    Mahi Mahi in garlic sauce
    Poom C.

    This restaurant is located next to (south) the Westin Cozumel. We had an early dinner so it was quiet & we had excellent service. The mixed cerviche was fresh & flavorful. The garlic Mahi Mahi was perfectly cooked & so delicious. My wife lover her Baja Shrimp Tacos. The restaurant has a more local flavor & definitely worth a try.

    Seared tuna tostada. The last of 3 that was left for me to eat.  Their green sauce is wonderful and packs a nice kick.

    We are staying at the Westin and overlooked this due to so few reviews and we decided to have lunch there today. It was amazing. Great prices, great service and great food. We had seared tuna tostadas and they were awesome. We have eaten our way around Cozumel and we're very impressed. Only downfall was a limited cerveza selection, but that can be overlooked when service and food is that good. We'll be back.

    What I like most about this restaurant is that the staff are very service oriented. We arrived during the closing time after flying. We were able to obtain drinks and a snack to hold us over for dinner. Also when we had to be at the airport to catch our flight out, the staff prepared an excellent TO-GO meal that was the envy of the airport. I can specifically recommend the following entrees: rib-eye steak, Playa Azul hamburger. salmon dijon, Veracruz lobster, and fettucine pesto. With any wonderful restaurant, there is always something that be taken to the next level and this restaurant is no exception. What I think could be better is the mosquito and insect situation in that very little pest management is visible. I would specifically recommend repellent (e.g. Citronella), trap products (e.g. Dynatrap) and air pressure differentials. Overall, I enjoyed my time there and look forward to returning in the future.

    It was with great expectations that we went to Bindiya this evening.   The reviews that we found…read morespoke highly of this new restaraunt just a few blocks from the center of San Miguel.   As people who spend a month per year in Cozumel this diversity was welcomed. Walking into an empty restaurant was our first sign of concern, but when the lady in charge didn't get off her butt to greet us concerns began to grow.  We entered anyway wanting to believe the reviews we read - they must have been paid reviews on yelp.. My pina colada was the worst I've had - EVER!  Tried to order but they didn't have Nan bread.  Seriously, an indian (dot) restaurant without nan.  Tried for plain basmati rice - no again.  They charged $5 for some flavored rice.  Have you ever been to an Indian restaurant that did not serve rice with the main dishes?  But not having lamb - no lamb at all - that section of the menu was out.  So it was chicken or fish or some unrecognizable vegetarian stuff with potatos. So we defaulted to two chicken dishes, Murgh chicken curry & Butter chicken along with an order of Jerra rice (had to buy rice!).. The dishes were VERY bland.  The murgh curry wasn't bad though and we did eat it.  It just lacked any real curry flavor.  The butter chicken was unlike any butter chicken I've ever eaten in any country in Asia or even the US..  It was almost Italian in nature with the overload of tomato sauce in it.  I've never had Butter chicken that tasted like tomato sauce.   It was horrid and we left over half of it on the table, along with that skanky pina colada. On the bright side the decor of the restaurant looks nice and the prices were not over the top.  More expensive than the value as it turns out. A very disappointing experience...

    I have wanted to try Indian cuisine in Mexico since I landed..just to experience it in a different…read morecountry!! Finally my family agreed and in Cozumel , I yelped and found an Indian restaurant. It is about 15 minutes inside , away from ferry. The decor was inviting and excellent.the host was courteous. We ordered, salty lassi , lemonade and mango lassi.we loved our drinks. After that we ordered, chicken tikka masala and chicken biryani and garlic naans. My kids finally thanked me for taking them for Indian cuisine as they loved the food. The chicken tikka was perfectly spiced for my kids taste and biryani for my more spicier taste. The owner also came to visit with us on her day off . We appreciated the welcoming gesture!! We thanked the chef Sanjay for making our visit memorable with his delicious cooking . Will be back when we are back to Cozumel!!

    Amazing vegan foods. We ordered the nacho for appetizer,…read morethe sauce was so delicious and great way to start out the meal. For main course, we got 6 different things plus a pizza to go, probably way too much foods for 4 people but the leftover was much appreciated even though we stayed at an all inclusive resort. Our least two fav was the pizza Margarita and the tamale. Pizza didn't have pizza sauce and wasn't crunchy, tamale was a little tough. Most favorite was the dessert. It was to die for. So presentable and delicious. Not too sweet which I loved. The main courses which hit the spot were: gringa al pastor, tacos al pastor, super queka, sopes, and enmoladas.

    Last Vegan stop in Cancun! We were not disappointed…read more Wonderfully greeted with friendly services. Immaculate and a fresh spot; love the vibe, decor, & resources to checkout.

We had: -Raw cheese, half and half flavor, chipotle and original. (appetizer) -Alfredo Pasta -Queka (I had to google what this was) The Queka was a truly authentic, fresh, and inspired Aztec flavors! Naomi was our waiter; she was very accommodating and pleasant throughout the whole experience. We all had terrific conversations!
