My husband couldn't tell me no. We grabbed a spot and were immediately seated. The menu screamed to me that I picked the perfect spot. A beer for everyone. But I used self control to try a local mexican beer, which was great. I also needed some food to soak up some alcohol. The fries were crispy, delicious, and saved me from being *too* hungover the next day. Such a great spot. Cool location with a welcoming atmosphere. If you're visiting, highly recommend.

We are a middle-aged couple who visits Playacar at least once or twice each year. We've visited the…read moreBarra Artesanal on most visits. This year, we returned EVERY DAY of our vacation! The lovely lady that was working the bar whose name we both already forgot was the warmest, most enthusiastic and positive person you could ever meet! She smiled so much it almost made MY cheeks hurt! She sang along with every song that came on! We had the nachos con res the first visit, and a few of their IPA beers. My favorite was the Mosaic IPA. EXCELLENT beer! The nachos were fantastic, but the two condiments that came with them were REALLY hot!! Consider yourself warned! Also had a freshly made Don Julio Margarita! One of the days, the bar was closed because they were having mechanical issues with the refrigeration system. But the next day we went back and had beef tacos and some more IPA. Again, this lady just made the place vibrant and cheerful. On our final day, we went back and there was a guy working there. This guy never smiled. He was low energy and really should not be working in a position where he deals with the public. Because of his unfriendly demeanor we decided to just have one beer each and go on with our day. Since the order was so small, we decided to just pay cash. This guy tipped himself GENEROUSLY! Let's put it this way. The tacos and I think 5-6 beers cost $53US. He charged us $20US for two beers!! Either way, we had a fantastic vacation, and we will be back as soon as possible!!

The service is very friendly and the beer selection and food selection are very good for a gastropub. It is fairly priced for both draft and bottled craft beer. They also have staples like Victoria and Tequila at fairly reasonable prices. This is one of the cooler places on 5th Ave which I've found gets better and better from around 26th up.

Okay, to be honest, a German restaurant in Playa was the last place you were going to find me. I…read moreknew it to be very popular with expats, but that's just not my food. But a good friend had her birthday celebration here, so off to Manne's I go...and they seriously impressed me. We were seated in the garden area, which was very nice. Great service for our large group-attentive, timely, separate and correct checks, fun and friendly-pretty amazing really. The margarita was also pretty fantastic! My dinner (sausage and fries) was fine, but again it's not really my thing-everyone there enjoyed what they got, so it is good food. And at the end of the night they brought out shots of the house tequila and we got our party on. I can definitely see why it's so popular.

No gimmicks, just seriously good tacos. The tacos were packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and served hot and fresh every time. You can taste the quality and the technique especially in the way the meat is cooked and carved. Everything felt simple but done right, which honestly is what makes a taco stand out. The atmosphere is lively and busy (for good reason), but service moves quickly and efficiently. It feels like the kind of place locals actually eat at, not just a tourist trap with hype. We fully intended to try different taco spots around Playa del Carmen... but after our first visit, we couldn't resist coming back. When a place makes you change your food itinerary, you know it's worth it. If you're in Playa and debating whether it lives up to the hype it does!!
