Attractive setting in the Los Cinco Soles store on the waterfront at the north end of downtown, they offer some tasty and unusual dishes. People particularly like their chiles rellenos stuffed with plaintains and walnuts. Different lunch and supper menus, somewhat unusual for Cozumel.

Beautiful torch-lit beachside setting with delicious, creative food and drinks. Open only Friday and Saturday nights. Closes in low season.

Jacinta

Located in a beautifully-restored house downtown, Jacinta has very elegant indoor and outdoor seating areas and a private dining room. Some traditional Yucatecan dishes (mostly as appetizers) such as duck panuchos and aguachile as well as a range of well-executed but less traditional mains. I go for a couple of appetizers as my dinner.
