Playa Del Carmen Cuisine
Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. March 2007. Playa Del Carmen real estate isn’t the only boom in town. The number of restaurants has grown to nearly 300 in this tropical paradise of about 90,000 residents. That spans the quaint taco stands to the upscale eateries along 5th Avenue.
“The days of being afraid to eat the food here are over”, says one tan bodied tourist, as she sips on her Corona and munches on a shrimp taco. The competition for the dining dollar are so stiff, that restaurant owners take no chances with a patron becoming ill from their food. They know, if someone thinks their food made them sick, they will never come back. And, as the saying goes, if one has a bad experience they’ll tell 10 people and if they have a good experience they’ll tell two. This is not a gamble that restauranteers want to take. “We value our customers greatly” states one owner, “we spend lots of ad dollars and energy to get them into our restaurants, and we want them to come back again and again”.
Along with the typical Mexican food in Playa, you can now enjoy French, Asian, Chinese, Sushi, Japanese, German, Swiss, Italian and many variations there of. The choices seem endless. Just think, you could eat at a different restaurant each day for 300 days, and chances are, by the time you reached the 300th, there would be another 50 to try out.
So when in Playa, use your common sense, but don’t be afraid to indulge in the culinary adventure that’s offered by the masters of cuisine in this charming Caribbean town.
And, let’s not leave out the other towns in the Riviera Maya. Although they don’t have the numbers that Playa does, Puerta Aventuras, Akumal, Tulum and Majahaul all have there special additions to please the palate.
