While the main attractions are underwater, Cozumel has much to offer on dry land, too. The cuisine here is mainly a mélange of Mayan/Aztec and Spanish influences, but the tourist boom of the last decades has opened up new horizons and many international chefs have made the island their home, making Italian and French cuisines easy to come by.

Guido's

Guido's brings the authentic taste of Italy to the sun-kissed island of Cozumel. With top-notch Italian food from wood-oven pizza to lasagna, homemade pasta, and fresh seafood, it's easy to understand why the beloved restaurant is an institution to locals and a lovely find to tourists.

La Choza Cozumel

Set a few strides from the main square, La Choza serves typical Yucatecan-Mexican dishes like 'poc chuc' (a Mayan/Yucateco version of barbecued pork) and 'chicken mole poblano' (served with a thick sauce made with chilis, fruit, nuts, seeds, and chocolate) in an upbeat and relaxing atmosphere.

Burritos Gorditos

Burritos Gorditos is a great pit stop for something fast, cheap, yet delicious. The menu offers around 20 types of burritos, made fresh to order with the freshest ingredients—from vegetarian and vegan to traditional meat-based, as well as salad burritos, quesadillas, and tacos. Yucatan-style burritos filled with 'cochinita' (pulled pork shoulder marinated and braised in achiote paste, orange juice, and lime) are also on offer.
