El Fogón

"It's not just about classic tortillas stuffed with various types of meat here. Instead, this taqueria also offers more complex dishes that are always worth considering. The fogoncito bistec is a house specialty heaped with beef, bacon, chorizo and melted cheese.Frequented by both locals and tourists alike, this place is typically crowded but the service is prompt, so you won't be waiting too long. Paddle fans up above keep things cool while you work up an appetite." - Michelin Inspector

Hands down the best taco joint in Playa Del Carmen. I don't think anyone will be able to change my mind on this. On a previous trip, I ended up going twice within 3 days. On my most recent trip, it was the first place I went when I got back into town. Not only are the prices extremely reasonable, the flavours are unmatched. They just do it better at El Fogón. I personally enjoy getting a variety of tacos as opposed larger menu items (like quesadillas or burritos) because I like enjoying all the different flavours they have to offer. Their guac is also incredible. Don't pass up on their margaritas either - they're massive and delicious! I'm not lying when I say that I associate El Fogón synonymously with Playa del Carmen. I can't go to Playa del Carmen without El Fogón and I can't go to El Fogón without going to Playa del Carmen. Can't wait to go back!

This is the Mexican food I would like to eat every day. Super delicious and juice meat is being served in various combinations. Just the guacamole is worth a visit. Been here several times and I have never been disappointed.

Love this place!! Came here for the first time 2017, and make the trip here every time I’m in Mexico!! Best authentic Mexican food around!! Short walk from 5th st in play del Carmen!! If you’re looking for authentic Mexican and not American Mexican this is your place!! Food is amazing and prices are great!!! Screw the all inclusive and come enjoy your food!! You won’t be disappointed!! I promise!!

Excellent, authentic spot! The tacos are really good. They have an expensive menu and the Coke and a glass bottle was excellent. You can pay by card or cash.

Absolutely amazing experience. The food was incredible and hands down our best meal in Playa. Best margaritas too. Very affordable. 3 margaritas, a soda, two tacos and fajitas was around $50 USD. We have two more dinners in Playa and this is the only place I want to go.

Very good food and friendly, helpful service. We stayed at an all inclusive so this was a very welcome meal that was delicious. Portions are large and we over ordered. My husband and I could have shared our main dish with an appetizer. The sirloin was flavorful and tender. Al pastor tacos were also delicious.

This was close to our best meal in Playa del Carmen. The flavours of the meats and dishes were absolutely beautiful. It was brilliant value for money and true authentic Mexican food.

Food was great! Service was really good and the atmosphere was bright and lively. I recommend getting any of the pork based dishes, especially the al pastor. Everything was well seasoned and cooked just right
