50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Playa Del Carmen

“Small seafood place.
Excellent atention.

The dishes are similar to those served in Sinaloa.

I ordered a large mixed ceviche.

Good portion. Everything is super fresh and the sauce is very good, very good.

I recommend them with 5 stars.“

“Gabriel y Víctor- súper profesionales, atentos, lindos. La comida superó nuestras expectativas. El vino de la casa también. Que buena ubicación además. Fue mi cumpleaños y me dieron pastelito y vino espumoso y cantaron las mañanitas. Que más podrías pedir?“

“It is an excellent place to enjoy fresh and delicious food, the attention from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave is excellent.
I really liked the attention of the waiter Irving, very attentive at all times for any request and the food was very good.“

“Rave reviews so my wife and I decided to give it a try and our expectations were truly exceeded. From the outside ok but probably a restaurant we would have walked past if not looked up first in the internet. Great, very attentive service! We had a Pina as a cocktail to start with (great - with fresh grated coconut). Starters were Octopus Causa and Seafood Ceviche (we ordered two in fact ;-)) ... As a main Seafood Rice (truly amazing), we shared all ;-) - together with a good Sauvignon Blanc followed by another Pina and two desserts, Choclo Cake and a tart. Given the quality and quantity of the dishes, the bill was more than reasonable! We might be back next week :-) - well done - honestly deserves the rave reviews“

“Phenomenal experience here. Drinks and food that will leave you feeling like you've made contact with a completely next level chef and mixologist but at incredibly reasonable prices. I had the pleasure of being served by the owner himself. Torn between menu items, I was eager to pick his brain on recommendations and he was patient and kind enough to give me feedback that I graciously accepted. I ordered the Mayan Ceviche with a custom alteration on one of the listed cocktails, each of which were exceptional. Great service, wonderful aesthetic inside.. Planning to go again and sample much more on the menu, I don't think you could go wrong with anything, and I cannot possibly recommend this location more highly.“

“When I tell you the service was stellar, the food is delectable, the atmosphere is like a movie, they’re so accommodating, and the bathrooms are so clean that you feel safe there. Like if something fell on the floor, it would be just fine.“

“We enjoyed breakfast and lunch at the Azul restaurant throughout our stay. ABSOLUTELY beautiful views of the ocean, amazing food and the best breakfast juices. The staff were wonderful, kind and professional at all times and the music was fabulous.“

“Tiny place with great decor and attentive service. I wanted to like the tuna burger because it looked amazing at first but it was a disaster. Don’t get it unless they change it to fix the problems. Other dishes looked good.

The tuna is not a burger paddy it’s literally several pieces of tuna steaks which tasted amazing on their own but because they’re thick tuna pieces half of it falls out. The worst part is this burger is too watery. The bread is literally soaked.

To the owner: the burger would’ve tasted great with just good toasted buttered bun and the tuna steak, maybe light mayo or something. Instead it was piled with a salad. The bottom bun could not be eaten at all. This made the burger not satisfying at all. You really should consider making paddies by chopping up the tuna and mixing it with something so they don’t fall off easily.

The tuna steak itself is an amazing dish on its own.“

“We had such a lovely dinner here tonight. Our server, Benji, went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience. He really made us feel welcome, and made It truly memorable. The calamari, raw oysters, and jumbo shrimp were phenomenal! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for fresh seafood in the area.“

“Amazing food!! Highly recommend the fajitas! Good flavor & fresh food! The experience was amazing! A guy came up and told us about a fishing experience while we were eating lunch, which we went on, the restaurant cooked the fish we caught for dinner, but we had to pay extra to eat it. Highly recommend best fish I’ve ever had, same with the fajitas! The drinks went the best, but everything else was amazing! (I don’t recommend the popcorn shrimp appetizer, it was a little hard & chewy). Strawberry margarita was one of the worst.

The guys cutting the fish, came & gave us a fresh plate of ceviche while we were eating lunch for the fish they just caught too! Highly recommend place!“

“Soraya and Tony were the best waiters serving us, friendly and with an excellent attitude, they know the menu very well since they recommended delicious things to us like the tacos zarandeados with grilled octopus

Kid-friendliness: It is a place where children can eat very nutritious, with portions for them and above all delicious“

“The best service of all, they are a great team, especially Mr. Sergio, they do everything they want in the world and you can tell they love their work. Very happy, everything is delicious, thank you ?we will be back

Kid-friendliness: They very kindly lent us special glasses and plates for babies and children ? very attentive to everyone's needs“

“Let it be very clear that there is no good seafood in the Caribbean.
But this place is the best, super quality-price!
At lunch time there are always people, they arrive with about a 25 minute wait.
The service is a little slow, since there are always many people.
They entertain with live music.“

“This is a gem, when those aromas of fresh and top quality products entered, being prepared by talented hands, when my dish arrived I could feel the love with which it was cooked.

