The food - incredible, sinfully good. The service - great, the bartender was out for some reason but they still managed to put some great drinks together for us. Ambiance - chill with some really good R and B playing. I wish we got to go back a second time during the trip but I'll never visit again without going here. read more

Ferron's Jerk Chicken - Margarita - Caribbean Near Me - Playa del Carmen, ROO

If I didn't taste it for myself, I wouldn't believe there was good Jamaican food in Mexico. The people are so courteous and service with a smile! Price was reasonable and atmosphere relaxed. I went to bother locations - one in town and the other in the tourist strip. The one in the tourist area was well decorated and bright! Same delicious jerk chicken at both places! I can still remember the taste and I will not soon forget it! Btw, for some unknown reason Maps would not bring up the downtown location. read more

The address and hours here on Yelp are out of date. We stumbled upon Ferron's while walking towards a different restaurant, and went here instead. Excellent choice. We got there after 7pm and there was no sign of closing. The waiter said they moved here two years ago. (Call or check Google Maps) Now then. The food and drink were great. Got the Jerk Chicken dinner for two - which comes with two sides. We chose rice/beans and fried plantains. The chicken had a tasty slightly salty flavor and was thankfully, very moist. Yay! Also ordered the Rib Dinner for one, which was delicious, fall off the bone. A bit fatty, but you don't want it super lean of course. The dipping sauce had a good kick and was welcome zing. The tortillas that accompany are more like fresh, doughy dinner rolls. The plantains were fantastic - and the white sauce for them is like a yogurt. Great combo. I enjoyed the 'Miami Vice' drink -- sort of like a Pina colada meets a daiquiri. They have an extensive bar list, including wine and of course several local favorites like mezcal and tequila. Casual, comfortable with friendly service. Reasonably priced. Totally hit the spot. So glad to find Ferron's Jerk Chicken. read more

What amazing flavorful food! Even my toddler devoured the chicken and the curry. Comfort food, felt like home amongst the playa chaos. A very simple sit down place.

So many tacos last few days. Wanted to try something new.. Read good reviews about this place so gave it a try. I was happy to see that this place had nice indoor sitting with AC . Ordered some jerked chicken, fried chicken, ribs, with side of mash potatoes and corn. Wish they had a combo pack so i didnt have to make 3 different orders.. . Well jerked chicken was pretty dang good. So full of flavor and moist chicken. It said spicy but it was not spicy at all. Fried chicken was also pretty dang good. Nice crispy outside skin and juicy and moist chicken inside.. The ribs were also pretty darn tasty. Almost fall of the bone and tender. Not too dry and seasoned lightly. It came with some dipping sauce I couldn't figure out the seasoning.. It was on the little sweet side but tasted good. Mashed potato was nice and creamy. Corn on the other hand tasted like it was boiled and grilled at the end. Over all food was very tasty.. Definitely would come here again. Price was not too bad.. Not super expensive but not cheap. read more

We went to the location off of 10th. The food was excellent. It is certainly the best jerk chicken I've had. The mashed potatoes were also to die for. The restaurant had a nice vibe and our server was very attentive. The price was exceptionally reasonable, too. Go to this restaurant! read more

Not sure if they switched location but I went to the one off 10 Avenida. Location: right off the street across from sports field Staff: beyond helpful and friendly Taste: not getting picture should say it all. I got the Jamaican chicken and it was delish! Had a kick of spice. Also had French fries, Mac and cheese and corn. Everything was delish. Parking: none Price: average read more

Service is exceptional!. The Jerk chicken was flavorful, coleslaw and mac sides were "ok" -not bad. The bread roll- tasty. The mango margarita was phenomenal. Just the right pulpiness and lime juice. Would I eat here again? Sure! read more

We got the fried chicken and it was ok it was supposed to come with two sides, but we were charged for the sides. We had macaroni and cheese and rice and beans and they were terrible. There are better places in Playa. read more

In Playa del Carmen, Mexico and spotted a sign "Ferron's Jerk Chicken: Jamaican Style". After getting dropped off by the beach, we walked back a few blocks to try the food at Ferron's. Absolutely, not disappointed! I don't think I have ever had as fresh a garlic bread/roll as I did here. Because I don't eat meat I asked my wife who is a connoisseur of jerk chicken what she thought. She said the "jerk chicken was authentic, well-seasoned, and moist!" I thoroughly enjoyed the seasoned fries and roasted corn. Will return here the next visit to Cancún. read more

This is the most craveable fried and jerk chicken I've ever eaten. It puts Popeyes and KFC to shame. We came all the way to Playa del Carmen to eat tacos, and instead all we wanted to eat was this friggin chicken. !! The sides and the chicken were so incredibly seasoned and so hot and fresh it just blew my mind. Whether it's pronounced Far-ROONS or Feroooons... this chicken was dynamite Sad it's not available in lame ass Colorado !! But it made our trip(which was a birthday trip, a memorable and nostalgic memory. Eat this chicken !!! Chicken bock bock goodness!!! read more

The best food. Every single item we ordered on the menu was so delicious, everyone was humming while eating the deliciousness of it all.

