Don Sirloin

This place is not as busy as el fogon, but their food is still pretty good and super cheap. I only ordered the al pastor tacos and they were very flavorful.

Came here upon a recommendation from our airbnb host, as she had raved about the sirloin tacos here! We headed there around 1:30pm to grab some tacos on the way to the airport, but sadly, they were already out of sirloin so we didn’t get to try it… :(. We opted instead to get some chorizo tacos and carne asado tacos — which were ok, but took a very long time to come out, and then were pretty soggy within 5 or so minutes. We found out that there are at least two locations for this place — the other a couple blocks away and as we drove by, we saw that they were busy and had a lot of sirloin roasting … next time will try that place out!

This restaurant has high reviews that convinced my husband and I to give this restaurant a try. It is a restaurant we are glad we did not miss!
The price was very reasonable! We got 2 beers, 2 waters, 2 burritos (beef and sirloin) and guacamole dip. The entire dinner cost us only $ 23!
Not only that, but the waiters were very attentive and punctual. Whatever on our table that got emptied, they either took it away or refilled it quickly. They also took time to explain to us what dishes consisted of and what they recommended. We felt like they were there to make sure our dinner was pleasant!

Slightly off the beaten path, away from the overpriced touristy spots along 5^th. avenue you will find Don Sirloin. Here you will find traditional Mexican tacos at a very reasonable price, all the meats are cooked to order served with fresh salsa. My favorite were the arrachera tacos (skirt steak) perfectly marinated and then loaded with salsa. If you want some really good cheap tacos, this is the place.

This place is a vhain but their food is good. I do recommend it for a relatively quick bite. There arracherra and guac are good. I found the sirloin to be a little greasy. This patticular location is nice and on a corner so you get nice breezes in the restaurant. The service us good there.

Amazing beef tacos, fajitas, and more! Fresh salsas with jalapeños and pineapple really set off the flavor explosion at this place. Affordable at about 130 pesos for a three taco set and the beef fajitas. Maybe order a beer or agua to put out the fire from the salsa!

Don Sirloin was recommended by the divemaster that had recommended our dinner the night before. I had chicken tacos, and my daughter had sirloin tacos, and we ordered some extra queso. The food was amazing. It turns out that there are several locations of Don Sirloin. We ate at the one on 30^th Avenue, and later walked past a location on Av. Constituyentes. When we arrived for dinner on Monday night, the place was completely empty. By the time we left, there were several tables of customers. Don Sirloin has their sirloin on a trompo (large revolving spit like you see for Greek gyros). The server brought us several salsas and some guacamole for our tacos, and we ordered some extra queso, which was not necessary, it turned out. The tacos were AMAZING. I mean, they were juicy, perfectly spiced, fresh and delicious. I wanted to go back to Don Sirloin on a different night, it was so good. My daughter liked El Fogon chicken better because it was spicier. We both agreed that the sirloin was better at Don Sirloin.

Very good food for a very casual place. Tried to go to El Fongo but the place was packed so came here instead. Was busy also and the 3 of us was happy with the decision.
Service was very good and they spoke some English which helped. Had the nachos, the guacamole and we each had an entrée (all beef) and left satisfied.
They also had 3 different bottles of salsa or sauce for the tacos and they all tasted great (My favorite was the green bottle which had more heat than the others).
Good place to eat some authentic food and I recommend checking it out if you are close to Quinta (which most people seem to be when in Playa).

Tasty tacos and open early and late, making it extremely convenient. We only tried the sirloin tacos and although a thicker cut than the shredded Barbacoa meat I’m used to, it’s tender, juicy and delicious. 17 pesos a taco makes a very affordable meal or late night snack.

this seems like the tourist version of a Mexican taco joint. I initially had lowered expectations based on the number of fellow foreigners mingling with us. probably not gonna get authentic tacos here. I was pleasantly surprised.
perfectly authentic? maybe not, but these are tasty things with awesome meat. better quality meat than you’d find elsewhere. tasted different from the more «real» places I went to, but really great in a different way.
don’t be put off by the touristy crowds. give the place a try.
suggest the horchata a too!

El local es pequeño, con mesas de madera y un menú de tacos mas bien básico, las quesadillas no son su fuerte, pedí unas quesadillas de rajas y no tenían buen sabor. Los que pidieron tacos de sirloin y pastor no quedaron tampoco muy convencidos. Lo que si me gusto son sus aguas de sabor natural. La carne si es de buena calidad pero viniendo de Monterrey pues las expectativas son altas y no les llegan =)

Outstanding place for sirloin and pork tacos. The meat is cooking on the spit out front. All were very tasty and the meat was moist. Beans were great. Almost like a soup and has pork and chorizo in it. Comes with chips. Definitely adding don sirloin to one of our favs in Playa.

