Fantastic food and good service!! You're basically eating in a jungle here with some beautiful big trees and excellent music. Don't skip the roasted veggies- I turned the leftovers into my lunch the next day. The guacamole is deliciously unique- served on a crunchy pork rind. The meatballs are tasty, like elevated sweetish meatball dish. We had Palomas- the first round was good but the second round was a bit too sweet, that's ok tho. We will be back! read more

This spot is super cute. Love the vibes. Outdoor seating jungle like. I've been here a couple times and it was delicious both times. The steak was huge and juice cooked perfectly. The Caribbean chicken had great flavor. Also tried the risotto with steak and it was cooked perfectly. The cocktails are made to perfection. The bartenders were very friendly. I'd recommend this spot over the other ones on 38th. read more

Tuvimos una buena experiencia en Trujillos, desde que entramos el personal fue amable. La música estaba muy fuerte para platicar, la selección no tan buena ya que no estábamos en un antro. Todo lo demás muy bien, desde las bebidas y la comida ni decir, todos lo platos tuvieron mucho sabor. Empezamos con el chicharrón con guacamole, probamos el pulpo asado muy bueno con la salsita de mesa de tamarindo, el risotto con camarón bien cremoso igual el bistec cocinado a perfección. read more

Our second dinner in Playa del Carmen, we already knew we'd be sitting outside and sweating profusely despite their outdoor fans. They also had a DJ playing extremely loud music. While I liked the choice of music, I felt like I had to scream in order for my friends to hear me. They offer menus in both Spanish and English, which was definitely convenient. We ordered a few drinks, some apps, entrees and dessert. My drinks were pretty good, but extremely watered down - barely tasted any alcohol. The grilled corn was delicious, definitely recommend it. The chicken dish I ordered was an embarrassment - the chicken was waaay too gummy. My friends, on the other hand, ordered some salmon dish and it was really good. The dessert hit the spot too. Overall, a hit and miss kind of place. But our male server seemed to have an issue with me. Every time I spoke, he pretty much ignored me but had no problem speaking at length to my male friends. Hence the 3-star rating. read more

We just got the Al pastor tacos! It was very good and was a large portion of meat -- maybe ask for extra onions and pineapple. The service was great especially because we sat down 10 minutes before closing! The ambiance was also very nice but again closing time so not super busy! read more

We went to Trujillos because it had been highly recommended to my family. The place is actually really cool with a large bar area in the center, low lights, and a disco ball! I ordered an Al Pastor flatbread to share and I was a bit disappointed by it. It came out cold and the flatbread isn't really like a flatbread consistency, at least not like ones I've had before. My brother ordered the pechugon and said the chicken lacked flavor. His order was supposed to come with asparagus but they ran out, so our server was kind enough to offer us an alternative (grilled squash with some chimichuri sauce, which was pretty good). My mother ordered the salmon and she said it was delicious, so it could've just been the meal I chose that wasn't that great. Overall, I may need to try something else to give it a better rating. read more

This is by far my favorite restaurant in PDC! The lush tropical garden atmosphere accompanied by the expertly cultivated lounge music and live DJ create the backdrop for an amazing night out with friends or a romantic evening with your partner. The food is out of this world delicious and the drinks are to die for. The team that make the magic happen at Trujillos are so friendly and make you feel like part of the family. 10/10!!! read more

I went to Trujillos during my visit to Playa del Carmen for my Bach trip. I loved the aesthetics here. You felt like you were in a jungle. It didn't take long for us to be seated, but it took awhile for our server to come take drink and food orders. Once we ordered drinks and food, it kind of took awhile to receive everything. The food was okay, but not worth the price in my opinion. I ordered a margarita and it was very strong to the point it was unbearable to drink. It wasn't my ideal margarita. Overall, we had a decent time here and the icing on the cake was a man coming around selling roses and my friend bought me some! That was the highlight of the night. Trujillos was a good vibe and the ambiance is nice. read more

Delicious with great ambiance. We got the ribeye-- must get! Octopus with roasted vegetables- delicious! All the varieties of roasted corn were great too. Skip the Caribbean chicken- came out last and super dry and crumbly, but it couldn't have just been our table. read more