The chicken was out of this world juicy!! The food here was not expected to be spectacular and I kept passing it by. I kept saying oh it is just chicken but I was totally wrong! Best chicken ever! Flavors are deep and oozing with juice! Service as always, spectacular in Mexico. Ambiance is an open and dated joint but you will not care after getting that jerk chicken in your mouth! read more

Incredible execution on both the chicken and ribs. It's rare to find a place that does both so well. The chicken was juicy and tender, especially impressive for chicken breast. The jerk seasoning is strong, herbaceous, and harmoniously balanced. The ribs were tender, but also very juicy. They were not overcooked or dry in the least. And yet they were not too fatty. The order had just the right balance of greasy meatiness. I didn't need sauce for either of these meats. This is a powerful testament. read more

Go, but don't expect authentic Jamaican. This is "Jamaican Style". Although the jerk chicken for 2 was flavorful and even the breast was tender, the sides were ok. Service was great and attentive! I'd go back for the chicken and take to go. Pair it with something else. Empanadas were ok. Filling of chicken and cheese curry was good. I wasn't expecting the crust to feel like a deep fried corn tortilla. Didn't take a pic but you could buy one and share with another person to see if you like first. read more

Finally made it here for lunch! Hubby and I split the Basic 1/2 chicken meal. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the spicy sauce was very good, and the garlic roll a very yummy addition. Even with the two of us, we had enough food to take home for another meal. Another great addition to our restaurant recommendations on the "other side" in Playa. read more

Smh I waited another year to give it another try and it failed miserably.. as A Jamaican foodie.. there is NO jerk chicken.. just a smoked type of chicken.. and mashed potatoes I received was of a melted cheese sauce consistency. A complete joke. And to anyone that disagrees has never truly had a taste of jerk chicken. This was not even close. The rice and peas were pitiful.. clearly the place is only interested in money not not quality. The only good this is the French fries. A complete joke. read more

This review is based off ordering to go. We enjoyed a sampling of a few items off the menu. It did take a while for the order to be ready but we did not order ahead and it was a Sunday evening, nevertheless the food came out hot. The jerk chicken was juicy and delicious. The jerk sauce had a little kick to it but I love spicy so it didn't bother me. The ribs were tasty but they didn't exactly fall off the bone. I don't care for them to fall off bone but if that's what you are looking for then take that into consideration. The meats did come with an additional sauce of some sort which I did like. I wasn't a fan of the bread that also came with the order. Not worth the calories at all. I will revisit again and hopefully dine in and try some of the sides. They have a large indoor seating area and a great location to people watch. The hours are the site weren't correct as we did go initially in the afternoon at 12 but were told they wouldn't be opening until 1 and closing alot later than what was on the site. I would suggest updating that for future guest who want to visit. read more

Our group decided to go to Ferron's after reading the great reviews online. Let me tell you, this was hands down some of the best food I've tasted and that's saying a lot because not only have a tasted a wide variety of food from different places but I also cook myself. Everything was delicious. We had the jerk chicken, ribs, and pasta at our table. The presentation of the food was pretty, the restaurant was clean, and our server and the other staff members were extremely friendly and welcoming. I would absolutely recommend them! Our server was the nicest person. He worked hard and the chef worked even harder because I rarely take my leftovers but I definitely boxed my food up to go so I could enjoy it again later! read more

