Restaurante Las Brisas — Restaurant in Playa del Carmen

Our Indian dive master Sunil recommended this place to us and we enjoyed our lunch there. The homemade lemonade with less sugar was good, the grilled seafood platter with lobster came with rice and salad, a garlic dip and tortillas - quite complete. We liked that it was breezy and relatively quiet compared to the restaurants nearer to the beach. My only complaint is that they do not take credit card payment - fair enough- but when you pay the bill did not add up. For example, how did 640+120=850???

Yesterday, family joined us here in PDC … looking for a good fish place … they were blown away by the ceviche platter “ best they ever had” … we noticed the locals eat here and it gets busy but great food and good service are worth the wait. Margaritas are the best in town. Guacamole is amazing… hamburger and fries were even great ! Oh ! the prices are so reasonable and the red wine we ordered was...
