Isla Mujeres is characterized by its tropical island climate, crystal clear waters and white sand beaches, it offers the right conditions for lobster fishing, which was previously considered a dish for the poor, but from a few years now it is considered a fancy dish. After that, lobster will begin to be offered as an exclusive dish for its flavor and presentation in porcelain plates.
