Have eaten here multiple times and It doesn't disappoint. The service is great, it's low key type of place with quality food and lots of choices. It's the type of place I would go to multiple times a week if I live around the block. Its located around a quiet corner, it you are looking for good tacos but more... More

Just returned from dinner: I had the tuna tostada appetizer, which may have been my favorite dish throughout my stay in playa del carmen, as well as the fantastic coconut shrimp entree with mango sauce and rice on grilled pineapple. My girlfriend enjoyed her meal as well; with two beers and two fresh fruit juices the total was less than... More

Although we have a condo directly across the street from this quaint dining spot we have never been enticed to eat there however, after hearing and reading over and over how good it is we stopped in on a slow Monday night. I must say, this will definately be on our list anytime we are back in Playa. The Sea... More

The food here is excellent. So good we went back two nights later. The steak and shrimp dinner I had was the best meal I have ever had in Playa Del Carmen. My wife had the coconut shrimp and it was excellent as well. Be sure and get their Margarita....they are the best. The prices for food and drink is... More

Down a quiet side street out of the main racket. A small place with wonderful food and lovely friendly service. Pretty good prices too and a blessed relief from the hassling of the annoying waiters from the main streets. Go here, you won't regret it. The only slight drawback is the location as it's a bit on the pavement in... More

Nice quiet little restaurant with very polite, sweet staff. Great prices too. Casual. We love the fish tacos here. Best around. Also liked the shrimp tacos. ( you get 3 tacos per order) flour or corn tortillas. We preferred the grilled fish as opposed to deep fried. Nice place to stop for lunch with a friend after a morning at... More

We went to this little restaurant on a side street (26th) just below 5th on Friday night. We had a great meal, we started with sharing the calamari and onion rings and an order of chicken tacos....just loved those tacos and also the salsa that came with it! Each of us tried something different, my husband had the chicken cordon... More

When we first walked up we almost walked away but we're learned that in Playa you don't judge the outside. Excellent fish tacos and a seafood linguinni that was very fresh and perfectly cooked. We will go back to this restaurant

Wow, my wife and I dined here 4 times over our two week stay in Playa. Our first lunch set the tone for the next three meals as well. A great lunch special of three fish tacos and two beers for next to nothing. Two dinners and another lunch continued the trend of delicious food at very reasonable prices, especially... More
