Amate 38

Lucky for me, this is right down the street from our hotel. This is on the most beautiful street in Playa. There was a lady making fresh tortillas in the restaurant as we ate. The service was fantastic, and the food even better. This tasted like very traditional Mexican/Mayan food. You definitely want to check this out if you're in the area. The ambience and the naturalness of this restaurant is a thing not to be missed in and of itself.

Quite possibly the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. Located beside a cenote, you are almost given the impression you are eating in a large treehouse. The staff never stopped hustling, always made sure we had full drinks and snacks. Each cocktail was extremely well made. You can tell they take great pride in everything that they do. My friend had a question about mezcal and was not only given a history and lesson about mezcal, but was also treated to a small tasting of some. Not only was this some of the finest food I’ve ever had, the prices were extremely reasonable as well; dinner for 2 with 2 appetizers and 4 cocktails was around $60 USD.

Let me preface this by saying we realized on this trip that we are food/coffee snobs, so take that into consideration... Good atmosphere, very busy at breakfast time. The food lacked flavor when we were there but adding the salsa that was provided helped. I had the Amate omelette which was ok, my partner had a ham u0026 pea plantain dish which we do not recommend. The latte's were OK but if you are used to correctly steamed milk we suggest you head up the street to the cocoa shop. There is a pretty waterfall and fish pond in the back, be sure to take a look!

Lovely experience all around, with amicable service and cozy outdoor atmosphere. The dish comes in smaller portions than usual but it’s the perfect size in my opinion. Food has a Mexican flare and fresh ingredients.

We have been at Amate 38 on our bi-annual (for ~3 years) trips to Playa del Carmen. Hands down the best flavors, most consistent over the years. Drinks are outstanding, atmosphere and service are great while atmosphere is great.
