Food and service was great! Pretty expensive but the food was good!…read more My sister and I did the shareable meal. It came with 3 different cuts of steak, 2 sausages, veggies, salad, and 2 empanadas. The presentation was beautiful. The reason we chose that is because we walked past a table that had ordered it and we were both in awe. When we sat down, we sat closest to the street, and our food looked so enticing at least 3 other groups stopped after seeing our food, then decided to eat at El Diez! All three steaks were great! Well seasoned with a perfect hint of salt. We chose the sausage cheese and the corn cheese empanadas, both were delicious. The grilled veggies were mostly onions and green peppers with a very small amount of zucchini. I didn't try the sausages, but it looked good!

My best friend saw Rockas on TikTok and made it a "must-try" for our trip to Playa del Carmen, so…read morewe had to check it out. I suspect there may have been a management or ownership change since the videos we saw, as the experience felt a little different than expected, but the team there is working hard. When we arrived with our party of 8, we were greeted by a very pleasant staff who did a great job accommodating our large group. As for the food, it was a bit of a mixed bag, but there are definitely some highlights: Garlic Shrimp: This was absolutely on point. I honestly should have ordered a second plate, but I didn't want to be greedy! Rasta Pasta: Packed with flavor and a solid choice. Jerk Chicken: The star of the show. I could have easily just eaten this for my entire meal. Oxtail: This was a bit of a disappointment; it had good flavor, but the meat was tough rather than falling off the bone. We did have a few hiccups with dishes taking a while to come out, but the owner came over to apologize and personally explained that they were understaffed due to some last-minute call-outs. She was a very nice lady, and we were totally understanding of the situation. If you decide to give them a try, I would 100% recommend starting with the garlic shrimp and going for the Rasta pasta with the jerk chicken. We appreciated the hospitality and the effort the team put into making our large group feel welcome!

Especially when we were looking for a place to celebrate some very exciting family news! Rockas serves a delicious menu of food inspired by both Jamaican and Caribbean influences, with (of course) a dash of classic Mexican cuisine too. From their appies to our delicious meal, nothing disappointed. What put this latest experience over the top, though, was the kind and amazing service we received. When they found out our special occasion, they celebrated right along with us and brought out a special treat too. Simply amazing! And of course, you can't beat the Calle 38 jungle vibe and outdoor seating here. Definitely worthy of 5 stars or more!

Must try: Cachapa Chévere!…read more Why: Delicious breakfast, which I tried the Cachapa for the first time! It came with black beans, plantains, cheese, avocado, and I added an egg. The corn battered pancake-like shell was soft sweetness. The Cachapa was much larger than I thought so it was filling! I was happy and my tummy was full to kick off the morning right. Notes: Cute place a few blocks from main 5th Avenue. They have indoor and outdoor seats. Clean and spacious. The server was awesome! Super welcoming and helpful. I was practicing my Spanish while he was practicing English. It was fun and engaging. The other workers were friendly too checking in if I needed anything. They provided 4 shot sized juices to start and my fav was passion fruit. Had a great time and a great breakfast! Definitely saving this place for a future visit!

Our service was great and I appreciated they had food options that are different from other places in Cozumel. We ordered the hummus, which was probably one of the best hummus's I've ever had. We also ordered the tempura salmon skewers, grilled corn and my husband had the crispy chicken burger. All were great but the hummus and corn were my favorite. For cocktails we had the Fuego and Berry Smash. Both were light and refreshing, and not overly sweet which I appreciated. I would stop by again. I recommend sitting outside to enjoy the ocean view. There was only one small complaint from my husband, they forgot the chipotle sauce on his sandwich. Otherwise everything was wonderful.

I need the USA to take note that if I'm paying for oysters (approximately$35usd per dz in this case) they should definitely be sparkling and dirt-free.

My wife ordered a mango margarita and it was great. We enjoyed our lunch here and we will be back on our next visit to Playa Del Carmen.

The location is fabulous. it is on the main strip on 5th Ave but on the second floor overlooking the hustle and bustle below. You get a great view with a romantic, peaceful atmosphere. The décor has a tropical vibe with lots of plants. The hostess, server and manager were all super nice and helped us choose the best items on the diverse menu. We started with some ceviche and stuffed jalapenos. Both were delicious. I order a glass of Malbec from Argentina- happy they had a decent wine selection as many places in Mexico only have good beer or tequila. For my entrée, I had bacon wrapped tiger shrimp on a bed of mashed potatoes. Yum!! Daniel had a lobster pasta dish and it was quite good too though I think we both preferred mine. The price was very reasonable - for 2 apps, 2 entrees and 2 glasses of wine it was $77 USD before tip. It would be nearly impossible to have that much for that price at a fine dining place here. Thanks for a lovely experience, Madre Tierra!
