THIS IS A MUST EAT AT TAQUERIA IN PDC
This is the best taco place I’ve been to in PDC. The lengua, tripa durado, and many others are incredible. The service is fast and efficient and servers speak English if you need it, but it has lots of locals so you know it’s good.

They have various drinks but no beer or agua mineral so if you want fizzy water you just need to bring it with you.
Yum. A must go for cheap and delicious street food. Staff are lovely too. 18 pesos for two huge tortas. Will definitely be going back.
Great street food stand with super friendly people. We got a couple tasty burritos for under 200 pesos

Food is fantastic, the meat is so flavourful and delicious. We had to come back every day after our first trip. Have always loved El Fogon but now Taqueria Gomez is my new favorite place to eat in Playa del Carmen.

Great Mexican Tacos. Tip - always was mexican tacos with cilantro and Onion. And remember an order of 5 tacos isn't that much.

The Guacamole was awesome - not some silly blended up contraption. Just mashed Avocado, onions, tomato and cilantro, salt and some lime.

Perfectly located just outside the ADO Bus Terminal.

La verdad no había ido a una taqueria que tuvieras que pedir y recoger, servir salaas y a parte tener que dejar tus platos, ni que fuera comunitario. Antes lo encontrabas repleto, ahora está triste y te atienden sin ganas. Solo doy 3 estrellas porque esta rico, pero por el precio otros lugares sí te dan el servicio completo.
Taco stand with delicious tacos! The best street tacos we had on this trip. Paid under 200 pesos for 5 tacos and two aqua frescas. They also have tortas (sandwiches), quesadillas, burritos, etc.

Absolute best pastor tacos in Playa

Very bad and slow service. No customers and they ignored us even though we paid first.
Great local place, not too far from fifth avenue but definitely the local experience. Great for getting away from 5th's crazyness.

Good, cheap street food. Beers are a little steep at 80 pesos but other than that very good.

Love this place. Price is right. Food is good and the staff is friendly and attentive. One of our favorite local neighborhood places. Good margaritas too.
Versatile place to take something quick on the go and also perfect for the night time since it works till 3am.
Great local food. Have eaten there more than once.
Just amazing: the best tacos in town!
Strongly recommended 🌮

This place is so good and cheap! Me and my boyfriend went here twice already on our vacation and they were so kind to us. I would recommend. The meat is also fresh of the stick like shawarma. It is amazing!

I had the best tacos in Playa del Carmen here. The prices are incredibly low – just 15 pesos each. They offer a variety of pork organ meats. As the service is primarily in Spanish, I suggest English speakers do some research beforehand to place orders more easily. I highly recommend trying the lengua (pork tongue), buche (pork stomach), tripa dorada (fried pork intestine), and maciza (pork white meat). The sauces provided at the table are super fresh. By the way, the food stands at the corner of 15th Avenue & Calle 2 Norte are also very good.

All of the tacos we had were amazing and the service was unmatched! Luis talked us through each taco on the menu, which were the most popular and what to put on each one! We truly enjoyed our dinner here and would highly recommend it if you’re looking for yummy street tacos for a very affordable price! Also, it’s cash only!

Le pongo 5 estrellas de servicio porque sus dueños son muy amables con todos los clientes, sin embargo ya no cuenta con meseros y comer en el lugar puede ser un poco molesto. Anteriormente era 10 de 10 en todo, actualmente pues no hay servicio y no hay cerveza (mucha gente no come tacos sin cerveza) pero los tacos y la comida (lo más importante) sigue siendo los mejores a la redonda

Gracias Tacos Díaz por tantos años de los mejores tacos en Playa

It is portable Taco stand run by a family - mainly 3 generation s of females. I saw two nice young ladies cooking and serving - 4 year old daughter playing under the cart. Mom and grandma helping. They made us, 3 foreigners feel locals - charging us same price as locals with smiles.
I ordered carne asada and it was more like "skin asada " chunks of fat. When I paid with my card they were charging me 10 % of comisions just because using my card I believe this is illegal

Fuimos porque siempre nos gusta ahí, pero sorpresa. Ya no venden cerveza,no hay mesera, tienes que pedir en la caja, recojer tu pedido y además ya no hay pago con tarjeta. Que mal que descuiden su servicio,si no van a vender cerveza,ok. Pero no le bajen a la calidad del servicio. Espero que regresen a como antes.