They have their fresh seafood on display there, and everything is prepared to order.

The treatment from the team was excellent, what a beautiful experience, I will definitely return.

I can't say enough words, everything is perfect, clean, a place free of "pretensions" is like eating with family. It is, for me, the best restaurant I have ever been to in my entire life.“

“The tuna toasts are the tastiest thing I've had in all of Playa del Carmen, BEEEEERO, only when the grouper prepares them 10/10, there is a man who when he is in charge of the ceviches his seasoning is unique, when he prepares a chavito My toast, the result is not what I expect, a 7/10.
The waiters' service is ok, the girl is a little distracted, the handsome guy is too serious, the best one is the one with the painted hair, that cool guy is lively and helpful. I always recommend them under certain reservations. I hope they consider that only the man prepares the ceviches and toasts.“

“I haven't been to this restaurant in a while. I had never gone during the day. Is the most! I thought that during the day it wouldn't have the same impression and it looks beautiful and super illuminated. To begin with, the chairs are very comfortable, which means I can stay there for a long time. Very good service and incredible food. We ordered the filet mignon with risotto, the rib eye and some ravioli in the center. There was nothing left. The prices are fair. I hope they continue with that quality!!“

“It had been some time since I had been to this location, but, it was so good, I was prompted to write. Had 2 hours available while phone was repaired. Ran in for an aguachile, cold beers, fish and shrimp tacos. On the table assorted toppings/mayonnaises. The aguachile was perfect. The corn tortillas were handmade. The service was EXCELLENT. There were various ladies that served us, all extremely attentive and friendly. Price is inexpensive/fair. No a/c, but fans blowing air. Reminiscent of the old Playa, where you can sit under a palapa with friendly service.“

“Toasts are the best, I crave them super often ?. The ones I always order are the octopus with tamarind and mixed mango that has a little bit of everything. Price quality seems very good to me.

One of the times I went, the tortilla chips had sauce so I felt like they were recycled from a table that was there before and I found it a little unpleasant.

It is hot because it is an open place with fans so I recommend going at night.

The 4 toasts, 2 beers and a lemonade were almost $500 mxn. It wasn't bad and its location is very good since they are on 38th and almost 5th.

I've been back several times and it's really great.“

“Great place to get a bite to eat with fresh seafood and great prices. Some English spoken. We chose some shrimps and a whole fish and paid an extra 20 pesos to have it cooked for us. $45CAD (500 pesos) for 1 kilo of large shrimp and a whole fish - both cooked right in front of us. The same fish alone near 5th Avenue was 700+ pesos. You do the math...“

“Just go and ask for the paquete. 11 course, non disappointment. Trust me, for as much as you can, listening from someone on the internet, this place is worth every bite. Think of it as the movie the menu without the ending.. Keep in mind that there is no menu to look at, and it doesn't look like a restaurant from outside. Keep an open and adventurous mind and s earch for this place like a valued treasure, and you will not be disappointed.“

“There’s not a lot of seafood places in PDC and the popular ones are either pricey or not as tasty. Now this place is the opposite super tasty, big portions and very good food. Arroz a la tumbada their version of paella or arroz marinero . Delicious !“

“Delicious food, incredible ceviche... Totally recommended on your visit to Playa del Carmen. Leave 5a to discover this restaurant with good seafood.

Wheelchair accessibility: Although the streets are not very comfortable, the restaurant has good access.“

“Excellent service and quality, variety of super delicious toasts, prices are reasonable. The place is very well located on 5th avenue.
I definitely recommend it, you can't go to the beach without trying the tuna toast, it was my favorite.“

“The truth is that the food didn't make me say wow I need to go back, but I must admit that the service is very fast, so if you are hungry it is a good place to get rid of hunger immediately.

