Pescaderia San Carlos

Voy a haver pocos comentarios es caro y es muy rico! La atención es un pco lenta, sin embargo se nota que todo es fresco y bien cocinado.

This place was the highlight of our 2 week trip. Amazing Conch ceviche, fried fish and guacamole. Wait staff were all very friendly. Awesome ambiance dining in the back courtyard. They played live music for us as well. Can’t recommend this place enough.

This hidden gem was 5 mins from my Villa in Cozumel, on our second day there we took a little walk. As soon as we walked up to the counter we were greeted by the owner Diego who was preparing for the day. He was so friendly we wanted to buy fish to take home to cook so we bought 3 grouper filets he charged us 110 pesos about $ 10 Canadian. We cooked it up and it was absolutely fantastic. He gave us his business card and said if you need anything give me a call, that was much appreciated. We went back 2 nights later and ate inside, you receive as your starter chips with picco de gallo and habenaro hot sauce and fish ceviche. We ordered a small conch ceviche a Mexican fish filet and the Mexican shrimp, the meal was so tasty and fresh. This food is made with love and pride keep it up Diego hope to meet you again soon.

Anthony Bourdain would Be proud! This is a cute little authentic Mexican restaurant that our taxi driver introduced us to. We wanted to get away from the tourist area which was highly expensive and exploitive overall; Cozumel thrives on tourism but if you want an authentic taste of Mexico you have leave the beaten track. We were lucky enough to eat here at San Carlos, and most of all we met Carlos. Everyone in the family works in the restaurant, and seem so happy about that! They have a local live band at 4pm, and most impressively they have fresh catch straight from the Ocean — pick your own fish delicioso!
These people are real and they love to make food, you immediately taste the love. They are welcoming and highly appreciative of compliments to their cuisine. It’s real, it’s raw, it’s the Mexican soul beyond the tourist gimmicks. Above all it is so reasonably priced. It helps if you know a little spanish, but they will still greet you with a big smile and start the «show and tell» version of the menu haha! They have wifi, just ask for the passcode.
We started with the salsa, tortilla chips and ceviche. It was so fresh and bursting with flavor. We seconded that with fillet of fish, garlic-​ed up and fried in bread crumbs. Then was the fish you see in the pictures, caught 2 hours before, carefully seasoned and served with cabbage salad, rice and lime — unbelievably delicious food from a hole-​in-​the-​wall.
These people are the kindest, most generous human beings who love what they do in the simplicity of preparations, but the flavor is beyond words. If you go to Cozumel it is worth facing you’re preconceptions and fears and venturing off the beaten path to this little backstreet family ran gem — they deserve your business so much more than that drunken dive señor frogs. Make it the experience you wanted from Cozumel, eat good, eat genuine, eat loving food.
