We were wandering around looking for the outdoor market that we visited several years ago and…read morestumbled upon this place. I guess "stumbled" is not exactly accurate because the store is enormous. It is like a hypermart in the US. It has everything from foods to kids' toys to refrigerators. It has everything that has even been made. Best of all, it is AC! The store was clean and well-kept. I don't have any context for price comparisons but things seemed to be reasonably priced.

This is Mexican Walmart and it's located less than a mile from Walmart, lol. Just a handful of…read moreblocks from the touristy Avenida 5, this is the place to get stuff like toiletries you forgot to pack, sunblock, bathing suits, and aqua shoes for local prices, along with beer, snacks, and housewares if that's what you're looking for. Plus it's fun to gravitate to where the locals do every day things. It's also fun to buy items packaged in Spanish. No, I don't speak the language, but how are you going to learn a little of your host country if you don't immerse yourself a little in it?

I've been wanting to try this place so one day for lunch I came in to grab a couple dishes for take…read moreout. I got a fettuccine chicken alfredo, taco dorados, and chilaquiles with meat. All the dishes were mediocre. Nothing about any of the dishes wowed me. You can get better pasta, tacos, and chilaquiles elsewhere in Playa. This place was super affordable, but I would rather pay a little more for better food. It's not bad bad..I just wouldn't come back.

I waited an unacceptable amount of time for my drink and my food respectively…read more The food itself was fairly good. I ordered the veggie burrito and added eggs. The plate came with fries. The fries were excellent. The were crisp on the bite and very fluffy inside. The burrito was smaller than average. The veggies were nicely grilled, neither too soft or too raw with just enough bite. The tortilla was fresh, soft, and chewy. I generally don't dock points for delays, but this was amongst the longest I've waited anywhere for food.

They also speak very little English so Español is much appreciated. Very sweet and helpful staff. Extremely reasonable prices.
