Got a mix of al pastor and chicken, all of which came with many bags of salsa (red and green). General consensus was the al pastor was great, chicken was a bit dry and passable. Washed it down with some horchata (which was also fine). Skip if you don't eat pork, but 5 stars for the al pastor in terms of flavor and value.

I didn't come to Mexico to eat at McDonalds. But like any bad tourist, I am perpetually curious…read moreabout the international version of any Mickey Ds. Typically, they're good and offer something unique / regional. This one on the other hand, was not good. In fact, it was terrible. First things first, I was appalled at how filthy the place was. I was under the impression that McDonalds did its best to appeal to the masses with cheap and convenient comfort food and also keep the joint sightly. The floors had this sticky grime to it like it hadn't been mopped / deep cleaned in awhile and the air was thick with this greasy musk. To make matters worse, the ventilation must've been out because it was uncomfortably hot. But no matter, my curious group of gringos were in need of some McFood, so we ordered enough to puzzle the turistas around us. Fish filets, quarter pounders, fries galore, cheeseburgers etc, a whole gamut of the menu essentially. We ordered drinks as well, but the ice machine wasn't working. Thank goodness the sodas were chilled. What really irked me was how unfriendly the service was. I am used to inept service in the fast food arena since I live in NYC, but this was as apathetic as it could be: counter folks barely acknowledged us and to no one's surprise, got our orders and totals incorrect. This place wasn't busy, but it did seem understaffed with a ghost crew working there. The sad part is, I've been to another McDonalds in town (https://www.yelp.com/biz/mcdonalds-playa-del-carmen-2). Although very mediocre, it still was light years ahead of this one. Lastly, we didn't find anything unique about the menu. Nothing regionally interesting to us, which was virtually the only reason we came to check it out.

Horrible Horrible experience. We ordered 4 different meals off the menu. Half the order came back…read morewrong but since we didn't speak Spanish, they weren't able to figure out what we were saying so we took the order back to our seat. There was no ice available for drinks. Half the drinks were out so you were only left with a couple options to choose from. They didn't have any straws. The ketchup dispenser was empty and there wasn't anyone available to help us unless you stood in the long line to order again. By the time we sat down to eat our food and fries were all cold. I orders the Big Mac meal and the meat on it didn't even resemble meat. The picture I posted shows the quality of the meat patty. WE WOULD NEVER GO BACK AGAIN. My husband ended up getting sick that night. Not sure if it was from McDonald's but I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with what he ate there.

We waited inside why they cooked our order. The atmosphere was cool, very trendy, clean and designed beautifully with an in door out door seating option. They had a variety of foods to choose from especially if you have allergies, like gluten, dairy free, or plant based. The burritos we got were huge! They wrap them in banana leaves and let me tell you they were crazy good! When I first saw them I was little like disappointed. I thinks because I stupidly thought the banana leaves was the actual shell of the burritos not that the tortillas is also inside the leaves. However, my disappointment quickly vanished as I took on bite. These burritos were fire!!!!!

This place was close to our hotel and they had a sign for 2 for 1 margaritas and 3 tacos for 100…read morepesos for happy hour! HH was 2-6 and we caught the last hour. This is part of a hotel, but I forget the name. The outdoor seating area was very similar to most Tulum restaurants with the white gravel and wooden tables/chairs. We ordered margaritas and they were very tasty and fresh, with lots of herbs. It was almost like a mojito! I had steak tacos and my hubby had shrimp, so we could mix them up for a little surf-n-turf. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the steak was nice and tender. Definitely good for only 100 pesos! It wasn't very crowded on a Monday afternoon, but I have a feeling with their HH deal, it won't be long until it's standing room only!

We've enjoyed an authentic Mexican breakfast here (definitely order a coffee as well) fabulous cocktail hours (try the passion fruit mojito-divine!), amazing dinners with friends...we love the steak, goat cheese salad, guacamole, octopus (the appetizer is a must! And the main is equally delicious). The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, and the food is top quality (and much less expensive than beach front restaurants). Staff is fun and friendly, although service can be slow, but mostly because everything is hand-crafted.

Kentucky Fried Chicken, indeed it is not the best fast food shop.In one hand, the taste and the…read morequality of the food provided in this shop it is quite good. The chicken is tasty and crunchy, the burgers are relatively big and volumy compared to other chain shops that sells hamburguers. But in the other hand, because of the reason that this shop is a fast food shop, well, it's not defective, but the quality does not surpass the "fast food shop" quality. Another unsatisfying point to denigrate is that the time to wait from the time that you order the food, to the time that the food is done and delivered is too long for this place to be called a fast food restaurant. I mean, usually fast food restaurants take about 10 ~ 20 minutes for an order to be done, but Kentucky Fried Chicken takes from half an hour for minimum, and up to an entire hour, if the restaurant is in the peak hour. It might take more time than an average fast food restaurant, and obviously way more than an average restaurant. If you have time and a lot of hunger, i might think it is a good place to buy their food, but if you don't, it may not be the greatest option.

You take a piece of the guava block and leave it on your tongue, and sip your drink. Very very smooth! Would highly recommend this unknown drink. Michelin starred, reservations highly recommended. Better to come without heels since the flooring is made out of pebbles, dim lighting contributing to the dining experience, and fantastic service.

It was very intimate and perfect for couples but can definitely accommodate a large party. The cocktail I ordered was the Naked in Tulum which was mezcal based and tasted good, so much so that I ordered another one. The food we ordered included: the bone marrow, scallop crudo, Mayan octopus, suckling pig, and grilled sourdough. All were good. However the stand out for me was the Mayan octopus (highly recommend). For dessert we ordered the Marquesita which was not too sweet and a great finish to our meal. I can see why this place was on the Michelin guide. But be prepared to pay a pretty penny for your meal.
