Jonathan

We had a great experience! We were served by a super helpful waiter, Axcel. The plate of the morning was something called "surprise eggs". I can highly recommend them; it's something between savory and sweet.
Jace

Get the enchiladas with Serrano! Close your eyes and savor every bite, swallow. Now open your eyes and feast on the view. A perfect meal at a perfect restaurant! This is a peak experience that will likely go unmatched in my life! Bonus: Jenga with sweet potato fries brought a playfulness I never expected.
Clarissa

Hands down the best restaurant!! I LOVED my enchiladas!! Everyone loved their food and they were very accommodating! I loved the is that really what they said juice of the day, which was banana, guava and orange juice.

Pernille

Our guide took us to the most amazing little street vendors and small restaurants. Everything we tried was delicious and we were SO full by the end! We’re definitely going back to more than one of the places we visited!
Hannah

Our tour was great! Emmanuel was an amazing guide! He took us to some amazing authentic places where the locals eat. He was very knowledgeable and also gave us more tips for the area during our stay. We loved this experience
Debbie

It was a small group which made it more personable and very easy to ask questions. Our tour guide was very knowledgable. She explained about the cultural and history behind some of the day of the dead art work around the town as we passed it. All the stops had amazing food and it was very interesting finding out about how they are prepared and the ingredients they use. Would definitely recommend
Heather

Good mix of Mexican foods, local and cultural info off the beaten path. Fabiola was great!
Nader

This is a excellent spot for breakfast, beautiful outdoor courtyard and we really enjoyed our breakfast here. The food and drinks and service is very good. The fresh passion fruit juice is phenomenal and we will definitely be back for another great experience!
Debbie

We loved this restaurant so much we ate here twice during our 2 weeks in Playa del Carmen. I also ate here 5 years ago and remember it being just as nice then. There were so many delicious options on the menu as well as huge vegan choices. The restaurant is nestled in beautiful trees and gardens and the restaurant itself is beautiful. Delicious food at reasonable prices with great service.
