menu more. Date of visit: 16/10/2024
When you visit Mexico, you have to have Mexican food! Trust me, it doesn't taste the same everywhere else! What makes things taste even more amazing? I'm thinking it's the limeade! For real for real! I ordered limeade all around and it was amazing!!! Just like it always does! This is my 4th time visiting and I always order a limeade and of course, still amazing! The ceviche was my favorite dish!!! Probably because of the limeade but it made me extra happy! My tacos were pretty cool too! Everyone ordered their food and loved it! Service was excellent, food arrived in a timely manner and the ambiance was just so cool too! They played live music, treated us to some appetizers and the food was hot and ready! Nice spot to visit, next to the port in downtown Cozumel, definitely need to stop by again!
Taxi driver was going to take us to Palmeras, but we chose this place instead. Enjoyed the ambience with the exception of the flies. Shaded with lots of fans blowing to keep it pleasant. Started with an order of fresh guacamole and tostadas. which was tasty and plentiful. Ordered a fried fish (off menu) which was good. The shrimp cocktail had sauce made with a bland pico de gallo with a dollop of ketchup on top. It was mediocre. Service was okay. Place was empty. I thought it was a tad overpriced. Pay in pesos. Their exchange rate is only 16:1 if you pay in dollars.
My friend was still craving for lobster since the one we had prior wasn't that good. After a bit of walking around, we decided to try the seafood at La Mission. We started with the fresada and pinada drinks, which were very refreshing. We also shared the lobster dish and a ceviche from the conch shell. The lobster was pretty good- way better and more fresh than the last restaurant we went to. I also enjoyed the ceviche- it reminded me of the kind we got in the Bahamas. It's really different and unique. Service was a bit slow though. It took a while to get food, etc.
So our taxi driver recommended this spot, and I was way more impressed than I expected to be! I took a long time looking at the menu, trying to find the perfect thing, and nothing was really jumping out at me. Yes, I'm in Cozumel, but no, I don't go out for Mexican food often. It always leads to getting full on complementary chips and salsa and giant margaritas. Finally I just decided to go with the chicken burrito, and it was the best one I've ever had in my life! True to form, I ate half and was stuffed, and was made about it because it was perfect! I mean, it was absolutely amazing so I made Eric try it too, to see if I was crazy. He agreed, it was delicious! He enjoyed his meal too, and we were stuffed and tipsy and happy by the end! We have nothing to complain about here, and I'm so glad we stopped in for lunch on one of the last days of our trip! We also checked out the tequila and did a tasting in the back after lunch! That was fun, too, and it just added to the amazing experience! Let me tell ya, I had a burrito on my layover at the DTW airport today from some chain and it was not even a little bit close to the burrito I had here. No comparison, AT ALL! This was fantastic and I'd go back!
Thoroughly enjoyed LaMission. I had garlic shrimp which was not overly garliced and my wife had Coconut Shrimp. I've given four stars because of the Coconut Shrimp, they were huge. They were coated in real Coconut and served in an actual Coconut with a yogurt sauce. You can tell how fantastic they were by her surprised expression. The restaurant is open air and is a great place to just sit and relax, nice ambiance. It is located right off the Main Street along the waterfront. I didn't give a fifth star because the salsa was mediocre, just a pico, the chips were a little hard, not fresh, and they had a couple guys playing the marimba and it was excessively loud. Don't sit next to the marimba!! When we are in Cozumel we will definitely go here again.
When we first walked in (8 of us) some did t want to stay because it was smoking from cooking. But we ended up staying. So glad we did. The chips, pico and guacamole that they served was the best. The Picco de Gallo was hot spicy. But it was so good. I order margaritas at our local restaurant that are good BUT this margarita was amazing. Not sure how I'm going to drink the local one again. I ordered the Mexican chicken. Sounded good and it was. Still wishing I would have ordered another margarita before we left. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Meh. We got bit up my mosquitoes. They were nice enough to move us. Ordered fish tacos- nothing special... they were disappointing in flavor and eye appeal. Neither of us finished the meal. Guacamole was decent but we had to doctor it up with salt. Pina Colada was not authentic ... must have came from a machine. There was a manager who offered tequila taste to the table next to us but don't know why it was just them. read more
Very delicious and fresh seafood lunch!! The service was excellent and the food was the best we have had at a Mexican port. We shared a platter with grilled lobster tail, mojo de ajo (garlic) grilled Dorado (Mahi Mahi) and grilled shrimp. The plate came with rice and vegetables. La Mission was recommend by a shop owner along the Malecon and it was a great suggestion. It is walkable (20 minutes or so) from Punta langosta cruise terminal where our ship was docked. read more

