Don't skip the roasted veggies- I turned the leftovers into my lunch the next day. The guacamole is deliciously unique- served on a crunchy pork rind. The meatballs are tasty, like elevated sweetish meatball dish. We had Palomas- the first round was good but the second round was a bit too sweet, that's ok tho. We will be back!

Axiote Cocina de México was an incredible, beautiful restaurant, and one of the highlights of our…read moretrip--a perfect reminder to get out of the hotel and experience the local fare. The space is warm and completely unpretentious--wood, simple tables, an open kitchen and a palapa-style roof. Nothing about it screams "fine dining," and that's part of the charm. The perfectly prepared food does all the work. We chose the tasting experience, and bite for bite it was outstanding. The fried mushrooms were perfect, the fish ceviche was awesome, and the beef tongue was cooked beautifully. And don't be afraid of the grasshoppers--seriously. Yummy. Even ingredients I normally don't gravitate toward, like black beans, were used so thoughtfully that I enjoyed them. The drink pairings were equally impressive--tequila, beer, wine and espresso--and each one genuinely complemented the course it accompanied. We were basically the only guests that evening, and our waiter turned that into a wonderfully personal experience. He patiently answered every one of our many "American questions" about the ingredients, preparation and pairings, never making us feel rushed or out of place. A sincere thank-you to him, the cooks--who my partner and I gave a standing ovation to--and the entire team for making the evening so memorable. My one tiny suggestion? Cloth napkins. With that many courses, sauces and textures, the paper ones felt a little out of step with the quality of the food. But when the napkin is your biggest criticism, they're doing something right. And then there's the value. For an experience of this quality, the price was remarkable. Our total was about $320 including tip for the full tasting experience and pairings for two. We have spent more than twice that on comparable special-occasion dinners at home, so Axiote felt not just exceptional, but genuinely budget-friendly for what you receive. Axiote is relaxed, confident, welcoming and absolutely worth leaving the resort for. Go hungry, ask questions, trust the kitchen--and yes, eat the grasshoppers.

Wish I got the tasting menu but I opted for 3 of the specialties instead and they were delicious... Tasting menu is best value tho! I got the raw trout sashimi thing and it was by far the best plate of the meal (first dish/appetizer) , then got the shrimp flautas (good not amazing) then I got the trout loin for the entree (good not amazing) Skinny marg was perfect and so was the waitress! Would recommend and go back but like I said I would for sure do with the 6 or 8 course tasting menu!

What makes this place greater than the rest is the exceptional panoramic view of the ocean, absolutely breath taking. Add a pool and bar to this view and you have paradise. We went on a weekday and there were not many people there. An employee was down the street dressed in a uniform labeled polo trying to promote the place, but we already knew what we were looking for when he recruited us. He kindly led the way in and was very friendly. We mentioned we were thinking of renting or going on a boat during our vacation and he gave us his card saying that he had a boat in case we were interested in renting it. The hotel is super modern, like something out of space station, which plenty of colors and flowing lines to please the eye. Part of the rooftop is covered by a roof with scattered sky light windows. The rest of the roof is under the sun including the infinity pool with a speaker in the corner. The pool was almost unoccupied and I felt so lucky to have so much space taking a dip while taking in the beauty of the ocean. The ocean view was unreal, with various shades of blue. Just look at the photos I posted. Along the edge of the roof closest to the ocean are several tables for dining. There were a couple massage tables set up in the back awaiting customers. They have a full bar that makes some pretty good cocktails. I ordered some drink with mezcal that came with funky seeds. A DJ came out later and played some chill beats while we sat and relaxed. There is plenty of shade for those who cannot handle much sun, although I loved absorbing the rays while sitting in the pool overlooking the ocean. The view matched with the pool is mainly why I love this place so much. If I lived in this area, I would go here all the time, and I am not one to do repeat visits very often. I definitely recommend going during the day to get an exceptional view of the water, although I have a feeling it's almost as great to go at night, too.

The service is quick, the prices are incredibly reasonable, and the food is consistently delicious. Before your meal even arrives, you're served a plate of fresh radishes, cucumber, and lime wedges, plus a selection of toppings including tomatoes, onions, and both a green and red salsa. Unfortunately this location didn't give us the cactus like the other locations did. The red salsa was my favourite, it paired perfectly with the tacos and had just the right amount of heat and flavour. The standout for me was the al pastor taco. The meat was incredibly flavourful with crispy edges, a smoky char, and the perfect balance of savoury spice and sweet pineapple. It was easily one of the best al pastor tacos I had in Playa del Carmen. I also tried the sirloin taco and the chicken breast plate, both of which were excellent. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and the quality was impressive, especially for the price. El Fogón absolutely lived up to the hype. If you're looking for authentic, delicious tacos and grilled meats that won't break the bank, this is a must visit. I loved it so much that I ended up eating at all three locations and every visit was just as good as the last.
