El Sabor de Los Ortegas — Restaurant in Playa del Carmen

Oh my goodness… Wow! Wow! Wow! I just met Alfredo for the first time as a recommendation from the one and only Rope monster… WOW This place did not disappoint… I tried a burrito mixed with steak chicken avocado cheese, some garlic sauce and it was first bite magic 100%… I finally understand what the rope monster was talking about !! And Alfredo is such a nice polite person who was so welcoming and help me out. I was gonna try the rope monster special… But I was feeling more like beef and chicken… I will be back tomorrow it was that freaking good maybe I’ll try the rope monster special either way if you’re in the area I highly suggest you try and go meet Alfredo. You will not be disappointed… Thank you very much.! Muchas Gracias Alfredo. Ese burrito estaba absolutamente fantástico… Todavía se me hace agua la boca y estoy...

I don't know why everyone doesn't make burritos this good. Easily the best burritos ever and we've eaten at a lot of places. Its so good, its surprising. My first bite and I knew this was a special burrito, even the tortilla has some kind of great flavor to it. I was so sad when I saw I was almost done. My wife also kept thinking about the burrito afterwards. We are already planning to go back tomorrow! It was pretty hot inside as they don't have AC since its an open small shop so be ready for that on a hot day. Their hours are not listed correctly. Walked all the way there on Sunday night at 730pm and they were closed 😞. Not good and is bad for business. Would remove a star for this but will give them a chance to update...

Hidden gem small family restaurant with local Mexican dishes in a peaceful but central street just next to the busy 5th Avenue. AMAZING food for great prices, very nice lady (with beautiful eyes!). It doesn't really look good from the outside first but don't let it fool you, everything we tried tasted absolutely delicious (beef burrito, beef birria, pastor, chorizo and campechanos (mixed meat) tacos). The pastor meat was the best I had in 2 weeks in Mexico! They have even made me an extra side salad when I asked for it, even if it wasn't on the menu. We paid about 450 pesos for a lot of food (2 hungry person). Don't buy a touristy burger in the 5th Avenue, come here and try real Mexican food in this nice...
