Izsla Playa del Carmen
Av. 10 Norte, Calle 8 Nte y, Centro, 77710 Playa del Carmen, Q.R., Mexico

Club de la Cerveza
5 Av. Norte entre calles 34 y 38 Norte Xaman-Ha, 77710 Playa del Carmen, Q.R., Mexico

Note: One of the large collections of beers in Playa. Ask for Andy. She’ll take care of you.

Oh lala – International Cuisine by George
Calle 14 Nte Bis 147-MZA 147, Centro, 77710 Playa del Carmen, Q.R., Mexico

Note: The fanciest dinner that I had in Playa. Every dish was amazing. The atmosphere was great. Tucked away off one of the main streets.

Los Aguachiles
Calle 34 Nte Centro, Gonzalo Guerrero, 77710 Playa del Carmen, Q.R., Mexico

Note: The seafood is good but not every dish is a smash hit.

Cervecería Chapultepec
10 Avenida Nte. 10, Gonzalo Guerrero, 77720 Playa del Carmen, Q.R., Mexico

Note: This place is great if you want don’t want to break the bank. All drinks and food are affectively $1. You get what you pay for.

La Perla Pixan
Calle 38 Norte Entre 5ta y la playa, Gonzalo Guerrero, 77720 Playa del Carmen, Q.R., Mexico

This place was listed as a must visit because of the grasshoppers and the ancient drink Pulque. Outside of the grasshopper experience, you can skip this place. It’s in the main thirsty area and you’ll ultimately pay more for less satisfaction.
