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.

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.

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.

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!

The service is quick, the prices are incredibly reasonable, and the food is consistently delicious. Before your meal even arrives, you're served a plate of fresh radishes, cucumber, and lime wedges, plus a selection of toppings including tomatoes, onions, and both a green and red salsa. Unfortunately this location didn't give us the cactus like the other locations did. The red salsa was my favourite, it paired perfectly with the tacos and had just the right amount of heat and flavour. The standout for me was the al pastor taco. The meat was incredibly flavourful with crispy edges, a smoky char, and the perfect balance of savoury spice and sweet pineapple. It was easily one of the best al pastor tacos I had in Playa del Carmen. I also tried the sirloin taco and the chicken breast plate, both of which were excellent. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and the quality was impressive, especially for the price. El Fogón absolutely lived up to the hype. If you're looking for authentic, delicious tacos and grilled meats that won't break the bank, this is a must visit. I loved it so much that I ended up eating at all three locations and every visit was just as good as the last.

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food with excellent service and a great atmosphere, I highly recommend El Fogón. We would definitely come back!

The space is warm and completely unpretentious--wood, simple tables, an open kitchen and a palapa-style roof. Nothing about it screams "fine dining," and that's part of the charm. The perfectly prepared food does all the work. We chose the tasting experience, and bite for bite it was outstanding. The fried mushrooms were perfect, the fish ceviche was awesome, and the beef tongue was cooked beautifully. And don't be afraid of the grasshoppers--seriously. Yummy. Even ingredients I normally don't gravitate toward, like black beans, were used so thoughtfully that I enjoyed them. The drink pairings were equally impressive--tequila, beer, wine and espresso--and each one genuinely complemented the course it accompanied. We were basically the only guests that evening, and our waiter turned that into a wonderfully personal experience. He patiently answered every one of our many "American questions" about the ingredients, preparation and pairings, never making us feel rushed or out of place. A sincere thank-you to him, the cooks--who my partner and I gave a standing ovation to--and the entire team for making the evening so memorable. My one tiny suggestion? Cloth napkins. With that many courses, sauces and textures, the paper ones felt a little out of step with the quality of the food. But when the napkin is your biggest criticism, they're doing something right. And then there's the value. For an experience of this quality, the price was remarkable. Our total was about $320 including tip for the full tasting experience and pairings for two. We have spent more than twice that on comparable special-occasion dinners at home, so Axiote felt not just exceptional, but genuinely budget-friendly for what you receive. Axiote is relaxed, confident, welcoming and absolutely worth leaving the resort for. Go hungry, ask questions, trust the kitchen--and yes, eat the grasshoppers.

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!

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.
