I didn't come to Mexico to eat at McDonalds. But like any bad tourist, I am perpetually curious…read moreabout the international version of any Mickey Ds. Typically, they're good and offer something unique / regional. This one on the other hand, was not good. In fact, it was terrible. First things first, I was appalled at how filthy the place was. I was under the impression that McDonalds did its best to appeal to the masses with cheap and convenient comfort food and also keep the joint sightly. The floors had this sticky grime to it like it hadn't been mopped / deep cleaned in awhile and the air was thick with this greasy musk. To make matters worse, the ventilation must've been out because it was uncomfortably hot. But no matter, my curious group of gringos were in need of some McFood, so we ordered enough to puzzle the turistas around us. Fish filets, quarter pounders, fries galore, cheeseburgers etc, a whole gamut of the menu essentially. We ordered drinks as well, but the ice machine wasn't working. Thank goodness the sodas were chilled. What really irked me was how unfriendly the service was. I am used to inept service in the fast food arena since I live in NYC, but this was as apathetic as it could be: counter folks barely acknowledged us and to no one's surprise, got our orders and totals incorrect. This place wasn't busy, but it did seem understaffed with a ghost crew working there. The sad part is, I've been to another McDonalds in town (https://www.yelp.com/biz/mcdonalds-playa-del-carmen-2). Although very mediocre, it still was light years ahead of this one. Lastly, we didn't find anything unique about the menu. Nothing regionally interesting to us, which was virtually the only reason we came to check it out.

Horrible Horrible experience. We ordered 4 different meals off the menu. Half the order came back…read morewrong but since we didn't speak Spanish, they weren't able to figure out what we were saying so we took the order back to our seat. There was no ice available for drinks. Half the drinks were out so you were only left with a couple options to choose from. They didn't have any straws. The ketchup dispenser was empty and there wasn't anyone available to help us unless you stood in the long line to order again. By the time we sat down to eat our food and fries were all cold. I orders the Big Mac meal and the meat on it didn't even resemble meat. The picture I posted shows the quality of the meat patty. WE WOULD NEVER GO BACK AGAIN. My husband ended up getting sick that night. Not sure if it was from McDonald's but I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with what he ate there.

My wife and I shared the chicken fajitas, which were excellent. My friend ordered the al pastor fajitas, and his wife had the pork chops--everyone agreed the food was delicious.

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food with excellent service and a great atmosphere, I highly recommend El Fogón. We would definitely come back!

The food was good, I mean typical McMuffin breakfast, by the service was soooo slow.. took forever to place the order and another 10 min to get it.. Another remark, the bathroom.. I get it's a luxury, but there was no ventilation in a super tiny room, there was only 1 stall and not only was it disgusting cause it was not cleaned, you could barely move.. barely enough room from the door to the actual toilet and when it's all humid and things stick every which direction, that was the most uncomfortable area to try to move in. Heck, the gal that sold the ice cream at the entrance had more room to move than the toilet area.. I don't know if this is corporate or franchised but I think a better upkeep of the establishment would be nice..

So we thought. Ordered 2 combos with burger, fry and a drink and another burger with a large fry. We were brought 4 burgers and 2 fries. My Spanish isn't that good so it could have been our fault. I questioned the order when brought out but did not stress it. Fries were just ok. Nothing special and kind of bland. The burgers were good but that bun was so big it masked the taste of the meat. When I ate the extra burger I took the bun off. Much better that way. They are new so hopefully things improve. Service was great and the entire place, including the restrooms, was super clean. I hope they make a few changes and do well.
