La Playita, is located right on the lagoon on Avenue #1 and Calle 26. Excellent food and service! Good place for a sit down meal, or to grab a bite or a drink and hang out all afternoon. They have a doc on the lagoon, where many take a dip in the water or do some bird watching. Fairly good options for vegans and gluten sensitive folks. Could improve soy free protein options. Favorites for me were the portabella mushroom tacos, their sauces and salsas, the Mango Mezcal, and the Vegan GF chocolate pie. The latter is good for dark chocolate lovers. My husband enjoyed the fish tacos and the Ahí Ajonjoli. We got attached to our waitress Pepita. She was so tolerant with all my food allergy questions, as well as, kind and joyful. read more

Amazing location on the lake. We went for lunch after hanging out in the lake at public access beach close by. We drove and there is a public parking place (free) right across the street. We started with berry salad which was good and split between 4 of us. I had marlin tacos which were interesting and not exactly what I was expecting since they were more al pastor style, but good. My husband had octopus tacos which were great. My daughter had the hamburger, and we made fun of her for going to a beach restaurant and ordering a hamburger, but it was one of the best hamburgers I've ever tasted. My son had pasta bollognese which he liked. They also each had smoothies which were delicious. The service was very good, and we were near the water so it was just lovely. Much better than anything we had in Tulum and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend! read more

La Playita - pizza - Seafood Near Me - Bacalar, ROO

This Restaurant is right on the water with lovely eating spaces, great views, delicious food and great service. My picky Grandkids loved their meals. I had tasty shrimp and vegetables with a sugar free watermelon and cucumber drink. I thought it was unbeatable until we returned and I ordered Sugar free cantaloupe and cucumber drink (so good) and a hamburger with no bun. The meat is better than any I've had here and in the United States. It has a smokey crunch outside with a flavorful perfect inside. Covered with bacon, tomato, lettuce, Bleu Cheese and some guacamole. Best meal, best waterside ambience and best service. read more

Second time we came here. One was for lunch, they gave us a paper menu that we couldn't even read Bc it was very windy... the service was pretty bad, and food was just decent. Today we decided to give it another chance and wanted to come for dinner, wrong, bad idea, didn't learned the first time ‍... so, we got here, despite the fact that there is no one in the front area of the restaurant, no body came to greet us... we went to the back (lagoon front area) and there were two tables occupied, so we pick a table. I had to call someone to bring us the menu (not a paper menu this time) we ordered rib eye and milanesas napolitana with rice instead of French fries. While we waited for the food they brought us chips with sauces, we like the chipotle sauce but was not getting out, so I called the waitress and asked her to please chance the tap bottle Bc it was not getting out, she told me it was good, like I was stupid n didn't know how to squeeze a bottle, I asked for a second time it was not n to please change it, she again told me it was good (WTF) so I asked her to put sauce in my plate so she could tried it, then she was like "oh, yeah, it doesn't go out" ( that's what I said 5 mins ago). We ordered drinks that came after the food Bc she "forgot" even though I asked like three times for the drinks... the rib eye of my husband was good, my milanesa was cold and way to greasy, the rice was cold and taste old. Overall the food is decent, not that good to deal with that bad service, I will never come back to this place thanks to the service. read more

I loved this place so much I have to come back one day!! The menu had an amazing variety of food options even including several vegetarian meals. The garden seating area, covered by a large tree, is right on the lagoon shore which creates the most tranquil atmosphere I have ever experienced at a restaurant - both beautiful during the day and at night. I had the most tender tasting raviolis filled with squash blossom, spinach, and onion. Can't wait to go back! read more

We stopped at La Playita after taking a boat ride in the lagoon. It was the perfect spot for us to wind down and grab some lunch after swimming in the Pirates Canal. It was pretty windy out in the patio but it didn't matter because the weather was perfect and the views were amazing. The staff was quick to take our order and to bring us our beverages. The food was delicious. Id def recommend the ceviche and their baguette sandwiches. After lunch we walked out onto the pier and were super tempted to go for a swim. But considering we were stuffed we decided it'd be best not to. Stop by enjoy the food and the views. read more

after a day spent on the boat in Bacalar my group yelped this place as our lunch spot. we loved the beach front, ocean vibes and the amount of seating that was available. i had 3 lightly fried shrimp tacos which was one of the best tacos i've ever had! the service was excellent and we also enjoyed the beautiful, live music as well. read more

Wonderful restaurant. Enjoyed a nice early dinner here. The staff are friendly and fast with service. We ordered the rib eye tacos which we were cooked well and tasted fantastic and also had the mini empanadas which were delicious. The location of the restaurant is great as it overlooks the lake and has a jetty you can walk out on to take photos read more

We all liked everything about this place: The service was great; the food was unique and delicious; the presentation, perfect; and the location, beautiful. I considered leaving a four-star review just to give them something to aspire too but ultimately decided against it because it's unfair to give a four-star review for five-star service. read more