What an experience! This place is a vibe, the service is awesome, and the food is unique and delish. We thoroughly enjoyed the tuna tostada, guacamole, rock shrimp, and ribeye flintstone. The tuna tostada was truly top notch! Must order. read more

We visit playa del Carmen once a year and this was our first time trying Trujilos, we will definitely be back! The food and drinks were great, especially the chicharron that's served with the fresh guacamole! It's in a great location near the downtown area. Most of the restaurant is completely outside. It feels like you're dining in the jungle. No need to worry about bugs, the staff creates a smoke substance and walks it around the restaurant which keeps the bugs away. Menus are in English and Spanish so ordering is easy. read more

If you are looking for great cocktails, food, and ambiance, look no further! The Guayabo was refreshing and citrusy without being too sweet. The Argentinian sausage appetizer was outstanding (it's a lot of food!) and the Caribbean chicken was also juicy and flavorful. Don't leave without trying the Panelote! read more

Highly recommendable place that is "a unique space with a magical atmosphere that will make your feel like you are in the depths of mother nature", according to the website. That's especially true, if you sit on the perimeter, lined with palm trees. My original review is missing from 2 yrs ago, but looking at the menu, we got four appetizers rather than entrees. I only recognized The Elote Dulce Chamuscado a la Leña, Embarrón de Mayonesa y Chilito de la Casa is as good as it is ununderstandable. We call it maize. We also got Palomitas De Coliflor. Coliflor Frita, Aderezo de Siracha, which, according to my botches attempts at Google Translate is either fried cauliflower with hot sauce or fried horse with a side of serious. read more

Cool spot, with good food and drinks, the waitress when I was there last was always quick with the next round. In the evening it also has a great DJ --definitely worth checking out. read more

Overall this is a great 5 star restaurant near the bottom of 38th, amidst a cluster of pretty good restaurants serving all different genres of food. As you approach the bottom of the calle you will certainly hear the ambiance as you get closer to the venue, standing out from the crowded street you'll know you found the right location. As soon as you approach you will know this is no ordinary restaurant. We sat at the table, but I was disappointed we didn't sit at the bar. It seemed like that's where all the fun was being had. Plus, we did have to wait on drinks a few times so I was getting jealous of the patrons who had a bartender at hand. All the food is light and fresh. The guacamole and chicharrones was one of my favorite meals, very fresh guacamole, and it was a combo I haven't had before. The short rib was also excellent, served tasty and hot. Of course I had to have the octopus, maybe one of the best on the playa. It had just the right tenderness and smoky flavor. I also liked that it was served with a healthy serving of fresh vegetables: carrots, potatoes, zucchini, and a side salad with lots of cabbage. Overall it makes a nice light and healthy dinner, good ambiance and music, and I like the decor. You don't leave feeling "stuffed" but you're not hungry either. Definitely a good spot to bring a date and have some fun read more

Came across Trujillos on the way to Quinta Avenida from our resort and saw how all the tables were occupied so we decided to make a reservation for dinner there the next day through their website. What we got: El Caribeno Camarones Peñasco Rib Eye Flintstone Pulpo a Las Brasas Brownie de Chocolate Abuelita The camarones penasco was a bit doughy but tasted great. The rib eye flinstone was soft and juicy, but needed a bit more salt. The pulpo a Las brasas was soft, but needed a bit more salt as well. The brownie de chocolate abuelita was perfect! The drinks were strong and the service was amazing! read more

Vibe is beautiful. The food is really good. I had the Rock shrimp & Caribbean chicken. Both delicious. However when my chicken came out I had to send it right back. It was EXTREMELY lukewarm. As if it was sitting for a while and the potatoes were pretty hard. Not much of ginger or garlic taste on chicken. It was still good and tender. Had a bbq grilled taste to it. I would come again but it wouldn't be my first pick. read more

Great time with great people! This place was dope!!! Third time in Mexico and I can say visiting this place is a must each time!!! It is in walking distance to everything that's happening in Playa. My family and I visited at night and the ambiance was everything! It's always about the ambiance with me. The experience will always outweigh the food alone but luckily this place excelled in both!!! I most certainly look forward to going back and would definitely recommend this establishment to others. read more

