Beautiful location and excellent service in Montezuma. We were greeted immediately and seated in a lovely area overlooking the sea. I have nothing bad to say about the service, menu or location. However, due to the fact I got terrible food poisoning, I had to...rate this place at a 2/5. 😞
Service was friendly and very efficient. Our margaritas were perfect! We then ordered the ceviche for a share appetizer. It was not what we expected as it was thinly sliced raw fish and served with fresh bread but certainly not the ceviche we’re used to (but not bad).
We then each ordered beef fillets for dinner. My husband had his simply grilled and I decided to have the pepper steak. BIG MISTAKE! Although both tasted FANTASTIC, I ended up (with my pepper steak) waking up at 1AM with extreme food poisoning! I was vomitting for 6 hours straight and also had severe diarrhea. My husband and I had eaten everything exactly the same all day. Our only difference was at dinner when I had the pepper steak and that’s when I got violently ill. It all tasted fine at the time but clearly, something was not good with the pepper sauce. 🤮 I then spoke to a few other people staying at the same place in Montezuma, and learned that someone else also had sever food poisoning recently after eating the pepper steak. I’m thinking there may be some issues in the kitchen with keeping this pepper sauce “food safe”.
So if you’d like a nice dinner out in Montezuma, Cocolores is a beautiful place with wonderful cocktails and service, but AVOID the pepper steak unless you don’t mind having sever food poisoning and losing a day of your vacation!
Hopefully, all the other menu items are fine! 🙏More
