The dishes guests come back for

Coastal favorites and family recipes, prepared fresh daily with premium seafood and signature spices. Here are a few of the plates Cozumel is known for.

  • Molcajete Cozumel

    Sizzling · For sharing

    Our showstopper — a volcanic stone bowl arriving at the table sizzling with grilled steak, chicken, shrimp, chorizo, cactus, and melted cheese in a rich house sauce.

  • Camarones a la Diabla

    Seafood Spicy

    Plump shrimp simmered in our fiery chile-de-árbol “diabla” sauce, served with rice and beans. Order it with extra fried jalapeños the way the regulars do.

  • Filete Veracruzano

    Seafood

    Fresh tilapia filet bathed in the classic Veracruz sauce of tomato, onion, olives, and capers — bright, coastal, and beautifully balanced.

  • Shrimp Fajitas

    From the grill

    Shrimp grilled with peppers and onions, delivered to your table still sizzling, with warm tortillas, rice, beans, and all the fixings.

  • Piña Cozumel

    Signature · Seafood

    A fresh pineapple hollowed and filled with sautéed seafood in a creamy house sauce — a sweet-and-savory centerpiece you’ll want a photo of first.

  • Authentic Street Tacos

    Classics

    Soft tacos built on scratch-made tortillas, topped with fresh cilantro, onion, and a squeeze of lime — simple, honest, and exactly right.

Great food, friendly staff and wonderful owner. I ordered the Camarones a la Diabla as always with extra fried jalapeños. This place has it all, even vegetarian options with heat and spice for all. Everything is amazing here, including the steak dishes, and the portions are big. The chips and salsa are authentic — truly made from scratch and not watered down.