Great value for just a good taco. Nothing I'd cross the city for, but it's good place to stop in after a night of drinking. Service was nice and fast.
Best taco i had during my trip to Mexiko🇲🇽❤️ I miss taco al pastor so much!

Muy bien servicio
FRESH LOCAL TACOS, TORTAS AND QUESADILLAS AT AN AMAZING PRICE!! Upon arriving to Mexico our mission was to try as much street food as we could, and this spot did not disappoint. Very friendly service and they all work as a team to get your food served. Most of the food was priced $1-$5 depending on the order and the portion are great!! They are open during the weekday late and on Saturdays there are many other vendors who pop up as well and they get busy!! I will definitely recommend this gem to anyone in the Playa de Carmen Area !!
We found this gem once we arrived to PDC since its located next to the bus station. And we returned like 5 times there...and we simply had tacos al pastor con queso and guacamole on side. We just loved it so we had to take it with us also as a takeaway to the airport the last day 😁. Sure its not a michelin restaurant but you dont expect anything like that. the seating area was with AC and had a sink to was your hands which was enough for us.
Great food, we got here the first thing after coming from the airport and had to come back many times after that. Delicious and cheap food.

This restaurant is filled with local people which is always a good sign. The margaritas here are out of this world and very strong! Food is delicious and portions are huge. I think the waiter who served us was probably the best waiter in Playa del Carmen. Good value for money at this restaurant too so highly recommended.

Great lunch spot we came to a few times during our stay. Always fresh, each day we got whatever was on the grill. Chicken tacos, Al pastor, mixed tacos, quesadilla, torta. Everything was great, the guys manning the grill were super friendly and gave good suggestions each day! Loads of sauce options to have for their or to pack away.

Looking for different options for meat? Lengua, tripa, surtido, suadero, and maciza are here. Very tasty meat. Only 2 salsas and both picante as it caters more to locals. Very inexpensive. Highly recommend 👌

Minus the lack of Spanish languages (my fault), this is where the locals eat in my view. Locals grab it on the way to ADO bus. Very tasty!

You can do much better than going to this place. I only ended up here because I was tired of walking and my favorite places were closed. There is nothing special at all about the food and it is not even cheap.

I got the hibiscus drink and it wasn't very good as well.

This is one heck of a taco shop. I think they are good enough to open their own restaurant. The gringas they make are as big as pizzas and having a great selection of toppings is awesome.

Buenos tacos y siempre buena atención. Ahora no tienen mesera pero se organizaron muy bien para dar el servicio. La misma calidad de siempre.
Están suuuuper ricos, hay variedad de aguas frescas, incluso venden cervezas, les recomiendo los tacos de surtido de cabeza o los de cecina
We have good tacos in Florida, but here across the ocean in playa del Carmen are the best I’ve had. One order was not enough for me. I went for 2nds.

This place has tripa taco! But it is not been cut into small piece. Price is cheap about 20 peso per taco. Open late night and there is a coconut store next to this only 45 peso per coconut.
Parking is easy, free street parking.
Great tacos al pastor, among the best I've had, at reasonable prices.

BEST BURRITO EVER. I have been going to Mexican Taco about every other day for 2 weeks now. They are fantastic. This is coming from someone who has dining out in Playa Del Carmen everyday for 5 months
Great tacos al pastor and sirloin. Make sure you get all the fresh toppings! The owners are very kind and attentive. We went back 3 different times.
Los mejores tacos de carnitas !!!

Super leckeres Essen! Durfte anfangs sogar probieren ob es mir schmeckt, die Leute sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Besser als jedes Essen in der Stadt, preiswerter und traditionell, top empfehlenswert! Ich würde jederzeit wieder dort essen!
This is a tiny, traditional taqueria with only a few tables, that is very well worth visiting for their delicious hot roasted pork tacos. The photo doesn't do it justice. They have two kinds of meat at the front of the restaurant, which they slice and chop when you order, and if all the seats are taken, you can also purchase one meat or the other or mixed by weight to take home, and they will pack it to go along with tortillas, lime, chopped onions and salsa. The people running it are delightful, and it's real food, fresh, nothing artificial is added. It's cheap and good value. Go for lunch.
Awesome tacos and even vegetarian items, wonderful service and really great prices. I will come back often and bring my friends!