We came here for Valentine's Day and it is probably the best restaurant I have been to in Playa and I can't wait to go back. The food was incredible. We have the grilled octopus and tuna fillet. I thought the tuna was going to be seared but it was actually cooked perfectly as a steak. The appetizers were unique but okay. I want to go back for the stuffed squash and octopus again. Also. The drinks here are AMAZING! Playa has a really good cocktail scene. These cocktails were expertly mixed with decorative garnishes. I would come just for drinks and the ambience! Highly recommend read more

Hands down the best cocktails we had in Playa Del Carmen. We went there for drinks at the bar. Ambiance was nice, good to catchup with a few friends or on a date - not the kind of place where you get drunk on generic margaritas or pick up on randos. Music was a DJ - good and not too loud. Going back to the drinks: bartenders there are super passionate about their craft, and will happily share their passion with you. We could taste some of their cocktails and compare them side by side with the classic version or get to taste some of the base on its own. If you're looking for a place to sip great cocktails, do not hesitate to stop by this is legit! read more

Fantastic mixologist our mixo was Grace, tell her your flavor liking and presto done.. yummy. DJ plays chilled house music Ibiza style and food amazing.. they server food on a chard wood plank.. food is reasonably priced.. Ribeye taco and short ribs appetizer Bomb.. service is very attentive.. Covid regulations - temperatures check and hand sanitizers before entering.. Been here twice in one week so far during our stay and definitely coming back one more time to have an actual dinner instead of appetizers-before we head back to the states.. read more

Very pretty, but VERY overpriced for what you get. I had some tuna thing, which was tasty, but which I thought was an entree, yet it was barely a snack. My wife had a salmon dish, but still felt hungry immediately after finishing. They automatically added s healthy tip (which they're not supposed to do--illegal!) which we didn't feel like disputing. We simply won't ever go back. read more

Beautiful spot for food and drinks. Not that you can complain about decor in Playa del carmen because everywhere is so beautiful but this place is stunning! Candles and trees everywhere. Only had 1 drink here (gin and tonic) and for food we ordered the rock shrimp (very very tasty!!), salmon (the sweet potato mash that came with this is soooo goood), burger (I think the fried pepper rings were my favourite here) and the roasted vegetables. Everything was delicious! But was definitely expensive for what it was. It's more of a tapas style place than individual dishes for each person so I'd recommend coming here with a larger group and ordering more things. The portion size is actually normal though so even though there were 3 of us, the 4 dishes we got were more than enough! Overall, great place to bring friends and hang out! read more

Best place in playa del Carmen by far!! I'm a cocktail bartender and this place has the best cocktail program in the city by far, from shots of mezcal to espresso martinis this place does it all! And it's not just drinks, the food is TOP NOTCH. we ordered the rock shrimp tempura and we were blown away by the amazing flavor profile. We thought we forgot a credit card here and the staff were all super helpful even though it ended up being somewhere else. Cesar the front of house manager, Carlos our server, and Alex the bar manager were all amazingly helpful and made sure we had the best experience we possibly could. We came here our first night in town and have been back every night since. This is a MUST DO when in town!!! Drop by and say hi to these guys, they will take amazing care of you and make sure you have a good time read more

I SOOO wanted this place to be exceptional. Got let down quite a bit. Came with a group of eight for dinner with a reservation. We were seated promptly at a cool table away from the bar. Great vibe, great atmosphere. Service wasn't bad, not super attentive, but that's OK we can adapt. Our waiter mentioned when we ordered our entrées that things were served "family style". We didn't pay too much attention to that at the time. Apparently family style means that things will arrive at your table when they are finished, or when the kitchen feels like making them. We had one dish (Salmon; does not take too much to prepare.) that took over an hour to appear at the table, long after everyone else was finished. I actually believe that dish was forgotten entirely until we inquired about it. To be fair, we did not pay for that after a gentle complaint. If you are a twosome, or maybe foursome, I would give this place a shot. The food is very good, and the location and atmosphere are very nice. If you have a larger group, I really cannot recommend this to you. read more
