My husband couldn't tell me no. We grabbed a spot and were immediately seated. The menu screamed to me that I picked the perfect spot. A beer for everyone. But I used self control to try a local mexican beer, which was great. I also needed some food to soak up some alcohol. The fries were crispy, delicious, and saved me from being *too* hungover the next day. Such a great spot. Cool location with a welcoming atmosphere. If you're visiting, highly recommend.

The lovely lady that was working the bar whose name we both already forgot was the warmest, most enthusiastic and positive person you could ever meet! She smiled so much it almost made MY cheeks hurt! She sang along with every song that came on! We had the nachos con res the first visit, and a few of their IPA beers. My favorite was the Mosaic IPA. EXCELLENT beer! The nachos were fantastic, but the two condiments that came with them were REALLY hot!! Consider yourself warned! Also had a freshly made Don Julio Margarita! One of the days, the bar was closed because they were having mechanical issues with the refrigeration system. But the next day we went back and had beef tacos and some more IPA. Again, this lady just made the place vibrant and cheerful. On our final day, we went back and there was a guy working there. This guy never smiled. He was low energy and really should not be working in a position where he deals with the public. Because of his unfriendly demeanor we decided to just have one beer each and go on with our day. Since the order was so small, we decided to just pay cash. This guy tipped himself GENEROUSLY! Let's put it this way. The tacos and I think 5-6 beers cost $53US. He charged us $20US for two beers!! Either way, we had a fantastic vacation, and we will be back as soon as possible!!

The service is very friendly and the beer selection and food selection are very good for a gastropub. It is fairly priced for both draft and bottled craft beer.

Great service for our large group-attentive, timely, separate and correct checks, fun and friendly-pretty amazing really. The margarita was also pretty fantastic! My dinner (sausage and fries) was fine, but again it's not really my thing-everyone there enjoyed what they got, so it is good food. And at the end of the night they brought out shots of the house tequila and we got our party on. I can definitely see why it's so popular.

There are fans strategically located everywhere, and the vibe is very definitely beachy/post dive hangout. We shared a beet and chayote salad and lionfish pizza. The salad had light sweetness from the beets and the tart softness of the crumbled goat cheese was complemented by the crunch of the chayote. The pizza was loaded with chunks of lionfish, with thin ribbons of mild chilis and a scattering of capers to add contrast and pops of brininess. My only regret is that they're not close enough to pop by for lunch on a regular basis.

The service is quick, the prices are incredibly reasonable, and the food is consistently delicious. Before your meal even arrives, you're served a plate of fresh radishes, cucumber, and lime wedges, plus a selection of toppings including tomatoes, onions, and both a green and red salsa. Unfortunately this location didn't give us the cactus like the other locations did. The red salsa was my favourite, it paired perfectly with the tacos and had just the right amount of heat and flavour. The standout for me was the al pastor taco. The meat was incredibly flavourful with crispy edges, a smoky char, and the perfect balance of savoury spice and sweet pineapple. It was easily one of the best al pastor tacos I had in Playa del Carmen. I also tried the sirloin taco and the chicken breast plate, both of which were excellent. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and the quality was impressive, especially for the price. El Fogón absolutely lived up to the hype. If you're looking for authentic, delicious tacos and grilled meats that won't break the bank, this is a must visit. I loved it so much that I ended up eating at all three locations and every visit was just as good as the last.