Vegetarian options: Not suitable for vegetarians or vegans“

“Wonderful place, the food at the Adelitas restaurant is very good, the staff's attention is excellent, the garrotero Francisco is first class, the entertainment staff is wonderful.
Just one detail is the transportation to the beach, the lack of civic education of tourism from the supposed first world is chaotic and regrettable and in the white party they should send more transportation.
I didn't like the food they prepare at the Mexican restaurant.
I realized that there are no waiters,“

“A nice place, good atmosphere, the staff is very attentive and friendly, at the beginning they explain the menu to you and give you a fish broth, the dishes are well served and of good seasoning, the place is clean, it has 6 tables downstairs and one Large second level palapa, there is free parking on the street.Prices are between 100-300It does not have access for the disabled.

Parking: Enough space on the street

Wheelchair accessibility: There is no ramp for the disabled“

“Very good place, good parking, good service, very delicious food and the atmosphere is good.

Parking: It has plenty of space and area to park the car.

Kid-friendliness: There was a part for children's food.“

“The food was very delicious and the portions were large. The prices are quite affordable. I leave 3 stars for the service because the waitress who served us, despite not being rude, seemed grumpy or fed up. Furthermore, when she charged me, she did not offer me my ticket and I had to ask her to give it to me, to which she replied that I should give her my email to send it to me, but she never asked me if I wanted my proof of payment or not.“

“The service was very very good, the appetizer of tuna and salmon tartare was delicious, as well as the main course, I recommend the one that comes with beef fillet with mashed potatoes and mushrooms,

Vegetarian options: they have salads

Wheelchair accessibility: They have ramp and good space

Dietary restrictions: Most options are healthy and very low in carbohydrates“

“Except that I ordered a mezcalita and the waiter brought me a glass of mezcal, and insisted that the mezcalita was copeo. In the end we showed him a photo of the mezcal and he said ahh I understood a mezcal from his daughters (that was the copeo) and well we ended up paying for something we didn't order because he didn't want to change it.“

“I go here all the time, I mean a lot. I freaking love this place.

Living here I meet a lot of tourist and locals and I have recommended this place to everyone. Every single one of them have said I was right, the food is amazing!

I have a good friend who lives here too and we constantly are looking for the best pizza in Playa, he kept telling me of another place and I told him he needs to try Trattoria. He finally did and said I was right their bread, their sauce, etc. for their pizza is the best he's had.

I've had about everything on the menu plus whatever special, everything it great. Freshly made, etc. Whatever your go to Italian dish is, go here, you'll love it.“

“This was our second time at Oh La La! Once again we were amazed by the phenomenal quality of food and service. Our server Alex was highly knowledgeable and friendly, and made our dinner a wonderful experience. I said it in my review from last year, this restaurant is by far the classiest, best curated, and delicious restaurant in not only Playa del Carmen but the entire Quintana Roo region. A must go to in PDC, 10/10 ⭐️“

“The food was good and the service was too. We came several months ago and it was spectacular we were in for lunch this time and dinner last. The first experience was spectacular (5 ?) and that is why we came back. I'm not sure why it was not phenomenal this time, but give it a chance. July 2024.“

“Excellent service and attention, everything very fast and the food, I don't even know how to say it, is delicious. Without a doubt a recommended place and to return, good prices and well-served dishes, something that many lack. Congratulations to the captain in red (José Luis) for his attention, definitely very attentive and super helpful. a place recommended to ?“

“I give 5 stars to this restaurant, the truth is that I felt comfortable with the atmosphere and not only that, the attention of the waiters is excellent, and let's not leave behind the food, the shrimp and snail ceviche was very delicious with a very good finish of the palate .....I recommend the place to be in that calm and cozy atmosphere“

“The mixed toast was 10 out of 10.

The shrimp and crab cream was delicious.

I expected a different flavor for the shrimp with tamarind, the garlic predominated and not the tamarind. Still they were tasty.“

“Super accessible, excellent dishes from 95 pesos, incredible but true, also delicious, everything super fresh

Vegetarian options: there is

Kid-friendliness: there is

Wheelchair accessibility: there is“

“Highly RECOMMENDED, the beans they give you as a starter are very delicious, they reminded me of the seasoning of my beloved Brazil?? ? I don't give them the 5 stars because they didn't have fish to fry and I ordered the garlic mojo and I don't know if it's because of the type of fish but it tasted bitter! I'll tell you if it hurt me or not?? maybe it's the type of fish! But regarding aguachile, it is DELICIOUS and very spicy! The atmosphere is pleasant but always very full, I don't recommend going exactly at lunch time because they will always have a huge line and the service, although it is very agile, takes time to serve. There is no air conditioning, only fans, I recommend sitting near windows or doors so that the air can flow.“

