El Borrego Loco Taqueria
There is a local restaurant that serves up lamb tacos (called “borrego” in Spanish). Just don’t call them borrega because this is slang for prostitute. Nobody likes tacos of prostitutes!
Lamb is not too easy to come by in Playa Del Carmen so this can be a treat if you have the craving for it. The tacos are barbacoa style which means the meat is slow cooked until the meat just falls apart. Tacos come with onion and cilantro. They bring you a selection of salsas to accompany your tacos. It is more of a custom to go on Sundays among locals.
The restaurant does not look like much, but the tacos make up for it. There are the typical plastic coca cola tables, and it is open air. It is such a local place they usually don’t give you menus. You just order however many tacos you want and a drink.
They do have a special that comes with a hearty soup that can be a little spicy but very unique to this place.
