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!!

Casual place with mostly indoor seating that is completely opened up in the front to enjoy the outdoors. We had dinner of guacamole and pescado frito. Fish was very fresh and not fishy at all. Fried perfectly, crisp exterior while meat remained tender. Everything was seasoned well. Portion was large. A small fish order could easily feed 2. There was a downpour during dinner but we stayed dry and comfortable. Prices are on the higher end especially for MX, but for quality it was worth it. We tried coming back but they were either closed or closing due to the rain.

My group and I stopped here while on a week long vacation in Cancun. We stay on a resort nearby and…read morego out to eat every night. In the past this place has always been a staple for us, but each year we go we like it a little less. This year majority of the group was disappointed in the entire experience from the service to the food. To start, the service was lacking compared to what we get at other local restaurants nearby. Our servers did not frequently come back to ask if we needed anything and we were constantly having to ask to get our waters refilled. The drinks are good, but nothing we can't get elsewhere. Half of our group enjoyed (but not loved) their food and half did not enjoy. My SO and I split the al pastor meal. In the past we have loved this, but this time it felt like they rushed to make it and the flavors we remembered just weren't there. It was still good, but I think it could have been better. I do love the churro cart here, but you can get good churros several other places. Overall, this place has gone downhill in our opinion, and for the price it isn't worth it when there so many better options close by. I'm sure we will be back, but I think we might skip a year stopping here.

There was flavor, there was kick, and for a very good price. We highly recommend this place for all visitors! They do not take card as there is no internet connection so bring cash!

Hubby thought he was ordering 1 taco and 1 cheese empanada. He didn't read well. It was 3 of each! They were all fab, and he ate them all!

My husband usually gets a whole fried fish, but none were available on our last visit so he tried the fish fajitas instead. They were fresh and delicious. I tried the chile relleno and it was one of the best I've had anywhere, which is saying a lot because I love a good chile relleno. The chips and pico de gallo were also fresh and hard to stop eating. And the margaritas are always great. The staff is friendly and efficient, and they have several folks that speak English when out limited Spanish isn't enough. We definitely think it's worth a stop and recommend giving it a try.

For a place in such a popular destination, the prices were surprisingly reasonable. I'll admit I'm not usually a fan of mole, but their chicken mole enchiladas are an A+. Perfectly balanced and absolutely satisfying. The cochinita pibil - slow cooked suckling pig marinated with anatto, and bitter orange was spot on, bursting with bold, authentic flavors. And the queso fundido with longaniza (not chorizo, mind you) was rich, melty, and absolutely delicious. All that for around $45 for two. Definitely a win.
