The house of octopus

Octopus runs this house

Placer Pulposo is a seafood restaurant in Playa del Carmen, on the corner of 25th Avenue and 28th Street. The seafood arrives fresh, gets cleaned with care and is served without disguise: tostadas plated to order, seafood cocktails built in front of you and octopus tentacles seared on the griddle. Fair prices and neighborhood warmth: that is why the 4.9 never slips.

What makes us a marisquería

Preparación de tostada de jaiba al momento en Placer Pulposo, Playa del Carmen

Truly fresh

Seafood is prepped the same day and the ceviche is cured in lime when you order it, not before. The batter crunches because it just left the pan, not a heat lamp.
