It was my husband’s birthday and Cozumel was an unscheduled stop for the evening. After browsing through numerous pictures and reviews, this restaurant really stood out. We were not disappointed! The food was amazing. Especially the Mahi Mahi. Unbelievably fresh and infused with wonderful ingredients. They even brought my husband a birthday shot of tequila. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling to Cozumel. They have 2 locations and one is with walking distance of the port.

Puerta Maya was actually closed, even though they accepted a reservation. We ended up paying double for a cab to take us to the other location. Not cool.

I’m going to assume this place is average. We walked to our reservation only to find the entire pier, including Pancho’s closed. I would recommend they update their hours of availability. I probably won’t try to eat here again.

Had the fish tacos, they were a bit bland! Husband had the mahi mahi cooked in a Veracruz sauce that was absolutely delicious and the service was great very kind and attentive.

Fresh mango margarita is the best!! Chips and salsa you can make a meal out of just those two. Gotta try the shrimp!! Big and plump. We go here every time we take a cruise.

We sat outside under the awning and watched the cruise ships as the island breezes cooled the warmth of the setting sun over the Caribbean. Most of the activity dies down after 5:00pm in Puerta Maya, so it was relatively quiet and contributed to our romantic dining experience. Our server Luis was attentive to our needs, assisted us in selecting entrees and was very friendly. The entree menu is limited to a dozen choices and allows the chefs to focus on creating outstanding meals. Our dinners were amazing. The restaurant is fashioned like an old Spanish mission adorned with bronze lights and decor. Highly recommended.

Great food. It would have been helpful if, on the restaurant's website, it specified that the restaurant is located in the specific cruise terminal at Puerto Maya. My cruise ship docked at the other terminal (it was a short walk to the restaurant) but we had a heck of a time finding the restaurant, because we thought it was in the terminal our ship had docked in.
