El Fish

Isla Cozumel


For the classic Cozumel botana bar experience (free snacks come to the table each time you order a new round), hit this fan-cooled establishment for a cold beer, tasty grub and a few laughs with the crowd of locals sat around the semi-circular bar. The kitchen closes at 7pm.
