Holy moly one of the best dinners we had yet. Gustavo served us and was fantastic we had the shrimp cooked mini tostada with green sauce it was so fresh and perfect. Then we ordered the shrimp tacos crispy with cheese and they were insane. We also really liked the side salad and the passion fruit dressing on top. It was nice to be served a little salad that was tasty with tomatoes and red onion on it along with the two tacos. The coconut cream drink was insane. We ordered two. And the passion fruit drink was amazing too. We would eat here again and again and again. Low key, fun, delicious, good service. Right down the street from the Aloft hotel. read more

I stopped in for their ceviche. Delicious! I ordered it spicy and the server cautioned that it is "very spicy". It was perfect! Just the right heat. This is a quirky place with great seating and really good food! I definitely recommend. read more

The dish I ordered was good but the service left a lot to be desired. For starters it legit took like 30 minutes for my meal to come out while the guy who sat next to me, his dish was out within 10 minutes. I asked the waiter multiple times in Spanish and was told the kitchen was backed up. By the time my food came out at 10:45 pm, I was rushed to leave the restaurant at 11 pm because they were closing so I couldn't even sit and throughly enjoy my meal smh. I probably won't come back here again read more

Meh, food was very forgettable. Service was mediocre. I might be too old for this place, it was REALLY LOUD. read more

What a party! Lively music and crowd with staff who genuinely seems to enjoy it there. The best chips not only in Mexico, but that I've ever had. My partner and I had at least 3 buckets. Love the hot sauce options too! We got one of the huge bowl drinks to share and it was so fresh and delicious. The presentation with sparklers and pouring the tequila was so fun! I was peer pressured into taking a shot out of a little horn which was fun too :P read more

Amazing food, ridiculously good tuna sashimi for example, the camarones cucaracha are literally finger licking good, and the molcajetes are soo good you will be eating far past the point of being full. If you're in PDC stop by and try at least one of these items, I guarantee you will not be disappointed. And if you enjoy your cocktails and have a few friends, you cannot go wrong with the 2 liter, 4 liter, or even 8 liter shared drinks! They bring the bowl to your table with a small indoor firework, and then give your party shots from the horn, before finishing the making of the drink at your table, to the strength (ABV) you want. My one complaint is that the music can be quite loud. While you are here, glance around and notice how many locals are here, and how many people come here straight from their jobs still wearing their uniforms with the business names (i.e. Hilton). We had great service, and were pleasantly surprised by the stocked and cleaned restrooms. read more

I had such high expectations for this place. Couple blocks from the beach, most of the time great music coming from within, people seem to be enjoying themselves. Unfortunately I was let down. Should've checked Yelp before I came. I ordered three different seafood tacos with the house sauce (Chilekinky). Assuming that's the house sauce. Anyhow, mightve been the worst tacos I've had in Mexico. I also had a Coctel of mixed seafood and it was surprisingly very good. My friend ordered quesadillas and he was not impressed. As for drinks we ordered a lemonade (mostly ice) and some sort of coconut cocktail which came in a baby shell and well worth skipping over. The menu is overpriced in my opinion. Especially when considering the many better options in the area. Enough of the bashing and let me list the positives and reasoning I have not given less than 3* -The Coctel was good and makes me believe they may have other tasty seafood dishes. -Laid back beach shack vibe with good music is a plus especially near the beach. -If you're looking to drink they have a "Siempre" 2 for 1 deal on shots and have other drink deals at certain times of the day. read more

Decent fish and veggies plate here. They pushed their sauces hard on the menu and I felt the praise was unwarranted. This was a pretty basic fish and veggies plate. read more

Great food. Good vibe. Good selection of tacos. I walked by it dozens of times and finally tried it. I was not disappointed.

So happy we found this place..great vibe and everything we had was delicious Tilapia w/ Machine sauce, tacos,Shrimp Ceviche,Shrimp w/ Machine sauce all incredible..sometimes the food could take awhile but who cares when you have Coronas@ $30 pesos..2 for1 Don Julio shots @ $119 pesos..was in Playa for 5 wks ate here at least 5 times/ wk sometimes 2 times a day..all servers were incredible and friendly Will for sure to return read more

This place is great! Prices are fair and they have great drink deals during the week. I would say it is very important you ask how every dish is made because they don't have the traditional sea food tostadas and dishes. But all of them are amazing! Very tasty and fresh. Portions might seem small, but they're actually the average size for a legit traditional Mexican seafood restaurant. The service is great and everyone is always friendly and helpful. Sometimes, there is a wait time. But honestly, after you try a bite you already forgot about it. Ambiance is also really cool and Caribbean looking. Great music! In case you are a sports fan, they have TV's as well. This restaurant is definitely a MUST every time we come to Playa del Carmen. read more

So it was inevitable that during our trip we would have some mediocre food. It was raining and we were hungry so we ventured out down 5th Ave. we prefer authentic hole in the wall type places, so we stopped here. The food was okay, not horrible but very different. The Torta was smothered in some type of sauce that wasn't hot and tasted like spaghetti sauce..... not a traditional Torta. But the carnitas inside was well seasoned and tender. The tacos are small and we opted for chicken since all the other options were seafood. The drinks were decent. I had the B*tch and my husband had the Miami. The service was pretty slow especially considering it was empty when we arrived. The service was pretty good though. The waitress was attentive and apologetic about the delay. She did get our order wrong initially but we were patient. Overall, I don't regret trying this place. Would I come back probably not but I also don't regret stopping here. Being in another country and on vacation is about the experiences!! read more

