“My boys and I had dinner here on Saturday after the music festival. There was a short 15-minute wait to get a table, but it was well worth the wait. Our server was wonderful, and on top of everything. We never had to ask for anything, and refills were on the table before we were out. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the raspberry margaritas are the best I've ever had. Definitely going back on my next trip! Best meal we had on the Island this weekend!“

“Amazing food, amazing waitress, amazing experience. Cozumel made me one of the best dishes I've ever eaten.

I've been to bald head for half a decade and we mostly make our food at home but I am a fiend for Mexican/Latin food. I was happy when they opened and enjoyed my dinner last year. It was great.

I've watched them grow on Instagram and google reviews, and I guess at some point they ran a special for Aguachile de Ribeye and it was all I wanted to eat, it looked amazing.

When I went to dinner there tonight, I showed Angela the picture of that dish and she was so kind and gracious in telling me it's not a standard dish. However, she knew the chef well and she said it'd be unlikely he could make it, but she would still ask regardless. He ultimately said yes. Another person at my table also ordered the dish because of how passionately I wanted it.

Honestly, it's one of the best things I've ever eaten.

It was amazing. And Angela was so kind to bring the chef out, I owed him a handshake for going above and beyond.

Angela. Amazing. The chef. Awesome. The dish, the absolute best. It's honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten.“

“Pros: Great customer service, nice personality, food pretty good, corn ribs amazing! Cons: took about an hour to wait in line and receive food. Online ordering down, didn’t answer their phones. I think I had 2 little shrimp in my shrimp taco – portions pretty small. Didn’t give us the burrito we ordered. Might try again next year for lunch.“
