Oh Jeez, stranded in our hotel because of a monsoon like rain, by 11am we were coffeed out, and starving. We started down the road in ankle deep water heading towards the main drag, MIGUEL HIDALGO. While slowly inching our way there barefoot, the water level was soon to my knees. Another tourist, standing in the doorway of her hotel, asked where we were going? She informed us that it probably wasn’t open, as the electrical wiring on the island was not very stable in storms. Oh dear, and here we are in water!!! HELP !! So we walked 3 doors down and Compadres was open for business, thank God. By then the water was over my knees… ok, I am only 5’3′.
A staff member helped us up the steps, and we were 1 of 2 parties there. Kind of traumatizing!
All of the staff was so calm, and assured us that as soon as it stopped raining, the water level would be normal in less than an hour. They were correct! They hooked us up with Tequila Sunrises, and incredible breakfasts. Our food was served in courses, and that was perfect, it allowed the booze to kick in and settle us down. Biscuits, pancakes. custom omelets, bacon, and old familiar tater triangles. OMG. All served with a smile :-)
Also, it was very clean and cute in here. The focus is on service, food, and cleanliness! Love It. Such an accommodating spirit! We left full, happy, and unterrorized.
THANK YOU FOR SAVING US WITH SUCH A KIND HEART

Buen lugar para ir a desayunar si estás en isla mujeres, tienen muchas cosas mexicanas y está rico, buenos precios y está bien localizado.

really good fresh food and good service. we would like to go back and try some more dishes.

The food here was so good. My favorite was the fried fish. It was a group of 6 and they were able to accommodate us with patio seating. We first ordered chips and salsa. The salsa was so fresh with the right hunt of lemon. Next we ordered nachos. The quest has the right amount of chopped peppers where it wasn’t overpowering with heat. Just the right amont. I has fried red snapper and it was the whole fish… head and tail. It was so good that everyone at the table at most of my food but theirs was just as good

Great special! Some of the yummiest fish tacos in Mexico – fish is well seasoned and it’s served with fajita vegetables. Recommend!

This place is out of this world. In my book one of the best places on Isla Mujeres for food.
Waited a year to come back again just to eat breakfast here, that good.
Indoor seating with a/​c. If you want to feel the energy of the island then seat outside.
Wifi supported, a must if you’re on vacation.
Say hi to Max while you are there. Max is the local dog.
They have excellent coffee too.

A good place right along Hidalgo that was quick, hot and fresh.
We had a family diner with two kids, the Bohemia’s arrived ice cold and came quickly, as did the children’s drinks. Guacamole and tortillas were first, both nice and fresh. Shrimp tacos were breaded, but tasty with chipotle mayonnaise, and the Mexican platter included a nice selection of authentic cuisine.
Our hosts were gracious and we were looked after quickly and with aplomb.

Everyone we asked recommended Compadre, so we went.
Right on Hidalgo, we sat outside and the mango margaritas we ordered were in our hands in just 2 minutes. A good start!
Our server was darling and was assisted by a quiet lovely woman.
The prices are reasonable and the food is good. Our server even shook his head and redirected me from the vegetable soup to the chicken soup with rice — which turned out to be truly delicious.
Two of us had fried whole fish with tortillas, which was a special (it was red snapper) and were pleased.
Smiles, good food, a nice «dining-​in-​a-​Mexican-​town» setting. We enjoyed it and can recommend. 3 drinks each + dinner came to about $ 25/​per person with tip.
They are cash only, so bring your pesos or dollars.

Our experiences with restaurants on Isla Mujeres have led us to believe that, on the average, the dining experience here is about one star lower than other comparable places on the Mayan Riviera (Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Akumal, Tulum, etc.). Not a problem, but worth noting. Others may experience differently!
Compadres is a typical Mexican-​themed, indoor-​outdoor restaurant with tables spilling out into the crowded Calle Hidalgo. Prices are very reasonable.
We stopped in on a hot June evening, enjoying the sparser throngs of people found in low season. We were seated immediately and ordered «2×1» Bohemias which arrived ice-​cold.
A fish special was red snapper, which we ordered simply grilled, along with an order of tortilla chips and black beans, and a bowl of limon soup. The limon soup was tasty but we were wanting to taste more lime! The fish was the slightest bit salty, though well prepared and satisfying. Nothing wrong.
On to the next place!
