Gorgeous little spot in amongst the palm trees right on the beach. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. The carafe of chilled white wine was delicious. We had mahi mahi grilled with garlic and it was the best fish we have had here, perfectly...cooked and juicy. Even my husband enjoyed it and he wouldn’t usually choose fish! The house salad had a great dressing. Overall the perfect spot for a perfect dinner.More

Service was mixed. One waiter was really friendly, one was quite moody. Food was ok. I wouldn’t order the coconut curry again. It was very bland. The seafood cazuela was ok with the wine sauce. Some of the seafood was a little hard. The side...dishes are mashed potato or rice. I wouldn’t chose to repeat either dish again if I’m honest. It was also pretty expensive for the meal. Think the other sodas around give food that’s much better value for money.More

We had a lovely romantic dinner here. It fills up fast and there is good reason for that. They have a creative menu as well as the standard seafood you typically expect in Montezuma. The fresh mahi mahi with curry and bananas was delicious. Wine...offering is limited but still good. Raises you are on the beach! Enjoy the amazing sounds and views nestled in the palm trees. We loved the blue music too! I e if our favourites in Montezuma.More

We went here for dinner on our last night before we had to travel home. This is our favorite restaurant in Montezuma. We had shrimp kabobs and the filet minon. Both were excellent. The service was also very attentive and the view is beautiful. Can't...wait til the next time we are here.More

Beautiful location and excellent service in Montezuma. We were greeted immediately and seated in a lovely area overlooking the sea. I have nothing bad to say about the service, menu or location. However, due to the fact I got terrible food poisoning, I had to...rate this place at a 2/5. 😞 Service was friendly and very efficient. Our margaritas were perfect! We then ordered the ceviche for a share appetizer. It was not what we expected as it was thinly sliced raw fish and served with fresh bread but certainly not the ceviche we’re used to (but not bad). We then each ordered beef fillets for dinner. My husband had his simply grilled and I decided to have the pepper steak. BIG MISTAKE! Although both tasted FANTASTIC, I ended up (with my pepper steak) waking up at 1AM with extreme food poisoning! I was vomitting for 6 hours straight and also had severe diarrhea. My husband and I had eaten everything exactly the same all day. Our only difference was at dinner when I had the pepper steak and that’s when I got violently ill. It all tasted fine at the time but clearly, something was not good with the pepper sauce. 🤮 I then spoke to a few other people staying at the same place in Montezuma, and learned that someone else also had sever food poisoning recently after eating the pepper steak. I’m thinking there may be some issues in the kitchen with keeping this pepper sauce “food safe”. So if you’d like a nice dinner out in Montezuma, Cocolores is a beautiful place with wonderful cocktails and service, but AVOID the pepper steak unless you don’t mind having sever food poisoning and losing a day of your vacation! Hopefully, all the other menu items are fine! 🙏More

We loved the festive vibe, the friendly service, and above all the food, in this lively place. We each had different kinds of curries and they were both delicious. Tip: make a reservation even for a weeknight. They seem to be packed all the time,...and no wonder.More
