Nice place. Right on 5th Ave. in Playa del Carmen. Beer was cold and tacos were great but a little greasy.

Excellent service, excellent cocktails.

Superb atmosphere, delicious tacos, pizzas too. We loved it

I highly don’t recommend this place. My friend and I went there for lunch. We were offered a two for 1 drink special and that’s what got our attention. We ordered birra tacos , a short rib sandwich, a can of club soda and 1 drink special. Our server came back and we decided to pay with a card. He was not verbal with the total so I asked was the total he showed me with gratuity included or not. He shook his head yes. I asked again to make sure because I wanted to tip and I realized in Playa restaurants you have to add the tip first not after you run the card. So in US dollars our food was around $56 but with tip it was $71 and some change. The server charged my card in pesos for $1,406.70. I noticed it a few hours later but already left that area. That same night I returned to Patio 8 to speak with the man in charge who sat us and offered us the drink specials. He was not in the same welcoming mood after I stated I think it was a charge issue. He immediately said there is no way I was charged that amount and blamed me. It kept yelling “ IMPOSSIBLE!” I showed him my bank account and statement. He even saw the receipts and what we ordered. I also showed him charges from other extremely well known establishments in Tulum and Playa Del Carmen that I used my card in and how it was just a simple mistake of being charged by his employee in pesos and not US dollars. He didn’t want to hear it nor cared about any of my actual proof how it was a mistake on his end. He angrily rushed my friend out of his business. He got our money and didn’t care about anything else. It’s plenty of great places to eat at with delicious cocktails that aren’t water down on 5th Avenue that respect you and your dollars. Please chose them over here. As a person in the hospitality business this is not how you treat your customers.

The tuna toast, the tuna tiradito, the rib eye tacos, the flank steak and the truffle potatoes were what we tried and everything was delicious. Our favorites were the tuna tiradito, the flank steak salad and the truffled potatoes. To drink, we tried the mango mezcalita, the María Sabina, the mezcalito and the Cabernet wine and everything was very tasty. Very good service from Erik and his colleagues. They do a very good loom show, the atmosphere is also very good and it doesn't feel super crowded. The bathrooms very well

The wife and I had the Tacos , could have been larger portions, and one drink…$76. Expensive! The food was good and the drinks ok. The service was great…

excellent gin & tonics and pizza ?

Excellent food, ambiance and service. Drinks were delicious, so was the food. Pizza and burgers my favs and service was super friendly at the bar and the restaurant area. Edgar was super funny and friendly we kept asking for a table were he was working… btw ask him for a carajillo, you won’t regret it!

If you love martinis and Gin, this is the best place to go. Edgar and Filiberto (Phil) will be take care of you, really friendly staff. On weekends the have shows as well.

This place is great. Edgar, Claudia, Max, and Angel made us feel so welcome. We like to meet new people and they are like friends but also give great service.

Stopped in here while strolling through playa defo Carmen, watched some American football and had some (delicious) gin Angel was our barman and he was just fantastic, gave us the nicest gin and mixers can’t recommend him highly enough he was just amazing! Would recommend for a drink if you’re passing !

If I could I would give 0 stars! The drinks were bad and at the end they simply disguised 15% service on the bill as a tip without saying anything. By the way: the service was bad, we always had to make ourselves known, nobody came by and asked. Of course, if you tip at 15% on the bill anyway, you don't have to worry about how good your service is.
