Wonderful! On our first day in Mexico we tried different tacos on the menu here. The service was fantastic, as everyone was sweet to us, quick + helpful when we needed some menu explanations! Will come back again

Quality of food and pricing is great. Each time I visited, there was a line to wait to order but ordering is quick so you will not have to wait long. There is limited seating outdoors (about 8 places) so expect to have to wait to be seated, or take your food elsewhere. We had a range of foods and each item was fantastic, especially for the price. We returned to eat here 3 times whilst we were in Playa del Carmen. I believe they are open 24 hours as well. I give this a 5 star because quality was great, delicious food, decent pricing, easy to locate, and we felt like returning (which we did).

Location changed! It's just opposite of the old place. The food is amazing, came back to this place after 1.5 years, it's still as amazing as it was, price to quality is great. You can see a lot of locals eating here, which says a lot. Highly recommended!
