when in this town, I enjoyed the friendly service of El Fenicio restaurante with its touch of refinement but in an easy going environment and at reasonable prices
in Mexico the dinner time goes from about 18.00 to 21.00 and if you are looking for a restaurant in Chetumal after this time, there are two only remaining possibilities: hot dogs by a street trader (like the one in my bad taken pic... sorry the tripod was in the hotel...) or the fairly posh Los Cocos with its impeccable service: cloth and not paper table napkins, artistically folded, a glass of water served as soon as you sit down, which won't look so strange to a Canadian but it is in Mexico, and served with the important clarification that it's purified water in a refined atmosphere but not of the kind which inhibits or clashes with poverty, of the kind which mollycoddles you... even if my preference always goes to more 'local' places...
Favorite Dish: chicken tacos dorados at El Fenicio and a sopa with avocado and mexican sauce before the dish of melted queso (cheese) at Los Cocos
