Cozumel

Get the Cozumel fajitas every time and I love them! The margaritas are huge and delicious. Love the free chips and salsa! This is a frequent stop for our family!

Best service I’ve ever had anywhere, not exaggerating at all! Literally walked in ten minutes ago, was greeted within seconds with a smile, was seated within another twenty seconds even considering they’re having their dinner rush. Was asked for drinks by our waitress within another 10 – 20 seconds. Got all three drinks (1 Dos Equis Lager, 2 Rasberry Lemonades) in less than two minutes. When she came back with our drinks she took our order: I have the seafood chimichanga and my girlfriend has two tacos a quesadilla and rice. We legitimately got the order brung out to us in less than ten minutes. Two people brought it out to us, than our waitress came and asked if it looked good. I questioned the freshness at first because of the speed but boy was I wrong, my plates hot and so is the food. Had to come write this. I’ve been here three times before and always had good service but boy have they gotten better.

Carlos the waiter very attentive service and excellent food. And the divine margaritas!!!

I randomly stopped in last Friday and sure am happy that I did. It was pretty packed so we tried to see if the little bar area was open. The waiter that was buzzing around that area saw us looking and was very helpful. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the first available table in that area.
I decided to try the Burrito El Diabla that was on the specials menu. WOW! This needs to be added to the menu ASAP! It had marinated beef tips inside with a spicy queso on top! PHENOMENAL! Words really don’t cut it, you just need to try it!
I asked the server for a hotter salsa and he told me about their habanero salsa. If you don’t like HOT, you can skip over this part. It was an orange habanero salsa with red onion and cilantro. It was amazing! Again, it packs a punch to don’t go overboard.
Throughout the meal our sever was more than amazing. Checking on us often and clearing plates as we finished. He always had a smile and was more than happy to help us with anything we needed. Good waiters like this guy are hard to find.
We tipped him generously and when he noticed it his eyes lit up and he says «I love you guys, thank you so much» I wish I could remember his name,. (I believe it started with GER)
I’ve been here a couple times but I will be back in the next few days to get this same dish! Highly Recommended,

Oh Cozumel… you wonderful wonderful place. If you’re thinking this is a cheap, Americanized Mexican joint, offering sauce laden, cheese covered dishes, then you’re right. And I love it,.
Mexican is the holy grail of hangover foods for me. And I’ve frequented my fair share of Mexican joints like this in college– the fish bowl margaritas, free chips and salsa, portions big enough for lunch the next day. Cozumel does all that and more, and does it better. Oh the nostalgia.
I order the veggie fajitas, which surprisingly include a large array of veggies (broccoli, zucchini, peppers, onions, etc). Delicious every time. Sometimes I also go basic and just order up a large plate of rice and beans… its a meal all by itself. My man always tries something different and is happy every time.
I have friends that live right by here, and they seriously come here once a week. The food is always good, the drinks are always strong, and our bill is always so cheap. What more can you want, really? Pro tip, fill up on that free chips and salsa goodness, then take ¾ of your entrée home for later. Am I the only person that does that?

An acceptable Mexican/​American restaurant. Food was plentiful and fresh tasting.
Salsa was disappointing, as it had a canned tomato taste. I couldn’t quite place it.
I had the camarones la crema (purposely ordered a comparison dish to my favorite Mexican restaurant for a fair rating), and while it was good, it did not provide me with the mouthgasm that Nuevo Acapulco always does.
Place was very clean, and the service was excellent. Our waiter was watching our table and was very attentive. Prices were reasonable.
This place was fine, but did not live up to all the hype I’ve heard. If I had never been to the «other», I’d rate this higher.

I returned to Cozumel’s in Lakewood! This time I had Mexican tacos, filled with pieces of tender steak & chorizo, nestled in doubled, soft corn tortillas. On the side, freshly diced onion & chopped cilantro, with lime wedge. With this dish, Mexican rice, and a «must have», frijoles charros. These are whole beans that are flavored with diced bacon… yum! Soo much better than those «whipped beans»! Shout out to our server, Juan, who made this visit more fun than the last, if that was possible. He was personable, friendly, & funny! I felt like we were cousins, Lol! #satisfiedcustomer

You don’t need to get on a plane to spend an evening in Cozumel! Instead, all you need to do is drive to Lakewood, Ohio. As the sitting Duke of Cozumel I can confidently proclaim that it is the finest Mexican restaurant in the greater Cleveland area. Warm tortilla chips with fresh house made salsa are provided before your behind touches the seat. The queso, a Cozumel staple, is simple yet bursting with flavor. I usually make a power play and order the taco platter which includes three delicious tacos accompanied by authentic Mexican rice and refried beans, however, Cozumel’s creative and innovative executive chef has crafted an exclusive entrée that has caused me to reconsider everything that I know in this world. The entrée, called a quesadilla fajita, is a modern twist on two old Mexican classics and has quickly become my go-​to. The servers at Cozumel are attentive, helpful and friendly and the prices are just right. The ambiance is casual and upbeat and it even has a bar area with a TV in case «the game» is on and you start craving the best Mexican food in greater Cleveland. Parking is plentiful and the space is always very clean. Overall, Cozumel is a fantastic place to enjoy delicious Mexican food and I would highly recommend it!

