They now have a beautiful space on the west side of the the highway about half way from Akumal to Tulum. The restaurant is clean and open. They a a nice garden area courtyard as well. The staff is attentive and efficient. Virginia the hostess was absolutely amazing and friendly. Her family has owned the business for decades. Our waiter was Alfredo who was excellent. All the food was well prepared and presented nicely. Everything we had was delicious. It's definitely aimed a bit more for the North American palette but this does not mean it wasn't really good because it was. Cocktails were made with fresh fruit juices and were top notch. I highly recommend Oscar & Lalo to anyone who is staying in the area or passing by to or from Tulum.

(IM NO PET LOVER AND DONT LIKE EATING WITH ANIMALS NEAR MY FOOD! ) I ordered and my drinks and food came quickly. 2 HUGE dogs wandered in and started begging for food. A patron at another table decides to feed them. ***EYE ROLL*** Now the dogs are looking for everyone to feed them. Going table to table. I DO NOT PLAY WITH ANIMALS!!!! So I'm instantly irritated that I have to keep showing these dogs off while I'm trying to enjoy my meal. Loss of 2 stars for the dogs. The food was ok. Wouldn't probably return because the animals roam Free and I dont like that.

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!!

We walked up for brunch timeframe and were told it would be 10-15 minutes, they had plenty of seating to wait BUT it was really only 3-4 minutes which was perfect. They have an open air concept, and we sat in back which was like a little magical garden area with a creek running through it. It was so adorable, and so tropical. Their drink menu was tasty, we got a couple of their mezcal drinks which low key were probably the best in all of Playa. Unique, fresh, and delicious. The food was incredible. My husband got a shrimp dish, it came with some very unique and creamy potatoes and a sauce that was so flavorful. I got a classic Chilaquiles dish that had so much flavor, but all the ingredients tasted so fresh and amazing. And almost a whole avocado on top which was insane. Such a great experience. We weren't rushed, taken care of, fantastic food and drink. I can see why it's highly rated.

As you walk in from the street you can see and smell them making fresh chips on the right side. On the left, there's a stack of coconuts waiting to be chopped and served! Lunch was right off the beach! There's some table where you just find a seat to sit at and they'll come to you with menus. --Coconut Drinks (5/5) - So fresh, refreshing, and cold! So good I had 2 for myself! No straws, save the turtles! You can either pour into a cup or pick the whole coconut up and drink from it. If you want the coconut meat, just ask and they'll cut it open for you! Slices of coconut meat on a plate, topped with chamoya or tahin (not sure which one it was) and lime! --Ceviche Chamicos (4.5/5) - Everything is made per order. It was really fresh but the downside for me was that it was warm and the shrimp poop was still in the shrimp. The ceviche included shrimp, octopus, and fish. Had lots of great flavors, surprisingly a very big plate, but it was 300 pesos so that makes sense. Wish they served smaller portions. Service was slow, but overall it was a great experience and great place to try. Also, it's front row seats of the beautiful beach scene, so why not?!
