The food is amazing. So simple and fresh and DELICOUS. Go for a big meal or just a couple tacos to snack. We went twice in 4 days. :)

This place was recommended to us by a local. It was amazing. We got the "chamoyadas" and they were to die for. We could have sat and slurped down several of those. I tried a few different tacos/tostadas and my husband and I both liked the tempura fried shrimp tacos best of all. This is an absolutely perfect place to... More

Aguachiles should be much higher rated among the restaurants in PDC! A woman at another restaurant that did not have seafood recommended it to us--what a good tip. The seafood is fresh and the menu has interesting options, like tacos with lettuce as the shell (very good, by the way). The prices are very, very reasonable, compared to other places... More

Yum! Try all the different types of fish tacos! We first tried this restaurant in Tulum. Had to come back again. Seafood is fresh and cheap. Friendly staff. Habanero oil is good on everything!

In a city where it's all Italian, it's hard to find decent Mexican food. 2 locations-both good. You should eat here. Beware the Habanero oil!

Apparently there are two locations. We ate at the one between 1st and 5th Avenida on Constituenties. It is a casual, local style restaurant out of place in the center of tourism, but quite welcome. Contrary to other comments, we found the prices very high. The food quality was excellent however. There is no Taco Bell in Playa and the... More