La Mission was great; try it if you ever come to Cozumel. The food was excellent, and authentic margaritas only one got me drunk. The servers and atmosphere were immaculate. Every time I come to this port, I always have a good time. read more

Don't waste your time. Go across the street to Mahi Mahi restaurant. We waited in line for 20 minutes watching dishes be put up on the pass (it's upfront and draws you in) only to sit and be beyond cold. While we waited about 15-20 people checked out telling the long line how horrible the service was. And how cold the food came out. I'd Yelp the other restaurant but unfortunately they aren't on Yelp. I'd give them a 5 for service and food. Get the Special for 2 or 4! read more

Meat was super tender,especially the kabob. It was a lil sad that the tortillas were store bought considering we are in Mexico. I had a mojito and it was ok. Rice was good and the mariachi was great. Would definitely recommend if you are used to authentic food and are having trouble finding palatable food. read more
I wish I could give La Mission five stars but they are lacking in the way of refined traditional flavoring agents. They definitely skew towards the cruise ship diners tastebuds--but don't let that fool you, there are plenty of options to try! Grilled lobster was a solid four stars for me! read more

We really enjoyed La Mission this evening. The atmosphere was amazing, it was pouring down rain, which almost made us cancel going out for the evening, but on the recommendation of a friend we decided to brave the elements and head to La Mission; I'm glad we did. The rain mixed with their jungle atmosphere was a super cool vibe. The complementary starter soup had amazing flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed my coconut shrimp served in a real coconut! The shrimp were huge. My husband got the sampler so he had a little bit of everything and the kids got fajitas which they devoured quickly. The star of the show though was the Spanish coffee, great presentation and flavor! Don't skip it! Delish read more

We went to La Mission twice while vacationing in Cozumel and both times, the food was delicious. We can highly recommend the grilled mahi Mahi. The staff were so accommodating and amazing. I loved the garden and all the plants. My husband ordered the filet mignon and was very satisfied. We will definitely be back on our next trip read more

We walked into this restaurant during lunch hour after we did some shopping. It's nice decorated, and the ceiling fan are all working really hard trying to cool down the place, when i walk down to our table, i saw other people are having a whole fish, fried. So when i get the menu, but can't find this on the menu, i asked the waiter, he say it's not on the menu, but i can order, either grilled or fried. It's red snapper today, i asked for grilled. When it's get on the table, wow! It's beautiful! The waiter said it weights one kilogram. Unbelievable, only 20 dollar. Husband got chicken fajitas, it's 15 dollar. I think my whole fish is way better than a normal chicken fajita. The fish is well salted, other than that, not much other flavor, so i ask for some hot sauce, the waiter brought me a green sauce, i tasted, wow, soooo spicy! I guess i need to be careful later when i ask for a hot sauce in Mexico.. it's a good place for meal. There is someone playing some music instruments, pretty relaxing and nice atmosphere. Definitely a good place to come back read more

Was there just last Thursday. This la mission place tried to extract $1,000 USD from our debit card for a meal for 2. Not to mention random individuals attempting to sell you fake Cuban cigars that clearly has made in Mexico on it. I paid $20 for it, and gave a $10 donation to the live music in hopes that my wife and I could enjoy our meal in peace...without an in-house panhandler asking for some type of tip, or trying to sell something. Zero stars is my actual rating. Would not recommend any travelers to patronize this establishment. It's like being caught up in a scam matrix. Photo attached of the front of this place. read more
