Your meeting location is across the street from your cruise ship pier. Your driver will be waiting for you to whisk you off to the pop-up just a short ride away. On the ride from your pier into town, get your appetite ready for the mouth-watering local dishes from 7 Mexican states, you’ll travel the country by way of your taste buds.

Chef Alejandro will treat you to each course and its beverage pairing, giving a cultural history lesson along with the meal. Be sure to bring your sense of adventure and appetite for this experience. This 90-minute culinary treat is perfect for cruiseship guests!

The day's menu is kept a secret and element of surprise only revealed upon your arrival to add to the suspense and surprise. But be guaranteed it is not standard taco stand items served nor is the presentation or setting! Just as examples, your courses will include items such as shrimp, carne en su jugo, cochinita pibil, dessert, and more each paired with a beverage such as mezcal, tequila, wine, beer, tamarind water, horchata, and many other foods and beverages.

Each food dish and beverage highlights a Mexico region or tradition. Fine china, silver flatware, and real furniture all in a tranquil zenlike surrounding...no plastic chairs or paper plates! When you book please indicate if you have dietary restrictions so the hosts can try and accommodate.

This dining adventure is owned and operated by a local Cozumel couple who want to share their love of the culture and its food. They have set up a dining room and kitchen as a pop-up restaurant in their home so that you can come and enjoy a different kind of dining experience. All the food is lovingly freshly prepared and brought immediately to your table. 

During your 90-minute meal, you’ll be able to learn more about Mexico with a unique audiovisual presentation. Immerse yourself in the colors, music, and images of the 7 states that provide your dishes. Here you’ll see and learn about the various nature reserves, biodiversity, magical towns, spectacular locations, architecture, history and best of all, the Mexican people with their lovely traditions.

At the end of your excursion, the driver will return to your Cozumel cruise terminal.
