Tropical Tacos
Taco restaurant
👍👍 Very cool spot with unique tacos. The “especial” is a mix of beef, shrimp, and more wrapped in crispy cheese placed across tortillas and topped with veggies. Cocktails are on point as well. Many of the places around Playa serve the same type of fries and they’re fine. Tropical Tacos serves excellent...

El Gran Taco
Taco restaurant
👍👍 Nowhere near Playa del Carmen’s tourist corridor, El Gran Taco is the sort of place that only those with a car and attuned culinary radar will discover, but for fans of Guisado there is no better place in town to tuck in amongst the locals.
Owned by a fourth generation restaurateur, her family reci...

👍👍 Tacos at 📍 @donsirloinmx
Rating: 🤩🤩 Must visit if your in the area
Thoughts 💭
The sirloin and cheese taco with flour tortilla (corn ones have a weird texture) was hands down one of the best tacos I have ever eaten. So juicy and 🤤 the Cochinita, chicken variations were also good but I would tr...

La Parrilla Playa del Carmen
Mexican restaurant
👍👍 We stayed at a resort about 20 minutes north of Playa Del Carmen. Used a cab service and asked the driver to take us to a local restaurant that served good food. This is the place he took us to, smack on la Quinta Avenida (5th Avenue) very popular touristic avenue full of shops and restaurants and s...

Fonda Argentina Playa de Carmen
Argentinian restaurant
👍 As an expat, I miss USDA Beef. I go here for excellent steaks. There are a lot of Prime Steak houses popping up in Riviera Maya at tourist prices. Argentina will equal the quality at Mexican prices.
