El Borracho Burro Cantina — Restaurant in Isla Mujeres

Went here for drinks and snacks…. A large group… we had a simple miscommunication. Someone in the large group brought in pizza for thinking there was no food available-we had already ordered appetizers and drinks. We were also planning on staying to buy many more drinks. The waiter very politely came over and told us that food was not allowed. We put the pizza away & apologized. A few minutes later the owner of the place angrily came over and began to yell at us for bringing the pizza in. We apologized and tried to explain that we had miscommunication-we ordered plenty of food already. The owner kept yelling… for close to 10 minutes.

We were driving the golf cart and stumbled upon this place last week. Yum yum yum!! What a great ambiance with kitties and chickens and beautiful fountains…super eclectic.

Now on to the food and drinks…the margarita with fresh red fruit was superb SO good, tacos omg amazing. 10/10 on everything we tried. To the reviewers talking about flies, I mean it is an outdoor restaurant on an island in Mexico so with that in mind remember we are cohabitating with Mother Nature. The staff did an excellent job of clearing food quickly and put these little detractors out on the table (I honestly didn’t notice flies either). We will be back when we return to the island in January with many of...
