We came here to escape the heat and have some beer. Next to our table, there was a group of women…read morewith kids clearly having a great time. It was nice to see after a year of quarantine. We ordered our beer but also got the tortilla espanola. I've never had one I was blown away by but this was delicious. It was a little salty but the balance of egg and potato and the texture was perfect. It made the beer go down faster. The toast on the side came with a garlic cream which was so delicious, we had to ask for a side of it. Food, service and ambiance were great. I would definitely come back.

While I've only ever had the free appetizers, there is an actual dinner menu with proper Italian dishes. It's a bit pricey, so I'd treat a full meal here as a bit of a splurge. The staff - Eric especially - are all super friendly and awesome. They're always happy to accommodate a big group, even when they have to cobble together the tables!

Colloquially known just as "38th", this is probably one of the nicest bars in Playa that isn't…read moreexclusive or hidden behind a resort. Early evening vibe is chill, and they usually have 2-for-1 drink specials. The margaritas in particular are quite good, although they could be served in bigger glasses. The food is mostly bar items and tapas, but they're cheap and tasty. They have a handful of different taquitos with humorous names (i.e. impossible to translate) like "The Golden Chicken". Enjoy that. Late night brings in live music and a much more energetic atmosphere. By midnight the place is usually packed. Pro Tip: Watch the entrance; there's a rock path over a (real) pond that's easy to overlook and fall into, especially late at night!

I had the regular chicken milenesa one day and the Napoleon torta another. If you're hungry and want to taste several levels of awesomeness, go with the Napoleon.

Great place to meet for drinks and small eats…read more They have a light and dark beer on tap, and nightly drink specials. There's a tapas menu with cheap eats (nothing over 100 pesos) and options for vegetarians. It's a small place so it gets packed, but it's a fun atmosphere and it's in a great location being just across the street from Piola. The grilled cheese, bratwurst, pulled pork sandwich and Spanish chorizo are all good, although none were so amazing that I'd go back just for them.
