These tacos are incredibly fairly priced, and luckily so because I recommend trying as many meats as your stomach can handle, ranging around $20-$30 pesos or about $1-2 USD. I tried the tripa, al pastor, and one other beef one and I loved all three, but my favorite was the tripa. It was so flavorful and crispy! I wish I ordered two or three of those, but it was good to try a variety. Just a heads up, the salsa was SUPER spicy and if you're a tourist who doesn't speak Spanish, they've got you covered with some English-speaking staff. There's no air conditioning, so eating spicy food made it feel even hotter, so I would suggest bringing a hand-held fan and asking for a bottle of cold water or Coke!

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!!
