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.

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.

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

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.
