Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Very friendly staff! Made great recommendations about typical Mexican dishes to try! We ate shrimp tacos and they were amazing, melting in your mouth, it was like an explosion of flavours in our mouths. So glad the waiter recommended this! We also had guacamole and enchilada, again very delicious! If you want Mexican food, definitely come here!!"
"First time coming to Mexico and going to be a bit biased because this is the first restaurant I ate at but seeing all the other reviews. This is the place to eat. It's so good, order the chicken burrito to go and had it later for dinner. Best decision I made here, so good, I'm back for my second time and got the handburger. I got to say and hate to say but they do a better Burger here than most places in the US. Highly recommend this place to everyone"
"Enjoyed dinner here tonight! Nice to sit outside and feel the breeze. Raul my server was fantastic and very helpful with recommendations and was very attentive. I enjoyed my plate of pork chilaquiles and drink of Jamaica! Cost was $219 pesos before tip so about $17 cad. Will definitely go back!"
"Great food with a lot of love. Fish tacos, the guacamole with homemade nachos, and the lemonades with fresh fruit was amazing. We tried passion fruit and strawberry/lemon and they were delicious. Great and friendly service. We warmly recommend this place."
"This is the best breakfast in Playa! Come here every day for a green juice and a cappuccino with fresh hot churros! Everything has been amazing- the mole, the enfrijoladas, tostadas, and of course, the juice. Super sweet staff. Can't say enough good things!"
"Really great food. We came for earlyish supper. By the time we left, it was packed. Aztec soup, pastor and shrimp tacos, ensaladas, and drinks were really great as were the prices. The young man was working his tail off serving everyone and did a fantastic job. We left our snorkel gear accidently and he put it aside for us. No missing items to our order. I see that was a common complaint but it didn't happen when we visited. Nice patio as well."
"One of my favorite places to eat in Playa. The Sopa de Mariscos has great flavor, and tender seafood. Looking forward to trying more of the menu."
"Good food, good service. Twice we have been there for breakfast. Not regret. Traditional with very yammy pancakes was delicious. Good price too. We will be back. I love Cappuccino here. Recommended."
