Isla Mujeres: Come for the Food — the World-Renowned Beaches are a Bonus

La Lomita was the very first restaurant visited on my first trip to Isla Mujeres in February 2005. Landing at noon, we made the decision to grab lunch and pick up some groceries before hailing a cab for Villas Punta Sur at the south end of the island. A map was consulted to get our bearings. Looking up Avenida Juarez, there was La Lomita, just a half a block away. Thus began a multi-year love affair with Isla Mujeres and its food.
