Mi Jardin Secreto - 77710 Playa del Carmen

Overpriced drinks (including water) - basically American prices. Terrible dollar conversion rate - would have paid with a credit card, but one review (which we read after we sat down) said their card was charged days later for more $$. We decided not to order food, and left to find a better place.

Ordered the ceviche and mojitos. The mojitos were super sweet and didn’t find the ceviche to par. Service is passable but I didn’t like how they automatically added the gratuity on the total bill. I was dining alone so maybe they thought they could try ripping me off. I would have liked the option to select my own gratuity. Don’t think I’ll be going back again.

FRAUDULENT CHARGE I visited this restaurant and a couple minutes after they took my credit card away to pay the bill, I got a notification of a fraudulent charge for $271 for an rental company. We did not rent anything as we were leaving that day. Our male waiter took the credit card downstairs and about 10 minutes later, a different woman brought it back with the chip reader to complete the purchase for lunch. Be extremely careful here. They do not need to take your card from the table, the card reader should be brought to your table. I’ve reported the fraud which is now being investigated, cancelled my credit card and wish I could call the police on my waiter. He was the man in the upstairs seating and extremely rude and impersonal the whole time we were there. When I asked him where the nearest rental company was (after the fraudulent transaction), all of a sudden, he got extremely talkative and friendly. He told me not to go to any on the corner near the restaurant “because they were dangerous” and instead to go about 10 blocks down. Food was fine but never leave your card unattended here. A least one of the waiters is a thief.

Overpriced food the only good there was the service ..flavorless think before spend your money

It's a neat spot with a good view of the main strip, and there's even a 'club' on the third floor. The food was ok, nothing to write home to momma about, and pricing is good. You'll definitely go for the atmosphere, and the servers were very inconsistent. Some were nice and attentive, some really couldn't have cared less. Overall it's a decent little spot if you want a break from the action and want something to nibble on.

Really nice spot! Multiple floors, really good breeze upstairs and the food was so fresh. Great drinks and fairly priced.

I had a great service here. Went on a Saturday lunch, it wasnt busy. I has lots of staff waiting for me. Staff seem happy and been dancing to the music. I had Molle de Olla which was fantastic and Piña Colada. Its a very touristy spot. As for the tips mentioned in other comments, you are given an option to tip 10 or 15% of the bill.

There are better options than this restaurant. The service is slow and the food nothing special. The tip of 15-18% is added to the price. I recommend avoiding this restaurant!
