Growing up in Cozumel Island, Pepe’s has to make it to this list. Pepe’s was founded in 1966, and was founded by Don Eduardo Ruiz “Don Pepe.” Its long history makes this restaurant a must while visiting this island in the Mexican Caribbean. The location is exceptional as from a two story building you can see directly to the Caribbean Sea while scoping through a menu that has incorporated Asian, Italian and Mexican cuisines and also serves excellent quality Angus Beef steaks and seafood. Sharing meals is probably one of the smartest things to do when visiting this restaurant, as there are many delicious dishes on the menu to choose from. Some of the favorites are the Angus fillet carpaccio, Angus filet steak salad with lime-raspberry vinaigrette, and the special truffled lobster mac & cheese. Pepe’s also has a fresh fish fillet every day, and it is just a matter of asking the waitress what the fresh pick of the day, and decide the way you want them to cook it, and Voilá!
