Cocina Económica Las Palmas

Probably the best local food and dishes I came across. We had visited many venues that were a bit pricier and more touristy, and the cost showed, but this place has an incredible menu selection, incredible value for your pesos, and also incredibly delicious food. Very satisfying if you want to get away from the pricier touristy joints and find more of a laid back eating experience. Staff were awesome and friendly too! I enjoyed all food joints on this visit for different reasons, but this venue probably ended up being my overall favourite place to eat on Cozumel.

We had a delicious and very filling lunch: noodle soup and chips with black beans to start, and then one of us had a plate of fish filet a la Yucateca (with rice and a salad), while the other had a tampiqueña of grilled fish (with a cheese quesadilla, guacamole, a chicken mole enchilada, rice and a small salad), plus jamaica and tamarind agua fresca to drink. Everything was delicious and a great value, and we were especially glad the charming waiter had encouraged us to get the Yucatecan-style fish. (ETA: the pork fillet with guajillo chili (aka poc chuc enchilado) and regular poc chuc (Yucatecan pork chops) are both excellent. If you have any leftovers, be like the locals and have them wrapped up to take away.)

I ordered steak fajitas for 135 pesos ($6.51 USD). Before the meal came they brought soup, chips, black bean paste, and tortillas (my only potential complaint is they were cold not heated up like every other place I’ve been here in Mexico). They had a party of 10 arrive shortly after I did (and quickly pushed tables together and got them situated) but thankfully it did not affect my service eating alone and I normally forget to write reviews but wanted to say this was one of my favorite places I’ve eaten in Cozumel. Good prices, good service, and good food. Other places in Mexico tend to forget about me when I’m dining alone or prioritize larger groups so I appreciated that this place made me feel like I got the same treatment/service of a party or 2 or 10. Cash only or you have to do a bank transfer (I only asked because I like to know my options but I paid cash). Highly recommend when looking for a more local eating experience in Cozumel. Enjoy!

This is by far our best restaurant experience for our whole trip. Amazing food exceptional staff and very good value. Highly recommend !!

Excellent service and food. Nice, simple, tasty food served hot and fresh at reasonable price.

Very tasty local food! I had breaded prawns and fish fajitas, it was delicious.

Lots food options, I like the flavor of fish ! Recommend!! Food SUPPER NICE!! (The most important!) Staff are very friendly! Price are very friendly also! I wish to have all the meal there, and try all different foods. The pics couldn’t shows how good it tastes ; )

Found this local food place from Google reviews and decided to try. Really impressive with the food and services. great meal with soup, tortillas chips, rice and A Drink! I wasn't understanding why I was being asked for drink a few times because i had my water. it was included, the lady spoke good English was very kind, the gentleman was very friendly and attentive taking care of me. I went back for the second evening in a row. Good: food, prices, services Might not for you: atmosphere like a food court, not in tourist area, they close at 6pm not really dinner time.
