Acá Los Tacos - 77710 Playa del Carmen

Mexican and from California, these tacos hit!

Had the pastor tacos, very good. The gem was the corn tortillas, best we’ve had in PDC.

From the outside, the prices looked good so we went in. We had no idea what we were in store for. We tried to order guacamole and jamaica--two staples at any taquería. They came back later to tell us that they didn't have any even though they had previously said they did. I ended my ordering a quesadilla while my girlfriend didn't order anything. When they brought out the quesadilla, it was extremely small and the bottom tortilla was soggy. It wasn't a pleasant bite. They charged me 40 pesos for it and I felt scammed. In conclusion, if want to feel disappointed in your next dining experience, I would without a doubt recommend this place. Otherwise, steer clear.

Don't be fooled, ratings are low but the place is really decent! And cheapest in Playa!

Good Mexican food at an honest price for the area...

So I was hesitant about how to rate this. The food was pretty decent and the price was ridiculously low. Location was nice and the staff was very friendly. So why, may you ask, is this rated a two stars? Well, after finishing our first plate of tacos and waiting for the second we decided to watch the cook. He grabbed a handful of raw chicken, ungloved, chopped it up and threw it on the grill. Then he grabbed the veggies and chopped them on the same board as the raw chicken and threw them on the grill. Then he grabbed the taco shells and put them on the same cutting board and then used his hands to throw them on the grill, flip them, and take them off. He then prepped all the cooked food on the same cutting board, again with his unwashed hands. Needless to say we cancelled our order and left. And as we were leaving we watched him do the same thing but with pork. Wife threw up the moment we got back to our hotel at the thought of what just happened. I downed a good bit of tequila hoping that would kill the bacteria. Here's to hoping that tomorrow doesn't start of bad. *2 Day Later Update* Spent the past two days with horrible diarrhea and vomiting up any meal that isn't chicken soup or bread... Wife is fine. TL;DR: Don't eat here unless you have an iron gut.

This place is perfect for a great meal on the cheap. We got the burrito with the mixed meats and it was great! Only $70 pesos as well which is one of the more expensive things on the menu. Only issue may be seating as it seems to be extremely busy with very little seating. This is the best budget friendly meal I’ve found.

They have the best tacos and best tortas in town. The staff is super nice. We eat there every day while in Playa del Carmen.
