La Taqueria - Pinches Tacos Shop — Restaurant in Playa del Carmen

I and my family came here last night, with full of good wishes and big appetite, can't wait for a second to eat these high recommended Tacos, but really made us very upset and felt bad.

First of all, we ordered a dozen of 12 seafood mix tacos, a margarita and lemonade kiwi juice, the food came about 20 minutes later, not warm, just room temperature, half of the wraps were torn, lack of real seafood, every one was stuffed with raw purple cabbage and a tiny piece of octopus, fish or shrimp. the fish is not newly cooked and shrimp is not taken back open which means the dirt is still inside. Drinks not very tasteful, just regular alcohol with some BIG iceball.

Secondly, the service is no service, just wrote down what we ordered, no interaction during the whole dinner, waitresses don't understand English.

Last and the worst, I was running into the bathroom as soon as I almost got home due to a can't wait poop.

really made me exhausted, post here to avoid others be cheated. 100% sure the chef and owner are not local Mexican people.

Edited 5 days later, as I watched those high recommendations with 5 stars are most from local tour guide, they are might be paid for their...

This little place is just off the beaten path of 5th Ave. We ended up staying nearby and lucked out with being so close to this place! Smoothies are fresh and taste delicious! The cocktails are all handcrafted (I highly recommend their house drinks) and are served stiff without blowing out the rest of the drink. If you are REALLY hungry, or want to share, they have an awesome selection of 12 tacos in either mixed meat, mixed seafood, or veggies. And DANG are they packed. We love this place and have returned since and will be back again! The staff is friendly and easy to communicate with. Prices are fair, and they are open late! Don't pass this place up! In Tacos...

First of all, they’re so welcoming and warm, i already knew it was a great sign, we’re avid travelers and foodies and this has been one of the best experiences in Mexico after many many trips on cruises and by plane to the mayan coast area. The drinks were 2x1 until 6 pm, and what we got was the most delicious mezcalitas I’ve ever tried. The food, amazing, the al pastor tacos were top 3 to me and their sauces and habanero were a bliss.

We trief pulpo, fish, arrachera and they were incredible and the best were Al Pastor which were their best sellers and the reason was, they’re really the best, in the playa area.

Thanks for having...
