Food Scene

I usually get the tacos al pastor or tacos arrancheros, but all of their food is really good though. It's inexpensive, casual, and authentically Mexican. Favored by locals and also tourists.

My favorite restaurant on the water. The softshell crab tacos are to die for, and I also like the lobster tail, too. Only open for lunch, not dinner. Not the cheapest, but worth it.

Always packed, lively, and delicious pizza. I also love the Mexican place across the street from here Cueva del Chango, but AirBnB doesn't have it available as a listing option.

In Plaza Pakal in Playacar, the plaza you walk past on the way to the beach or town. The BEST gelato I've had in Playa, I only get my gelato here now. Bonus: it's half the price of 5th Avenue gelato.
