Welcome to Cozumel Getaways, where getting away from it all feels like coming home . . . to paradise.

About Us : Eating

No vacation is complete without great food, and Cozumel is no exception. The many restaurants offer everything from pizza and pasta to traditional Yucatan dishes like lime soup, pork sandwiches and empanadas. There’s something to suit every palate and satisfy every appetite. And naturally the seafood is as fresh as can be.
Nearly all the restaurants use purified bottled water and ice, but feel free to ask if there’s any doubt.

Here are a few of our favorite places to dine out in Cozumel:

  • Restaurant Museo is located above the Cozumel Museum on Avenue Rafael E. Melgar between 6th and 8th. Open from 7 am to 2 pm, Restaurant Museo only serves breakfast, but the food is good and the view of the harbor is exquisite.
  • La Mission is located on 55th and offers good food, great service and an unbelievable ambiance. Situated next to a historic mansion, the beautifully manicured grounds cover about one city block. You’ll feel like you’re walking onto the set of a movie! A small zoo allows the kids to see a few lions, monkeys, birds etc. Dinner for two costs around $60.00.
  • Guido’s Restaurant is located on Avenue Rafael E. Melgar 23 between 6th and 8th. All this Italian restaurant’s dishes are very good, particularly the lasagna, pasta and shrimp, and pizza. Dinner for two costs around $60.00.
  • Jeanie’s Waffle House is located on Avenue Rafael E. Melgar Ave and 11th Street between 9th and 11th. Specializing in breakfast served around the clock, Jeanie’s serves good waffles, pancakes and other gringo dishes. Breakfast for two is around $20.00.
  • Ernesto’s Fajitas Factory has two locations: at 141 Rafael E. Melgar, and at the International Pier - Carretera Sur Km. 4. Breakfast is served from 7 am to 1 pm, and lunch and dinner are served from 11 am to 11 pm. This Tex-mex restaurant serves great fajitas and other dishes at very affordable prices.
  • Prima Pasta is located at 109 Ave. Rosado Salas. Open from 4 pm to 11 pm, this rooftop garden restaurant specializes in Italian seafood and pasta. Great atmosphere.

Here are a few other restaurants some of our guests have recommended:

 

 

  • Chely's Loncheria is located on the west side of the Mercado Centro on Salas between 20th and 25th. Run by Daisy and her husband Estaban, Chely’s is open from 7 am to 9 pm. The filete de pescado is really outstanding. Ask Daisy to make her famous guacamole — it’s outrageously good. Dinner for two runs about $10.00.
  • El Pique Taco House is located cross the street from the Francis of Assisi Market on 30th Ave. It serves some of the best tacos on the island, as well as an excellent frijoles dish. Dinner for two is about $10.00.
  • La Conchita Seafood is located on 65th Street between 23rd and 25th. It serves really good, really fresh seafood. Dinner for two, with drinks, costs around $15.
  • El Laurel is located on 11th Street between 25th and 30th, just about a half block south of the Retranca Market near Cozumel Getaways. This small eatery features only about six tables in the rear of the convenience store that the family operates. All the food is cooked in the family kitchen and offerings vary daily. No matter the dish, though, it is always delicious. Lunch for two costs around $10.00.
  • La Verenda Restaurant and Bar is located on 4th Street between 5th and 10th Avenue. Hosted and owned by Ernesto and Jan, they use only the best ingredients, have a great chef, and turn out delicious, creative dishes. Dinner for two with drinks, appetizer, entree, and dessert costs around $100.00—and it’s worth every penny!
