Fav. NOT Playa del Carmen Eateries

tlegray · 04-17-2008

Looking for a list of your favorite not in Playa del Carmen restaurants. Especially looking in Akumal, Tulum beach, Tulum Pueblo, and possibly Puerto Morelos. They don't have to be on the beach nor do they have to be fancy.

John Gray's in Puerto Morelos, Turtle Bay Bakery for breakfast in Akumal, Zamas in Tulum (their spicy shrimp appetizer is delicious).

Definitely not fancy but great is Don cafetos in Tulum. Two locations, one on the beach (north of the "T") and one in the pueblo. Complimentary escabeche - pickled veggies - to die for.

Tulum pueblo:
1. El Mariachi- on the right heading south on 307, right in the middle of town.
2. Don Cafeto- right across the street from #1
3. El Tacoqueto- on the left on the south end of town

Akumal (beach side): the Loncheria (lunch counter next to Super Chomak) is excellent for lunch and dinner. Imelda's Ecocina next to the dive shop is great for lunch. Turtle Bay Bakery is excellent for every meal. La Cueva del Pescador is probably our favorite dinner spot. Down by Yal Ku, Que Onda is also great, homemade linguini made at least 10 different ways. It's a block from where we stay, so we love going there our first night when we're tired of driving/traveling. We did repeats of La Cueva and Que Onda last trip.

On the pueblo side, El Ultimo Maya is a great hole in the wall local place, right down the main street on the right. There are a couple of chicken places open midday, too. Didn't get there yet.

I have food pics in my trip report from several places.

People like Leo's Pizzeria in Chemuyil; we haven't been there yet. Also have heard raves about Loncheria El Parque in Chemuyil (next to the kids' park). They're only open for dinner I think.

I had the Sunday Texas bbq at Casa Cenote a few years ago, it was delicious and a lot of fun.

I have also heard of a Restaurant at Rancho San Eric at the entrance to the Biosphere. It's supposed to be very fancy and isn't open all year round.

Pizza Leo's in Chemuyil...... delivered to the beach is even better

Has anyone heard of "Pelicanos" in Puerto Morales? It was suggested by someone I work with...
