Catch of the day
Gerry V.

We ate here two times for breakfast, two times for lunch, & once for dinner and almost everything we tried was pretty good. The Benedict w/salmon, the bagel, with goat cheese & salmon were very tasty. We also enjoyed the guacamole, ceviche appetizers the only appetizer we not wild about was the Crema de Elote. The Lido Burger was very juicy & well seasoned & I loved the Octopus tacos. For dinner we shared the catch of the day fish & it was very tasty. Great place on the beach to have drinks & food.

GREAT VIBE AND MUSIC. BEST BEACH VIEW.

Highly recommend!! Great vibe and ambiance. I was here when they had a band. Good music and view of the sea. Great staff. Overall good experience.

This is another great restaurant based on its location on the beach. It's always amazing to be able to have your toes in the sand while you eat. We started out with drinks. I got a drink that I can't remember the name of but it's served in a fresh coconut. it was OK, but looked amazing. For starters, we got calamari which was average. I got the Lido shrimp, which were really good in my opinion. My daughter got the salmon and my wife got the chicken fajitas. We were all very satisfied with our meals. Of course you're going to pay a little more being on the beach but it's the experience that's costing you the money. It is well worth it. Service is on point. Recommended by me.

Kokomo

I can't speak on the food, I only had drinks. The cocktails were cute but I tasted no liquor. The view is nice, right on the beach. They have plenty of seating. The bar area has swings. The band playing was really good. Service could've been more timely, they come out to the beach chairs area. I wouldn't buy drinks here again.

Ceviche
Ivana S.

Get the shrimp wrapped bacon! It was really flavorful, who doesn't like bacon! The ceviche here was like more of a sour soup and not so great. It was a plus they brought chips and different salsas for free- most places do not provide that. The ambiance is great they have swings at the bar and it's on the beach. Note: if you want quick service this is not the spot for you. They are on beach time!!

Coconut kebab (which is not really kebab, it's just coconut shrimps)

I wish I could give more stars, cause the food was really spectacular and tasty. The view is also amazing, the restaurant is located right on the beach. BUT the service was just extremely horrible, our waitress Karen was extremely rude, bitter and disrespectful. Will not come back just because of the service.

Calamari, fish, potatoes, and chicken. Very good bar snack

Love the live band. Such a cute place walking up. Staff is friendly, great drinks, and we had light appetizers which were really good. Swings at the bar are really cute. Pics of the food attached

We wasted away some time playing cards on the beach with lattes and smoothie.

Food is solid. There are a ton of vegan and veggie options. Coffee was great. Lattes in Mexico can easily be coffee, sorry but there's a difference. Lido's lattes were jamming. I'm in Mexico so I want Mexican food and ordered the octopus tacos and although I feel terrible about eating such a smart animal, it was delicious and fresh!! This is a word to the wise for anyone who has a nut allergy and visits Mexico. They often put peanuts in some of their hotter salsas. So always ask. Although we were in Mexico, my kids ordered American food and they were all really happy. The worst part of the meal was my kids bickering over the foot space under the table. But they will fight about anything. I'm proud of myself for not running into the ocean. They can be maddening! But I digress. This spot is all about the view. We were visiting Playa during peak season of spring break. We basically got right in. We were sat immediately at the table, closest to the water. They give you lots of time to just sit here and chill. The service is slow, but it doesn't matter because you're literally sitting feet away from the ocean. Would definitely visit this spot again. And also has some cute backdrops for pictures.

Tuna tostada and tuna tartar

We were staying at an all-inclusive resort by Playa Del Carmen and the food was making me really sad... We decided to go away and found ourselves walking by the beach and for some reason decided to stop at the Lido restaurant. Everything was just amazing, the location on the beach, the cocktails, the food, the service.... I would have come back the next day if we were not leaving Mexico ! I highly recommend, it was my gastronomy highlight of my vacation

Fish tacos, ribeye  tacos, guac, Kokomo cocktail and coco loco

Coconut shrimp, and cubed tuna with mango are amazing. So are the homemade tortilla chips. Sit on the beach in a lounge chair and eat.

The first time it was just for some drinks and then we ate here on New Years Eve. Our bartender was Frank and our server was Esencia Vital. Both were friendly and helpful. We ordered 4 things and all of them were pretty good. We got the Tempura Oysters which were excellent and not greasy at all. The Tiradito Boticario was my favorite. Great texture and flavor without being overwhelmed with sauce. The Camarones Boticario were also quite good. My wife had the Ceviche Boticario and said it was on point. I drank mostly beer which was Corona and I had a glass of white wine. The wine list was limited but they really specialize in their drinks which looked fantastic. We would recommend this place to anyone.

We were very happy that is open now! I decided to start off with the "Mieles De Maria Sabina" A wonderful mix of 400 Conejos Mezcal, Ancho Reyes, cranberry juice and a "homemade punch". It was very refreshing, well balanced and came in a really cool glass! My second drink was the "Amarra Hombres Cascados". Gin, Aperol, grapefruit juice. It too hit the spot on a really hot day. Definitely a place we will hit when we need a good cocktail!

We stopped in here after a wonderful dinner next door at Lido. The location is undeniably…read morebeautiful, set right on the water, but unfortunately the decor and ambiance fall noticeably short in comparison. We had a group of 14, and despite the bar being mostly empty, the hostess would not allow us to split into two tables. Instead, she insisted we crowd around a single six top and move chairs ourselves, which left part of our group standing, leaning against walls, or waiting for space to sit. Service was slow from the start. It took about 20 minutes for the waitress to take our drink order and another 20 minutes before drinks began to arrive. Given the delay, lack of seating, and overall disorganization, we decided not to order any late night food. I ordered a margarita, and it was honestly one of the worst margaritas I've had. Very heavy on sweet and sour, clearly not made in house, with a weak pour. Prices felt steep for the quality being delivered. Oddly enough, the highlight of the visit was people watching. The vibe is... strange. While waiting in line for the bathroom, someone who frequents the bar mentioned it's known locally as a swingers spot. The crowd skewed heavily 60+, but hey, whatever works. If you're in the area, I'd strongly recommend heading next door to Lido for a far better experience in terms of atmosphere, service, and drinks.

We stumbled upon this place looking for a fun atmosphere and after-dinner drinks! This was perfect!…read moreI wish I knew the name of the band because this band was amazing!
