La Consentida - 77720 Playa del Carmen

Great cocktails! Nice atmosphere. Would love to come back again.

We came here twice during our trip to Playa Del Carmen because the tacos were so good! We tried the fried fish and fried shrimp tacos, the octopus taco, and our personal favorites the governor and banana pepper tacos. Seriously drooling thinking about those two tacos. The service was friendly and fast. I can’t comment on the other food or drinks but we enjoyed our time here and would come back.

This restaurant recently opened up and it always caught my eye as the restaurant looks nice but that’s where it stops. All of our drinks had no taste, margarita, Paloma and mojito. The food was exactly the same no taste bland. We had the melted cheese, the guacamole and the garlic shrimp and we left to go have dinner else where. This place definitely won’t be open for long.

Good Mexican option in the centre of Playa. Just a block off the main pedestrian drag. We were a bit sceptical, because there are only a few mixed reviews. Seems that the place is new though. Service was excellent - we went for Mexican dishes and weren’t disappointed. Tasty and decent portion sizes. Also pretty affordable food and drinks options - beers and cocktails are very reasonably priced and a lot cheaper than just around the block elsewhere.

We came for fajitas. —-not so great? they grilled the streak to its second death. BUT the Pollo Maya is amazing! I don’t particularly care for for chicken breast but this was so juicy! My son thought it was fish!! ? I also got the Governor tacos and they were really good. My son actually traded the fajitas for 4 of those tacos??? The drinks are amazing. The price is reasonable and you can find what you want within your budget. The service is amazing! It’s absolutely a 10 and I would suggest it!

Average food and Ok service. One star because of feeling being cheated from choice of water not in the menu for an extra charge without even mentioning it to us to margarita that was supposed to be with good tequila but ended up to be 250$ super sweet lemonade. Added tip to the bill without informing upfront. Ended up paying 500$ for food and 1000$ for lemonade and water. What else ... Salsa classes right next to the table. Overall nice looking place for naive tourist

Came here for a second time. Great place to people watch and staff all maintained a positive energy for a 10 pm dinner on a Sunday. They had a great latin pop playlist playing in the background. The drinks, food, and desert were nothing remarkable. Chips and salsa came out last, and the tacos gobernador (as seen in photo) had too much cheese and very little shrimp. I wasn't able to eat the tacos (greasy quesadilla). I will say you pay for the location and energetic atmosphere.

Very glad I came here BEFORE reading the reviews. This place is probably the best restaurant I've been to (considering value-for-price, service level, and food quality) in all of Mexico from Coast to Coast... 1) Value is really there with reasonable prices for the centro area. Expect to pay 200-250 pesos on average for a main course, though more expensive (400-600) and less expensive (70-90) options also exist. 2) Service level was top notch from the moment we reached the front gate, to being led upstairs, to our waiter experience, and even the busboys. Tons of smiles & happy faces. BIG shoutout to our waiter Cesar who really made this experience awesome. I hope management reads this and understands the potential in Cesar, who really understands what tourism & restauration businesses are all about. Cesar went out of his way to ensure that he can accommodate to my father's food allergies, even double-checking with the chef & coming back to us when he had any doubts. Nobody in all of PDC ever did that, and my dad has suffered vacation-ruining rashes from it. But Cesar was kind enough to make safety a priority. Big props. 3) Food quality was great! We had the shrimp burger & beef burger (had to keep it simple due to allergy) and both were really good! For the price you're paying, obviously don't expect a fine-dining experience. But also for the price you're paying, you get much better than other comparables, at least for the burgers. Burgers were flavoursome, chips (fries) that came with it were tender & with sweet paprika sprinkled, and the iced tea was made on the spot and *exactly* to my liking (Canadian iced tea is more lemony & less sweet than American Sweet Tea... This one was even better than typical Canadian iced tea) Overall, do give this place a shot. I'm very critical on where I go, but this was such a great night on the terrace with music. P.S. Our waiter wore the mask the entire time. While it was removed only for this photo at our request, he held his breath during the photo & maintained safety procedures.
