15 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Playa Del Carmen

“This is not a joke: this was the best chicken I ever had in my entire life (and I am from Italy: here we know how to cook)!!! The chicken was extremly tender and juicy, with a tasty char on the skin. The service was super nice, they also allowed me to take a look at the chickens in the brazier. I would recommend this place to whoever is planning a trip in Playa Del Carmen. Il miglior pollo del mondo: andateci!!!“

“The food is delicious ? the place is small but cozy, it was full, that tells you that you will not regret it ♥️ BUT, the treatment of the lady who took our order, terrible, she seemed to be in a bad mood ? very dry, not cheerful at all , he spoke very harshly to his companions. We will definitely return hoping the attitude of the lady who served us will change since she turns all that good into a negative.“

“Excelente, Excelente, Excelente. Apenas se innaguro el pasado domingo y siendo muy objetivo tienen 3 MB, razones MB, el servicio, amables, educados, atentos ñ, serviciales, algo poco común en la región. MB, en los sabores de los alimentos, la carne en su punto, los tacos generosos, con salsas diversas, el caldo riquísimo buen sabor y generoso, de hecho me ofrecieron servirme un poco más por el mismo precio, eso es cultura Ciudad de México, no pierden nada y ganan mucho. MB, en precio, la.barbacoa, suele ser más económica en el centro del país, pero para estas regiones que los insumos son muy caros, el precio esta acorde al precio de las carnitas y el borrego siempre es más caro, por eso el precio es acorde Gracias por estar alli.“

“This place was hard to find since Google has very little information on it, such as saying it’s only open 10pm-12pm Fri-Sat (it is closed Saturdays, and otherwise open 9am-3pm and 6pm-midnight Sun-Thursday, and open only in the daytime on Fridays). When we did find it, however, it was soooo worth it.I believe it’s beef barbacoa that they do, which is like the milder, fattier version of birria…and they do it really, really well. The meat is supple and dripping with fat, melting nicely into the double tortillas. The consommé is rich and overflowing with meat. We honestly ordered too much, since we thought 2 tacos at 20MXN each and one consommé at 75MXN would be a good snack for two.We severely underestimated.For 115MXN, or $7USD, we got two decent tacos and a pint of consommé, complete with a bag if super spicy salsa verde, four like wedges, and a stack of 8 extra tortillas to assemble our own tacos with. We weren’t that hungry, but we ate it all with vigour.Very great value for the price, and a very authentic little hole in the wall run by a charming and friendly family. Wasn’t busy when we got there, which still confuses me as to why.I blame Google.“

“The taste is good, the portions of the extras are good, but the prices have risen quite a bit and the size of the chickens have decreased, now they look like godornices
At the checkout the employee is dry and bad-faced, she has no service or customer service“

“I didn't take pretty photos but everything is super delicious, it's the best lamb barbecue I've tried in Playa del Carmen, tacos for $25, 3 people ate and for the three of them it was $460, two consommés, three soft drinks and a half of barbacoa. The attention and very fast and super friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is a ramp and the tables are well located so that any wheelchair can access them.“

“If you like BBQ, this is a must! Viking is the real thing when it comes to BBQ!
Th Brisket is smoked perfectly with the beautiful smoke ring and the ribs cooked perfectly! Custom BBQ sauce for all palates will be the perfect finish to your BBQ experience.
Unfortunately I do not eat carbs so I did not try sides, but hopefully one of you foodies can keep me up to date.
Viking BBQ will be a staple in my dining out experience.“

“The location is wrong on google, there are 2 with the same name nearby and one of them is wrong. They might not be open exactly when they say but just keep checking and they will probably open up. The queso birria Tacos with the consume are fire ??? Get you some!“

“Great food and impeccable service in this quiet, relaxed corner away from the hubbub of Avenida Juarez.
The cochinita pibil is excellent, the barbecue tuna is exquisite, and the cocktails are also excellent.
Highly recommended“

“If you’re looking for the best southern style fried chicken in Playa del Carmen then look no further. This is the spot which hits the spot! The chicken was soft, moist and perfectly crispy. Definitely worth it. I will definitely go back again and again!“

“The truth in terms of cost/benefit is a super place. Ribs and roast chicken are the two main dishes, including rice, beans and tortillas in all orders. The place to eat there is small so takeout is the best option. They also have very rich tasting waters.“
