Guestbook
“ Everytime I walked by this place it was crowded and now I understand why. The food is outstanding and very fairly priced. I got an order of marlin tacos and a tuna tostado and both of them were outstanding. I also got a cocunut and rum drink that was next level. In addition the service was lighting fast and they played great music that added to the vibe of this festive and fun filled restaurant ”
“ Walked by this seafood restaurant discovering and the flavors smelled sooo good my bestfriend and i returned for dinner. For an appetizer we had camarones cucaracha, i ordered quesito pacifico and my bestfriend ordered salmon. This is some of the best seafood i have had in a very long time. The hostess sat us quickly and explained there was a small wait. Our server Natalia was really nice and also helped me in my dinner choice. Will definitely add this to one of my fave spots to eat at when i visit Playa. Very chill vibe ”
“ I think the food here is worth trying at least once. I ordered two of their signature dishes. The food was not spicy, and the octopus was very tender. However, the prices were much higher than I expected. Maybe because it’s a hot-region cuisine, the flavor was a bit sour. ”
“ We stopped by MarisKinky during our trip to Playa del Carmen and honestly had a really fun time. The place has a great vibe lively, welcoming, and perfect if you’re hanging out with friends and want to enjoy some drinks and seafood. We ordered a few beers and tried a mix of seafood dishes including shrimp and fish. The shrimp was definitely the highlight. It was fresh, well-seasoned, and the sauces they serve with it are amazing. Everything paired really well together and you can tell they know how to bring out good flavors. One small thing I’d mention for travelers who might not know: the fish here is sometimes cooked the way many locals in Mexico enjoy it, which is a bit similar to how steak can be served slightly less cooked in the center. If you’re someone who prefers fish fully cooked, you might want to mention it when ordering or choose a different option. That said, the sauces they serve (I tried it with their mango special sauce) make it really enjoyable and add a great flavor to the dish. Overall, the atmosphere, drinks, and seafood made it a great experience. It’s a fun spot to relax, have a few beers, and enjoy some good seafood while soaking in the Playa del Carmen vibe. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area. ”
“ The good: the atmosphere is really nice. The mediocre: The food. To be fair we only had two items. The shrimp and the guacamole. The shrimp in my opinion didn’t taste good at all. The flavor was off putting to me. I also didn’t realise it came with the head on. Very messy and not appealing but that’s my fault for not looking close enough. The guacamole wasn’t bad. Had cucumber which is different and came with a nice sweet sauce but it could have used salt. I will say it’s enough for 3-4 people. The bad: The service. I sat down and waited 15 minutes as staff walked right by me, chatted amongst each other until I had to repeatedly ask someone to help me. Manager or owner needs to address this because this seems like a theme here. Overall I do want to try the tacos and see if they redeem themselves but overall I don’t see what the fuss is about to be honest ”
