We really enjoyed our experience from the appetizer to the dessert. We both ordered margaritas which were very good and were delivered stacked on the server's head. My wife ordered the rib-eye steak and I got the chicken enchiladas. Her steak was cooked the way she ordered it and was tasted excellent. My enchiladas were delicious as well. We topped off the meal with the tres leches cake, yum. The service was prompt, efficient, and friendly. Overall a great experience and we will be back.This is such an amazing review!

This was my families 4th year in a row to Playa Del Carmen where we eat lunch at Coco's a few times during each visit. It's a quaint little place situated off the beach, which is perfect for a nice quiet lunch. You are always greeted with a smile and feel instantly welcome. This year, we had Rana as our server for all 3 of our visits. He was very friendly and we enjoyed talking to him. The food and drink is top notch. We always start with either a mojito or the Silvia Margarita. Both are crafted with the freshest ingredients and are delicious. This year, we went back to the reliable coconut shrimp, which is crispy and cooked perfectly. We also tried the spicy garlic shrimp, which was amazing. Served with bread, so nice to dip in the spicy sauce. Entrees, we always get the Mariner pizza (shrimp & mushrooms) since it's always spot on very enjoyable. This year, tried the fresh grilled octopus that was nicely crispy from the grill, but also very tender that it almost melted in your mouth. I've yet to have a bad meal here. If you are in Playa Del Carmen and looking for a place with great food and even better staff, Coco's is the place to go. We'll be back next year for sure.Thank you so much! We really appreciate your review, we are so happy to hear that you enjoy our food! We hope to see you again on your next trip!René will be glad to hear that you appreciate his service! Greetings from the Coco's Cabañas tema!

It was four years since our previous visit to Playa and our anniversary dinner at The Grill, and the restaurant remains a first-class choice for magnificent dinners. We ate there twice on this occasion, and had wonderful experiences on both nights.Rogelio was our server, and it was a fun reunion since we remembered each other from our visit in 2015. He is a master at pacing the meal and providing inconspicuously attentive service. His food suggestions were on-target, and he spiced things up with a couple of tasting samples for future reference.We had steak and seafood meals, and all were beautifully prepared and tasty. Filets, prawns, and crab cakes were top-shelf, as also were the side dishes.Our desserts were unusually beautiful and tasty - works of art that were almost too nice to eat (but we devoured them anyhow).I'll wrap up by saying that we eat out most nights, and have a good perspective on how the best restaurants measure up on both food and service. The Grill at 1-26 can hold their own when compared to any of them.Highly recommended.Dear phydeaudeauxFirst of all, thank you for taking the time to write a review about the restaurant.It is a pleasure for us knowing that your experience was so pleasant in every way.I will personally make sure that Rogelio and our culinary team are aware of your kind words.We hope to count on your presence again to continue surprising you!KindlyKaren Rocha Restaurant Manager

My husband and I along with our friends visited this restaurant last Monday after reading the reviews on Trip advisor and we were not disappointed. The husband and wife team who own this restaurant were so friendly and made us feel so welcome. The steaks we ordered were fantastic and the Tiramisu was the best we had tasted outside of Italy. My friend and I ordered a G&T and it was made (with all the trimmings) at our table, just delicious. I wish we could have visited again before coming home but unfortunately we didn't get the chance. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting playa del Carmen

We have been vactioning in PDC for over 30 years and usually eat at local restaurants when not staying at an all-inclusive.I chose Oh Lala because it was my wife's 65th birthday.We started with the mussels and scallop appetizers and a Spanish red wine(aerates would have been nicer since the wine was young and needed at least an hour to open up)Main course were the rack of lamb and filet mignon,we are not big eaters at all,so took the left overs to the condo and had it for lunch.It was the best meal we ever ate in PDC and the service was impeccable.A delicious dessert was served compliment of the chef with a Happy 65th written on the plate.I have to add this is a very expensive restaurant compared to in any big city,so i think the prices are a bit high since i am sure the rent is nothing compared to NYC etc.I have no regrets about my visit,so if you can afford a meal there,go right ahead.

As a curry lover, and having found an Indian restaurant in Playa del carmen, thought we were in for a treat. Sadly not.Itâs plus point; air conditioning, so the experience was very comfortable.Atmosphere was dead (we were the only people in the restaurant, but there until 9.30pm) Service was over attentive, but understandable as we were the only people there. In terms of food, starters were ok, we had samosas. We had three each - which were nice but too filling.Curries - my advice to the owners is get your labelling right (or your cooks to meet the description) There were four main curries (we tried three)Tikka masala - which wasnât chicken tikka masala (the sauce was maybe an attempt to achieve that, the chicken was a plain breast) but it was too hot and way too salty.Goan - which was creamy, and sweet described as mild. Lamb cook well it must be said.Vindaloo - not at all hot, not even madras hot and very salty. My observation here is that at an attempt at a high class establishment why advertise a vindaloo (when most curry eaters would avoid a vindaloo) Madras would have been a better description , even then it didnât hit the mark.All the chicken curries came with three massive pieces of chicken (I can only think they were trying to be generous) Rated 11 on tripadvisor - this was poor, and possibly the worst curry I have had gone or abroad. I can see they are trying, but they would do well to find a real Indian chef.We thank you for your constructive criticism Coxyjs, since it is part of the philosophy that we seek every day in It Guilty, take into account the comments of all our customers to always improve.We hope you visit us again and completely change your opinion.Your friends from It Guilty wishes you an excellent day.
