“You know what we do-Film, eat, repeat; let’s go find something tasty to eat!” 🇲🇽
In this episode of Melton's on the Move, we’re diving into the heart of Cozumel to uncover a local secret! After asking our host for a true local recommendation, we ended up at Taquería El Mexicano-a spot where Cozumel residents bring their families for the most authentic tacos on the island. 🌮
Forget the tourist spots! We wanted to experience real Mexican flavors, so we went all-in on the menu, trying everything from Pastor and Tripa to Buche and Chirroz. Each bite brought us deeper into the island's rich culture and traditions, proving that the best food is often just a few steps off the beaten path.
What We Tried:
Pastor - Perfectly marinated and packed with flavor!
Tripa - A crispy, savory delight for true taco lovers.
Mixto - A delicious combo showcasing a variety of flavors.
Buche - Smooth and tender, a must-try for adventurous eaters.
Chirroz - Seasoned to perfection, with that classic Mexican spice.
Every taco was made with fresh ingredients, expertly seasoned, and served in a no-frills setting that felt like a true slice of local life. Whether you’re a taco connoisseur or just looking to try something different, Taquería El Mexicano delivers on all fronts.

Not only is the food incredible, but Taquería El Mexicano is also a welcoming spot where the locals gather to eat, laugh, and connect. We loved watching the cooks expertly prepare each dish with care and tradition. This taquería reminded us that some of the most memorable dining experiences come from small, family-run places that prioritize flavor and community over flashy decor.
