    Its a tipical Mexican tourist restuarant, but with a black cat and a Mayan coock. You can have a nice meal there but for a normal prize (like in Europe). We have been there several times, although just one time for a meal.
    The toilets are a bit durty. And i think it was first the restaurant of a Hotel (there is one next door, hotel that is) but maybe they are sepperate now, cause we were the only ones and it didnt look as if it was very bussy (ever).

    Favorite Dish: We had some local burritos and the men had a indian sate (chicken with peanutsause). Its was alright, but what i liked the most were the "dorito's" with the garlic dip....wow !

    Mc Donalds: What if you miss home?

    Its a bit a strange mac somparing to the ones we have at home. The diner taste different too, although Mac himself says that it should taste the same all over the world. Dont thy the touliets...and there is an awful smell of cimenon all over the place. We have found two Mc Donald restaurants in Playa del Carmen, there is one on a square near the beach and one near the ferry to Isla du Cozomel.

    Favorite Dish: We had an Big Meal, but had to pay for the drinks...a meal wasnt including the drinks.
    We were a little hungry so it was alright, but you better can go to a Mexican restaurant. Much better taste !!

    We didnt had a drink or meal here, but came across it while we are shopping and i thought of al you guys who maybe wanna go there too. Maybe its a Dutch guy, cause Jan is a really Dutch name... but we didnt get in to find out.

    Favorite Dish: As i said we didnt had a meal here, but as most of the places you can get the burritos and other real mexican things. Dont worry there is always something you like.

    The guys wanted to have something with a bite so they took the chicken in / with a peanutsauce. It didnt look for a bit like the chicken we serve in the Netherlands like that, but the guys told me it was great.

    I call these Doritos but there is an other name for them in the Mexican language (and in other languages too).
    There were about 4 sorts of cheese on them and there was a kind of warm sauce with it. But with sauce it was less nice.

    Favorite Dish: Dorito's with a lot of cheese. Be carefull getting this lunch cause you will be full till the next morning and have to skip diner !

     Hi, I am from Ciudad del Carmen, and as much as I would like it to look like playa del carmen, well it is not ; ( ... Playa de Carmen is in Quintana-Roo. glad you liked it there. ; )
    bigmutt Fri Oct 19, 2007 22:16 UTC
     I am confused; are you writing about Ciudad del Carmen (which is the heading and location of all your writings & photos) or Playa del Carmen? Playa is a very different place than Ciudad del Carmen.
