Another impressive place to eat at affordable price! We loved the atmosphere. We went there for lunch. Clean environment. Good tasty food, excellent efficient service, They make the tortilla on site.

Well I discovered this beautiful restaurant in beautiful Playa del Carmen and everything was beautiful as everyone working here is beautiful. I was so pampered by the service and impressed when tested my food. My couple of Margaritas made by Jessi the Bartender OMG. Fernando was always attentive and on top o f my needs. Definitely a place to must stop again. Highly recommended.

My husband and I came to Amate 38 for dinner and tried the guacamole, Chaya empanadas, the fish tikin xic style and the Valladolid style pork loin. All of our food was delicious and we were impressed by the authenticity, flavors and attention to detail. We would absolutely return to this restaurant in the future! Note: Dining is mostly outdoors so you will need to be mindful of mosquitoes or other creatures.

Mayan food is fine. This was our third visit. There's a raccoon family living in the sinote out back and one bit my 1.5yr old which led to our immediate departure to the Emergency Room for the 1st of 4 rabies vaccination shots. Suffice it to say we will NEVER return. Footnote: No food comps were given and my mother in law left to pay the alcohol free food tab while we left to address the wild animal bite.

We really enjoyed the atmosphere, food and service. The drinks were amazing. Kids enjoyed the tacos. The natural cenote was also really nice to see in the restaurant. Highly recommend.

Had food poisoning right after ordering chicken tacos for dinner; higiene wasn’t taken care of obviously. It is truly disappointing to pay for a service that will cause severe vomiting, avoid this place!

Went twice, one for dinner one for breakfast. Really cool place, amazing food, great service, great drinks!! I cannot recommend this place enough. The owner is always there walking around, waiting tables and making sure everything is working as it should. Not as expensive as one would think. Really nice place.

The place is located in one of the most beautiful streets in Playa del Carmen, surrounded by trees that give the place a jungleish vibe. The restaurant it's beautiful, and the food is just amazing. We had some shrimp tostadas, tikik fish and some shrimps with a green sauce that were just perfect, a very contemporary look to some traditional cuisine from the Mexican peninsula. The staff was super nice, kind and super quick. The food was served super quick and with an amazing flavor. It's an amazing place to eat. I'll be going back, for sure.

We came here specifically because we saw reviews that said that they are aware of gluten and gluten free, but when we ordered our dishes, specifically asked for gluten free, the waitress gave us 1 dish that contains gluten! Half way through eating, another waitress brought more tacos, when we asked about no gluten (only corn tacos) she said they are gluten free but one dish contains gluten (all this took several minutes while the rest of the food got cold) We got angry and explained them how bad it is, but they eventually replaced the bad dish but still charged us for the new dish and the cold food. It was a very bad experience and I suggest people that eat gluten free to stay away from here

This spot is on the most beautiful street in playa del Carmen! The ambiance, the nature, the service and food! Veronica at the front was super sweet and showed me where raccoons are! I saw 4! The vegan ceviche was amazing! Luis my server super nice! Highly recommend! More on my blog & videos
Great place for lunch. Great place for dinner. Nestled in the forest on 38th St., between fifth and first literally a half block from the beach. Great service great food.

Amate 38 scenery is beautiful! The ambience is wonderful and there’s a cute little koi fish pond!!! The service is 10/10!!! Everyone who helped me was wonderful. My server was amazing..I asked for her name but I forgot it. She was great and super attentive. I started off with a maracuya mojito. The mojito was made perfectly and so refreshing on a hot day. For my meal I got the Poc Chuc which is a pork loin dish. The dish comes with a side of beans, avocado, and tortillas. The pork was seasoned perfectly. If you want a little kick you can always add some salsa to it. They give you 3 different kinds of salsa..mild, medium, and hot. I really enjoyed mixing the medium and hot salsa together and putting it on my pork loin. I also got the valladolid sausage. This sausage had a mild spice to it and the flavors were great!!! I didn’t expect to like the sausage so much. I ended up mixing the pork and the sausage together and made myself some pork and sausage tacos!!! YUMMY!!! I highly recommend both dishes if you come to Amate 38 for lunch. They have a different menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I will be back to try other dishes soon!!!

Wow! I’m a tough food critic and this place was fantastic. Top-notch service, beautiful decor, but the star was the food. Not your typical Mexican menu - Mayan food from the region, but done with solid technique and flavorful flair. It was a breath of fresh air at the end of our week in Quintana Roo.

Always a great dining experience. We come here every time we visit playa and it never disappoints. I had the fish and it was beyond flavorful and delish. The service is also amazing!

The worst place I have rented in Playa.The internet during the day worked fairly well, but as soon as everyone arrived in the afternoon, not a single WhatsApp came out. The first night I found BEDBUGS in the bed. They said they were going to fumigate, but since all the furniture was made of wood, that wasn't going to help. I decided I didn't want to move there and the thief owner refused to give me my deposit even though I only stayed one night.Worst place I've rented at in Playa.The Internet worked moderately okay during the day, but as soon as everyone arrived at their studios in the evening it got so bad that not even a WhatsApp message could be sent out.The first night I found BEDBUGS. They said they would spray to get rid of them, but all furniture is made of wood, so they would have done nothing. I decided I didn't want to move there anymore and the thief owner refused to give me my deposit back even when I stayed only one night.
