I am telling you all....6peso ice cream at BK....Good fries too....

For s&g we checked out a Johnny Rockets menu when the kids wanted burgers...It would have been $15 just for Nick to get a burger, fries & a drink...Burger King it was!

Imagine that comparison with a vacationing family of 4 from Merida on a 3000 peso a week income, and you will see that BK is not only for cruise ship patrons.

That's right...or even a local family who is out for the evening.

That's good info, TG. 6 peso ice cream is even a better deal than 12 peso Coronas at Two Dollar Drinks.

The next time we go to Quintana Roo, we are going with the girl in my avatar and her little brother. I was thinking about a condo in Playa or Playa. But Playa it will be for us.

You can buy a lot of quiet with 6 peso ice cream & BK french fries.

A great point! It was not just tourists in there while I was there...

It is also very clean & the people working were very friendly & looked like they were having a good time.....ie laughing & joking...

And yes when you have small children along they will only humor your taste for Mexican food for so long until they want a darn hamburger!

Hate to break this to you, pal.....but I think that place is now some sort of "bistro", or so I seem to recall reading a couple of weeks ago. Too bad, their burger was worthy. Fries were no Hell though.

Not a big loss. I just use to stop by for a snack while going back and forth from the beach.

Hi there, can't wait to set foot in the sand of beautiful Playa, I care not if there is a Starbucks however I do know that one of our party will love it! Hey JMAC, 22 days!! Are you ready to be stuck with us crazy sexy cool chicks?

jmac · 01-17-2007

You know I am girl, she said she'd leave the Starbuck's alone & try the local coffees, my guess is, we'll be there at LEAST once. I'm probably in for BK ice cream too, sorry, my budget can't handle $8 Haagen Daaz (& it's not always that great)

Kogia · 01-17-2007

I am a Starbucks girl here, but as long as Babe's has mojitos, Starbucks in Playa is safe from me!!

KSSIL · 01-17-2007

I was in Playa last week and found it hard to find a GREAT cup of coffee. Tried them all Java Joes, Hot Baking Co., Ah Cacoa (however you spell it) and still no great coffee. I did then try Starbuck's and have to admit best one I had in 8 days! I told myself I would not stop in there but I caved in. I was walking down fifth last week and I am 99.9% sure I spotted a pretty famous chef drinking a cup of Starbucks at 8 in the morning! It was pretty cool!

Coccinelle · 01-17-2007

I am not embarassed to say that I will be visiting Starbucks while in Playa.

I always grind some beans to take to Playa with me. I absolutely need my fix as soon as I get out of bed! I too, am not too crazy about the coffee in Mexico, hubby really likes it though. Having said this, Cafe Corazon's is pretty good (and potent!) and my next choice is Java Joe's. I like a strong cuppa.
