I enjoy El Foco. Now I am wondering if no one else mentioned them because they are not as good as the others mentioned. Think we might try some of the others.

I assumed that was the restaurant that he was referring to. I didn't mind the dogs as they were well behaved, just as I didn't mind the pigeons at the old El Sitio location, the dog at Colores & Sabores, or the cat(s) at La Cocay.
I don't know why I don't find it objectionable in Mexico, because if that crap were pulled here in the US, I'd pitch a fit. No one wants to get me started on "emotional support animals".
Here in Texas we have grackles that will land on your table and walk right up to steal food from your plate while you are sitting there. Don't even get me started on what will happen to your car's paint job if you park under certain trees.
I love this thread. Even someone like me, who has been to Cozumel many times, can find new recommendations. Gracias!
El Pique still the best for all time though.

That's the place. I don't know streets in Cozumel but the dog, Ringo I believe his name is, sounds like the place. We have house pups so it doesn't bother me that much. Now f I were to go somewhere in the states that allow that, I don't know.
We were on the hunt for best tacos when in Cozumel last month. We loved mister taco best. Their salsa is spicy and we loved it. Tzalam Taqueria was our second favorite. And then El Pique was third. Didn’t get to try all the places of course but we were specifically on the hunt for the best pastor tacos.

You can't really talk about "best tacos" without specifying what kind of tacos!
I go to different places for al pastor, chicken, arabe, beef (arrachera or bistek), chuleta (fresca, ahumada), carnitas, cabeza de vaca, seafood (fried, sautéed, grilled), tuchitos, tacos de canasta, bírria, tinga, borrego, etc.
You can put anything on a taco - tacos de chiles rellenos are great, for example. How about tacos de guisado? There are traditional composed tacos such as gobernador (shrimp-stuffed chile with cheese and bacon), for example.
How much do you value tortillas a mano vs. machine-made? Do drinks matter? How about non-taco items?
There's no place that I think has the best of any 2 of these except perhaps El Pique (al pastor and chuleta fresca). There's no place that even has a big majority of these. Some of the best places for certain kinds of tacos only have one kind or a very limited range - Los Magüeyes, for example, only has borrego (and is only open on Sundays) and Carnitas Díaz only has carnitas.
