Minino's, located in the picturesque Isla Mujeres, is a hidden gem that seafood lovers simply cannot miss. This charming restaurant has garnered an array of glowing reviews from satisfied patrons. The standout dish appears to be the grilled shrimp, praised by Jill Spurlin as the best she sampled during her week on the island. The stuffed seafood, rich with butter and garlic, also earned rave reviews, although some patrons suggest steering clear of the margaritas due to their artificial taste. Virginia Lucovich highlights the restaurant's exceptional ceviche and fried whole snapper, declaring it the best on the island. The affordability of Minino's compared to its north-side counterparts makes it a favored spot for both locals and tourists. Service is another significant highlight; Lina, a beloved server, enhances each dining experience with her attentive and friendly demeanor. Other visitors like Enoc Moctezuma appreciate the freshness of the fish, caught the same day it’s served, making for a delightful Ceviche Mixto and beautifully prepared fried fish. Overall, Minino's shines in its combination of delicious, reasonably priced seafood, charming service, and a welcoming atmosphere, making it a top choice for anyone visiting the island. Don’t miss it; just remember to arrive before 7 PM!

The seafood was great! I had the grilled shrimp, which were perfect, probably my favorite shrimp I had the entire week. My husband had the stuffed seafood with (lots of) butter and garlic, also tasty. The margarita tasted mostly of mix; I would not recommend it. The service was friendly.

We were recommend this place by our cancun airport shuttle driver. It is fantastic!! We are so happy he recommended it. We have been here for over 2 weeks now and continue to return because it's the best ceviche and fried whole snapper that we can find on the island. It's also not overpriced like the restaurants in the north part of the island. Lina, our favorite server, is always smiling and attentive. She makes the experience so much better! They close fairly early, so get there before 7! Minino's is our top pick for food on the island.

This restaurant has fresh fish served the day it was caught. Delicious Ceviche Mixto, and the Fried Fish was so good as well. I totally will come back and eat here when I visit the island again. I totally recommend this local restaurant to those that visit and like fresh seafood.

Our Airbnb hosts recommended this place so we decided to give it a go. Service was excellent, it was very fast and our server was very friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The portions were very big and the margaritas were simply delicious, giving you the options for salt or tajin rim. We went back the next day and I’m sure we would have gone back again should we have stayed more days as we would have loved trying more items in the menu. We didn’t try the fresh fish, but we saw another server showing different options to other customers and let me tell you, that fish was swimming in the morning. Definitely give them a visit if you are looking for a chilled vibe and amazing food and drinks!

This was the 1st restaurant we visited on the island. It was recommended by the airport shuttle driver. We are so thankful he recommended it! The waitstaff was very attentive, especially Lina! She was the highlight of our visits. The food was outstanding. We ordered the whole snapper every time we visited and were never disappointed. The ceviche was also outstanding. I recommend everyone try this restaurant. It's a local place without the tourist feel. Can't wait to return!!!

Some of the best seafood on Isla Mujeres. We eat here every year we come to Isla. Full of locals. We love this place. Lina our wonderful hostess is amazing. We arrived before they opened on our last visit but she still seated us. Coconut shrimp is to die for. I always get the whole fries snapper. Eat here you won't regret it.
