Chef Emily took our group of 8 here for lunch. What a great time. The fish was fresh, they can prove it, and was very tasty. The place has a full bar and live entertainment but closes pretty early. It is a great place for fish!

A little hard to find and well worth the effort. Best shrimp ceviche ever. They started us with a dish of free fish ceviche, added a complimentary bowl of mixed soup. One order of the ceviche was enough for both of us. Wow!

If you're just a tourist stick with the Senior Frog restaurant at the pier... if you're a traveler you have got to check this place out! The trip to and from is part of the experience, but the destination 'Pescaderia San Carlos' is the real deal! Great fresh fish, great service, great pricing and authentic in every aspect. You will...

During our research on where to eat in Cozumel (one day stop on cruise) this was a must see....so we went and saw. The Seafood Ceviche was AWESOME (we had never eaten this before) and boy it will be a must on my seafood must have list. We ordered a whole fish to share and is was FABULOUS. The beers... More

The only thing I really enjoyed was the ceviche, fresh and full of flavour; service is good and friendly. But thats about it. There are other places with better food and prices.

You really have to make your way out to this restaurant. The food was awesome, theres three items on the menu shrimp, fish or conch and made difereent ways and they do it well. Order the ceviche to share, even the small is well portioned. The fish, depending what was caught that day, is done in three different ways. Delicious.

This place is incredible. I can't recommend it enough. We ate here every chance we had and I tried to tell as many people about it at our resort as possible. If you like seafood you will LOVE this little local place. It's located at 50 Bis between 3 and 5 calle. It is closed Mondays but open 9am -... More

We ate here twice during 2 weeks in March 2013. Great food and atmosphere. Our favorites were ceviche and fried grouper fillets. Hard to find due to one way streets but worth the look. Look from Casa Mission one block west and one block south.

I really enjoyed my visit to Pescaderia San Carlos. I tried to find it on my last visit but never found it. This visit I was with two of my friends who live on the island. I had the grilled fish with garlic. Very good and reasonably priced! I will be back next year and won't miss it!
