The meat on this burger was overseasoned and had the dense and springy crumb that I've chided in previous reviews. The bread was decent, but nothing special. The jalapeno poppers were the highlight of the meal. They were large, well cooked, and a nice balance of fried breading, pepper, and cream cheese.

Gourmet Burger spot in Playa? Word?! Say no more! We were so excited to check out 3XL, seeing as it…read moreis the only place of its kind in this area that we've come across so far. It is in an accessible location across from Walmart, close to the central plaza, which made for an easy find. On a hot, Saturday afternoon after biking around a bit, a fat burger and fries sounded positively delightful! So what did we think of this spot? Let's get straight to the point... Atmosphere - 3XL offers casual indoor dining, similar to any fast food burger joint. Tables were spaced out and social distancing with enhanced cleaning was in place. Rating 4/5 Service - Although it feels like a fast food joint, you are still "waited" upon. Menus are digital and not very clear in regards to what toppings are included with burgers. Our server was not extremely helpful in explaining their "XL" concepts to us and never checked on us after we ordered. Rating 3/5 Food - 3XL apparently charges extra for all toppings outside of the usual lettuce, tomato and onion. Totally disappointing as the burgers you see on their menu are misleading since everything on the burger is actually an extra charge. At $5-$10 a pop, these burgers by themselves are not cheap! 3XL states that burgers are made fresh and they even make their own bread in house. In all honesty, we can't really say we tasted this difference in regards to the bread or meat. We tried the XL "Pio-Pio" and the 2XL "Muuu" with corn, fries and posteles as sides. Our horchata was also slightly watered down. Everything was good, albeit not amazing and for the price you pay here, you expect amazing. Rating 3/5 Overall, the experience we were hoping for with 3XL was a tad disappointing. We found it to be pricey for average quality. If you're into one-time "I went there" splurges, then you'll enjoy what 3XL has to offer, however, if you're craving a juicy burger on a budget, this place may not be what you're looking for.

One thing I would note is that the nigiri pieces are way too big and sit on far too much rice. The flavor is good, but the size makes them difficult to eat without having to break them apart first, which takes away from the experience a bit. The service could also improve. At one point, our server was seen adjusting his pants with his hands and then handling our plates afterward, which wasn't very hygienic or professional. Other than those things, everything else was very good and we did enjoy the food. I would still go here again and hope to see a few small improvements.

Very friendly staff, great drinks and some tasty food. A bit pricey, but still good food. For an appetizer, we got their scallops and pork belly, which was AMAZING! Then We both got the grilled Octopus and if you like this sort of seafood, then you will love this. I know people don't like the texture, so then you can try a steak or something. But this Octopus was very delicious. The mashed potatoes were a hit and the French fries were really good as well.

The food I ordered Mixed Grilled to share with my aunt, shrimp, lobster, skirt steak, and chicken breast with rice, vegetables, and garlic sauces.
