Caguameria Restaurant and Bar
Update: August 2018 The Caguameria is not closed but is open as a Mexican beer/restaurant.
We have always liked the cool design of this bar and restaurant in Playa Del Carmen. Caguameria has always been more of local place to go and many tourist did not know it has great Mexican food and drinks. We wanted to show you just what this place is all about.
Located just a block off 5th Avenue and the center of town, this cool open air restaurant and bar will give you an authentic feel for being in Mexico. You can get great modern Mexican cuisine and drinks here. This place makes for a great night out in Playa Del Carmen.
The name Caguameria comes from the large bottles of Mexican beer called caguamas. So this bar and restaurant is the place for beer. This holds true because they have a wide selection of Mexican beers and also are adding craft beers to the menu.

Our recommendations
This restaurant and bar is a nice local place with stylish design vibe. Caguameria is a good place for a casual evening. It is close to 5th Avenue but you don’t get the busy, packed or tourist feel that you do on 5th Avenue sometimes.
We recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere different in Playa Del Carmen, for those looking for modern and authentic Mexican food and a place to discover the great drinks of Mexico. These include beers, mezcal and tequilas.
This is also a good place for a group. Contact them to reserve a section.

Hello Gina. Thanks for your comments.
This looks like a good Mexican restaurant to visit. We love beer too!
Caguameria is a great local and casual places. The tacos are good and nice place for beer. Me and my friends go here after work.
Those tacos of marrow look incredible there. It is on our places to go now when in Playa Del Carmen.
Hopefully they will have their English menu ready soon was told our waiter could help us with the menu sadly his English was very bad so we played it safe with tacos came back later in the week for appetizers and drinks with friends
We will check with the owners about this. The bone marrow tacos are so interesting here and the green ceviche is really good as well.
