Just tried 3XL Burger (opened 1 week ago); across from Wal-Mart, next to OXXO. Wow, Hamburger, Pork, or Chicken, with tons of fixins and sauces. To top it off they have sweet potato fries (and regular).
Thanks! We almost went yesterday but will definitely check it out soon. Thanks again! We love tips!
Wow so many hamburger options in Playa Del Carmen! You guys really get around. I live here and never knew about half these places. I will go try Ruta 307 this week, it looks great! Thanks for the great guide.
Being a tourist & going to the beach every day,I like to enjoy my burgers on the beach & I really enjoy them at Playa Maya on the beach.Down 8th calle
Thanks for letting us know about your favorite burgers in Playa Del Carmen. We have heard about Playa Maya but they have not gotten back to our repeated emails and other attempts to contact them. We would like to add them to our Beachfront Restaurants Guide as well. Maybe they will want to be on our website one day.
I usually love all of your recommendations but I’m sorry to say that Tacotenedor was a huge disappointment. I ordered the tuna burger and was really excited that it was to come with sweet potato fries. Well it actually came with about 6 under cooked regular potato fries…strike one. The tuna burger looked pretty sad from the start, about the thickness of a McDonalds cheeseburger. A thin, overly fishy tasting “tuna steak?” a single slice of tomato and a but of runny mayo…strike two. To top it off it took about 20 minutes to make this pretty horrible meal even though there were only 4 other people in the whole place and the cost of 120 pesos was extreme for what you got…strike three.
Sorry guys but Tacotenedor has either gone very down hill since you last tried them or I caught them on an exceptionally bad night. Don;t think I’m willing to give them a second chance.
Thank you Sarah for your comments. We think that Tacontenedor must have gone downhill since we last were there. One if the issues in Playa Del Carmen is staff turnover. If the owners are not around a lot and there is staff that is not good, things can go downhill fast. We actually talked with the owner a few weeks ago because we see so much potential in this small little restaurant just off 5th Avenue. Places like Los Hijas De los Tostadas are taking over the seafood chic market and making it fun to eat there. We will pass your comments directly to the owner because we know he will take it seriously. We like to help businesses be the best possible and we want to support the good ones. For now we will take Tacontendor off this list. Thank you again.
