If you like to find clean, local type restaurants, you will like El Moro. They are very service oriented and the food is great. It is typical of Mexican cooking with Mole, whole fish, and homemade salsa. The building isn't great to look at and you might think "what have I done?". But it is really pretty good for the... more

If you want a taste of real cozumel cuisine you should check out this place that is well away from all the tourist touts. We had the Mexican Platter for 2 which was $43 USD and it was out of this world. It starts with him bringing out home made tortilla chips and salsa, then a good size plate of... more

El Moro is our favorite restaurant on the island. It’s a local place that welcomes everyone with open arms. (Seriously) You won’t find a friendlier staff or better food then at El Moro. Take a cab, as it’s not near the waterfront or any of the southern hotels. El Moro does food and service better then anywhere else on the... more

Truly this place is hard to find. I would concur that one can find similiar food in a better setting closer to downtown. The waiters and moma are very, very nice and have hugs when you leave. The complementary after dinner Mayan liqueur was a special treat. If they would get rid of the air hockey table, florescent lights and... more

We went there TWICE on our 4 days in Cozumel. Ray is the best waiter on the island and treated us right. Can't wait to go back. more

It is up in the residential area. The food is average but the prices are very competitive. I just don't think it is worth the effort to go there. It is tough to find. You can get the same food closer to downtown. more

If you want to experience Mexican food like a local then you should try El Moro. This is definitely off the tourist path as it is about 18 blocks inland and is located in what looks like a residential neighborhood. You will definitely need to take a cab and they all know where it is. The food is very good... more
