Very enjoyable experience at this location. The staff was attentive and the food was good. I left full and with a little buzz for sure. My husband loved their mixed ceviche. We travel a lot but have not had it prepared this way before with so many different types of seafood. I would highly recommend you try it.
Very good seafood and ice cold beer! The fried sierra fish and shrimp were delicious.
We opted to stay outside of the booming Playa Norte hotel zone in Isla Mujeres to opt for a local Colonia, which came with its own stunning, off-the-beaten-path recommendations best known to locals. We came to Justicia de Don Pino, owned by an elderly lifetime local named Jorge, who is missing a few teeth, owns a local winning baseball team, and runs a family establishment whose reputation precedes them. The aguachile is a must try, and their other ceviches are as prized, but the aguachile specifically had the perfect balance of acid and spice, heat and refreshment. We also had their cream pasta with shrimp, which was such a generous portion of fresh shrimps, and finally, we tried to lobster tail which came with all the fixings, was simple, fresh and perfect. For seafood, this is where you want to be. Exceptional service, exceptional food. It’s good to be local.
Great little spot. The service is excellent, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is cozy. There are family pictures all over the walls dating back to the mid 1900s. We had horchata, cazon (shark) tacos and fried fish. Stop in early and order the tikin xic fish (takes two hours). It's the Yucatan fish preparation with achiote and citrus wrapped in banana leaves. My daughter and I loved this spot.
Delicious local seafood restaurant. Service was great and meal was amazing. We ordered the mix seafood tacos which was conch, shrimp, and octopus and the pescado Diablo that was spicy but perfect.
We came for lunch. Very clean restaurant and excellent customer service. We also We ordered: Grilled shrimp, a lobster tail meal, seafood caldo, spaghetti a la Bolognesa, and fish tacos. All of our dishes had great seasoning/taste! Recommend!
The service was outstanding and the food was some of the best on the island.
One of the best restaurants on Isla. Off the beaten path and frequented by locals. Amazing ceviche and ice cold beer!
