“ April 2021: affordable and clean Mexican home cooking. The server was nice and answered all my questions. I ask a lot of questions with my broken Spanish but she was patient. The food was tasty and the place was clean. I went to look at the grill area myself. If you are looking for Mexican home cooking at adorable not so 5th avenue prices, you have found the right place. I also tried cantaloupe fresh juice and it was made to order. ”
“ This place is honestly amazing. The quality of the food is so good & the agua de pina is the best in playa. Very reasonable prices too. I’ve never spent more than 20 ”
“ This place is a hidden gem. Nothing fancy about it but the food is great, it’s relatively cheap for its location and it’s open 24/7. We tried about 5 menu items and enjoyed them all including the empanadas, tacos, tortas, panuchos and salbutes. The pineapple and lemonade agua frescas were also great. I stick to a gluten free “diet” and had no problem here. They do not speak a lot of English but were very kind and understanding with my broken Spanish. ”
“ Delicious, no frills Mexican food close to many hotels. Their chilaquiles were the perfect way to start the day. Expect to order in Spanish. ”
“ The manager of our apartment recommended this place, but we came a little scared because of the Google reviews. Still, this was the best place we ate during our week long stay in Playa Del Carmen. The vegetable soup and the two yucatan specialties are very delicious. We wholeheartedly recommend the place, as the staff is also nice. ”
“ The mole is out of this world, a must-try! Also, extremely good value - I spent about 150 pesos for the enchiladas with mole (which come with mashed beans and rice ), a home-made lemonade which is just rightly sweetened and fresh (and can be ordered sparkling or non-sparkling) and a fried banana dessert! ”
“ Amazingly delicious and fresh, stopped by after a dinner for dessert and could not have been more pleased. Will certainly be returning for lunch Flan is simply put out of this world, arroz con Leche is authentic and light Super lovely and low key vibes, potentially open 24 hrs (?) ”
“ Very nice place with tasty food and reasonable prices. Highly recommended!!! A large assortment allows to make proper choice for everybody!!! Nice design and atmosphere will get you positive mood))) Come and check it out!!! 24hours available! Big portions for small money - Excellent match!!! ”
