Where to Eat in Cozumel
Torinos Pizza & Trattoria
$$ Pizza, Pasta, Salads
Homemade sauce, homemade dough, homemade pasta, homemade everything! Torinos is a clear step above when it comes to affordable and delicious pizza and more. Thin crust pizzas brought to a bubble in the brick oven are made with premium ingredients — fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh everything, no canned mushrooms here. A variety of salads and pastas will keep you coming back to try everything.
El Rincon de Addy
Brunch, Garden Cafe
A charming secret garden setting tucked away on a quiet street, a brief five minutes from town center. Lucious fresh juices, house-baked cakes, seasonal fruits, egg plates, and their signature silver dollar hotcakes are divine — try the huevos motuleños. The owner is an incredible artist and has hand-painted almost every surface in this garden oasis.
Casa Denis
Mexican, Mayan, Yucatecan
The oldest restaurant in Cozumel, founded in 1945, with hand-painted murals in its courtyard. Simple, affordable local food from traditional Mexican fare to Yucatan specialties, conveniently located right off the main town square. The Cochinita Pibil tacos are especially delicious.
Casa Cuzamil
Seafood, Mexican, Bar
For inexpensive local seafood, Casa Cuzamil is hard to beat — ceviches, coconut shrimp, grilled fish, shrimp tacos, and more make it a favorite stop after diving or any time of day. The sports bar area has all the top games, and the upstairs terrace is a wonderful place to enjoy the fresh local catch.
El Coffee Cozumel
Coffeehouse, Baked Goods, Cafe
A tasty place for affordable breakfasts, pastries, and coffee drinks. This diner-inspired coffeehouse prepares a huge variety of fresh-baked cakes, cookies, pies, breads, and quiches daily, with a laid-back atmosphere, local art on the walls, and wifi.

La Candela
Mexican, Caribbean, Latin
Home cooking at a reasonable price — locals flock to this open-air restaurant for traditional lunches. This is not a tacos-and-quesadillas spot; these are full-on, family-style Mexican dishes prepared and served hot to your table. Located in the heart of town.

Novena Ola
Caribbean, Seafood, Fusion
Located atop the Cozumel Art Museum on a gorgeous veranda overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Chef Sergio draws on his Yucatecan roots and 20 years of fine-dining experience to create an artful collection of unique dishes, from breakfast to cocktails.
