La Casa de los Antojos — Restaurant in Playa del Carmen

What a treat it was to stumble up on La Casa de los Antojos. I’m in Playa del Carmen vacationing and have been trying all sorts of restaurants. Most have been good. Some not so much. La Casa de los Antojos is my favorite place so far. The banana leaf and corn husk tamales are so tasty! So flavorful that my taste buds were dancing. I ordered the chilaquiles con huevos and they were so good. The sauce was tasty, the eggs were cooked perfectly. The chips were the way they’re supposed to be, crunchy while moist with the green sauce they use. The salsas they brought out (green and red) were equally good. The one thing that didn’t reach the same high level of taste was the gorditas de chicharrón. They/the meat and sauce combos inside was a little dry. The staff was very helpful and accommodating.

Overall, do yourself a favor and check this place out. They said they’ve been open for about three months. The reviews on this place are very reflective of the food. Que comida...

Ate here on a quiet Monday with my two teens. Was trying to avoid places on 5th, where prices are high and food is inauthentic. This place was excellent! Everything we ordered was fresh, seasoned perfectly. The enfrijoladas were delicious. Guac was fresh with lime and a very generous amount so we took the rest back to the room. The street tacos were great as well. Drinks- coke, bottled water, and a beer were ice cold and just what we needed. I knocked one star off bc the chips were a little stale, but really we didn't care. Our server Alexis was so sweet and attentive and the price was excellent for all we enjoyed. After dinner my daughter said she wanted to...

Update: have been a few more times since our original visits and unfortunately had not been the same. Visited the other night and they were out of many things. The food we did get didn't treat taste good or fresh. Chicken in the tacos was dry and chewy, gorditas chicharones old and chewy. My husband has been I'll since dining there, which is a first since being here.

Visited twice during our PDC visit. I really like the gorditas and platanos. Reasonably priced. Servers are friendly...
