JRock59 Posted February 18, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2013 We have small childern. Any good places to eat mexican food closer to the pier or at the mall? There is a Poncho's right at the Pier but to us it's just not as good as the Original. :) Grab a cab have them drop you at Los Cinco Soles shop a bit and than go out to Ponchos and enjoy a great lunch. You can usually either grab a cab right out front if one happens to be passing by or drooping off if not just across the street is a cab stand. :) http://www.loscincosoles.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted February 18, 2013 #5 Share Posted February 18, 2013 We have small childern. Any good places to eat mexican food closer to the pier or at the mall? There are several places along the ocean drive between Punta Langosta and the Plaza. Just a the south end of the Plaza area on Calle 5/Rafael Melgar (about 1/2 way between the PL pier and the ferry pier) is La Mission with outside seating and strolling mariachis. There's a Carlos N Charlie's at the Mall--but not my ideal of Mexican food.

Rambler5678 Posted February 18, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Is La Mission open for lunch? Their website says dinner only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted February 19, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Is La Mission open for lunch? Their website says dinner only. Casa Mission, the original main restaurant toward the east side of San Miguel on Avenida 55, is only open for dinner. La Mission, by the "malecon" and plaza is open 11AM -11PM. http://www.lamissioncozumel.com/index.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woops my bad most Carnival ships dock at Puerta Maya must be a day when there are 3 or more Carnival ships in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondDiva Posted February 20, 2013 #9 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Ate at the original Pancho's behind the Cinco Soles at Calle 8 and had one of the best Mexican meals we have had in years! Altho only available on the dinner menu, we asked about mole, for which they are famous. They DID have some ready (about 1:30pm) and my husband just about licked the plate clean! It is a regional variety of mole, a bit sweeter than some recipes, and had toasted sesame seeds sprinked on top of the beef. We also printed out free margarita coupons from the internet for each of us. Decor is peaceful and attractive in the midst of an often hectic San Miguel. If going to shop at Cinco Soles as well, eat first-the receipt from the food is good for a discount at the shop afterwards...so a good deal all around! Cab from International pier-$8 and there is an interesting small local museum at Calle 6 and Melgar as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tman77064 Posted February 22, 2013 #10 Share Posted February 22, 2013 The last time at Pancho's Backyard I had the burrito Sonora. Delicious and would highly recommend. Margaritas are great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
