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.

This is a takeout by-the-slice pizza joint on the main tourist road in PDC. It's slightly away from…read morethe crowds, though. I picked the two best looking slices from the display. The pizza was underwhelming. The crust is very soft like sliced bread. There was very little sauce. And the cheese was meager. Overall this was mediocre pizza.

The taste is good because it uses natural ingredients, not like the commercial stuff that people have already gotten used to, like the ignorant comments they put here.

We were staying really close by during our holiday and decided to stay local for dinner. When we…read morearrived on a Saturday evening I think we were early enough to miss the rush. We sat outside the restaurant which is laid out nicely but keep in mind that you have a busy Oxo next door and the restaurant is very close to a car park. We were told initially that some of our food order would be longer than usual due to their chef being ill. This wasn't an issue as we weren't in a rush. We were provided with complimentary bruschetta to begin whilst we waited for our appetizer and main courses. To begin we had the tempura - fried veggies and seafood. The portion size was much bigger than I expected and although delicious, it was a little greasy. For main I ordered the carbonara which was delicious but did get quite rich towards the end. The portion size was huge and the crispy bacon bits were delicious. Overall the food was good value for money however I wasn't particular impressed by the service. It felt as though staff were running in and out for the duration of our meal and at times we weren't seen to despite being passed by on several occasions. I also didn't find all of the waiters/waitresses particularly welcoming. If the service had been better I would have given a solid 4 stars.

What a horrible experience third time in a year. We live just in front and decided to pop out for…read morelunch. Luckily it was opened. They took an order and we mentioned we have a flight so we asked to be sure it will be served in 20-25 minutes. We stAyed for 45 minutes and none of the appetizers have arrived. Waitresses said it was not our fault and that chef was alone. We cancelled the order after one hour waiting and they said ok whatever do what you want guys. Nobody cared. Ridiculous. Nobody apologized. We didn't have one bite of good. Just rude staff and empty restaurant! And owner was sitting inside and didn't give a damn. They handle this situation horrible and didn't even care. We left hungry and angry! Sad.

The pizza was good, but not at all what we ordered. The person we spoke to on the phone was extremely rude and hung up on me 2 times. If you don't speak Spanish, do not order from here.

We loved El Fogón so much we came back twice during our trip and that says everything. For a spot…read morethat's Michelin Guide-recognized, it still feels authentic, unpretentious, and very local. 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!!
