Kinta closed down during the COVID-19 pandemic; did it ever reopen? We have been going to Kondessa (its sister restaurant) on our last few trips but I haven't heard anything about Kinta.

Don't quote me on this since I'm not 100% sure, but I have a vague recollection from my last trip that I was told by someone in the know that it's not going to reopen. That was 7 or 8 months ago though so the memory is not fresh. But that might be why it's hard to find any info.

It is my understanding that the owner, Kris, now lives and has a restaurant in Denver.
OP
Yes, Kris Wallenta lives in Denver full time now, but does visit the island frequently. He has a Mexican restaurant called Dos Santos that I hear is quite yummy!
I believe the big tree in Kinta fell in a storm and that was the end of it. I think Kris has an interest with his brother in Kondesa I think.
OP
Yes, I have always heard that Kinta and Kontessa were connected. The banyan tree in Kondessa is very impressive and their food is excellent, but I liked the menu in Kinta a little better. I am sorry but not that surprised to hear that it is gone for good. Several of my old favorite Cozumel eateries are no mas.
