Tacos!

[twokids0204]

This will be our first time in Cozumel, and my son (10 years old) has said he wants to have a real taco from Mexico while there.

 

Is there anywhere close to the cruise port that you can recommend?

As soon as you walk down dock on right side i think its called three amigos or something like that .. you cant miss it :)

That's a bar, mostly. Tacos are Americanized there. And I don't think a 10 year old would be comfortable amongst the crowd there. If you want to stay inside the cruise port, head left out of the Dufry store and go to the whaite open front building just past the shopping entrance where the taxis are. That's Cinco Soles' outlet. Inside is the outlet for Pancho's Backyard, with decent tacos (but better chili rellenos).

 

Outside of the cruise port, turn left and go across the street and up a couple of blocks to the blue food truck. These are the real ponchos, not the Sears ponchos (apologies to Frank Zappa:rolleyes:). Or head into town and go to Los Otates, a small outdoor taqueria with good tacos and other foods. Locals eat there, not just tourists. Of course there are lots of other taquerias and loncherias that serve tacos. And some of the beach clubs have decent ones too.

 

I'm sure your son will enjoy whatever taco he has there.:)
