GASTRONOMY

In Cozumel, much like in the rest of the Yucatan Peninsula, the cuisine is widely diverse thanks to the blending of indigenous and European influences. The traditional fare in the state of Quintana Roo is fish and seafood dishes, such as sea bass, red snapper, lobster and sea snails. The dishes are prepared with various spices and chili peppers commonly used in Quintana Roo cooking. During your stay, you can also try delicious Yucatecan favorites such as cochinita pibil (a marinated pork dish), chocolomo (a seasoned veal dish) and papadzules (enchiladas bathed in pumpkin seed sauce).