I like getting my food fast, but I would rather have it good.
With more and more Mexican places opening up nearby and with ones that have been operating for years, there is no excuse for going to get second, third or last best. I gave this place my «three time try» and they failed at every turn.
Every time I ordered my food, the entrée came out right on top of the appetizer we ordered for the table. I honestly don’t think that good meals can be properly prepared in under five minutes and that’s about how fast the food comes out after you order it.
The most disappointing aspect of the food is that is clearly microwaved or rapid grilled and the same sauce is applied to every single thing, be it a burrito, an enchilada or a chile relleno. Part of the great thing about Mexican food is the variety of succulent sauces that accompany each dish. They enhance the flavours of the meats or vegetables contained within that dish. There is absolutely no finesse in how this food is cooked.
Seriously, do yourself a huge favour and truck down a couple miles to Villa y Zapata or Luchita’s and get more bang for your buck. If you don’t care about authenticity of the food (which if you return here, you obviously don’t), head down to El Carnicero or Barrio, both of which are just about a mile from this joint. Both use quality ingredients and offer better flavours.

Favorite Mexican place in Lakewood! Service is great, prices are reasonable, and the food and drinks always satisfy our needs!
I get the taco salad in a taco shell bowl every time we go and it’s under $ 7. The food comes out about 5 minutes after placing the order– so fast!
Chips and salsa arrive as soon as you get to the table.
I’ve been dying to try the fried ice cream but haven’t yet. On my list for next time!

My uncle always says, «The best Mexican restaurants are always found in old converted chain restaurants or gas station parking lots.» I think he may be in to something here. Cozumel is in an old IHOP and it’s delicious! This is my favorite location and the service is great. The chips and salsa always taste very fresh and the waiters and kitchen are always very accommodating about vegetarianizing things for me.

Their menu is pretty standard mexican/​tex-​mex fair, with more of a lean towards traditional mexican, so not terribly spicy.
Drinks are good, service is great, and we’ve never had a wait.

The best service the best food the freshest guac and pico de gallo and I’m obsessed !!! My New Mexican restaurant !!!

Absolutely adore the Carne Asada and Pollo Loco. All of the food is amazing, but those are my favorites. Get the queso dip while you wait — you won’t regret it!

It was the first great weather Friday of the year and we decided some tacos sounded good. We wanted to go to another restaurant but the wait was way too long.
Came here instead and was pleasantly surprised.
The salsa is good. Portion sizes are great.
I had the fajita quesadilla and it was pretty tasty! Although the other reviews are right, this is Americanized Mexican food… but sometimes, that’s what you want! and sometimes that stuff just hits the spot. The hubs had the fire burrito and he really enjoyed that as well. We both came home with at least a meal worth of leftovers and we got there hungry.
We also tried the margs and they didn’t skimp on the tequila, that’s for sure.
We will be back.

Raising the standard of «standard Mexican fare». I love Cozumel. Consistent quality. Great service. Delicious food. And the accept Belly points!

I have been here twice. The first time I went, my partner and I were not huge fans. It was cheap, pretty standard Americanized Mexican food. Unfortunately, it was a bit on the mediocre side, so we decided we would not choose to go there again. My dad wanted to meet there recently, though, so my partner and I went again. I ordered the special Burrito a la Diablo, which had chorizo with chicken in a burrito with some spiced sauce; it came with a side of pinto beans and rice. The beans tastes slimy, so I had a suspicion something was wrong with them. I ate a few more bites and then couldn’t finish them. I ate hardly any of the rice. The following night, I had HORRIBLE food poisoning. More than the horrible digestive symptoms, I felt achy and dizzy like if I had the flu. At one point, I was so weak that I thought vomiting would make me pass out.
I will never ever go here again. For those of you who had good experiences, I’m glad you were lucky. I wouldn’t recommend taking any more chances with this place, though.

This place is very delicious and authentic! The margaritas were very good! Salsa and chips were very fresh and the chips were warm which I loved. I had the #1 Vegetarian platter which included one bean burrito, cheese enchilada and a tostada. It was sooo yummy! I got to take home leftovers too which was a plus! I can’t wait to come back and order it again. :)
They were consistently busy the entire time we were there. That says a lot. We ordered a second margarita so we were hanging out for awhile after we ate. This place is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Lakewood. Sorry Barrio. This reminds me of the Mexican restaurants in LA which you know are the real deal. This is my new go-​to spot! Stop in for happy hour — it goes until 6pm.

One of my go-​to Mexican joints around town. The food quality is very consistent and it comes out FAST! Their sizzling fajitas are really good, but I usually order the Burrito de la Roqueta… it’s a carnitas (pulled pork) burrito covered in gooey cheese sauce. so good! Their fresh salsa and warm tortilla chips are top notch!
The margaritas are potent and beers frosty and cold. The employees are always very friendly and make you feel welcome.
Stop in hungry and you’ll leave satisfied.

What I was expected was pretty mediocre, Americanized-​Mexican food, fast. And I mean, that’s OK. Especially if that’s what you came for.
But this Cozumel location was much better than I was expecting! The margaritas weren’t florescent, the salsa was fresh and whatever they put in that bean dip is pretty ridiculous. You like at it and you’re like, «There is no way I’m going to like that.» Then you taste it and you’re like, «I’ve been a FOOL!» It’s that good.
Once you’ve filled up with margaritas and chips, don’t forget that you have a massive plate of entrée coming your way in about 30 seconds. It’s so fast. I tried taquitos for the first time in like… 12 years? I don’t even know. I think the last time I had them they were defrosted from a box in the supermarket. Not these. Freshly prepared, deliciously seasoned and shredded chicken. So much good.
Don’t be surprised if you see me here a little too often.
