Chipper price ever . Local prices and food, but you need to go inside and go through restaurants on a back.

Casa Denis was an amazing place to eat and experience cozumel. I was served amazing tacos de carne Canada and given a personalized tour of the history of the restaurant. Food was on point and the service was immaculate. Highly recommend.

I've been coming to this Restaurant for 6 yrs. All the locals eat here. Their Chile Relleno is my favorite. 11 US. Their salsa & chips are homemade. Actually, everything is homemade. Don't forget top ask for a mango margarita & you'll get a free shot of the finest tequila made from Almonds @ the end of your dinner.

The food was absolutely amazing! We enjoyed the Sopa de Lima, Guacamole and chips, Cochinita Pibil and the Plato Mexicano. Everything was very authentic and delicious. The service was outstanding with Ricardo taking excellent care of us. The restaurant had a great deal of history including the photos of visitors Fidel Castro and Jackie Onassis Kennedy. There is a reason it has been around and popular since 1945. We will visit it again when we return to Cozumel!!

My wife I visited Casa Dennis about 3 weeks ago on vacationing in Cozumel. I first ate at this restaurant 35 years ago. This was our 10th trip to the island and we have eaten at this restaurant on every trip we have taken thereThe restaurant is very nondescript and located just off of Benito Juarez Square. The food has always been excellent along with the staff.Sorry I didn't take any pictures this time. Didn't think to just enjoyed ourselves. I've had multiple different dishes off the menu and every one of them has been a joy to eat.

Wonderful spot for lunch off the main drag. Real authentic vibe in this place. Sit in the courtyard if you can. Great attention for the table from our guy. We ate like kings and spent very little USD.Fundito was fantastic. Tacos that everyone got where awesome. Flavors of everything were perfect. Got lots of bottle soda. Got some good bottle sol beer. Will be back the next time I am in Cozumel.

We first came to Casa Denis in 2017 on a cruise stop. As soon as we decided to come to Cozumel for a full week this year, I knew we had to make a stop here. I’ve been dreaming of the Conchinita Pibil since first having it, and they did not disappoint. My husband was also looking forward to having their chicken and steak fajitas again. We also tried the shrimp fajitas, chicken enchiladas, margaritas, fondido, beans and guac were also delish. We also enjoy that this is right in the main square, so lots of good people watching, light breezes off the ocean, and even a serenade! Definitely worth the stop and experience.2024 update: Casa Denis is one of our favorites, and after visiting in 2017 and 2023, we made this a must eat stop on our trip and it didn’t disappoint. My daughter tried the chimichangas this time and they were delicious. I had my favorite conchinita pibil and we tried their mahi mahi fish special. Definitely recommend!

This place was founded in the 40’s and has the distinction of being one of the oldest restaurants in Cozumel. The food is delicious and inexpensive. This is a great stop for a quick lunch in town, or a first meal in Cozumel.The guacamole is good, but the Empenadas are TO DIE FOR.
