Scuba Forum / Scuba Locations / May 2004Old Cozumel restaurant
Man, I just realized it's been 10 years since our last visit! Not counting a day on a cruise. Anyways, we have a favorite restaurant and I wonder if it's still there. Is Pizza Reynaldo still around? It was on the far side of town, across the street from the water. It had a neat little courtyard and some great pizza.

Jack >Nope...Pizza Rolandi is gone...however there is a pizza joint in the same >location and it's not bad. It's now called Guido's. My understanding is that it's still the same family, just a new name. In any case Guido's is one of my favourite restaurants on the island.

The new name is Guido's, it's the same place just north of the museum, and though I don't count heads, the staff is all still there along with everything else except the turtle (he/she has left the building). I was told the name change was decided because another pizza outfit on the mainland started using the same name. This is plausible because I've seen the signs with the name, and though I've not dined under this sign, I've been told by several reliable sources that the food sucks. An effort was made to convince the new place to not assume a relationship where none existed, but to no avail. So, Pizza Rolandi changed only their name to Guido's (pronounced Gee-doze, not Gwee-doze). As usual, any taxi still knows the location.

It features Argentine food and a very friendly staff. >>Try a restauraunt called " Especias" it is on the corner of calle 5 and >>calle 10 very good, but closed on Sunday It may become your new favorite [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > If your group is big enough they will open for you on Sundays(with plenty > of advanced notice). There is a wood fired pizza place about 2 block east of the town square on the northernmost town square "road". It was awesome the last time we were there.

I just got back - inquired about Especias I was told it is closed - however could have been a problem in translation. As a suggestion, my wife and I ate at La Mission. on Calle 4 first block off the main street. Near Pepe's Excellent we had the grouper (twice) Less than $23 USd for the two of us. No drinks (damn) and generous portions. Why no drinks? There seem to be two La Mission in Cozumel. I take it this was the one than hangs a grouper out front? > I just got back - inquired about Especias I was told it is closed - > however could have been a problem in translation.

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> Excellent we had the grouper (twice) Less than $23 USd for the two of >> us. No drinks (damn) and generous portions. It is the La Mission that did hang the grouper out front - it has relocated. Since I was diving in the morning and using Nitrox - I was limiting my alcohol intake. The reasons were - Nitrox seems to cause more dry mouth with me - plus I was taking Allegra for allergies and sudafed 24 hours to help with equalizing (from allergies) - trying to stay better hydrated - and just not pushing my limits. I have been known to drink too much at times - I just try to watch it while diving. There are two La Mission..... >It is the La Mission that did hang the grouper out front - it has relocated. I assume this is the location that used to be next door to La Choza. When I was there in February that one was closed, but the sign was still there. >There are two La Mission..... In that case there are three. This one downtown, one on 30th Ave a couple blocks north of Jaurez which is more "native", and the fancy one back on Jaurez around Calle 65.

Sorry we didn't get to meet up down there last week. I kept pretty busy with the diving and fishing. I met the proprietor of Especias last Sunday at Casa Denis; he is the son of one of the principals of CD. It is open, but recently so, I believe. I am looking at the card he gave me; the map on it shows it to be on the SE corner of Calle 5 Sur and 10 Av. It sounded great; unfortunately, when I talked to the guy (he was working at CD that night), it was Sunday night and our last night there. Cheers, Gordon in Austin >>I just got back - inquired about Especias I was told it is closed - >>however could have been a problem in translation.

It's been 19 years since I was there... and I wasn't impressed with any of the restaurants. :( >>Man, I just realized it's been 10 years since our last visit! Not >>counting a day on a cruise.

El Moro has long been a favorite, Capi Navegante has always been decent for fresh seafood, Casa Denis has good Yucatan dishes, La Choza is where I go for chiles rellenos, and I hear that La Cabana del Pescador is THE place for lobster but I have not been. >> Dillon Pyron <dmpyronINVALID@austin.rr.com> wrote in message >news:<g7j4a0l1blvrg91kn0l1cu3grmko32ag3h@4ax.com>...

La Cabana del Pescador was THE place for lobster 10 years ago. I am told by more recent visitors that nothing has changed.

Nice too see that some things remain constant, eh? A couple of more places recommended highly to me are the French Quarter and Pepe's Grill. I forgot to mention La Veranda -- good food last time we were there. > > Dillon Pyron <dmpyronINVALID@austin.rr.com> wrote in message > news:<g7j4a0l1blvrg91kn0l1cu3grmko32ag3h@4ax.com>...

Our best find this time (May 12-24) was a little place off the beaten path (near El Moro) called La Perlita. They served up the best grilled octopus I have ever eaten.
