This is a seafood restaurant that's dedicated to the tostada - a crispy, toasted tortilla that is flat and topped with anything. They have a huge menu with all kinds of topping combinations - all kinds of seafood, vegetables and dressings. There is a heavy emphasis on tuna and salmon on their menu. The tostadas also come in both cold and hot versions. We tried several of the tostadas. The cold tostadas reminded us of ceviche and were seasoned in a similar manner. I preferred the hot tostadas though. The Caramel Tuna (tuna covered with chipotle dressing) and Argentina (octopus were avocado) were two that stood out as being very juicy. The ingredients tasted fresh and the staff were friendly and attentive.
The ceviche was not enough fish and mainly cucumber, which I consider to be a filler. The dish needed something more savory as a balance. The tacos were fine but nothing exceptional.
Happy to come back here. A lot of fish choices. And love the shrimp broth! Decent prices too for this area of Playa
Came to Las Hijas de la Tostada for a late snack at PDC and they didn't disappoint! What we got: Tacos de pulpo al mezcal Tostada camaron caramelo Frozen mojito The location was perfect for people watching, the music was fun, and the service was quick and friendly. The frozen mojito was one the best I've had- couldn't taste the alcohol whatsoever but I definitely felt the effects hahahaha. The octopus tacos was good, but the highlight were the shrimp tostadas! My fiancé liked them so much he ordered 3 more for himself!
Located at one of Playa Del Carmen's busiest intersections, and amongst over a dozen locations across Mexico, Las Hijas de la Tostada promises guests fresh flavors and innovative combinations in a casual atmosphere with prices appropriate to the concept. Selling "The best Tostadas and Seafood in Mexico," a bold statement spread across seven menu pages as professional wrestling plays on televisions overhead, it is while ocean breezes blow through the open-air space that guests are treated to good service, thick complimentary Chips enjoyable with Salsa but far better with what might just be the creamiest Guacamole in town. Divided across several sections, both the muraled multi-leveled space and Las Hijas' bill of fare, "Chef Suggestions" prove a smart choice from start to finish, "Camaron Caramelo" from the Hot Tostadas an elegant fusion plate incorporating Asian elements while the Raw "Copan" utilizes sautéed Onions plus crispy Leeks for texture atop Ceviche Mixto. Less thrilled by room temperature New York Strip, marinated but just past rare despite the suggestion it is grilled, those seeking the Restaurant's best bite should instead focus on Mezcal Octopus Tacos that see the Cephalopod left with some texture and able to stand out against a complex background of Peppers, Tomatoes, melted Cheese, Avocado and seasoning.
The food here was fantastic I recommend getting the chiefs suggestions. My grilled Octopus tacos were f*cling fantastic. The DJ was good to a little too 40 and some dance hits but overall a good set list. I loved the art here as well as the view of the rest of the strip. Bonus they take debit and credit a rarity here. Estephania was my waitress and she was so kind and patient even attempted some English to match my broken Spanish. Overall would definitely recommend did I mention they were playing Shaft on the TV .
I came to one of these locations 3 years ago via my cousin's recommendations. It's a small place with white and blue decor. On a less busier side of LA Quinta ave. If you are a person who loves tostadas and ceviche, this is definitely the place for you. Ceviche isn't my go-to, but the ceviche they serve here is so unique and not like anything I've had in the US due it's creative combinations. For example, we go the salmón tostada, which consisted of salmon, avocado, cucumber, red onion, manos, etc. Also, we got the tostada de sandía. That was a unique one, consisting of ahi tuna, watermelon, red onions and habanero. These combos are so interesting and all the ingredientes pair so nicely. I was so excited to come back again. This is definitely something you should try, because ceviche like this is not common in the US Customer serve was also great. Very attentive, patient, kind, and can understand English (for those who don't know Spanish). But I always recommend you try speaking Spanish, it's much appreciate it and they'll give you the benefit of the doubt
This was the home of my absolute favorite tacos in Playa! I am in love with the mar y tierra tacos. I always would come and attempt to take it to go but I ended up eating it there because it was so fresh and delicious. Their Wi-Fi also has a really decent speed when I had to do a little bit of work before going home. It's right on Quinta and off my favorite street, 38, so I could quickly walk to the beach or back to where it was residing. Their staff is great and they made sure to provide hand sanitizer before allowing patrons to come in. Definitely a favorite down there.
Some people say this is a tourist trap for those who don't speak Spanish but want somewhat authentic Mexican food. Doesn't matter what they say, my friend and I enjoyed our meal here! We got three different tostadas and a large plate of grilled vegetables to share. Everything was tasty. I enjoyed the shrimp and mushrooms, but my favorite was the grilled veggies. Everything on the grill was sweet and juicy. We enjoyed the attentive service, when we had questions our waiter answered all of them. Oh and we got BOGO mojito, always a plus.

We stumbled into this restaurant because we were starving after shopping at the nearby Super Chedraui Selecto grocery store and their menu looked good. We loved the Chori-Tuna tacos (get the 3 piece special price) and Tuna al Pastor tacos. The mango smoothie was delicious. Prices are reasonable for a seafood restaurant. Service was excellent. read more

Great ceviche and specialty tacos! You gotta try the mixto ceviche and Muyil tacos....pretty amazing. You can't go wrong eating here while rummaging through the plethora of restaurants on La Quinta Avenida. We kept coming here on our stay and never got tired of it. Also, nobody in our group ever got "montezuma's revenge" here after dining several times on our 10-day stay in Playa. One of the great surprises at Las Hijas de la Tostada is the quality of their piña coladas...no joke, the best I had in Playa while on vacation there. Try them for yourself! I'd give the place a 5 star if it was not for the bathroom cleanliness. That could use some work...but then again, this is the norm in Playa.] 4.3 Stars read more
Downtown Playa Del Carmen is a bustling street with tons of food options. Without knowing the good one from the bad it can be a crap-shoot on which to use. Tostada was a total random choice Have to say we were pleasantly surprised by the great view and solid food. I had the Shrimp Burger which was very good. Wife had the portobello mushroom which was equally good. If in doubt on where to go? Hit this place for sure read more

Very vibrant and tasty place! Plenty of options on the menu, but if you like ceviche, you should try to tropical ceviche with mangos!! Another notable dish is the caramel shrimp tostada- absolutely fabulous. I would bring some spare cash because you will most certainly have street performers visiting your table! If you're reading this review, they're probably coming to your table first anyway LMAO! read more

The place has a nice atmosphere and the food is good, service was a little slower than what I was expecting. Their tuna carnitas tostada was the highlight of the meal, the tylka tostada was very underwhelming. It was worth a try, but I wouldn't come back. read more

Staying right by this place and wanted a drink . Ordered a ojo rojo my idea of a michelada and a polpo tostados! So tasty and for under $6 is dollars it's a perfect afternoon snack . The place was busy the staff is super nice and the fresh homemade salsa they serve complimentary is really good. Their hot sauces are made in house as well! read more
The hubs and I loved the tostadas at Los Hijos. So much so, that I decided to create a yelp page for them, a first to review! Super delicious food, incredible mix of flavors on each tostada we had, everything so fresh!! Food presentation is beautiful, seafood is fresh, staff is attentive and friendly and the price is very affordable. It's a casual but hip atmosphere. The tuna and shrimp tostadas are great. I especially loved the chipotle sauce and guacamole included. Yummy in my tummy!!!! Highly recommended! read more
