Italian restaurant
If you're looking to take a break from the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine, Kooben Laab is a must-visit Italian restaurant nestled in Cozumel. This charming eatery has been delighting locals and visitors alike since 2018 with its freshly made bread and pasta, crafted right on-site. The inviting atmosphere, complete with warm decor and friendly staff, makes you feel like you're dining at a friend's home.
I have a tendency to give less 5-star reviews on restaurants these days, but Kooben Lab is oh-so worthy. From their homemade bread, pasta, sauces, and tiramisu to the skilled kitchen staff and friendly, attentive wait and support staff, it's one to put at the top of your Cozumel dining list. The same menu items are available at lunch or dinner. The carbonara was supreme, and the salad with honey-mustard dressing not to be missed. I had to come back twice during the visit! Another great point is that it is NOT overpriced, really very reasonable, and therefore, dinner reservations are recommended. Thank you!

If you want authentic Italian cuisine look no further! K’ooben lab is an amazing family owned restaurant, one of the best on the island. The staff will make you feel at home and the food will make you think your Nonna made it, do not miss this gem! Breakfast lunch and dinner it’s a must for Cozumel!

The most important thing to say about the Laab is that they clearly care about food and that comes through in everything they serve. The ingredients are so fresh and flavourful. The dishes are creative and well executed. I have no critiques of the food and drink at all. We had: the mixed meat and cheese platter (all of which were delicious and a very enjoyed diversion from the typical fare in Cozumel), a mango-anchovy risotto that was so bright and lively, the carbonara (the best I’ve ever had. Their housemade pasta is excellent), and their chocolate cake (decadent in all the right ways but just shy of being too much). The drinks (red wine, mezcal, as gin cocktail) were all lovely. Some of the best food I’ve had anywhere - hands down. Their staff know and appreciate their food - and so they do their job well.

K'ooben Laab was recommended to us by multiple people before visiting Cozumel for our first time. By far the best place we've eaten on the island. Our server Joel was amazing and had the best recommendations for us. Everything truly is so fresh and the creators put so much care and time into each dish.

We were really impressed! It started with homemade cheese and tomato bread on the house..absolutely delicious! Then we had a great Bolognese. You can really feel the passion and love that goes into this place. Highly recommended!

amazing!!! worth walking to go there!! prices are compatible with the food they offer! amazing pasta with shrimps and tiramisu was delicious!
Leticia M — Google review
This place kept popping up on lists of places to try in Cozumel and can confirm, it’s with good reason. The restaurant itself is slightly away from the main tourist drag-it has a cute rooftop area with creative takes on Italian staples. The focaccia and mussels with white wine were standouts-but the carbonara pasta and lasagna were both delicious. The service was excellent-they even offered to secure us a taxi when we clearly were too full for the walk back to our hotel. Definitely a must visit.
Amy K — Google review
I had such an amazing time! I’ve been to Kooban Laab so many times, and it’s been my favourite restaurant for years. I love that they always give fresh focaccia to start the meal. The portion sizes feel small, but the pasta is so well made. Also, I’m always full by the end of the meal, so one plate is the perfect size. Today we had Joel as our waiter, and he was so nice! He suggested they’re special for the day was the ravioli and it was legit the best pasta I ever had.

Italian restaurant

Since opening in 1978, the restaurant has maintained consistency and evolved over the years. The chefs at Guido's blend French culinary skills with traditional flavors to create innovative dishes that please the palate.

We went to Guido two days in a row. Great Italian food. Shrimp aglio pasta - excellent dish Garlic bread - crispy and delicious Sangria was too sweet for us but refreshing Shrimp Pizza was good but I prefer the pasta more. Love the ambience in the courtyard.

Excellent restaurant, near the downtown square, great food & service, clean bathrooms. Not cheap, water is bottled and about $3.50 each, well worth the money for a nice meal. We had a large group, can't split bill so recommend one person just pays for it and have others reimburse.
PC R — Google review
This place is an absolute gem and hands down one of the best restaurants in the area. From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The service was fast, professional, and consistent, making the entire experience even better. The pizza was incredible, perfectly baked, loaded with fresh, high quality ingredients, and full of flavor in every single bite. The pasta was just as amazing, cooked perfectly al dente with a rich, creamy, and well balanced sauce that was packed with flavor. And the lasagna was absolutely perfect. Layers of fresh pasta, rich sauce, melted cheese, and perfectly seasoned meat made it one of the best lasagnas we have ever had. We also tried a few other items and everything we ordered was outstanding. The flavors were amazing, the portions were generous, and the overall quality was far beyond expectations. If you are looking for the best pizza, pasta, and lasagna in the area, this is the place to go. Whether you are local or visiting, you will not be disappointed. We could not be more satisfied and we will absolutely be coming back again and again.

