La Cazuela M & J - 77400 Isla Mujeres

It’s a perfect brunch spot. Food’s delicious. Fair prices, incredible customer service. Big portions, authentic and creative. I highly recommend this place.

Well located, very attentive service, food was very good. Mexican dishes with the well known of this region habanero sauce (served on the side), we tried the breakfast cazuela which is some kind of clay plate (very hot at the moment) sides vary depending on what you order, I had the "Cazuela Ranchera" which is a couple tortillas with some refried black beans spread on top of it, a couple pieces of ham and a couple of eggs on a very tasty salsa some tomato and onions, all of this on top of the mentioned clay plate. My wife ordered the "Cazuela Holbox" which was almost same as mine minus the tortillas and the ham, plus some local cheese between the eggs and the beans and some fried plantain on the side. Be aware!! They only accept cash, no credit cards.

I ordered the Cazuela Holbox. It has beans, tortilla, salsa and fried plantain. It was delicious. I was the only one there at noon.

2nd time back. Cazuelas are very large portions , and very good. Worth the price! Waitress was good also! Will be back!

Attentive service, excellent food, and a good value; I'm sure I'll be back. One thing to note is the portion sizes. They're large. And although I did manage to finish my omelet, while strolling the beach with my shirt off it did occur to me that perhaps stopping 3/4 the way through would have been a better plan.

I found this place off the beaten path one morning, on my way to the malecon for a run. It had been just set up for opening and looked clean, quaint and inviting. My wife and I ventured back on a Monday morning, hoping for something more local and low key. It was exactly that. I was just along for the ride, as I'm not a huge breakfast fan. However, as soon as I read the description of the House Specialties, which the restaurant is named for, I was all in. I tried the Cazuela Contoy with Shrimp, Tomatoes and Herbs, my wife had the Cazuela Ranchera with Black Beans, Ham and Salsa. Both were really delicious, and thankfully not as huge as the dishes would make you believe. I say "dishes" because the clay dish that the Cazuela is prepared and served in, is straight out of the oven, to the point it's still bubbling and spewing steam at least three minutes after it arrived on top of a second dish, for carrying to the table. Not an easy feat mind you, when the air temperature is already in the mid-seventy range. Served with fresh corn tortillas, I ate every last bit of it. The service was wonderful. Coffee and Juices were delicious, and do give their salsas a try. We were fairly warned which of the two was the hot one, but let your tastebuds decide. They were both nice compliments to our meals. The restaurant is located on a somewhat busy street corner, and the day we visited, there was a pump running across the street to move some flooding from the huge rain storm the night before. Still, it was fun watching folks go by and listening to a couple of local gentlemen who appeared to be having breakfast before heading off to work. Our server was friendly, attentive and polite, and we even were paid a visit by the Owner/Chef at the end of our meal. He was very appreciative of our visit. We will definitely head here again on future trips.

Delicious omelette and crepes, highly recommend this place. The only thing it was a bit loud outside so I recommend eating inside. I think the prices were 160-190 pesos per omelette and 120 for two crepes.

This place is real and authentic Mexican food. The picture does not do it justice, but these are the best chilaquiles I’ve ever had. Anywhere. The portions are super generous and inexpensive. This is a must stop breakfast stop. Service is fast and friendly as well. The walls have pictures of old time Mexican movie stars :)
