We had such a great time at this restaurant. The food is not overbearing and although had a Mexican flair Mayan food is different and in a way almost more refreshing. We went with some friends me met on vacation and had a lot of fun having the Maragaritas with chile powder around the edge instead of salt. The food... more

This is one of the dining experiences that I will remember for a long time. Every thing was perfect...the table in the garden with the water running down the rocks...the service....the conchinita pibil...the beer. The owner was in the dining room, visiting his guests (he treats them like guests, too) throughout the evening. He and I had a long discussion... more

We found this place on our way out of Playa del Carmen. Walked from the ferry pier to it and it was a good place to eat. It was definitely a pricey, but the atmosphere was very inviting. It is located a couple blocks off the beach, so you have a nice view down the street of the white sandy... more

We traveled to Mexico for the first time October 25-31, and we looked up "Best restaurants in Playa del Carmen" before we came and we found Yaxche on that list. The service was really good.

Enjoyed getting away from the "normal" mexican... more

After reading many many positive reviews about this restaurant and getting recommendations from the hotel staff, I went to this restaurant that was supposed to be really great. Unfortunately my husband and I were very disappointed. The wait staff was great. The outdoor seating was beautiful. The description of the menu items was enticing but when we finally got to... more

This is a great gem in Playa. Centrally located in the middle of the tourist area, the atmosphere is casual, but cosmopolitan. The service is stellar and the food is outstanding. The menu can be hard to understand since odds are you are not proficient in Mayan recipes, but the staff is knowledgeable and their recommendations are well thought out.... more

We always... more

We at here on our last trip to Playa Del Carmen. I had heard mixed reviews but thought we would give it a try. We were enthusiastically welcomed into the restaurant and were seated in the courtyard behind the main section of the restaurant. It was very warm out, so they had fans blowing in the courtyard which were welcomed.... more
