Playa Lancheros "La casa del Tikinxic"

Isla Mujeres Travel Guide

"A beachfront restaurant rooted in local culinary history, founded by Rogelio Magaña—known as “El Chilero”—who popularized the island’s signature tikin xic fish well before the area was connected by regular ferries. The tikin xic, painted with rust-red achiote paste and marinated in sour orange, has headlined the menu for decades and remains the defining dish here." - David Shortell David Shortell David Shortell is a journalist based in Mexico City.
