Having seen its high ratings on TripAdvisor we had to visit it during our trip to Cozumel. This restaurant is little set back so would need a small cab ride. A very laid back feel to the place which seemed to be run by some...More

I have to say that LaPerlita has the best lionfish around as well as the best michelada. However, on my last trip a couple of weeks ago, I learned that they serve endangered eagle rays in place of shark on their menu. Both sharks and...More

We visited for lunch with a friend who was a local. We told him that we wanted to try lion fish and he said this was the best. It truly was delicious!! I highly recommend it and will definitely being going back. Restaurant very clean,...More
