    Pastor Tacos
    Sarah H.

    Everything I've had here has been delicious and the service is pretty fast. I love their pineapple salsa - a teeny bit of spice. So good!

    Jocelyn R.

    The BEST tacos in Playa del Carmen. I cannot emphasize how addicting and mouthwatering the tacos are. Brenda did an amazing job, absolutely amazing service. If you're in the area and considering coming here... just do it! You won't have any regrets.

    Taco  Arrachero - the best taco  I've tried
    Lyubov L.

    The place was busy. Service is not very fast, but our server was nice. The food is very good. Tacos were super delicious

    Alambre de arrachera, highly recommend!
    Tiffany L.

    Delicious and affordable. The best sirloin tacos and highly recommend the alambre de arrachera (basically Mexican cheese steak mmmm). The pastor is very good, but El Fogon right next door does it better. Horchata is a bottled brand and way too sweet.

    If you like tacos (and really, who doesn't) you need to stop by and try the Alambre de Arrachera con Queso, or at least some arrachera tacos. It may be the best meal you have in your entire trip to Mexico. This is an authentic taqueria with delicious pastor, choriqueso, and tacos de alambre. Heck, even the burger looks good!

    Known as a late-night hotspot in the days before COVID-19 Don Sirloin remains during daylight hours today, all four locations still doing good business with the most popular that on Avenida Constituyentes not far from El Fogon. A little more expensive than the competition, approximately 2 additional pesos and one less Tortilla per Taco, it is directly from the spit that Meat is sliced quickly, the Pastor bright orange but not nearly so succulent as El Fogon, though the eponymous Beef finds fat rendered with flesh extra-tender. Also offering Hamburgers, Burritos and booze, with service English-fluent and friendly, an under-discussed surprise is Don Sirloin's Chorizo with unexpected brightness and medium-heat that dissipates with a hint of Cinnamon lingering.

    +upgrading these guys to 4 stars +sirloin tacos +sirloin TORTA con queso!! +same idea as El Fogon, but less crowded & better hours -no agua fresca -probably EXTREMELY unhealthy

    Skirt steak tacos. Best taco meat ever!
    Allen D.

    Our favorite taco place in town. The skirt steak is a must try. The beef is sooooo tender and juicy. The sirloin was really good as well. Recommend!

    Delicious ! One of few delicious places of playa del Carmen if you're on a lower budget ! Went 3 times during our vacation !

    Bomb micheladas!
    Luis G.

    A must wen visiting Playa del Carmen tacos are great also the drinks! The sirloin gringas and tacos are bomb

    Steak tacos after I added the garnish and salsa.  They literally just come with only the meat.

    Axiote - Course 5 of tasting menu - beef tongue

    Great experience last Friday night at this Michinlin Bib restaurant. So glad I stopped by this…read moreplace is bomb and super not pretentious! Wish I got the tasting menu but I opted for 3 of the specialties instead and they were delicious... Tasting menu is best value tho! I got the raw trout sashimi thing and it was by far the best plate of the meal (first dish/appetizer) , then got the shrimp flautas (good not amazing) then I got the trout loin for the entree (good not amazing) Skinny marg was perfect and so was the waitress! Would recommend and go back but like I said I would for sure do with the 6 or 8 course tasting menu!

    Okay, where do I start…read more I made a reservation about a month before our trip, they were already pretty booked so I made a 4:45pm. I somehow missed that the coursed meal doesn't start until 6...and we didn't realize until same day. They couldn't rebook us until 9PM but told us to swing by early to see if they could get us in AND THEY DID. It was a Christmas miracle. And I'm glad they did because the whole experience was about 2.5 hours from start to finish. The place isn't very big, but is beautiful inside. They have an awesome bar and and open kitchen so you can see everything. It's a really neat place. We were seated pretty quick once they got the table cleaned, and then were greeted by our waitress. When we told her we were there for the 8 course meal, they switched waiters on us, and then the upselling started. Right off the bat they tried to talk us into a cocktail...when we were doing a pairing with our meal. It took them a little time to get the meal going, and then between courses was a little hit or miss. Sometimes it was free flowing and sometimes it took 10-15 minutes to get our next dish. The food. We were a little nervous we would leave still a little hungry but I assure you, you will not. For ~$100USD each, you get so much food, and a drink with every course. It was fantastic and so worth it. Here were the courses and pairings (that I can remember lol): 1. We started with the dips - a bean dip with cheese sauce and guacamole with crickets. Very classic, very well done. The crickets added a nice, nutty flavor. I was a huge fan of the beans with their blue corn tostadas, so much flavor. They also had a third dip that was pumpkin seed based, it was good but not as memorable. Their hot sauces came out with this course. It was paired with a house mezcal (with salts, cucumber, and orange) that was incredible and smooth. 2. Shrimp ceviche which was super refreshing and flavorful. They paired this with sparkling wine. 3. Sea bass with a cream sauce and grapefruit. I'm not a huge fishy flavor person - my first bite had all three compnents and I thought it was delicious. My husband just had fish as his first bite and thought it a little fishy, but once we added everything else he agreed it was great. Three small pieces, so it was a nice course. Paired with a sauv blanc. 4. Roasted tomatoes in a mole sauce. A nice veggie course. I thought they were cooked well, nothing super fancy. Paired with a Chardonnay. 5. Cooked shrimp with potatoes. My husband called this a "filler" course - there wasn't much to it. The sauce had some greens in it but it was just something light and easy to serve. Can't remember the pairing here. 6. THE CARROTS. MY FAV THING. OMG. Literally so fresh, the perfect texture, and the sauces. I could have eated a whole bowl with this one. Paired it with a red blend. 7. Cow tongue. I forgot a photo. I was starting to get drunk, I'm sorry. Paired with a red wine. This was tender, the sauce was delicious. If you're not used to beef tongue, please don't let it scare you. It was amazing. 8. Dessert. Also amazing. I think it was paired with a sweet red but....a little drunk here...we got a cheesecake which was more on the savory side, super unique, and so delicious. I was a huge fan. We also got a passion fruit custard and I'm a SUCKER for passion fruit. This was phenomenal. The food was INCREDIBLE. And such an amazing experience. And now the loss of a star. I hit on the service a little, but there was also some upselling which we don't love, especially at what is supposed to be michelin recognized. We often try Michelin recognized when we travel and the upselling was unexpected, I undertsand the culture down here, but still. ALSO we LOVED the house mezcal so much we asked for another shot ($280 pesos/shot). When we got the bill, the waiter upcharged to one of the most expensive mezcals on their menu ($520 pesos/shot) and refused to change it. We spent $60 on two shots after paying for our 8-course meal. It honestly was SUCH a dissapointing end to our meal and felt so icky. Be very careful with the service here.
