We can order off the menu and that will include a coffee OR juice for free. There is also a local special for $70 pesos that can come with either pancakes or French toast that also includes free coffee OR juice. All breakfasts also include a free bread basket and their wonderful marmalades.
Last week a few ladies enjoyed Eggs Benedict and the banana pancakes with coconut ice cream and said they were wonderful. I think I’ll try the pancakes this time. Check out his FB page at https://www.facebook.com/AmparosCozumel/?fref=ts