Must stop here in Cozumel for us!!!! The pizza and baked break is insane cooked in a huge wood fired oven you can see when walking in! We come to Cozumel yearly and Guido's is always a spot we eat at once or twice while here in the island. If you love sangria this is some of the best I've ever had (not a wine drinker at all either) with freshly cut apples and other fruits in a large ceramic pitcher. Just outside is located the oceanfront view which has the most amazing sunsets on the island which I pictured for you. Ps Guido's is a little more upscale then your local taqueria so will be paying $80-100 for a nice meal for your family.
Isaiah — Google review
Amazing food. The staff are like family for the regulars that visit. I visit every time I’m on the island. The goats and green salad accompanied by the lasagna is a fav, of course that quickly changes depending on the daily specials. The house made sangria is always a good choice as you soak up the oasis type atmosphere in the back.
Wayne A — Google review
Guido's is one ofy great constants of the universe. This lovely little gem of a restaurant delivers great salads and seafood, and one of the most unique and yummy baked lasagnas anywhere. We go for the caprese salad, lasagna and their great home made sangria. Try it out and you're going to come back every time you come back to Cozumel.

Mexican restaurant
Breakfast restaurant
La Choza Cozumel is a popular family-run restaurant in Cozumel, known for serving authentic Mexican cuisine and regional specialties. The restaurant has a spacious interior suitable for larger groups and is open from breakfast to dinner. It's a place where you can enjoy traditional options like huevos rancheros or explore regional specialties such as huevos con chaya.
La Choza, Cozumel: A Must-Visit for Authentic Mexican Delight La Choza in Cozumel came highly recommended, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. This gem delivered an unforgettable dining experience with its authentic Mexican cuisine, warm hospitality, and incredible value. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with genuine friendliness, setting the tone for a fantastic meal. The complimentary chips and salsa were a highlight—fresh, homemade chips paired with a unique salsa that wasn’t the typical red variety but burst with flavor. We ordered the fajita mix with shrimp and chicken, and on a whim, asked to add beef, which was a brilliant choice. The fajitas were sizzling, fresh, and perfectly seasoned, showcasing the authenticity of the cuisine. The homemade tortillas elevated every bite. We also got a side of rice and beans, which were unlike anything we’ve had in the U.S.—distinctive, flavorful, and a must-try. The margaritas were a standout: perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and easily some of the best we’ve ever had. The restaurant itself was spotless, with a clean kitchen that added to our confidence in the food’s quality. The taxi ride from the Celebrity Cruises port was a quick $10, making it an easy trip. For two of us, the bill came to just $50, including drinks and a generous amount of food—an incredible deal for such quality. La Choza is a place where every detail, from the fresh ingredients to the exceptional service, comes together perfectly. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Cozumel!

Great spot for authentic Mexican food! Tons of locals eat here and a lot less touristy compared to places right on the shoreline. It was pretty busy for a Thursday afternoon at 3pm. The decor and atmosphere were really cute too Free chips and spicy cheese dip! 5/5 The fish ceviche was really good, it's a really large portion for an appetizer. 5/5 The beef quesadillas were so tasty! 5/5 The chicken fajitas were okay 4/5 The rice soup that came with the fajitas 5/5 The service was a little on the slower side, but I guess it's on island time! Staff were all very friendly and gave us English menus and were patient with my beginner Spanish. I'd definitely come back

The food is wonderful. The staff was super friendly. Our group had the grilled chicken, the chicken mole, the flank steak, the chicken kabobs, and steak, beef, and shrimp fajitas. We split it all so we could try everything. It was all so wonderful that we couldn't pick a favorite.

Me gusto mucho conocer aca!!! I really loved meeting this restaurant. I came because of the great reviews it had on google and it delivered! The place is so pleasant, everything we ordered was well served and delicious. Service was great, the waiters were really nice and explained to us all we didn’t know or had questions about. I came with my husbandand and we ordered nachos as an entrance. ThenI ordered a shrimp quesadilla which tasted great and I couldn’t finish them all!

