Mexican Breakfast at La Chosa

Seven Hours in Cozumel
​

---

There are more Mexican restaurants in Houston than on the whole island of Cozumel, so I hardly need to travel for Mexican food.   But it's worth a trip (even if your cruise only allows 7 hours) just to have breakfast at La Choza!

4th Visit
​

---

This was the 4th visit to Cozumel for my family and we had never tried a meal at this colorful café.  We hit the jackpot when we stumbled across La Chosa at about 8 am.

​Good Way to Wake Up
​

We look like we just rolled out of bed and we sort of did.  We woke early on the ship, threw on swimsuits and headed far into town away from the tourists.  We found the open doors of La Choza on the quiet Avenue 10.  We sat with our cinnamon spiced coffee and complimentary breakfast cookies enjoying the warm breeze passing through from the open patio.

​The Food
​

---

Surrounded by colorful murals, plants, painted figures and bird songs from the garden, we dug into a feast that ordinarily would have made me crave a morning siesta.  But we by the time we finished we were all awake and fueled up and ready for a day of scuba and beach adventures.

Migas
​

---

I have had migas many a time in Texas, but this to me was the best I've ever eaten.  Maybe I was just impressed that the tortilla strips didn't get soggy in the perfect mixture of scrambled eggs and bacon.  Maybe it was just the relaxed feeling of being in Cozumel before it gets busy and hot.  Perfecto!

Music and Margaritas
​

---

I will mention one other place on the island, that is better known by tourists. Palmeras. There's plenty of open air seating with a view of the water and there's always the musical entertainment of mariachis.  But, more memorable than food is the margarita experience. Beware, they are strong.  I will say nothing more.