Wife and I went here as recommended by our Airbnb host in Bacalar. Great place to chill, eat and soak in to the blue lagoon before or after meals. My favorites were the candied papaya dessert and their pulpo tacos. My only suggestion to place some candles/lamp in tables or additional lighting during dinner time since some spots are dim especially by the deck area. Recommended when in Bacalar! read more

This is a great place to go swimming, have cocktails and really good food. Great ambiance and the service was attentive and friendly. My favorite place in Bacalar and an excellent place to spend a whole afternoon read more

Bacalar is full of great places to eat. La Playita stands out first for it's location. You can go for a nice swim and then come back for a delicious tuna tostada. Second, it's prices. The food is really reasonable for a first class restaurant. Third, is the ambiance. During the day it's a beautiful covered garden space, during the night a jungle/club vibe permeates. It's hard to do better in Bacalar than La Playita. PS. If the owner of Playita reads this, get a mezcal for less than 200 pesos a shot! read more

Waited for 45 mins. Asked how muck longer for our food to arrive said it would take about an hour or more, there was only one other person at the restaurant. We decided to leave, don't recommend. read more

I loved this place it's a little on the pricier side. Has an amazing outdoor seating area.

They skirt steaks with steamed veggies where an absolute dream. You must also get a fresh cocktail !

What can I say, this place has been one of the worst places I've been to. As another review said, it is a tourist trap, the food claims to be authentic Mexican food and it turned out to be super bland. Instead of working on the restaurants image they should focus on improving the quality of their food. They have a parking lot but they make you pay for it and they have a sign stating that they're not responsible to any damage or stolen vehicles. So why even pay for the parking if they're not going to keep an eye on your car. After our dinner we decided to leave a small tip according to our experience and the waiter followed us to the exit demanding a bigger tip. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

We drove down from Cancun to enjoy the 7 color lake. After a long boat ride and swim we were looking for a hole in the wall place to eat. We ran in to this place by accident. Hands down this place is amazing... food and all. The atmosphere very relaxing. Our group was 7 and we all enjoyed our food. The place is very clean including the restrooms. Even the lollipop treat they give you at the end is delicious. Hope to return soon! read more

We hear a lot about this place as the restaurant where you can relax, swim, drink and eat. However, as soon as we arrived, the waiter told us that in order to keep the table, we had to order main dishes. So we were push to order. On top of that, the appetizers took more than an hour to arrive and our main dish hasn't come yet. Also, we ordered a mojito with one ice cube and it was full of ice... And when I asked the waiter he just removed the ice and brought the glass half empty (he could had fill it with mineral water). The three starts are for the location and the music. El servicio es pésimo y la comida regular. El lugar es bonito y y la música es agradable. Las dos estrellas son solamente por el lugar. read more

The food is amazing and also they have good customer service ! I wish I could have found this before ! Thank you

One of the greatest restaurants I've ever been to. The mood is relaxed, fun and tropical. The service is really great and the food is absolutely amazing. I can't wait to go back. read more

It's a great place to come and drink, eat and swim in the lagoon. We had the ceviche de pescado, tacos de arrachera, tacos de marlin al pastor, tacos de pescado, empanadas de carne and caprese, crepes and chocolate fondant for dessert. Totally worth it. The 4 stars rating is only because we went to Kai Pez before coming here and the food there is exceptional, but the ambience, drinks and view of the lagoon are better over here. read more

Great place with Awesome food and service. Placed close to the water. We had tacos and empanadas, which was delicious.

Nothing less than amazing. One of the best meals I've had anywhere in Mexico. Truly exceptional. We emailed ahead and selected a menu that worked for my boyfriend and me. I have a few food allergies and Ivethe knocked it out of the ballpark. I can't wait to come back. read more

Loved it. Great cocktails, good mescal selection, and fantastic location by the water. We had a pear/goat cheese pizza, which was good.

Well , could be the best restaurant in bacalar . The place is so Chillin and its perfect to a day pass . The food was Terrific !! BEST GRILL PULPO that I have eaten ! Seriously , so good ! They have some problem with the service but when I tried the first bite I forget about it ! read more

I used to like this place but just had 2 bad experiences in a row. Have been here several times. Ordered fish curry many times and this time no curry sauce n they refused to acknowledge the error. Also ordered Pulpo and was old looked like leftovers, burnt and cold. Not to mention not a complete full octopus like usual. I'm banning this place from this point on. Bad service as well for the amount of money you pay here compare to other places in town. read more

This place was outstanding so was the atmosphere. We had a quiet table by the pier. Totally romantic. Great spot if you're vegan! If you're tired of burritos this is your spot! read more

Horrible place! Food is greasy and expensive! I started to get sick of my stomach almost immediately after eating my food! We spoke with the manager about the food issue and he basically told us it wasn't his problem. He didn't even apologized to us or anything like that! If you like clean, non greasy and affordable food, don't come here. Also, they're short staff so don't expect them to serve your food shortly. Go somewhere else. read more

Great location and very good food. We went for lunch and plan on returning. The water is right there and they have a raft that you can walk out on. It's lovely. read more
