I ordered a quarter piece of chicken and it still came with all the fixings (rice, tortillas, cabbage, etc). He gave me a piece of dark meat which I'm not a fan of but it was still good. Wasn't a big fan of the rice, expected a little more flavor and different texture. Nothing you can't overlook for the price. I would definitely recommend and would've returned for a whole chicken order. It's a no frills situation. You order, get a receipt that you then give the next person preparing the orders.

The smells and the crowd led us to go and check out El Pechugon, a local rotisserie chicken chain. We got the Individual meal which came with either chicken breast or leg and thigh, rice, potatoes, chiles torreados, tortillas, and a drink for only 109 pesos/$5.37 Cheap, tasty, and very filling! We had lots of tortillas left and we didn't want them to go to waste, so we gave them to the family dining next to us. Try them out if you're vacationing in Playa Del Carmen! ALOHA!!!

What we got: Pechugon Medio The order came with 1/2 a chicken, rice, salsa & tortillas. You guys, the chicken's seasoning was so good and the chicken itself was juicy! We saw people combining everything into a taco and when we did that, I can now say I like chicken tacos! I was weary the chicken would be dry, but I was completely wrong. Give this place a try!!

Kitchen Table just reopened in Tulum, and it instantly reminded me why it's such a standout. The…read morestaff was amazing--genuinely friendly, incredibly attentive, and clearly passionate about what they're serving. You can tell they really know the food and love talking about it. One of the best parts of eating here is the feeling that you're right in the kitchen. The open-fire setup, the smells, the sound of everything cooking--it all makes the experience feel personal and relaxed, almost like you're hanging out with friends who just happen to be phenomenal chefs. I tried the tetelas and the short rib, and both were fantastic. The tetelas had that comforting, handmade feel with rich, local flavors. The short rib was ridiculously tender, full of smoky depth, and easily one of the highlights of the night. Kitchen Table's reopening feels like a win for Tulum. Great food, thoughtful staff, and an atmosphere that pulls you straight into the heart of local cooking--I'd go back in a heartbeat.

They were very patient and with lots of pointing at the pictures of their food and using our limited Spanish, we managed to order. The menu revolves around fried chicken and is a Cozumel take on the American KFC chain. We ordered fried chicken a couple ways; as fingers and as a sandwich and also tried their wings. The cooks hand breaded each piece and deep fried it after we ordered. The fried chicken was lightly breaded, crisp and had very nice flavor. Everyone was happy with their fried chicken. The wings were on the small side and were OK, but not the star of the meal. We enjoyed the local ambiance, the friendliness of the cooks and the food. Prices were extremely reasonable. if you're looking for something a little different but don't want to hit one of the Americanized chains, this is a fun alternative where you are likely to be the only English speaking customers.

One side is chicken meals and other side is tacos/quesadillas/tortas. You pay on the side with all the chicken menus. My cashier spoke English. They take Visa Credit Card. The chicken meals come in whole, half, and quarter. It comes with rice, beans, corn tortillas, and sauces. There are different seasonings for the chicken. I just asked which one is the best and got that one. It was delicious! We also ordered tacos and quesadillas. They were not bad, but not the best. You can eat across the street for tacos.
