    Very friendly this is our 2nd year coming and as always was treated like family!! Food was amazing !! Will come back again and again!!

    Chicken wings
    Krystal M.

    Not a bad spot if you're looking for something right off the strip. Family was starving and decided to pop in. Service was good and food was ok. The cerviche was fresh, the chips were a bit stale. My son really liked his nachos. My husband got the seared ahi tuna salad it was not very fresh. But also wasn't expecting too much from a touristy spot.

    So cute inside.
    Tiffani H.

    What a cute little place in a great area that was recommended to us by a local who runs the silver jewelry store down the street. The service was quick and the food was delicious! I never order a burrito outside of home but I wanted to try something different and it was so so good. We also shared chicken nachos and ate every last piece of cheese and onions left on the plate. Tacos and fajitas were spot on as well. It's too bad we are leaving tomorrow or we would go back for more!

    Tea (coffee or tea is included in the breakfast combo)
    Molly M.

    Good breakfast combos with complimentary coffee/tea. I had the ham sandwich & my partner had the egg special. Both were very good. Great service, interesting people watching on 5th Av.

    Arrachera chilaques (130 pesos)
    Tuli S.

    A okay. We stopped in for chilaques and they were delicious but missing the regular spicy sauce they tend to come with. The order with arrachera came with a drink (juice or coffee) at 130 pesos each. It's 5th so we weren't too surprised that they were double the price off the main strip. It's roughly 60 pesos per plate if you venture away from fifth avenue. Overall, it was good. The coffee was horrible. They didn't have milk and only had powder creamer available. Only place I've experienced this.

    Strawberry agua
    Katie P.

    I had the best dish Of my trip here . The shrimp de ajo was so delicious. The most flavorful guacamole I've had. I also got a yummy strawberry water. They had some live music on a Saturday night but it wasn't overbearing! Just a nice mood

    Bbq wings
    Ashley C.

    The chicken nachos were soooooooo good The wings were yummy too! The bbq wings reminded me of ribs. They fell off the bone and the buffalo was really good too! Service was good, the waiter was really nice!

    A very welcoming, cute place on 5th Avenue. They feature many daily specials, including one which we had: Hamburger, fries, 2 beers for $160 pesos. The burger was huge and delicious as were the fries. Our server was very pleasant and we were so happy until we received the bill, and I realized that instead of grabbing a $200 peso I had $20 pesos! As it was our second day, and facing exhaustion (and stupidly) we quickly wrote our situation, translated it through google translate and prayed we weren't going to jail. Initially our server chuckled and brought it to the owner who could not have been kinder. We returned today, and they were so gracious, not even wanting to accept a tip. That type of kindness is rare, and I believe goes with karma. Having just moved here they're going to get sick of us because I'm addition to being kind, the restaurant was charming, food delicious and priced right. Don't miss this spot while in PDC , you'll be pleased!

    Fish tacos with tamarindo sauce and green salsa
    Sbeidy C.

    We were walking close to our rental apartment looking for tacos. This was the closest spot to us and we gave it a try! The waiter recommended the fish tacos, and let me tell you, THEY ARE THE MOST DELICIOUS TACOS IVE EVER HAD. Just perfect with the tamarindo salsa on top. PERFECT. Worth the stop!

    Mushroom Quesadillas
    Daryl S.

    Came in just before closing and had an excellent dinner. I ordered Mushroom Quesadillas y Guacamole - it was spectacular. Friendly staff!

    Fish tacos
    Eva M.

    We are staying in Coco Beach and came across this restaurant just a few days ago. We have already returned 3 times as we fell in love with their food. My personal favorite are their arrachera tacos or quesadillas as they use gouda cheese.

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!!

Wish I got the tasting menu but I opted for 3 of the specialties instead and they were delicious... Tasting menu is best value tho! I got the raw trout sashimi thing and it was by far the best plate of the meal (first dish/appetizer) , then got the shrimp flautas (good not amazing) then I got the trout loin for the entree (good not amazing) Skinny marg was perfect and so was the waitress! Would recommend and go back but like I said I would for sure do with the 6 or 8 course tasting menu!

