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.

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!

Such a gem of a place! The camarones de coco and dedos de pescado coco are amazing. All meals come with a free drink, soup, tortilla chips, frijoles, and salsas so you’re actually getting a whole meal. The staff are incredibly sweet and humble :)

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.

We found out abt this place from someone local named Jose. This place is not maxican but local and authentic and a def must try. The Tamarind and hibiscus drinks were also superbly refreshing. If u r coming to Cozumel, don't miss it. it's only $15 and less than 15 minutes drive from the cruise port each way and for a lil tip u can request the cab driver to wait for u. Most are very nice and agree right away.

The daughters of 4 sisters operate this Loncheria opened 30 years ago essentially in a shack on this same spot. They serve typical island fare at very affordable prices. The lunches include in the price a soup, the plate and a flavored water drink they prepare fresh daily. There is menu with most everything you could imagine wanting plus plate specials that change daily. Monday one of the specials is Frijol con Puerco which is only prepared on Mondays and very few places offer it anymore. It's delicious here! In September each year they offer the traditional Chiles en Nogada once weekly which I had today and it was superb! One of the island GOATS as far as I'm concerned! They've been feeding me for decades!

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.
