We've known Miguel for years and love to stop in and see him when we are on Isla. He's a great host and loves to have fun with his guests. There's usually live music played, dancing, and spanglish spoken. Great place to make new friends or meet up with old friends. Lucky for Miguel, drinking and driving isn't a huge... More

We met Miguel over 20 years ago on our first visit to Isla Mujeres, Mexico. Since then he has become a friend and has opened his own restaurant/bar and has a devoted following of guests. It is a small place a half block off Av. Hildago on Av. Madero. Miguel's Moon Lite is a favorite spot to have a drink,... More

Miguel's is a must-stop if you want a fun atmosphere with strong and inexpensive drinks. We pretty much went there every night to drink Ron Punches and Moon Lite Specials (we nicknamed Blackout Specials because of how strong they are). Our waiter Carlos spoke very little English but was a good sport. We will definitely be back to Miguel's!

Miguel's is a staple meeting place for drinks. Why because its a great bar. If you are from Minnesota you will feel at home here with all the bling on the walls.

My husband and I love going here for drinks, Miguel makes one of the best drinks on the Island! I've been going to Miguel's now for 11 yrs. and always enjoy coming back. I like the Pina Colada's and my husband like the Mijo's!

This was our second trip to Miguel's Moonlight. Miguel is alway so friendly and very happy to see everyone. He make the absolute BEST pomegranate margaritas! The atomosphere at the moonlight is unlike anything on Isla. It's very small but you feel at home when you visit. Great music and videos. This is a great place to go with a... More

Members of my family have been friends with Miguel for quite some time. His newer location on a side street is great. You're not a customer but a friend that he is glad to see. Entertaining, hospitable and yes, patient. The Mexican Frank Sinatra (can't remember his name) is usually on the TV, the pool table is cheap and the... More

I've read really good reviews about Miguel's. I went there mid afternoon and they said they were open but it took forever to get my food- even by Mexican standards- and it wasn't that good. I'd be willing to try it again sometime but would definitely go at a meal time. I ordered the coconut shrimp and found it to... More
