Last night we had dinner at Po Thai - Restaurante on 10th and 14. We really enjoyed it and would…read moredefinitely go back! We had: -Veggie Summer Rolls-very fresh and crunchy and the two sauces they came with were both very good. -Beef Green Curry-really enjoyed the curry flavor and veggies. The beef was a bit tough, kind of common here... -Chicken Pineapple Fried Rice-my favorite! Super tasty and good chicken. -Drinks-my margarita was one of the best I've ever had! Hubby also liked his Mai Tai. -Spiciness-we asked for "very spicy" which is their step below "Thai spicy." It delivered big time! Also the homemade chili sauce (sambol) they bring to the table was no joke, proceed with caution! Service was very good and our server spoke flawless English. Overall, I would highly recommend!

They were open in a different location before, closed for a while, and opened again at 15th and 8, across from the Palacio Municipal. The restaurant is nice, comfortable and covered in pin up girl art. Service was friendly and our server spoke English well. The menu is mostly different Asian dishes-Thai, Vietnamese, Indian-with a couple of European options thrown in. My group all ordered appetizers to share and Asian entrees (Thai curry, curry noodles, Pad Thai), and everyone was happy. My favorite appetizer was the dumplings, but the samosas and satay were also good. My entree was red curry noodles with chicken. The regular size was a lot of food, with very tasty sauce and well cooked chicken and veggies. The grilled pineapple was a nice addition. The spice level was hot enough for me, but the addition of their house habanero sauce kicked it up nicely. The premium margaritas were also good. I would definitely go again and will enjoy the leftovers.

After several of the restaurants were packed on a busy Friday night, we found Babes! As soon as we…read morewere seated, then others packed the place. The menu is focused on their specialty, HOMEMADE noodles! So delicious. We ordered 4 different dishes, all were scrumptious. The friendly server made great recommendations. The pad thai was a bit more savory but tasty, it was my favorite.  The garlic peanut noodles had a thick sauce and was good. The other favorite was the green curry noodles, light and flavorful! The best place to enjoy a yummy meal. We ate outdoors with a view of the Christmas decorations in the city Square and inside there was a vibrant d.j. with muted dance music, excellent vibes! Excellent service, food and ambiance.

My first dinner at Hyatt Vivid was at this restaurant and it left me impressed!

It is best if you make a reservation ahead of time. Their selection of cocktails included some exclusive to this restaurant and sounded delicious and a nice combination of Asian flavors with local fruits. I went with the Kioto that was a great blend of aged rum, passion fruit puree, tamarind water, iced tea and simple syrup. My mom loved her fish dinner. I very much enjoyed my tiraditos and sashimi. We wrapped up our dinner with ginger ice cream. Service was excellent and food arrived promptly. I wish I've known ahead which days they were closed as they rotate restaurants. We tried going our last night for other dishes and they were closed for the night.

We did not need reservations and were seated quickly upstairs. They were not strict about the dress code, which was appreciated. I tried several appetizers including the tuna tartare, Thai lettuce tacos, and spring rolls. Everything was well done and small portions . I was also very pleased that they had lychee martinis, which were a great touch.

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.

My favorite is the freshly made fried rice, but the entire meal is delicious. The chefs are so much fun and you can tell they enjoy their craft. This is also great the sit down service. The sushi is delicious - I particularly love the dragon roll. I also love the chicken fried rice entree (shocker!). The restaurant also has really good air conditioning since they need to clear the air from the hibachi shows - perfect to sit in after a long day at the beach.

Every bite was better than the last and the portions were generous. The iced Irish coffees were the icing on the cake; I'd never had an iced Irish coffee but I think I'm spoiled now. However, what really sets Mora Mora apart is the vibe, the atmosphere. We were only planning on having dinner then heading out to the club, but we enjoyed it all so much we ordered another coffee and just chilled for an hour more. The restaurant is set in the middle courtyard of an old Spanish type villa, but there is thought provoking graffiti everywhere, and even the menu has political poetry and statements throughout. It all certainly made for some good conversation starters; in fact the menu was so well done with literature, I asked if I could take one home and was enthusiastically told yes. Over our two-ish hours there, two different live bands played a few songs and a female doo-wop group beautifully harmonized their hearts out to lively applause. After the bands left the stage, they played a Spotify station of ChillStep music that I eventually had to ask them for, as each song was so perfect for a laid back meal and conversation. At no point was the music ever overpowering but it certainly held the attention. Mora Mora is a fantastic place to go with friends or a laid back dinner date. It takes a few minutes to find and you have to make a reservation, as it has a very 1920's speakeasy vibe. I wouldn't be surprised if the younger crowd held political meetings there. I don't speak much Spanish, but the entire experience was so outstanding, I had to use Google translate to let the Mami at the door know just how pleased we were with the entire evening spent there. 10/10 will go back.

If you're staying at the Secrets The Vine, check them out early in your stay because you may need to eat there for a second or third time. The resort does not take dinner reservations so plan accordingly as there may be a wait after 8p.

The ambiance at the restaurant is absolutely amazing (like all of their other restaurants) but the food just tasted a little odd to me. We ordered multiple sushis thinking they would be amazing since it was one of the top things on the menu, but we don't even finish one. My husband would literally eat anything and even he was not having it. The staff as always was amazing, but that is just everywhere in the resort. They also have a couple rooms where they do hibachi grill but that requires a reservation. Highly recommend making a reservation the day you arrive since they are booked multiple days in advance. Overall, I wouldn't spend much time here and recommend visiting the Mexican restaurant or the other two restaurants by the beach.
