Cheen Huaye - Southern Mexican Cuisine

I give it a 4.5 stars, (5* menu originality, 4* restaraunt style, 4.5* taste and 4.5* value with a $$ rating for price). To end the service was professional and friendly.

We stopped by for early Sunday lunch for our 1st time. I was surprised how comfortable and decorated the restaraunt was. It actually felt like a small-town standalone Mexican restaraunt in Cozumel even though it is located in a small strip center.

First...they have the typical Margaritas but they also have homemade juice like Lemonade and other Mexican juice drinks. The house provided Chips and Salsa. The Salsa was great!!! The house Chips were "not so great" as they were too thick and hard for our taste.

I ordered the Mole Chicken Enchiladas that came with refried Black Beans and Rice. The sauce was the typical Mexican dark mole sauce and made great! The chocolate was a little heavy but the spices really evened it out. The chicken was shreaded white breast a day plenty of it! The dish became too rich on the 3rd Enchillada but I finished it! My only complaint is that the Mole Sauce was over cooked around the edge of the plate like it sat under a heat lamp a little too long. PS...I give the yellow rice and black beans a strong 5 for a side dish.

My wife ordered the Carne Asada and was simply FANTASTIC! It actually is a flank steak marinated and served with a light thin wet sauce with red onions. The steak was perfectly cooked well-done for my wife. However, the steak was still tender and not dry. Of course, I had to taste it! I simply wanted to go back for dinner for that steak. This has to be the money plate!! I highly recommend it!!!

To end...if you are looking for a 4.5 star authentic Mexican Restaurant this is the place. We want to to go back when we are in the mood for Tacos. I will update this review then.
