Cozumel Grill - Eclectic

In the sleepy little community known as Eclectic Alabama you can find a small town Mexican Restaurant that is a local favorite. Vicki and I eat there quite often and have tried most of the menu. Understand that we have spent a considerable amount of time in Mexico, so we know what true Mexican food is all about. Cozumel is what we classify as American Mexican, with a few items on the menu that are truly authentic.  Don't be afraid to ask for diversions, such as soft corn tortillas. They will accommodate. 

As with almost any Mexican Restaurant north of the border, chips and salsa greet you as soon as you are seated. The salsa at Cozumel is light and pureed, and contains an optimal amount of Cilantro. Too much cilantro and it overpowers. Too little and you ask yourself, "What is missing here"? They get it right here every time.

Vicki loves avocado. She always orders it as soon as the chips are brought. In a lot of restaurants that we have visited, they will bring you a few slices. Here at Cozumel, you get an entire Avocado for the same price. 

Vicki chose Fish Tacos. They come with some rather tasty Pico De Gallo, sliced avocado, and lime. 3 nice fillets of fish, seasoned well, grilled and served with a choice of corn or flour tortillas. Go with the soft corn, it's a traditional choice.

I went with the chicken Quesadilla Supreme. I really like the way they choose to serve their version. The 'dilla' is cut into wedges and laid on top of the bed of lettuce, guacamole, sour cream and sliced jalapeno. I prefer this presentation to the alternative at most restaurants, where the dilla is smothered by the lettuce. 

Cozumel Grill, a great little place to enjoy American Mexican. Clean, great service and always more food than you can eat.
