Need authentic local food in cozumel

Damned pesky trademark protections enforcement
The 'Mcdonalds' ice cream stand disappeared as did the 'McFlurry' stand in Chedraui's parking lot.
Used to be like: ‘trademarks, we don’t recognize no stinking trademarks’

The 'Mcdonalds' ice cream stand disappeared as did the 'McFlurry' stand in Chedraui's parking lot.

Those were legitimate franchised McDonald's places, as were the McDonalds ice cream stand near Bodega Aurrera and the large McDonalds near Sams. All closed very abruptly not long ago, but this was not related to trademark issues.

their website hasn't changed the name

That's not really their website. Those webrestaurrantexperts sites just basically scrape Tripadvisor to make a generic site using photos posted on Tripadvisor. Owners can make some edits or changes, but in many cases they're not even aware of the existence of a site related to their business.

the restaurant formerly known as Otates

TRFKALO!

Everyone still calls them Otates out of habit

Well, I mean..., what else are they going to call it?

this place has good cheap Mexican food ... I highly recommend it.

Yep, and they're open on days and at times when many other places are closed.

Just came back from the restaurant formally known as Los Otates. If I heard correctly, the new name is Tacos Tales.

Tacos Tales.

Such Tacos? I really hope not.

Such Tacos? I really hope not.

It is what the waiter said to me. But he was busy and I didn't want to keep him, so maybe I heard incorrectly.

They had great food at a place called 'Comida Para Estupidos Gringos'. Lots of local color, guitars, etc.

I'm going to keep asking around until I find that place.

Just came from Perlita's for our first time there. Lion fish ceviche, fish tacos, and grilled lion fish. Great flavors. Good presentation. Nice atmosphere. The walk there and back is great.
