The best rated seafood restaurant in Playa del Carmen
Do not take our word for it. Take it from 1,708 restaurants competing in the same city and more than 500 people who have already sat at our tables: a 4.9 rating and the #9 spot in all of Playa del Carmen on TripAdvisor.
Octopus runs this house
Our signature dish is the Tentacle Taco: octopus marinated in achiote with sour orange, or Nayarit-style zarandeado, seared over high heat. First time here? Start there. Then come the ceviche tostadas, the campechano cocktails and the fresh oysters.
On the corner of 25th Avenue and 28th Street the seafood arrives fresh, gets cleaned with care and is served without disguise. No foams, no tweezers: tostadas plated to order, cocktails built in front of you and tentacles seared on the griddle.
The reviews repeat two things: the flavor and the service. We are a neighborhood seafood restaurant, the kind you hardly find anymore: honest tables, service that knows your name and fair prices. That is why locals bring their visitors here.
Fresh is not a slogan, it is the method
The ceviche is cured in lime when you order it, not before. The batter carries ice-cold beer and crunches when you bite it because it came out of the pan, not a heat lamp. Seafood is prepped the same day and the catch of the day is announced out loud.
The salsas are made in house: Pulposa Mayo, Verdoña, Infernal Habanero, the Mysterious Black Salsa. Each one has a name because each one is made here.
