We only went for a few margaritas and had a great time. Very sweet lady waited on us and she was wonderful. Food smelled delicious but we had just had a late breakfast. Service Dine in Meal type Other Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
If you ever go to Isla Mujeres, this is the place to eat. Lunch, dinner or just casual. It's on the southern end of the island. The ceviche is the best as well as many other dishes. Capitan and his family run it and are the best people. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $100–200 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Wonderful authentic Mexican restaurant. Super friendly, extensive beer 🍺 selection, plenty of cocktail 🍹 options, terrific guacamole 🥑 fabulous fish 🐠 tacos 🌮 and they make their own spicy 🌶 sauces and oil. They only take cash and take US dollars 💵 The terminus of the Islenos bus 🚌 route #3 is right outside so you can come here for an amazing time for only $2 round trip on the bus 🚌 Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $1–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Awesome hidden little gem at the end of the road. Great food and cheap drinks. Had an awesome lunch here while taking a break on our golf cart rides around the island. They have a cool little dock you can walk down as well.

What a hidden gem literally at the end of the road. Glad I was able to find this spot, completely off the beaten path of Isla and gave it a try. The reviews are right - it’s seriously good, homemade food from gracious hosts. Chose your seat, order your meal - we had the fish and shrimp with butter and garlic and this was finger licking good. The guacamole was good but needed some salt. My spicy margarita was spiced to the “t” and oh so delicious. I would definitely visit this place again. We enjoyed the entertainment of the blue crabs. An amazing value and chill experience for $30 USD. I hope you find my review helpful. If so, please give me a thumbs up. Thank you.

Stumbled upon here by accident while scooting about the island, and what a gem! We only stopped for cocktails which were lovely, and the table next to us had food which smelt and looked amazing! Service Dine in Meal type Other Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Nice cold beers and tasty Mexican food. We tried the fish tacos and the butter & garlic shrimp. The seafood was fresh and well cooked. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $200–300
Isla Mujeres' best kept secret. This is run by a wonderful husband & wife couple that are churning out a small menu of strong flavors. The guac was the best my wife and I had tasted on the island. Many people shy away from this place because of the shady looking location (tourists! bah!) but the food and friends you'll find there more than make up for it. You'll also see actual crabs walking around like they own the place! Just a wonderful little restaurant.

No frills chill spot with simple but tasty menu. Good selection of drinks and beers. Friendly staff. Off the beaten path and seems to be more frequented by boat, has a dock.
We had great time. Wonderful people and atmosphere. The fish and shrimp tacos were great. Cold beer!!! Don’t hesitate to take the long ride down there. We will be back soon.
