Grilling station built inside a plain concrete block building, some coolers to keep things hot, and a beverage cooler round out the kitchen. Didnt notice any beers. There are tables inside to sit.

If you want a cheap lunch this is the spot! PDC is full of overpriced food and this little place is…read morea gem. They cook pork ribs and chicken all day long. Tasty, smokey, and fresh. Half a chicken to go with beans, rice, sauce, slaw, and tortillas is 70 pesos (Dec 2020). USD $3.50! They also have fresh juices (pina, horchata, tamarind) for 15 pesos. Price wise it's a 5. Taste wise I'd say closer to a 3 because this is a no frills place. Overall, a 4 because we have gotten lunch here a few times. Get your food and get out haha!

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!!

For my entrée, I had the skirt steak, and it was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The sweet potato with honey and cinnamon was absolutely delicious. My only real complaint is the portion sizes on a couple of items. The salad was very small, and I would have loved a more generous serving. I also ordered an amaretto sour. It was a little weak at first, so I asked for more amaretto, which made it better, but it still wasn't quite as strong as I prefer. The service was phenomenal. The staff was attentive, kind, and genuinely friendly throughout the entire experience. I felt well taken care of and truly enjoyed myself. I would definitely return.

*** They accept credit card !!!!…read more This is the boyfriend of the Yelp account owner but I had to write a review at how dope this place truly is. My girlfriend takes food very seriously so it's hard to find good spots and this place really impressed her. We came back two days in a row to try different plates and they all slapped. (Chile Rellenos, quesadillas, salsa wheel, tacos, ceviche). The drinks were amazing as well. (Pina Colada, margarita - they have happy hour 4pm- 6pm) All of the above would be enough in itself but the staff was really friendly and accommodating without doing too much. I.e They don't come across as fake. Anyways, if you are looking for a spot to try in Playa Del Carmen, eat here at least once and see what's up.

The wine was robust I ordered the T-bone steak and Pooh ordered the Fillet Mignon. Both of us asked for medium rare but both were more rare than medium. Still the steak melted in my mouth. Our server, Damian was great. He brought out a tray with the different cuts of steaks to show us what each looked like (see photo). He did the same for the desserts (see photo) I ordered the Lime Charlotte and Pooh chocolate mousse. I had no idea what a Charlotte was but it was amazing. It was like a key lime pie without the crust but layers of cake with chunks of lime curd throughout-sublime truly Pooh loved his mousse. The taste and texture was velvety and he enjoyed the extra crunch of the chocolate chips. A wonderful supper. No complaints!!!

We ordered 3 burgers. The burgers come with a bun 2x the size of the patty. My 9yr old kid was…read moreholding his burger and on the first bite the whole patty fell out the bottom of the bun and onto the ground. These things happen. I assumed we wouldn't get a replacement for free but I asked if the restaurant could sell us a replacement patty at a lower cost as we didn't need anything else but that. No bun, veggies, or fries were needed or requested. We asked to pay anything less than full price for a replacement but that was not possible. In USA we are used to a restaurant just fixing the issue. I don't assume that in Mexico. But I hoped for a little bit of compassion for the situation and letting us pay a reduced amount for a replacement meat patty a 9yr old dropped! I felt it was petty. I won't return.

The meat on this burger was overseasoned and had the dense and springy crumb that I've chided in previous reviews. The bread was decent, but nothing special.
