DINNER REVIEW
While I am usually skeptical of the restaurants on the main drag in Isla Mujeres that are coaxing you to come in, Rolandi’s was an overall good experience.
We went around Christmas time and the interior was very festive with Christmas decorations. The interior is only matched by the quality and quantity of service. By quality, I mean that our every ask was quickly filled. By quantity, they had TONS of waiters. More than they needed. Which in turn led to high quality of service.
You will first be served their “bread” which is more of a thin pita/pizza crust like concoction that comes fresh from the oven...WOW this is delicious.

The skin sticks to the salt so the fish you eat is perfectly steamed and delicious - not salty at all. The server de-boned our fish using only a spoon and we found only one tiny bone in our serving. One of the most unique and interesting meals you'll ever have - and the fish...