I'm not sure if this place was incredible because it was my first meal in Mexico after a very long plane ride and I was hungry... but it was one of the best tacos I've ever had. I got the shrimp taco and it seemed to have some some asian flavors behind it. read more

So surprised at the wide range of reviews. Our airbnb was up the street and each time we passed it was packed so we decided to try after 2 weeks in Playa and only a couple of good meals the whole stay (including boring or downright bad tacos at a few places). Have to say that we only tried the tacos. Fish tacos - one w the garlic sauce and one w the other non-spicy sauce. They were both good, the non spicy sauce tacos were great. They are tiny, yes. We were there during 2 for 1 drinks so the total bill was one of the most reasonable meals we had our entire stay. We'd have gone back again but our stay is over. Service was fine. Music was way too loud - more like a nightclub than a restaurant making it hard for the server to hear us. read more

Went on a shopping tour and playa del Carmen was interesting very packed lots of shopping lots of places to choose from for food so we asked a few locals for the best food and they were not lying about this place! Food was very flavorful everyone in my group liked their food and they had the best guacamole I had while being in Mexico hands down. It was a rainy day when we went but it wasn't that bad to where we couldn't eat there & the location is like a tiki hut with benches small spot and it's cooked to order so be prepared to wait order some drinks an appetizer. I got the chicken quesadillas but I tried everyone food per usual! The chicken tacos spicy but I love hot food, the fish is tilapia, and the cheese & the chicken quesadilla were both great the cheese I forgot to ask what kind was used but it was the creamiest white cheese I've ever had. Will be back for more next time I'm around! read more

Ordered mango habanero aguachile. It was ok. More of a ceviche than aguachile. I wasn't a big fan. An order of 3 shrimp tacos al mojo de ajo, probably the worst shrimp tacos I've ever had. Completely flavorless. We waited forever for our waitress to get us some salsas to hide the bland flavors. Also ordered sopa de mariscos, so far that was my favorite. Heart warming and flavorful, a good balance of veggie/fish/liquid ratio. I would come back for the soup but for nothing else. Hope this helps read more

Upon arrival to Playa Del Carmen- we were very hungry and this is the first spot we saw, their stand seemed inviting with a funky feel. Unfortunately, the food was not very tasty. I ordered a shrimp taco that was fried in coconut oil and seasoned in garlic along with 2 tuna tacos that were fried to a crisp in grease. Very disappointing, we walked out with horrible grease taste in our mouth. It was just not healthy. It also took over an hour to get our food. Service staff was friendly and the reason I gave this place one star. And one star for the decor. If you want to check it out, I would suggest only for beer. read more

Disgusting food and horrible service. I'm not saying this lightly I have never given any restaurant the one star review I ordered fish tacos it took them an hour to make three fish tacos I have had fish tacos in Ensenada, so I know. These were pieces of slimy meat and some type of coconut oil with garlic and literally tasted like something from the toilet. Suffice it to say that even the chips tasted like cardboard I will say that they did have a great corona beer in a bottle I'm sure they can't screw that up. One of my 20-year-old daughters felt so disgusted that when we got back to the hotel she threw up in the trashcan do not recommend they must get their act together. read more

Excelent food! It was the best ceviche in town, and the new special tacos were amazing! Service was excellent! Definitely #1 seafood place in town! read more

Recommended by our concierge. Delicious and different than other places I've tried. The Chilekinky is spicy even for my more slightly tolerant palette. Drinks, and dinner were delicious. My partner got beef tacos, which were great as well, but would recommend the seafood options versus beef. read more

Very bad. Very very bad. They were out of the beer we ordered. The salsa was all cream based, both green and red. Mayonaisy. Yuk!! The chips were small and stale. The bathroom did not have a light, I had to use my phone light. The steak tacos were bland. The guacamole was not good either. It was over whipped avocado with a bunch of cucumber and a few tomato chunks. No seasoning, no onion. Please stay away read more

It was surprisingly difficult to find a fish taco in Playa Del Carmen. Finally found this place and it was awesome. Definitely a 20 somethings restaurant because there are LARGE fancy liquor drinks and house music playing the whole time. I got mescal in a coconut! It was refreshing! They serve their food in baskets! So it's that kind of place:) and they whole basket of chips with the guacamole order! The service is all really helpful. Two orders of fish tacos, guacamole, coconut drank, pacifico was all only about $30 including tip. And the fish tacos were delicious! They had local fish(cheaper and better for the environment) or tuna. Had a pretty large menu, but we knew what we wanted before we went in. read more

This place was the worst place I've ever eaten at. I didn't know why I even chose it as soon as I saw the food coming out of the kitchen. I was starving because I had no eaten all day and this was my first meal at 9 PM! I order 3 fish tacos because I was unsure of them. I should've listened to my instincts tell me to not go to this god awful establishment. If I could give negative starts I would do it in a heart beat. I took my first bite into the most undesirable taco ever. I couldn't even swallow it!! I smelt it first and should've stopped at that. I got an overbearing smell of smelly feet. I was optimistic and wanted to give it a chance but that's the last time I'll ever do that. I couldn't eat it at all otherwise I would throw up. The tacos smelled and tasted like the had been months old. They were covered in oil and now I can't even get that taste out of my mouth. I gagged a few times fearing I would throw up but thankfully I did not. Even the chips were bad. If you go to a restaurant where the chips aren't even good then that's not a good sign. I wouldn't even feed that food to my dog in fear of getting her sick. Now I understand why there was hardly no one there. Also don't understand how the waitress thinks the food is actually good when it's not even edible. My overall review: -10 stars. DONT EAT HERE read more
