Saul “Lalo” Rodriguez, owner of El Cozumel Mexican Grill, confirmed the upcoming second location with What Now Detroit over the phone. However, the doors won’t open until Spring 2025 as the team is completely renovating the former Big Boy building, making the project a major investment and highly time-consuming.
Located inside Burton’s Courtland Center mall, El Cozumel has been a local staple ever since it first opened in 2008. The restaurant has an extensive menu featuring appetizers, salads, tacos and burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas, combination plates, fajita chicken, specialty seafood items, American fusion options, and a kid’s lunch menu.
