Esquina thai restaurant - 77710 Playa del Carmen

While the food at this place is good, the waitress brought out the wrong order and then tried to blame me for ordering the wrong dish. And when paying the bill after eating, she tried to charge me double for the food. Untrustworthy staff, made me feel like I was being scammed. Got bad vibes and would not spend my money here.

I ordered food for delivery. They sent the wrong items. Ordered por pia thod (pictured as fried spring rolls). Received a scoop of rice.

Amazing food and such reasonable prices! We’ve travelled a lot and throughout Thailand extensively and these Thai dishes were so well done! We will be back again and again. 300 pesos for Green curry with rice and a pad Thai! The owners are super sweet too! We did try two different dishes the next time around - a mixed rice a veggie dish and they weren’t our favourite. Sticking to the green curry and pad Thai!

We wanted to like this place, its a block from our place and we are big thai food lovers. But....it was a disappointment. First there isnt much emphasis on covid protocols or safety. Cooks weren't masked, and we were the only people wearing masks in the place, including the servers. Our server put a mask on when asked, but this was very uncomfortable for us. We ordered Tom Kai Kha, chicken pad thai and yellow curry. The tom kha has a strange 'gamy' flavor - like nothing I've tasted. It was not flavored at all, and there was very little of it. It was think broth - if there was coconut milk in it we couldnt tell. The phad thai was stuck together and boring. again, there was little spice in the dish, but a pile of red pepper flakes on the side. The curry was the best dish on the menu, but not good enough to make up for the other disappointments. Don't waste your time on this place.

I really wanted to like this place and I’m so sad they didn’t come through ??? the green curry here was super watery and sweet (like candy). I tried to remedy it with salt but it really wasn’t fixable. I had to trade plates with my husband because the curry made me so sad. The pad kee mow’s flavor profile was more in line with Thailand, but it focused more on the vegetables and there wasn’t a lot of noodles in the dish. Small portion too, so if you’re only eating that, make sure to order an appetizer. We only got these two dishes and I left the restaurant hungry. Maybe their take out is better!

Wow !!!! What flavors at Esquina Thai ! Although, the place looks terrible, the FOOD WAS FANTASTIC! Note to Owner, please hide the kitchen behind some bamboo and add some plants. Gees, such great food deserves great ambiance !

I usually order delivery from this place as a last resort if Mae Thai isn't delivering. It's always been mediocre but the last time I ordered, the food was so bad it didn't even get finished. The curries are thin and watery, almost like a soup with not a lot flavour. We've ordered all three and they basically have the same flavour. The papaya salad is more expensive than any other Thai place but has the audacity to be a carrot and papaya salad. I've attached a photo to show what a rip-off it is. The only saving grace here is they somehow manage to make a decent Pad Thai so if you need to order, just get one of those.

I was a bit sceptical at first but ended up going here for lunch as I had some cravings. Well, neither I nor my wife were disappointed. Tom Yum soup was pretty authentic. As for PadThai, it was one of the best ones I've had in a while. I'm not a fan of green curry but my wife liked it so we were both satisfied. Will be back to try a few other dishes.
