I've tried many taquerias around here and these happen to be one of my favorite. The meat was so tender, juicy, and flavorful. I loved the tortillas too. It wasn't too thick and it had the right texture. The salsas were perfection. They had little spicy all the way to habanero spicy. Each taco was between $19-$25 pesos or about $1-2 usd each. Very affordable and more authentic compared to the tacos spots I went to at 5th avenue. This place is packed but we were seated right away. The workers are nice and friendly. Our favorites were the suadero tacos.. soooo good and tender. I could eat them all day.

Taco heaven!! The customer services is great and the 30 tacos my family inhaled were better. The tacos were served piping hot with mounds of bistek and your choice of 4 salsas.

Escape the tourist traps and eat here. I ate a lot of tacos during my 11 day Riviera Maya roadtrip and these are definitely in the top! Unfortunately my friend and I arrived late in the evening when they were close to closing, so they only had the Suadero and Asada left out of the 13 types that they have; however, the Suadero was so delicious! Super tender and soft pulled pork, with a generous topping of onions and cilantro on spicy salsa. The best part, each taco was only 15 pesos! Can't wait to come back and try all the tacos I couldn't get to.

This the best Mexican Food I've had in my life. I'm from LA so I'm no novice to the cuisine. It's also not a real tourist location either. Our waiter didn't really speak English but the menu is so straight forward that it's relatively easy to communicate if you can read. 10/10 would recommend Stay away from the facade of the resorts Get some authentic food in you!

My tour guide from Alltournative told me about this place and vote it as his best street food place. So I came to check it out and feel so happy I did! It's truly a good street food place serving only taco with several options. I got beef tongue (lengua) taco, beef cheeks (cachete) taco, chorizo taco and beef flank mix with chorizo (campechano) taco. The cachete is super tender and delicious! Lengua taco has big piece instead of small chunky pieces as I used to have. I like the lengua but it could be fried a bit more. Chorizo in here is the best among all places I have been to. Each taco only cost 15 peso and each drink is 17 peso. Really good deal for a quick meal. However, they are not really good with English so it's better to order in Spanish. Just listen to Pitbull, uno dos tres... jk. They also dont take USD and we were 14 peso under, so we have to run across the street to buy a drink for peso exchange. If I could work remotely, I would stay here and come to this place every day.

If you're thinking of going to eat on 5th Ave. do yourself a favour and just walk the 10 minutes up to 45th to visit Ñeros for some authentic food instead. This place was recommended to us by a tour guide from Alltournative the other day and we finally decided to give it a try. They have around 8 or 9 different tacos to choose from and all of them are just 15 pesos! I can attest that nearly all of them were some of the best tacos we've had in Playa del Carmen. Favourites included the chorizo, lengua (beef tongue), cachete (beef cheek) and campechano (mixed pork and steak). Its a pretty casual place and has a 'street food' like atmosphere, so when you arrive just grab yourself a table and a server will be right with you to bring some fresh cucumber and radish and sauteed onions. Each table is set with an array of green and red salsas, but be careful because they aren't messing around with the heat. Servers were incredibly friendly, fast and helpful. Our entire meal took probably 15 minutes from sitting down to paying. One thing to keep in mind is that they only take pesos, so make sure you have enough, or be prepared to run to the nearby Oxxo to get change. For less than 10 USD we were able to stuff ourselves with more tacos than we could finish along with refeshments, incredible value for your money. I'd highly recommend stopping by at least once for anyone visiting downtown Playa del Carmen, we'll probably be back before our trip ends

Mas tacos!

YUM! Definitely my definition of authentic tacos in Mexico! They have all of the odd meats including but limited to lengua, cabeza, suadero, tripas, etc and they were all done well! A little bit off of the super touristy area but well worth the adventure. Each taco was $12-$15 pesos which is $0.66-$0.83 USD. They don't have any bottled water for sale but they do have bottled sodas and juices. Service is super quick and they have an assortment of salsas and veggies to accompany. Probably one of my favorite meals while here!

The taco de campechana puffff the best. Very good tacos de Pasto, just like they are suppose to be . The tacos of head ... the bistec (which are not like the typical tacos de carne asada) those were ok is not that way that I like he meat, everyone have different criteria. very economical . The dollar was 15 pesos. is basically one dollar for taco and the soda and everything !!!!! Very good service . Recommended. El taco de campechana puffff el mejor, los del pastor muy buenos justo en su punto. Los de cabeza ...los de bistec (qué no son como los típicos tacos de carne asada) esos estaban ok no es mi gusto la carne de esa manera, so cada quien su criterio. muy económico . El dólar a 15 so básicamente ahorita está a Dólar el taco y la soda y todo!!!!! MUy buen servicio . Recomendado.

Taquería El Ñero in Cozumel is the best taco place in Cozumel. They have a variety of tacos and will not disappoint you. They have 4 different sauces. I love 2 of the 4 - green and orangey colored ones. During our stay we literally had dinner here every night. Have to stop by here if you're in the area!

Great food! Here for a spring break trip. Saw this wasn't too far from our hotel and off the beaten…read morepath. Reviews are right. This place is great. My husband got sirloin tacos off the rotisserie. I got a pollo plate. So good! We also added on guac, chips and a potato taco. Everything was great. Will come again. Sorry forgot to take a pic before we dug in.

We loved El Fogón so much we came back twice during our trip and that says everything. For a spot…read morethat's Michelin Guide-recognized, it still feels authentic, unpretentious, and very local. 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!!