“This is the absolute best place in Playa Del Carmen for fried fish hands down!! Please make your way here!! You will not regret it! The fish is seasoned to perfection, light and crispy! I can't wait to return! Thank for the great food and service!“

“If you are looking for something rich, the place is perfect, if we talk about prices it is something incredible since they are very accessible because really everything is quality, the attention is great, the attitude of the staff is incredible, they do their job with pleasure, they play pleasant music that makes you want to dance there... If I return soon

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, there is“

“Very good typical Mexican cuisine
Very friendly servers.
Guacamole as an aperitif went well.
I took away a star because the decor is super "light" if not absent.
But that didn't stop us from having fun.
A tuna tartare and shrimps with mango sauce. Excellent but remember to ask not spicy because it stings a lot ?“

“This place is so unique, it's in the middle of nature and is such a great location for a meal.Get there early as it gets busy and the lineup is pretty long.

The food was actually very fresh and tasted amazing, there's so many options and it caters to most dietary preferences. Service was also very speedy and kind

I'll definitely be coming back!

Vegetarian options: Yes

Dietary restrictions: Many options“

“The food and service were 10. We ordered an octopus cocktail and it was one of the best I have eaten in Playa, whiting and a mixed ceviche.It needs more atmosphere and with the heat it has been lately they need some large fans to cool it down a bit.“

“Very tasty food. The establishment has no pretensions to the atmosphere, but here the cooking style is open and you can see how your dish is prepared. Everything is clean, tidy, respectful to guests.The staff is friendly and helpful.The best Ceviche I've tried in Playa and Tulum. A small portion is a fairly large plate of seafood marinated to perfection in lime. I think that the portion of "Lage" is at least for two.Delicious tacos and hot dishes.Ideal place with typical Mexican cuisine, cleanliness and friendly staff.“

“I am Jamaican, and this joint is amazing ??????. I give them 12 out of 10. The ambiance, music, and the Rockaz team were top-notch. The meals were authentic and amazing. My wife, teenage daughter, son, and I all enjoyed every item served. We had Oxtail (that was delicious), grilled shrimp, the Rasta Pasta, and barbeque honey wings. Food was served quickly and everything at the right temperature. Listen, everything was perfect. I had no shame in licking my fingers. Big shout out to Danny the Dancer, the wait staff, and the rest of the team. Marvin, yuh done know seh you a the baaaaadest Jamaican chef in Mexico.“

“El Oasis was a nice local seafood restaurant about 150 pesos taxi ride from 5th Avenue in Playa Del Carmen. Our waiter didn’t speak English, but he brought us tablets with the menus in English. I ordered marlin empanadas and paella. Both were excellent!“

“The place is very nice, quite fresh, very beautiful, the service is one of the best, the staff is quite pleasant and very friendly by the way, the food is quite tasty we always return to this place because the food is delicious, personally I am not a fan of seafood But my partner, who is Jarocha, still loves the food. They are highly recommended. In terms of prices, let's say it is a little high, but what seafood restaurant is cheap? Quite regular, the prices are not exaggerated, very reasonable, it gets 5 stars because it is one of the best places in Playa del Carmen! Not even in the country house do you find seafood as delicious as here!!“

“Aug 2024 update. Review lowered from 5-stars to 3. Can only order tacos by threes and are $180 pesos and they are now quite small. Tasty but expensive. Limonada was good but $60/each. Overall, two people - three tacos and one limonada each and the check was $520 pesos ($30 USD). My biggest gripe is a service charge was automatically added (which I believe is illegal in Mexico) so beware and check your bill carefully. Only good news is the service charge was less than I would have tipped. Will not return. Also, back of restaurant where most of the tables are is dang hot.“

“Au bout de 4 jours a playa del carmen, quel bonheur de découvrir ce restaurant !

L’accueil est très agréable, le cadre charmant, bonne ambiance, bonne musique, équipe au petit soin et cool.

Quant à la cuisine… woooow !
J’ai suivi les conseils du serveur et je n’ai clairement pas été déçu..
À deux doigts de recommander une deuxième assiette tellement c’était bon !
Mais c’était suffisamment copieux.
Je recommande vivement !
Merci pour ce moment ?“
