Honestly, it was just very average Mexican food. I came with a group of 8. I only managed to take a pic of my shrimp tacos but we also have beef tongue, shrimp, and shrimp ceviche. We must've came on an unlucky day because it tasted off? Not like rancid bad, but it def wasn't fresh. The service was fine. I felt like they were kinda being pushy on ordering more expensive stuff or asking us if we wanted to add this or that. They accidentally brought out 6 Mexican cokes instead of 4, and still charged us. Overall, I wouldn't recommend if you're looking for quality. It's a touristy place, with an inflated price.

My husband usually gets a whole fried fish, but none were available on our last visit so he tried the fish fajitas instead. They were fresh and delicious. I tried the chile relleno and it was one of the best I've had anywhere, which is saying a lot because I love a good chile relleno. The chips and pico de gallo were also fresh and hard to stop eating. And the margaritas are always great. The staff is friendly and efficient, and they have several folks that speak English when out limited Spanish isn't enough. We definitely think it's worth a stop and recommend giving it a try.

My wife wanted to drain the tank -- go figure -- and we happened upon this place while driving along the west side of Cozumel, where the waves are harsh and the water is beautiful. This place operates on propane and solar panels ... seriously. Electricity service stops a few miles to the east. But these guys handle it like pros. First, the tacos are freshly prepared in a kitchen that's no bigger than the one in my RV. The beers and mixed drinks come from a freezer that appears to be stocked daily with ice (from civilization ... a few miles away.) The folks working the counters are humorous and kind. The service here is impeccable -- we ordered, then found a table. They made sure we had everything we wanted from there. Tacos were outstanding ... freshly made. Brews were cold. What a great little place!

We walked up to the restaurant when heading back to our room to have one large group being escorted in for dinner, so we asked the Headwaiter Nathander if there was any availability, since we didn't make reservations. He was kind enough to get us in after about 10 - 15 minutes, which is really good for not making a reservation. We were seated at a comfortable quiet table. Leonardo was our waiter who took care of us, and was on top of everything. We chose the items from the online menu - I had the Mar Y Pollo, which was a plate of divine chicken, shrimp and rice. It looked like a small portion initially, but I polished it off and was full. My son had some huge bowl of corn, steak and vegetable and boasted how good it was. All in all a very good dining experience. Very good food and very good service. We would eat here again on our next visit to Fiesta Americana!

It's low key and like all the others, dress is casual. I ordered the salmon and avocado salad to start. It was very minimal and very tasty. Everything on the plate was chilled-including the batter fried avocado. The salmon was moist and it was a perfect size for a starter. For dinner I ordered the chicken with poblano mole sauce. Omg. It was delish!! The mole had just the right amount of spice and was not too rich or heavy. It was accompanied by a small side of rice and some veggies. Dessert was awesome. I had the Mexican chocolate mousse. It had a few bits of blue cheese in it-an odd combo that worked well. It was topped with a dice of fig and a raspberry. I walked away from dinner happy and not overstuffed!

The service is quick, the prices are incredibly reasonable, and the food is consistently delicious. Before your meal even arrives, you're served a plate of fresh radishes, cucumber, and lime wedges, plus a selection of toppings including tomatoes, onions, and both a green and red salsa. Unfortunately this location didn't give us the cactus like the other locations did. The red salsa was my favourite, it paired perfectly with the tacos and had just the right amount of heat and flavour. The standout for me was the al pastor taco. The meat was incredibly flavourful with crispy edges, a smoky char, and the perfect balance of savoury spice and sweet pineapple. It was easily one of the best al pastor tacos I had in Playa del Carmen. I also tried the sirloin taco and the chicken breast plate, both of which were excellent. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and the quality was impressive, especially for the price. El Fogón absolutely lived up to the hype. If you're looking for authentic, delicious tacos and grilled meats that won't break the bank, this is a must visit. I loved it so much that I ended up eating at all three locations and every visit was just as good as the last.

We visited Mr. Sancho's Beach Club in Cozumel during a cruise stop and had a fantastic experience…read more The beach club is about a 15-20 minute taxi ride from the cruise port where the ships dock. When we got off the ship there was a line of taxis ready to go and the ride cost $20 for two people one way. When we arrived, the staff greeted us and guided us to the front desk where we checked in for our reservation. I highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time because it definitely helps expedite your entrance. One thing worth noting is that when we booked online it didn't show cabanas available, but when we arrived the host checked and was able to get us into one. I highly recommend getting a cabana if one is available because it gives you a nice private area to relax. That said, there are also plenty of tables with covered umbrellas that provide shade from the sun. What really stood out about this place was the level of service. It was incredibly attentive. I honestly don't think we ever waited more than a few minutes before someone came by asking if we needed another drink or more food. Our servers were Juan and Pops/Eric and both of them were fantastic. It felt like every time I turned my head one of them was checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. They offer all-inclusive food and you can either go up to the buffet or order directly from the menu and have it delivered to your table or cabana. The property also has multiple pools, massage services, swim-up areas, and gift shops around the resort. At one point what appeared to be a manager came by and asked how we heard about the place and checked in on how our experience was going. That really reinforced how focused they are on service. The location is right on the beach so you get beautiful ocean views while enjoying unlimited food and drinks throughout the day. Overall Mr. Sancho's delivers a great beach day experience with excellent service and it's definitely a place I would visit again when returning to Cozumel.

I will more than likely NOT be back again. Before I begin my thorough review, I would like to call out JULIO who works the adult side pool bar. He was disgustingly rude to me and others during my visit. When I asked for 4 drinks and only received 3, I reminded him I had 1 more which he then yelled at me about "you're not the only one in the pool" which was crazy because I spoke politely and patiently waited to inform him I was missing a drink. Any chance he got to show attitude, HE DID. And TO ALL SKIN TONES AND RACES in the pool! Absolutely sad and ridiculous, I didn't even want to be in the pool anymore because of him. I will instead shout out CHISMAS for being absolutely kind and having great customer service on the other side of the bar where the swings were. He heard how Julio treated me and told me to only get my drinks from him instead and I'm thankful because he was kind, my drinks tasted better and he was a perfect bartender with great customer communication skills! Thank you Chismas! Now, upon arrival and paying for our day passes, staff were hasty and not as friendly as they once were. Even the taxi driver we had on the ride over from port was very minimal in conversation; maybe only said 2 words. I was hoping once we got to Mr sanchos the staff would be different, but they weren't; they were also minimal in conversation, rude, and basically just trying to move us along. When we finally found OUR OWN table with shade (no help from any staff at all) it took over 40 mins to finally get a waiter to even bring us menus or serve us. Yet, when a big party of white people came, they were shifting around tables and chairs trying to take over the little area we were in and immediately were given menus and serviced by a waiter. Mind you, we also had a big group with us and all the staff were making it seem like a big deal for us to have a large table/accommodating area and didn't want us to move any tables or chairs...interesting, right? Don't worry tho because we didn't let the other large party take over the area and we happily moved tables to accommodate us, just as they did :) The menu they have now is significantly smaller than it used to be. One side of drinks and just one side of food. Wow. Food was alright, I tried the buffet and ordered off the menu; nothing to rave about at all. I feel like the whole vibe of this place has just went down and the quality does not match the price as being worth it. This looks like it'll be my last time coming to Mr Sancho's; I'll be going to one of the other newly built all inclusive beaches next time in Cozumel port. This experience SUCKED 2/10 (2 points strictly for Chismas the bartender).
