El Fogon - 77720 Playa del Carmen

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.

This place was suggested to us and we had to try it out. We were extremely pleasant with everything here. Their tacos were bomb and service was great. If you’re looking for good tacos in playa, y’all need to check them out.

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 place deserves 100 stars! So delicious, affordable prices, quality food and service. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food was so good! I had the sirloin taco with cheese, pastor taco with cheese, and the La gringa and a soda all for $10. Amazing! Their sirloin is top notch!

El Fogón is hands down one of the best meals we had in Playa del Carmen. It’s just a short walk from the touristy Fifth Avenue, but it feels like a totally different vibe in the best way. Don’t let the location fool you, they treat you like a local the moment you walk in. They offer menus in both English and Spanish, and even when the place is packed (which it often is), the staff is super attentive and friendly. The service is quick, the energy is great, and the food? Absolutely delicious. Everything tasted authentic and full of flavor, this is the kind of place you go to when you want the real local experience. If you’re visiting Playa, do yourself a favor and walk a few blocks off Fifth Avenue. El Fogón is 100% worth it. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

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.

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.