Fresh ingredients are combined to create savory dishes at reasonable prices. While burritos may not be traditional Mexican cuisine, this spot specializes in making delicious ones. The variety of fresh ingredients allows for options like vegetarian, egg and chorizo breakfast, and steak burritos.
This was a recommendation from a friend who lives in Cozumel. It was absolutely delicious. I had the steak and shrimp burrito and my husband had the shrimp burrito. The chips and salsa were amazing as well.

The people are so sweet, each time I go in we have a nice conversation (whether it is in English or Google Translate we make it happen)!! Plus the burritos are to die for - the vegetarian breakfast burrito and the chicken burrito are what I have had and wow oh wow they are packed with not only flavour but food! Such a good price too. I've attached a picture of the breakfast burrito.

I was in Cozumel for 10 days and I went to Burritos Gorditos at least 6 times - a testament to how delicious their food is. I loved the beef barbacoa, the veggie breakfast, the spicy shrimp and the veggie burrito. The staff are also really friendly and the vibe is spot on. A must try in Cozumel.

Mexican restaurant
Casa Mission is a historic Mexican estate turned restaurant located in the heart of Cozumel. The lush garden and beautiful hacienda provide a picturesque backdrop for enjoying seafood, cocktails, and live music. The restaurant offers a diverse menu including vegan, vegetarian, and omnivore options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. With its enchanting garden space and extensive menu featuring specialties like vegetable enchiladas and lime soup, Casa Mission promises an unforgettable dining experience.
Our tour guide suggested Casa Mission for lunch and he did not lead us astray. This place was phenomenal. The grounds are beautiful, service was top notch, and the food was amazing. Our group of 10 was attended to very quickly and the soup, bread, and chips and salsa were the perfect start to our meals. We were almost too full for the entrees, but we pushed through. So good!!! Do yourself a favor and go here!! We will definitely come back!

I am a local and I’ve read about this place on Facebook for several months so I decided to try it. Highly recommended! Great food (try the mole enchiladas), great atmosphere, Mexican music being played by a live trio. And their table side guacamole is delicious! They are dog friendly too. Some places are dog friendly but that can be a problem with the dogs that are not well behaved. When you arrive, they share a list of dog rules with you and if your dog cannot follow them they will not allow the dog in. Or, if your dog breaks the rules, the dog has to leave. Makes for a great experience!Rebeca was my hostess and she was very helpful. And Armando was my waiter and he did a great job. Try to get them to help you when you are here.

We have been to Casa Mission several times over the years. It seams to stay the same for the most part. During this visit at the last minute it was discovered that we were in a rush to get the next ferry back to the main land. They jumped right up too the task and got us right to the boat in about 20 minutes. So good food good service and good prices. Good luck and have fun.

What a great restaurant! Such a wonderful meal; flavorful and delicious. Authentic and what a beautiful setting. Service is great and live music was a great plus.

Eating dinner at Casa Mission was a delightful experience! The restaurant is beautifully decorated inside with a lovely outdoor dining space as well and evokes hacienda architecture. The waitstaff are very friendly and the service is quick! Drinks are fantastic, especially the margaritas. We had the beef steak nachos, ceviche, and shrimp burrito and everything was freshly made and so delicious. The ceviche was very refreshing, and I could eat it every day. Casa Mission is a must visit!

Excellent place to avoid the nonsense high density tourist areas. Nice chill spot to grab some high quality food and take in some cool architecture and sights. Paying took quite a long time and our taxi was waiting outside thinking we bailed on him. I think it took 30min to pay. I highly recommend the Caesar salad, he makes it right in front of you.

We were in Cozumel as a stop on a cruise. We hired a local to show us around the island. For lunch he took us to his favorite restaurant, Casa Mission, and I'm so glad he did. You should do the same. Everything was fabulous! All 14 in our group felt the same way. Among the things we had were chips and salsa (pico de gallo), margaritas, fajitas, ceviche, queso fundido, guacamole, y más. No disrespect to the places at the cruise terminals as we've enjoyed them in the past. But if you want to venture out and eat where the locals do, this is the place. ¡Salud!
