Pescadería San Carlos
Rated 4.6 out of 5(720)Featured$
Overview
Pescaderia San Carlos is a working fish shop on 50 Avenida Sur Bis in the Adolfo Lopez Mateos neighbourhood, with a small kitchen attached. Buying the fish and cooking the fish under the same roof is why the tacos here get named ahead of the waterfront restaurants by people who live on Cozumel.
What To Order
Fish tacos, which is what the place is known for, plus ceviche and whatever whole fish is in the case that day. Because it is a pescaderia first, the range shifts with the catch rather than following a fixed menu.
Good To Know
Cash only, Mexican pesos. Open Tuesday through Sunday 9:00am to 6:00pm, closed Mondays. The 9:00am opening means it covers a late breakfast, and the 6:00pm close means it will not cover dinner. There is indoor and outdoor seating and it is walk-in only. Phone is +52 987 872 7440.
Getting There
50 Avenida Sur Bis 261 in Adolfo Lopez Mateos, inland and south of Centro. It is a short taxi from the downtown waterfront and from Marina Fonatur, and worth the trip rather than an accident you stumble into.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do they take cards?
No. Cash only, in Mexican pesos.
What day are they closed?
Mondays. Tuesday through Sunday they run 9:00am to 6:00pm.
Why is a fish shop on a restaurant list?
Because the taco counter is attached to the fishmonger. The fish is not shipped in cooked, which is exactly why islanders rate the tacos here.
Do I need to book?
No. It is walk-in only, with indoor and outdoor seating.
When is the best time to go?
Earlier in the day, while the case is still full. The selection depends on what came in that morning.