Toda la comida estaba delicioso! Que sabor! Mi y mi amigo fuimos a almorzar y esto es una revisión que todo comimos y el servicio: Español (english is below) Primera la comida: 1. El pollo jerk: Me encanta su pollo jerk. es muy jugoso y sabroso, pero no picante. tienen algunas salsas picantes en la mesa para usar. ¡pero pruébalo sin la salsa picante primero! (8,8/10, si lo esta mas picante, entonces 9/10) 2. el pollo frito también queda muy jugoso, muy bien sazonado y la corteza queda muy crocante. Por lo general, no como pechuga de pollo, pero la suya es una de mis favoritas. (8,4/10) 3. las costillas de cerdo también son deliciosas, pero me gustaría que fueran más picantes. ¡Además, la salsa de costillas que te dan al costado realmente agrega mucho sabor! Realmente me gustó esto esto también. (7,8/10, pienso que con salsa esta 8.1/10) 4. el puré de papas es muy singular. Es muy cremoso y tiene algo un poco dulce. Creo que funciona muy bien. (9/10) 5. los macarrones con queso también son muy cremosos y sabrosos. pero nada demasiado especial (7/10) 6. el pan de ajo estaba recién hecho. el pan era muy suave. Podría comerme cien (8,8/10) El servicio: 7. el servicio es excelente nuestro camarero era Antonio. fue muy amable, y atento. fue paciente mientras decidimos qué comer, dio recomendaciones y sirvió la comida de una manera muy amable! (10/10). 8. la comida tardó un poco en salir, pero no demasiado. Pienso en 15-20 minutos para servirnos toda la comida. pedimos mucho por lo que es comprensible. todo estaba muy caliente y fresco. 9. Creo que el precio es un poco caro, pero vale cada dólar. Recomendaré este lugar a todos! quiero ir de mañana! All the food was delicious! What flavor! Me and my friend went for lunch and this is a review we all ate and the service: Food first: 1. The jerk chicken: I love their jerk chicken. it is very juicy and tasty, but not spicy. They have some hot sauces on the table to use. but try it without the hot sauce first! (8.8/10, if it is spicier, then 9/10) 2. the fried chicken is also very juicy, very well seasoned and the crust is very crispy. I don't usually eat chicken breast, but yours is one of my favorites. (8.4/10) 3. the pork ribs are also delicious, but I wish they were more spicy. Also, the rib sauce they give you on the side really adds a lot of flavor! I really liked this this too. (7.8/10, I think that with sauce it is 8.1/10) 4. the mashed potatoes are very unique. It is very creamy and has something a little sweet about it. I think it works very well. (9/10) 5. Macaroni and cheese is also very creamy and tasty. but nothing too special (7/10) 6. the garlic bread was freshly made. the bread was very soft. I could eat a hundred (8.8/10) The service: 7. the service is excellent our waiter was Antonio. he was very kind, and attentive. he was patient while we decided what to eat, he gave recommendations and served the food in a very kind way! (10/10). 8. Food took a while to come out, but not too long. I think 15-20 minutes to serve us all the food. We ask a lot so it is understandable. everything was very hot and fresh. 9. I think the price is a bit expensive, but it is worth every dollar. I will recommend this place to everyone! I want to go tomorrow! read more

Food was great. I was impressed by the flavor of the chicken. The corn was the stand out of the meal and was really good m. Plantains were a little greasy but that was about it. Will eat there again when in town. read more

When in Playa del Carmen, try the jerk chicken.... wait, what?! XD The guys came across Ferron's Chicken on Tripadvisor and were dying to try it out. So on Sunday, we hopped over to the little hole-in-the-wall restaurant and were blown away! I would say that Ferron's is some of the best jerk chicken I've ever tried. :) Small and nondescript, the restaurant doesn't really look like much on the outside. But what they put on your table - man, it's definitely work the visit! I shared the following with two other friends: -Whole Jerk Chicken - YUM. Right off the grill, the chicken was flavorful, tender and all-around amazing. The full order comes with a side of bread and hot sauce. Just FYI, be prepared to wait a little because they cook it fresh! -Side of Taquitos - These were some of the tastiest taquitos ever! Light, crunchy and crispy, each order comes with four taquitos. -Side of Corn - The grilled corn just falls right off the cob... :Q We got all of this for about 160 pesos! Talk about good food at a good price. :) The people working at the restaurant were super friendly as well - they pulled together extra tables and chairs for our large group, even with limited seating. Side note: hot sauce is already drizzled over pretty much everything (the chicken, the taquitos), so if you're not a fan of spice, be careful! :P Overall, I think Ferron's Jerk Chicken was definitely worth the detour and wait! read more

One of our favorite restaurants in Playa Del Carmen! We usually order the food over the phone, as they have a delivery service. The jerk chicken is melt in your mouth delish, as is the ribs. If you don't like it too spicy, you can ask them to put the sauce on the side. Also, the grilled corn is some of the best I've ever had. With a side of cole slaw and mashed potatoes..it's serious mouthgasm! The prices are currently higher than their online menu, but still worth it. read more

Went to the new one on 10th. Excellent, but no alcohol as a FYI. The jerk chicken in particular was terrific.

Everything was just amazing. Had it about 6 times while I was living in playa for 2 months!

Who would have thunk it....Jamaican food in Mexico...all things point to "no thank you"..but as cross country food establishments go, this was easily one of the best I've been to. Food was excellent on every tier..place is quaint and simple..everyone in our group enjoyed every item that we had..if you make your way to this part of Playa...and can take a few minutes to find this place, you will be pleasantly surprised...definitely worth the effort...Get in..Get out..enjoy... read more
