Celebrated my birthday their for my first time in Mexico. Playa Del Carmen is a must to celebrate during Dia Del Muertos .. I order special Mexico style foods and they were new, fresh and delicious. The service was phenomenal, food was cooked to perfection and they celebrated my birthday with mexican style candle, sombreros, mexican style singing and free cake. The experiences and mini shows on 5th street was the icing on the cake. Only thing is that the place is not enclosed and will feel heat and sweat, they have large fans but yeah..

Had the triple Lindy appetizer. Very good. Wife had spaghetti bolognese. Very good. I had Limone risotto with shrimp. Good but not hot enough for me. Good Carajillo for an after dinner drink.
