    Awesome and authentic Mexican food at reasonable prices. Very good service and very clean. Second floor walk up in the middle of the shopping district. Margarita was potent and tasty.

    Tasty Margaritas With a View

    The upstairs view overlooking the water was beautiful. We had some of the most potent and tasty Margaritas of our entire visit. The appetizers were fine, nothing special. The menu was very reasonable. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant wasn't busy in the late afternoon. Definitely worth a stop when you're in Cozumel and it's close to the ferry.

    Basically a giant balcony. During the day its much more relaxed.

    Not bad, but I was surprised by the 5 star yelp rating. Limited menu, fairly touristy, and more expensive than it warrants.

    This particular bar caters to the crew members of incoming cruises in Cozumel. It is within walking…read moredistance to the Punta Langosta cruise terminal. Since our ship docked elsewhere else on the island, we had to take a taxi ride over which was relatively inexpensive. The menu is cutesy in that the food and drinks are named after crew positions on a cruise ship. I ordered some chips and guacamole but was not very impressed. The guacamole was literally ground avocados only. I was rather disappointed. My friends were complaining about how watered down their drinks were. It took forever to get our drinks. It also took forever to get and pay for our bill. The only saving grace for this place is the views of the water but that goes so far, even with a couple of drinks. This bar is convenient if you are staying at Hotel Barracuda.

    We've been coming to Cozumel for over a decade and have been to No Name many times. Today when we…read moresat down we were told it was $42 minimum consumption, per person. We literally came here two days ago and they didn't tell us that. We had burgers and a few drinks with no issues. Today the server asked us first before she even said hello, are you here for vacation. We said yes. Maybe she thought we were cruise ship passengers and didn't know any better. Were not, we grabbed up our bags and left. We won't be back. We refuse to patronize businesses who try and rip off tourists. It's unfortunate but there are plenty of other bars in Cozumel.

We tried a few of their mixed drinks, all are absolutely delicious, well made with quality ingredients. $10-$15 per drink is not cheap for Mexico, but this is a touristy town and the shitty cruise bars are all expensive. What we like the most is their mezcal quality and variety , which is what we came for. They have more "in the back" somewhere since the bar is really small. Food: meh. Not fresh nor exciting. Don't bother. Ambience: this is a really small area, 2 tables and a bar sitting. At max 10-12 people elbow to elbow. Cool decorations though, not at all touristy and "cheap" like most of Cozumel bar scene. We really enjoyed our visit. Service: we came on a Friday early afternoon and there was only one other tourist group. The bartender was great! Really young (20 yo!!!!), but apparently he has been doing the job for more than 5 years. (I guess the legal drinking age in Mexico is just a suggestion) Overall this was one of the highlight of our visit. Will come back here again if we are ever in the area.

    What a treat. Stopped in on my last night in Cozumel and…read morewas very impressed with the sophistication of it considering it's so close to the Malecon. The selection of agave based liquor was immense and Israel was a wealth of knowledge. I tried at least 8 different agave products. Unfortunately we had eaten before we came but did try the traditional snacks (I.e, bugs) with guacamole and the coconut ice cream which was amazing.

    The servers here are friendly and it's a great location on the melgar, but I was so sick after…read moreeating the seafood nachos last night I thought I may have to go to the hospital. I know it was the nachos because my husband and I ate the same things yesterday with the exception of the imitation crab on the nachos. When they sat them down and I saw it was imitation crab I was disappointed but it was late and I was hungry. My husband ate maybe a few bites and he picked the imitation crab off. He said the nachos tasted disgusting to him. We went back to our room, and about 3 hours later I woke up and immediately started projectile vomiting. I spent most of the night in the bathroom feeling like I was going to die. I thought the imitation crab tasted a little off, but just chalked it up to being different than what I'm used to in the states. Big MISTAKE. I've managed to slow down in the vomiting and trips to the bathroom but I still feel awful. Nauseated, headache (probably from dehydration), stomach pain and back pain....I assume that's from how hard I was retching. We will never go back. Food poisoning is not something I give any additional chances for. If you've had it, you understand.

It takes awhile and he comes back with the saucer of 3 small onion rings. We had half the food so we got one and half onion rings. We was of course still hungry after my husband keeps trying to make eye contact to our waiter several times he finally comes over we ordered the seafood nachos, what a huge mistake, they come out with huge mushy chunks of imitation crab meat, and small pieces of shrimp and whatever kinda sauce they put on it was tasteless. We picked the fake crab meat off cause it was just plain nasty. We had 2 margaritas a piece served in beautiful glassware but not a good drink at all. The server was going to the bathroom washing his face after eating I seen him do this 2 times. We gave him a 10% tip and he looked pissed or shock. It was a beautiful view but nothing would ever make us go there again. We have been to Cozumel 13 times always wanted to try it. This place is an overpriced nasty food trap for tourists. We are here for a month and would have eaten here a few times if it was any good. After reading the other review about the fake crab meat we are thankful we didn't eat it and get food poisoning too. I wish I took pictures our meal and drinks was over 100 dollars and we have no problem spending money on some good food, drinks and service.
