    Lobster burrito

    Super rico!! El lobster burrito estuvo bien bueno vamos a regresar orta ves cuando estemos en Cozumel

    Lobster roll. Half of it.
    Mark L.

    Lobster roll - Different from those in Boston. The roll is not bad but not as buttery, the lobster is salty but not much lobster flavor. You definitely smell the grilling of the lobster shell but the meat doesn't have any grill mark. Add the sauce it'll taste better just not lobster flavor Steak and bacon roll - the steak and bacon was very delicious. Again the sauce help. Watch out for the spicy sauce, I think the Coconut margarita - Really tasty. I'm not a big alcohol/cocktail drinker but I did appreciate the taste.

    It's a small shop located on a side street off the main road in downtown Cozumel. For $16, the lobster roll came in a soft brioche roll which was delicious. It also came with some chips and a small coleslaw. The lobster meats tasted fresh. The sandwich wasn't overflowing with meats or ingredients. It's a fair value but not super impressive. Service was excellent . The ambiance was casual. After having the lobster roll at a few other places, I have to say the best one I had to date was at a stand outside of Fisherman's Warf in San Francisco. If you have to have lobster roll, then this place will do. If you can wait, I would wait.

    Lobster Roll!

    This little shop is an oasis of deliciousness, and it is not to be missed. The lobster rolls are fresh and succulent, a taste diversion that sets this eatery apart from the rest of Cozumel's restaurants. If you're a foodie, a lover of yummy lobster, or just miss the taste of Old New England, you owe it to yourself to stop by the Lobster Shack.

    Lobster bowl. Comes with slaw and chips.   Lobster bowl contains: rice, beans, lettuce, pico, avocado, and of course lobster.

    This is an island MUST! Every time we're in Cozumel we come here. Where else can you get a lobster roll for $12?! The owner is super nice! The service is outstanding, and the price is unmet. We've tried everything on the menu and it's great! The lobster roll and bowls are my personal faves however. Very filling! Cash only. You can sit inside and watch the chef work or outside and enjoy the sea breeze.

    When you are in Cozumel, you HAVE to check out the Lobster Shack. It is sooooo good. I seriously wanted to eat here every day, and I kinda wish I had. It's super casual and reasonably priced. Daniel was sooo friendly and gave us some great tips on restaurants to check out while we were staying in Cozumel. Most importantly, the food and drinks are delicious. They prepare all the food on a small griddle right in front of you. The lobster roll is chock full of lobster meat, which is served warm. I insist that you try the coconut margarita. I don't really know how to describe it other than "out of this world".

    Shrimp and lobster bowl
    Alicia W.

    Small place, conveniently located downtown off of the Melgar. We've eaten here a few times over the past several years. The food is very good. We really enjoy their chipotle and habanero sauces and I highly recommend trying their coconut margarita. Service is always quick and friendly. Yesterday I had the shrimp and lobster bowl and my husband had the surf and turf burrito. We both agreed each could've had more lobster. My bowl was primarily shrimp, and my husband's burrito was primarily steak. For the prices, they could throw in a bit more lobster.

    Lobster roll, coleslaw and a Corona

    Good food and friendly service. The lobster rolls were a plentiful snack/lunch with tasty, fresh lobster meat. It went down great with a cold Corona. The service was quick, efficient and friendly.
