Papa Charly Restaurant for Lunch
You can order off the menu as well but the main plates are around 80-99 pesos so you are basically getting a free second course, dessert and drink for free in your combo. So you do the math!
The price is either 109 pesos for a limited menu option combo or 119 pesos for a larger selection of menu items. Included in the price is drink of the day, salad or pasta, main course plate and then dessert. Wow! All that for just about $5.40-6.40 USD!
This lunch special is from 12:30pm-4:30pm.
The drink of the day can feature fresh made limeade or other fruit infused drink. Portions are nice and you wont leave feeling overstuffed. So how does that sound to you? Well just look at these combos and tell us what you think.
The first combo is a fettuccini pasta with cilantro cream sauce and broccoli, followed by a chicken in white wine sauce with mash potatoes and vegetables, and then lime pie slice (drink not shown).
Or how about this combination: Thai noodles, eggplant moussaka, followed by a flan (drink not shown).
Lets support great restaurants in Playa Del Carmen and tell them you read about them here. We love supporting good local businesses.
Enjoy this nice open air restaurant with fast and friendly service and make sure you visit for the lunch combos!

We stopped by Papa Charly the other day for lunch, super good! it was a lot of nice food and that price was great. That was only like $6.50. Back home I would pay abou6 $16 for that meal or more. Such a good find! Thanks for sharing on your website. We look forward to finding more places like this!
We are glad you found this place! It is not on the usual tourist area of 5th Avenue but with a little looking around you can get some great deals at restaurants. Lunch here is such a good deal and we love supporting this restaurant. Plus if you get to talk to the owner, who is also bilingual, he is really nice.
I took my parents here and they really enjoyed it. The food was very good. I think we were there at the end of lunch so they were a little backed up. That was the only thing that was not the best. I would suggest coming early so you can have faster service.

Definetly a great spot in Playa Del Carmen. Honest meal for honest pay. Good Value and nice people.
I really like the things you guys write about. Great tips and places to visit. Keep up the amazing works guys.
I visited Playa del Carmen from San Francisco where we have lots of great Italian restaurants in our North Beach area, but Papa Charly is BY FAR the absolute best pasta I’ve ever had. We visited for dinner twice during our stay in Playa. The pasta is made fresh and you can really tell the difference. The texture is amazing. I tried both a tomato based sauce and a cream based sauce on the two nights and both blew my mind. Especially the bolognese. GET THE BOLOGNESE! Can’t wait to return to playa just to go back to Papa Charly.
We recently purchased a condo at Las Gaviotas 20th Ave con 20th Calle, we have made Papa’s Charley’s our go to place for lunch. Everything we’ve tried has been enjoyable. Daily lunch specials can not be beat. 129 Pesoes includes drink, appetizer, entree, and dessert.
The breakfast menu offers a variety of omelettes, fruits and pastries. Food presentation and freshness top notch
