castroville cruiser Posted February 15, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Pancho's Backyard is excellent. Great Margaritas ! We also tried some tamales there that were very good and differnt grom what we had ever had here in South Texas. We have also enjoyed light meals/snacks at the small cafe above the Museum there in Cozumel. It is sort of an outdoor snackbar. Great view .Neat /different place. Just go in the Museum and up to the 2 or 3 floor. Enjoy:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demodawn Posted February 15, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Senor Iguana on the north side of the island! Good food cheap great margaritas and big, and a beach to lounge on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iliketocruise Posted February 15, 2006 #6 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Everytime we go to Cozemel we eat at Pancho's Back Yard. The food is excellent and the marimba entertainment is just as good. In fact, we spennd most of our time there just enjoying the ambiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tawcat Posted February 15, 2006 #8 Share Posted February 15, 2006 pancho's backyard, great food. we probably have been there as many times as we have cruised. a tip about paying your tab. use a credit card to pay your meal tab, food and drink, and leave a cash tip. your credit card company will give you the best exchange rate. if you put your tip on the cc, the restaurant docks the server the difference of the exchange rate. have never had a bad meal at pancho's and as others have said, the margaritas are the best.

butterfly2 Posted February 15, 2006 #9 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Can I walk there from where the tenders let us off? If so, please give directions. If not, Can a cab bring us there? How much does a cab cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driftwoodgal Posted February 15, 2006 #11 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Coconuts gets our vote. The view from the restaurant is wonderful and the food is awesome. Being from Texas it is hard for me to be impressed by Mexican food, but I will return there on our cruise next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachgirl8078 Posted February 15, 2006 #14 Share Posted February 15, 2006 we love Coconuts and Mexacalitos on the wild side too, but I thought the OP wanted "in town" restaraunts. Mexacalitos has the BEST grilled shrimp and the fun "naked beach" sign to pose in back of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tawcat Posted February 15, 2006 #15 Share Posted February 15, 2006 yes you can walk. when they drop you from the tender, cross the main road and go left. it is in the same complex as the Los Cinco Soles. waterfront at 8th street. phone 987 872-2141. www.panchosbackyard.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdawson Posted February 15, 2006 #16 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Tawcat. I've spent quite a bit of time in Mexico and the average exchange rate is 10:1. I've seen it 9.5:1 and occaisionally seen 11.3:1 but not often. We're talking a very few pennies difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwlane Posted February 16, 2006 #20 Share Posted February 16, 2006 use a credit card to pay your meal tab, ...your credit card company will give you the best exchange rate. Unfortunately, most are starting to add a % service fee for transactions involving currency exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
