Café Orange is off the tourist trail but a good resource for those wanting a good value lunch. Café Orange is open all day and can be a nice little spot for breakfast too but we really like the lunch specials. For the same price as a sandwich somewhere you can have a three course meal. You can find this restaurant on our list of great lunch deals in Playa Del Carmen. Make sure you check out this place for lunch sometime.
Café Oranges Lunch Special!
You get a small plate, main plate, dessert and drink for about 95 pesos. That is a pretty good value. Here are two options that we got. The first on is cream soup, breaded fish fillet with salad and rice and brownie+drink
Or you could get this combo-Soup, pork with maple glaze and mash potatoes and brownie+drink

About The Author
We had a not so good experience at Cafe Orange for breakfast. Service was very slow, with each dish coming out one at a time. The waffle was very dense and flavourless, and the coffee was watery. The chilaquiles and rancheros were ok, but I would probably not go back. Thinking that perhaps they are under new management since this article was written.
We did say it was a good lunch option and maybe it is better for lunch because it is a menu of the day. Meaning it is less options and easier to plate up the food. Service in Playa overall is all over the place and we don’t usually talk bout it. Wait staff comes and goes as Playa is a transient town of people. For breakfast you should try Papa Charlie’s across the street. They have good coffee and nice plates.
Yes, maybe better for lunch! We did see a lot of people across the street eating breakfast at Papa Charly’s, which is usually a good sign. Also loved Cueva Del Chango, Chez Celine and Euforia (which has excellent pastries). Thanks again for your wonderful website…it was very helpful for our trip to Playa.
