Laguna Tres Mujeres — Restaurant in Isla Mujeres

This was by far the best meal we had on the island. The staff were helpful and spoke excellent English. The owner came by at the end of the meal to thank us for coming.

For appetizers, we ordered the guacamole (big chunks of avocado and tomato, tasted wonderful), the nachos (perfect combo of refried beans and cheese), and shrimp ceviche (tangy and flavorful). For mains we had coconut popcorn shrimp—the menu says “You should try it,” and I couldn’t agree more. Probably the best coconut shrimp I’ve ever eaten. We had the shrimp gubernador tacos which were swimming in queso. The fish tacos were fried in fluffy batter and accompanied by creamy chipotle sauce and an olive oil habanero dressing that my husband raved about. The chicken tacos are a safe bet for the less adventurous eater. And at the opposite end of the spectrum, the octopus came out as two whole octopuses on a bed for fried potato medallions . It was cooked perfectly, but might surprise someone who is expecting just a few pre-chopped tentacles.

All in all, it was the perfect meal to end our visit...

If you’re on the golf cart and driving down the main road then be sure to stop by Laguna Tres Mujeres. It may not look like much from the outside but the food is worth the stop. Like they say, “don’t judge a book by its cover.” I’ll start with the classic margarita. They had a two for one special so of course we had to take advantage of that. It’s light, refreshing with a nice little kick. The taco’s arrachera were some of the best. The meat was extremely tender and flavorful. It came with a perfect blend of sweet and spicy hot sauce that provided a nice touch. On the side was what appeared to be a green buttery sauce but be careful, one drop is enough to open the fiery gates of hell. The arrachera nachos with black beans were “DELICIOSO.” Not sure what kind of cheese they’re using but whatever it is, it has you craving for more. The cheese quesadilla with bacon was another dish that I would recommend. The bacon had a nice crisp that added the perfect texture that complimented the gooey cheese. This is a place we’ll definitely...

I’m so happy my husband and I stopped in here for dinner. I got the fish tacos and he got the shrimp tacos, and we also got guacamole to share. I am not exaggerating when I say these we’re some of the best tacos we have ever had. To add to that statement, we are from San Diego area, a city rich with some of the best Mexican food in the states, and we often visit Baja California as well. My husband said these tacos we’re almost better than my moms, which is really saying something! the service and destination are great as well. It’s got a great energy, and great music, and great drink prices. I also have to mention that once our server found out that we we’re there on our honeymoon he surprised us with a little bottle of sand and shells as a keepsake from the island, just to be kind. I nearly cried. This was our best dinner our entire honeymoon, we will be back every...