    Okay, where do I start…read more I made a reservation about a month before our trip, they were already pretty booked so I made a 4:45pm. I somehow missed that the coursed meal doesn't start until 6...and we didn't realize until same day. They couldn't rebook us until 9PM but told us to swing by early to see if they could get us in AND THEY DID. It was a Christmas miracle. And I'm glad they did because the whole experience was about 2.5 hours from start to finish. The place isn't very big, but is beautiful inside. They have an awesome bar and and open kitchen so you can see everything. It's a really neat place. We were seated pretty quick once they got the table cleaned, and then were greeted by our waitress. When we told her we were there for the 8 course meal, they switched waiters on us, and then the upselling started. Right off the bat they tried to talk us into a cocktail...when we were doing a pairing with our meal. It took them a little time to get the meal going, and then between courses was a little hit or miss. Sometimes it was free flowing and sometimes it took 10-15 minutes to get our next dish. The food. We were a little nervous we would leave still a little hungry but I assure you, you will not. For ~$100USD each, you get so much food, and a drink with every course. It was fantastic and so worth it. Here were the courses and pairings (that I can remember lol): 1. We started with the dips - a bean dip with cheese sauce and guacamole with crickets. Very classic, very well done. The crickets added a nice, nutty flavor. I was a huge fan of the beans with their blue corn tostadas, so much flavor. They also had a third dip that was pumpkin seed based, it was good but not as memorable. Their hot sauces came out with this course. It was paired with a house mezcal (with salts, cucumber, and orange) that was incredible and smooth. 2. Shrimp ceviche which was super refreshing and flavorful. They paired this with sparkling wine. 3. Sea bass with a cream sauce and grapefruit. I'm not a huge fishy flavor person - my first bite had all three compnents and I thought it was delicious. My husband just had fish as his first bite and thought it a little fishy, but once we added everything else he agreed it was great. Three small pieces, so it was a nice course. Paired with a sauv blanc. 4. Roasted tomatoes in a mole sauce. A nice veggie course. I thought they were cooked well, nothing super fancy. Paired with a Chardonnay. 5. Cooked shrimp with potatoes. My husband called this a "filler" course - there wasn't much to it. The sauce had some greens in it but it was just something light and easy to serve. Can't remember the pairing here. 6. THE CARROTS. MY FAV THING. OMG. Literally so fresh, the perfect texture, and the sauces. I could have eated a whole bowl with this one. Paired it with a red blend. 7. Cow tongue. I forgot a photo. I was starting to get drunk, I'm sorry. Paired with a red wine. This was tender, the sauce was delicious. If you're not used to beef tongue, please don't let it scare you. It was amazing. 8. Dessert. Also amazing. I think it was paired with a sweet red but....a little drunk here...we got a cheesecake which was more on the savory side, super unique, and so delicious. I was a huge fan. We also got a passion fruit custard and I'm a SUCKER for passion fruit. This was phenomenal. The food was INCREDIBLE. And such an amazing experience. And now the loss of a star. I hit on the service a little, but there was also some upselling which we don't love, especially at what is supposed to be michelin recognized. We often try Michelin recognized when we travel and the upselling was unexpected, I undertsand the culture down here, but still. ALSO we LOVED the house mezcal so much we asked for another shot ($280 pesos/shot). When we got the bill, the waiter upcharged to one of the most expensive mezcals on their menu ($520 pesos/shot) and refused to change it. We spent $60 on two shots after paying for our 8-course meal. It honestly was SUCH a dissapointing end to our meal and felt so icky. Be very careful with the service here.

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.

It helped that it was pouring rain and most of the restaurant was under cover, unlike a lot of spots, so it was perfect. We were seated quickly and helped shortly after. Service was...interesting. Felt like we had the hardest experience with communication here, which is fine, as Americans that is our fault. Things like they have a porn star martini ( my fav) as a mocktail so I asked if it was possible to add a shot of vodka. They initially recommended the espresso martini which I did not want so I was just opting for water and he pushed the original option on me then charged be $20 for it, which was insane. They also pushed sales hard here, it felt a little off...like we just wanted to enjoy a meal and at the end we're hounded to try their mezcals. BUT food came quick and effeciently so no major complaints there, just be aware. As for the food, it was incredible. Again with the communication, we pointed and asked for the beet carpaccio....they brought out beef carpaccio WHICH thankfully we both eat meat because honestly, it was freaking incredible. We didn't even say anything about the mix up because it was a highlight. They brought it out under a glass smoker, it had a cream sauce, and rosemary, lime, cheese, it was just perfect. We also had the corn which was super unique, the tuna appetizer which had SO MUCH FLAVOR, and the fundito which was on par with everywhere else in the area. It ended up being more food than we planned but it was incredible in flavor, whoever the cook is does a great job of marrying flavors because it was an incredible meal. Be ready for the communication gap, but know you won't eat anything bad here.

We also tried the charred octopus, and this one was a bit of a miss for us. It leaned more on the soft side and felt slightly overcooked. We were hoping for more of that tender-with-a-slight-char texture contrast. You can never go wrong with French fries crispy, well-seasoned, and perfect for the table.
