The king of tacos, indeed!…read more This is hands down the best place to get tacos in Playa del Carmen. They're cheap (12 pesos apiece) and the arrachera will redefine what it means to LOVE a taco. The truck parks in front of Mega during the day, but the hours can be somewhat finicky; you may go some days and it's already moved elsewhere. It's easy to find though, because it'll be the only one with a huge mass of people around it! There's plenty of grilled and raw onions to be had for toppings, along with cucumber and a spicy red sauce that brings tears to even this Sriracha-obsessed palette! Two to three tacos is perfect for lunch.

A MUST GO !!!…read more Probably the BEST taco place in the area esp with the price. We went to another spot the day before but in line, there was an agreement that this place is much better. Once you go here, you can't go anywhere else. The only downside is that there is likely always a wait. We only had to wait 15 minutes the few times we went though. Everything was delicious!! From the drinks (which were quite sweet) and the food. The meats were flavorful and juicy. The price was great! We typically spent $20 for our meals but of course tipped for their amazing service and food. This place may not have a lot of reviews (which i don't get why?!?!) but it was amazing!!!

Tacos: Al pastor, sirloin - the kids enjoyed quickly and nibbled on other entrees. Chicken quesadilla with grilled chicken - tasty plain, but even better as I alternately ate pieces with the green and red smokey salsas. This meal states "three pieces" but it was three separate quesadillas, which I shared. Steak dinner was prepared well and included a soup, tortillas, and baked potato so we had leftovers. The restaurant felt quite busy but service was adequate given the large parties at each table.

I know it's Mexico and it's generally done well a lot of places but this guacamole was notable. Seafood was excellent. I have a shrimp allergy so it was good that they indicated that the fish fillet was cooked in the same style and to avoid. Instead I had a fantastic tuna tostado and King Octopus dish. Their aguachiles fish was fresh and tasty as well. All in all, highly recommend. Price point is on the higher side but not as much as fine dining.

We were looking to try out some traditional desserts that we had never experienced before. Of the many food carts parked side by side, this one seemed to attract our attention the most. We stood by and watched how the Marquesita is made. Batter is added to a crepe pan and cooked made to order. A variety of fillings were available to choose from, but we asked for their most popular food item. Apparently shredded cheese and nutella is a favorite choice of the locals. Joe K and I shared this unusual dessert combo, and the blend was better than I expected. I wasn't quite sure at first if I would like cheese and chocolate together, but it turned out pretty tasty after all. It was a nice ending to our all day food truck food binge at the park!

So, being the first English language reviewer on the page, let me explain what this is. Marquesitas are pastries, to go pastries to be exact, rolled into some sort of a fried crispy tortilla, with cheese and a dash of nutella. Granted, there are a few variations, but the one I got appeared to be the most common. The flavor combo is amazing and it's a true street food dessert that you cannot miss while traveling! The truck stays open late, I came close to 11pm. Sometimes the most unexpected combinations get you, so you if you are a mildly adventurous eater, make sure to give this a try!

It was SO GOOD, I think it might have been the best hot dog I've ever had and ordered one for myself. I ended up sharing it with my other friend (they also ran out of hotdog buns so we just ate it with a fork), and since it was after dinner, half of it was good enough for two people. I could have ordered another one just for the taste, but we were there late and they stopped serving food. I had several mezcalitas, played jenga which was on the table already (the table next to us also had one, and enjoyed the overall vibe. It was an outdoor place with covering, so it did shield us from the downpour. There is a bar in the back, and picnic tables in the "main area". It reminded me of a beer garden a little. Very chill and relaxed place, and the servers and bartenders were nice.

One taking the orders and serving and a young man working the grill like a pro. We got a super big torta with braised pork. The sandwich looked so good - I gulped in down in flashes only to realize I haven't taken a picture of it. Too late. Then my eyes went on the tacos with the red hot braised pork, pickled red onions and a side of home made salsa and avocado purée. Although only 10:30 am - I had to get the tacos. And this time I didn't forget to take a picture before downing the same like a hungry wolf. A jar of sliced orange and green habanero peppers in equally hot juice was placed in front of us with the avocado purée. I was not scared of the Orange hot peppers and dared myself to put 2 slices of em on each of my tacos. No regrets. Something I will remember for the rest of my life. Best street food I have had in my life - yet. Simply sublime.
