We ended up having to relocate hotels on our last vacation when my mother ended up in the hospital. We stayed at the Flamingo, which was awesome in every way...including this tantalizing smell that crept into the lobby and our room every night. It was the grill at Al Pie Del Carbon we were smelling, and finally we decided to... More

My husband and I went there based on a recommendation from some friends and wow, we were pleased we did. We sat outside and just loved the authentic feel from Al Pie de Carbon. We were greeted by 2 members of the waitstaff who couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating with their recommendations. The food was exactly what we... More

This is one of those quiet off the path places to eat a great Angus Steak. It was recommended by the Concierge at El Presidente Resort and was the food just great and moderately priced. My family and our friends from Cozumel had dinner here one evening.

By far my favorite restaurant in Cozumel. Jesus and company go out of their way to accommodate everyone. The food is great, we ended up eating there 4 out of the 7 nights there. They have something for everyone, the steak is my favorite. My daughters loved the tacos! We visit Cozumel every year and for the past 5 years... More

This is hands down the best steakhouse in Cozumel. It's better than Mortons - truly! Although the prices are quite fair. The chief and his wife truly make you feel like your family. The restaurant is very pleasant giving you the true feeling of the island and the service is attentive and exceptional. They have a open grill, a glass... More

The tacos here were great. Sanchos is the king of the wood fired grill! The steak and chicken was done to a turn. Brenda is the best waitress we have had in Cozumel! You could not ask for a better place. I would recommend sitting outside in the cool evening air. This places is laid back and you are never... More

The atmosphere is fairly nice in this restaurant, and I liked that they were not in the very middle of town. I ordered the surf n turf expecting quite a bit, the two things being what the restaurant claims are it's signatures. The steak was incredibly chewy and most of it was inedible because of it, although the grill marks... More

My favorite restaurant in Cozumel. Great food and good service! Went there with my daughter who has some allergies and is a picky eater. They made her a special pasta dish that is not on the menu to meet all her requests and limitations. I had the arachera steak and it was cooked to perfection and tasting great. This is... More

We had a lovely meal at Al Pie Al Carbon. The grilled salad was delicious and the flank steak and filet were wonderful too. Of course, the chimmichuri sauce would make anything taste good, but it was delicious on the meat. This is a cozy resturant with the grill near the front door.
