    This is our second time here from NYC, and we couldn't wait to get here. Their kitchen definitely knows how to grill a steak to your liking. The staff is amazing! Ambiance is great and feels like a steakhouse! The price is amazing compared to the big name Steak houses in NYC you can't go wrong with anything ordered here and don't be afraid of the neighborhood dogs, they are friendly and they don't beg, "La Gorda" and "Fatilla" great restaurant! probably my favorite all time! Buen provecho!

    Bendita Costilla is a beautiful hidden gem. It's gorgeous, with excellent food, extensive menu, and great service. Plus it's incredibly popular. We went early, but usually reservations needed. Must be a well deserved word of mouth place. And, yes, those in Centro...suck it up for a 50 pesos cab ride, you'll thank me. As you can see from the pics we shared a delicious, perfectly cooked grilled lemon chicken, a plate of grilled meats, which included a vacío, arrachera, and roast. I'm not usually fond of these cuts of meat, but they were so delicious, perfectly seasoned and tender. Dinner includes a side. We had the french fries,which were truly the best I've had in Playa. They weren't the ones restaurants pass off from Sam's. They seemed to be fresh from russet potatoes. Our (mine) other choice was the tossed salad. Yikes, a huge salad with lots of radiccio and sweet tomatoes. Because it was so amazing, we didn't want to leave, so for y'all we had the apple crepe, flameed with rum. Also notice how much we brought home! A fraction of the cost from that side of the highway, and so much better. Extensive menu too. And, our server, Ignatius,was amazing too. Fear not the "other side", and those who have discovered this side check it out.

    I came here for dinner the other other night and Pablo was my server. He was super nice and…read morefriendly. After looking at the menu I decided to get a chicken milanesa provolone style with mash potatoes. I also got fries with eggs on the side. (I saw so many tasty pictures on Instagram..it was hard to decide what style milanesa I wanted) The provolone style milanesa has mozzarella and melted provolone cheese, tomatoe sauce, and oregano. The milanesa was super tasty and crunchy. The combination of the fries, egg, and milanesa in one bite is amazing!!! You have to try it!!! The one person milanesa was a good size for me. I eat a lot so I was so excited when it came out! Plenty of food. If you have a small appetite you could probably share the one person milanesa. If you are okay with sharing your food I believe the one person plate for two people is enough. I ate half the milanesa and took half home and ate it a couple hours later. Very good!!! Such an amazing meal!!! In total I got a maracuya mojito, chicken provolone milanesa, side of fries and eggs for a very reasonable price. I cannot wait to come back!!!

    This restaurant has a pool side bar that's attached to Oceana Residences. Since we stayed there, we…read morewould stop by frequently for a delicious Maracuya Mezcalita. Once, out of curiosity, we ordered the veggie empanadas with the chimichuri sauce and they were sooooo good!! Perfectly fried, fresh and hot and many different fillings. They do have quite a few vegetarian items on the menu. But we didn't get a chance to try them all. The bartender would make any drink we ask for. We asked him to make something with maracuya (passion fruit) and he made this delicious and strong Maracuya Mezcalita. We really enjoyed hanging out at the bar by the pool here!

A nice spot with good food, teas, and snacks. We had a dulce de leche merengue dessert "sandwich" and a couple of empanadas. The empanadas were fried and served up hot. I especially liked the pepper (i forget the name of it.. rasa? rafa?) and cheese. The other dishes looked good and it's cafe home cooking style sandwiches, salads, serrano ham and pasta.

The owners are from Argentina and the menu is written in both Spanish and English. The restaurant serves Argentine wine and brunch/lunch and pastries. The specials board displayed outside the restaurant of daily offerings is what initially drew me in. We weren't very hungry but wanted to sample what they had so we opted to try two empanadas, hot green tea, and this dulce de leche filled meringue cookie. The empanadas were served iced and had a good amount of filling. Heavily fried, the meat one was pleasantly spicy and the cheese and pepper (very interesting pepper I can't recall the unusual name) was very good as well. The tea was brewed fresh and made iced to order. The "cookie" we had was light and although the filling was decadent, I don't believe it was over-the-top sweet. It was cool to see other desserts on the counter which we were unfamiliar with. It took restraint not to order more sweets. The English speaking diners in there claimed the food was delicious and I thought their meals all looked excellent. Service was friendly and efficient. I would return here again if in the area.
