The other day somebody suggested we have lunch at one of the strip clubs here in town to see if they were worth going to. Strip clubs are always at least an interesting experience, so I decided to take the challenge on. I asked around to see which gentleman’s club would be best for lunch, [...]
A couple of friends introduced us to Makkeroni several months ago and it almost instantly became a regular weekly dinner spot for us. It’s pretty conveniently located (for us) on 4th Street between 10th and 15th Avenues, across from Hotel Barrio Latino.
The place doesn’t look like much, in fact, we had walked by it possibly [...]
Based on a suggestion the other day on Allie’s blog, I dragged Hans and Allie out to La Floresta last week to try shrimp tacos and more at La Floresta. I have been to this popular local spot before and I knew I would enjoy it, but I didn’t want to keep the place to [...]
When I read in the guide books that Playa del Carmen was famous for their Italian food I thought it had to be a joke. Good Italian food in Mexico? Sometimes you just have to trust that the guide books know what they’re talking about, and on this point, they do. There are lots of [...]
This restaurant isn’t located exactly in Playa, it’s about 20 or so minutes south of Playa on a beach called Xpu Ha. I go there every now and then to enjoy the calm cove and the wonderful service at the beach club. An extra plus is that the food is always good. So, I figured [...]
Just past Starbucks you will find a locally-owned coffee shop called Café Corazón. I have take Spanish lessons here and hung out for coffees, but it wasn’t until recently that I finally stopped in for breakfast. They have lots of things on the menu, from my regular favorite: fruit with yogurt and granola, to eggs, [...]
Tonight we stopped by Gaia on Calle 28 and Ave 5. It’s a Mediterranean sports bar, but it’s really better than it sounds. You’ll know the place when you reach the restaurant with the flat screen TVs and the hookahs!
There are real tables and there are smaller, sort of coffee table-sized, tables. You get to [...]
Hans and I went for lunch today at Hot Dogs Pancho Villa, we were both running errands downtown and I had been wanting to try this place. We easily found a parking space on Constituyentes right in front of the restaurant and walked over, where we were quickly greeted by a young guy that [...]
Good sushi is something near and dear to my heart. When I lived in the US we would go for sushi two or three times a week. Luckily, we had an excellent sushi restaurant right in our hometown, so it was easy. Since we arrived in Playa del Carmen, we have been looking for good [...]
This Southern Girl has been dying to try a Mexican interpretation of a biscuit since she got here. Luckily for me, that’s where Solomon and Hans wanted to go for breakfast this morning. I bagged yoga class in favor of lard and flour, I mean, who wouldn’t?
One of the best parts about Los Bisquets Bisquets [...]
