I enjoyed the live music and comfort I received from this mom and pop’s restaurant. The authentic flavors are incomparable to the Mexican chain restaurants in Saint Augustine. I highly recommend giving this spot a try.

I highly recommend Playa Chacmool to everyone, especially if you are looking for an authentic experience. Because that’s exactly what it is, from the amazing food, good music, and the beautiful Mexican culture. This family owned business not only gives you that, but makes you feel apart of the family while you are enjoying you time there. Please go and check it out, you will not be disappointed and will leave with an unforgettable experience.

The food was terrible, small portions, poor quality and extremely overpriced. The service was pretty non-existent too. I won't be back.

Top notch staff, great authentic Mexican food and cool atmosphere. Will definitely return!!
Playa Chac Mool is a great location, a few blocks from St Augustine beach. Ambiance is comfortable, a smaller restaurant with appropriately 20 tables, it's a good idea to come early or likely there is a bit of a wait. Can accommodate parties as large as 10. May have live music on weekends. Service is great. Friendly and attentive with good advice if you are having trouble deciding on a menu option. Staff were able to accommodate our requests for some cook options without any issue. Great selection of beers and mixed drinks. Menu is a little more limited but the focus means dishes are all good- can't go wrong here with any options include make your own combo plates. Portions and prices are fair and a little lacking on the amount of protein served in dishes but flavors are very good and portion sizes were filling combined with the appetizer we ordered. The Chac Mool sauce offered here is unique. Smokey with a bit of heat, it is rich and quite tasty. Also great with chips. A nice dining experience with strong marks across the board for ambience, service and food. Four stars due to the protein portions being on the small side. Definitely worth a try.

Very friendly service. Small and quaint ambiance. Live music. As for the food, it was underwhelming at best. Bland. Under seasoned. Neither of us even finished our meals.

Food was wonderful! Had the beef chimichanga and some home made guacamole & chips. Great service too in a quaint atmosphere. Will be back!!

Stopped in for lunch. I had chicken fajitas. They were good and are served with sour cream and guacamole which many restaurants upcharge for. Husband had the chimichanga which is offered with ground beef or chicken. It was much smaller than any he's had but it was enough for lunch and it also came with sour cream and guacamole. Service was fast and friendly.
