I'll have to wait for their Tortas Milanesa!!!..They are good!
Is this a good restaurant? I don't seem to recall seeing it before - but we'll be there when it is still open so if it's recommended would love to add it to the list (man, I'm going to weigh 400 pounds by the end of this holiday!)
OP
alcina:
that the tourists discovered quite awhile ago. It is back in "the hood"
by my house, but it's delicious. Prices have definitely gone up though. Typical Mexican food will run you around $5 to $8 USD, but seafood will run $10 to $15 USD.

As Christi said, the prices have gone up there since the rank and file have discovered it (just like Cozumel in general), but it's definitely worth the trip. The best value there, IMO, is the Zachariah platter; it's portions of several different types of seafood prepared in as many different ways. Is it lunch time yet...?
Another great place in that neighborhood is La Perlita. I like it even more than El Moro, but YMMV.
Although both these places have been "discovered", they are far enough off the beaten path that they will seldom be crowded.

I agree, La Perlita and El Moro are both very good.
Ray, at El Moro, is a great host and the complimentary Maya after dinner liqueur (I wish I could find it in the states) makes for a nice ending to the meal.
Not to steal the thread, but when will La Cocay reopen?

I'll bet that the liqueur you mean is D'Aristi Xtabentun (anisette and honey). It is hard to find in the US and it's expensive if you do, but it is available. I think they have it up here in Austin at the Grapevine Market (Anderson Lane, Shoal Creek, MoPac area). Speck's in Houston definitely has it. Grupo Ramsa doesn't export the bottle with the Mayans on the label; you'll find it in an opaque blue 750 ml bottle, and it's about $30.
I love it, too; I bring some back every trip. I'm having some in my coffee right now.
Here's a drink I call a Mexican Blackbird:
1 part D'Aristi Xtabentun
1 part Carolan's Irish Cream Liqueur
1 part Kahlua
Serve it layered or mixed; if you mix it, mix the Irish Cream and Kahlua first to keep the sugar in the Xtabentun from clotting the cream.
