I haven t seen a third one either, so until its proved, El Forgon is not a chain, so you CAN still eat there......

Hi Jez, there is a 3rd El Fogon on Constituyentes between 25 and 30. It's the place that used to be all the cartoon characters and the fake horse out front.

Okidoky, I haven´t eaten at neither of them, but I remember that Carboncitos didn´t look too touristy for me either.
I and just realized that the scannig left out the phone for them,
Carboncitos do Hotel delivery 873-1382 (minimum order 50 pesos). They are located on 4th street btw 5th & 10th below the Hotel Santa Barbara.

First: Very sad. El Fogon is a chain.

Second: Very cool. Carboncitos does hotel delivery! Gee, I hope I can come up with 50 pesos worth of stuff to order!!!

Given the looks of me and Rob both, I'll bet we could figure out how to meet that delivery quota... Its you "chica flaca" types that have to worry about a 50 peso delivery minimum! (damn celery munchers!) :p

By the way, in what neighborhood/area of town do y'all live?

Thats the day I arrive... I have a feeling the only beer we may be able to buy each other would be in the airport... I don't know when you're leaving, but I won't be in Playa until around just after lunch.
