    Found this place based on Yelp recommendations within four blocks of my Airbnb. Like pretty much everyone else said, it's delicious and extremely affordable. I got the Mexican breakfast and a fresh juice for around $6 plus tip. The starter dish was toasted bread with homemade jam. The humble little fruit plate blew my mind. I didn't even think I liked cantaloupe? Finally, I had the chilaquiles with chicken and a mix of red and green salsa. The staff was great and incredibly patient with me as I butchered their beautiful language

    Salmon bruschetta was fantastic.

    Everything was fantastic, get the Orange combo to start. A glass of fresh squeezed OJ, coffee, fruit plate and the most beautifully plated salmon bruschetta I've ever seen for 6 bucks.

    Chicken empaladas

    We ordered chicken empaladas, ravioli and fish & chips. Good things- ambience, one of the servers speaks English, good food presentation, fresh seafood, ravioli was nice and empaladas looked beautiful and crunchy from outside with juicy and fresh chicken (loved it). Not Very good - fish and chips was below standard. So bland with no flavor. I would still go to this place to try something else maybe.

    Ate here a couple of times, once for lunch and then returned another day for breakfast. Very trendy spot. They had menus in both English and Spanish and the staff spoke both languages. We first found this little spot for lunch because it was close to the apartment we were staying at, it's a short distance from the tourist area but worth the walk. The restaurant is small and trendy, also very clean. Their food was very fresh and healthy. For lunch I had their special for the day, which was fish and grilled vegetables and thoroughly enjoyed it. When I returned for breakfast a few days later I had the complete combo. Their orange juice is fresh squeezed and they have the best chorizo I've had in recent memory.

    Good vibes. The fruit was a little off to me, but we enjoy working here. They have really amazing veggie empanadas

    Empanada quemada

    Burnt empanadas. (See pics) Inattentive staff. And I ordered the salad with salmon... They brought it to me... No salmon. It took several minutes to get a staff's attention... Finally when it returned to me... *wish I had taken a photo, there were two bites of salmon ...that's all. TWO bite-sized pieces... For 135 pesos?? A small, mediocre ensalada with olive oil and vinegar brought to the table for me to dress??? No salt. No pepper--Ugh no!!! Wasn't worth $7. Nor half that price. I should have sent it back. Worst presentation I have ever experienced in my 12 years of coming to Playa Del Carmen and the massive number of restaurants I have frequented. In addition, no one ever circled back, offered chimichurri or aimed to care! Que lastíma. What a disgrace. ...And I am Argentine and speak Spanish, so no language barrier to use as an excuse. Nor were they very busy. Go to Papa Charly across the street or Mercado 30 for better tasting selections and service. Or anywhere, but here. So disappointed. First impressions matter.

    Agreed. Chilaquiles are the bomb! And I've had some pretty good ones before. The Limonada Maya was so refreshing. Definitely be back here.

    A very quaint spot near fifth Avenue. This was about a 10 min walk for us but very easy to find…read more We were greater immediately and sat. The establishment was busy but attention to guests was great. Ordered the waffle with side of sausage. The waffle was perfection. Very light and buttery. The whipped cream was not overly sweet and a perfect compliment. My partner had French toast with bacon. By the silence and how quickly it disappeared I'll say it was also good. The highlight to me was our server. I did not catch her name but her tattoos were beautiful! She was very attentive to us (and others around us). She switched seamlessly from Spanish to English, which was helpful for me. I had my translator out to help with my broken Spanish but it was not needed . Beautiful breakfast and the walk back afterward was rough since we were stuffed. It did help in digestion though We paired

    We went to brunch at Lara & Luca. Very cute place with easy parking in the front, a guide is there…read moreto help you park, which is nice! Walking in, they're very welcoming! The restaurant is clean and very modern. The ceiling is cute! They have egg cartons as their ceiling! I was surprised that I couldn't just got hot black coffee, so I ordered a latte, wasn't disappointed! They even designed a heart at the top! We shared an almond croissant and they gave out passionfruit yogurt with a crunchy topping - these two things were my favorite of the meal. We are even talking about going back tomorrow just to get these two things! We also shared the Luca sandwich - this was delicious!! The sandwich has ham, cream cheese, mushrooms, and truffle oil, and topped with an egg. So delicious! There was a salad on the side that had some type of vinaigrette on it. The only complaint was that the vinaigrette was soaked up in the bottom piece of bread which made those bites a little busy when all in one bite. If I ever get a chance to order this again, I'd ask for the dressing on the side. We also got the chicken and waffles. This is the only thing we were disappointed with, not disappointed enough to mark the rest of the experience down though. The chicken was pretty good, but some bites were really salty. The waffle was so dry, even with adding the syrup, it didn't help with the waffle much. Overall, we loved this place! So glad we got to eat here! And the service was wonderful throughout the whole meal!