Came here with friends after partying for late-​night munchies! Ordered the al pastor, arrachera, and sirloin– we ordered a bunch and tried some with pineapple jalapeño salsa (which is divine!), and some with cheese! The faves ranked in order were the sirloin, arrachera, and then al pastor. (I loved the pastor because it was slightly sweet, but the guys didn’t really care for it– they were in love with the sirloin!) I recommend this spot for anyone looking to grab quick and easy food at any time of night or day!

Best taco place I ate at while visiting Playa del Carmen last month.
Al pastor is my favorite taco meat in the U.S. But then I tried Don Sirloin… and wow, no comparison. I could die happy eating the al pastor here. They have two glorious meat spits, one for pastor and one for sirloin. Watching the guy cut the meat off the spit right onto the taco was like a work of art. Meat, meat, meat, pineapple, and repeat.
We split the «Taquiza Don Sirloin» meal for 4. It came with sirloin, pastor, arrachera, pollo, queso con chorizo, rajas con crema (poblanos), beans, guac, and tortillas. Yes, yes, and yes. Why is everything sooo good? Meats are perfectly seasoned and juicy, salsas are spicy, and the queso… mmm.
A must try in Playa del Carmen!
Note, there are multiple locations.
Addresses from their website:
–Av. 10 between Calle 12 and 14
–Av. Constituents & 25
–Av. 30 between Calle 32 and 34.

This is your very basic late night taco stand– Basic yes delicious yes! I had the sirloin and it was tender and juicy some of the best I’ve had here in play a Del Carmen. It was served with a pineapple and jalapeño salsa that was also excellent.
I’ll be back for more!

¿Por qué no hay una sucursal en el D.F. ¡Qué ricos tacos! Obviamente si vas, tienes que pedir de sirloin, los sirven en tortilla de maíz o de harina con cilantro y cebolla. No es nada caro, el taco en maíz cuesta $ 15. La carne está suave, en rebanaditas super jugosas. También la gringa de sirloin está riquísima. Después de un día de playa comiendo botanita, estos tacos fueron la gloria.

Amo los taquitos, así que cuando estaba fuera de mis sentidos y buscando desesperadamente algo de comer Don Sirloin me pareció la mejor opción. Decidí ignorar el repulsivo logo y nombre y me fui por el olor que desbordaba y trompo de pastor girando al fuego. Desde que llegué no esperaba mayor calidad, buscaba algo rápido y barato.
El menú no va más allá de lo que esperas comer en una taquería, ofreciendo también tortas, quesadillas, gringas, y algunas entradas. Se encuentra cómodamente a una calle paralela de la quinta, entonces para los que no somos locales esto es conveniente. Te sientan en sencillas mesas de plástico, limpio, te atienden con solo la atención necesaria, no más. La comida me pareció buena, tenía buen sabor, suficientes salsas y cilantro y cebolla para decorarlo, pero le falta cierto toque especial, no tiene nada que destaque de él. Hasta cierto punto me parecieron sobrevalorados los precios de los platillos.

Repito, sí, repito, si vas a un lugar en el que se especializan en algo, pues no puedes no probar la especialidad… en este caso, los tacos de sirloin son los buenos. Además de que la carne es súper suave y con buen sabor, no está tan condimentada como la que se prepara «al pastor». El plus se lo dan las tortillas hechas a mano en el momento. Pídete también un tazón de frijoles, aguacate, salsa y limones para que tus tacos sean de verdad.
Más allá de la especialidad de la casa, también hay tacos para casi todos los gustos. En lo personal me gusta entrarle a los tacos con bebidas sin alcohol, pero si eres de los que gusta de acompañarlos con cerveza, no tendrás problema alguno. La atención es como la de cualquier otra taquería y los horarios también. Una gran alternativa para no ir a la cama con el estómago vacío.

Tacos, tacos y más tacos, un lugar que atrae por el nombre por el olor y por la promesa de carne en una tortilla, que maravilla.
Cuando pienso en un buen atascón de tacos pienso en este lugar, visitarlo en la madrugada (después de la fiesta) y pedirme tacos de cinco en cinco, pero lo que más me hace ilusión y pienso que seríà la diferencia sustancial entre todos los lugares que se dedican a los mismo, son los extra super hiper buenos frijoles charros; ay mamá, podría comerlos toda la vida.
Precios justos para lo que te ofrecen, carne de excelente calidad perfectamente bien preparada; atención muy buena además de higiene y calidad, un lugar recomendable y al cual se puede ir muy seguido, pues a nosotros los mexicanos los tacos son algo que nunca nos va a cansar de comer.

Los tacos están buenos, ni qué decir, no te harán daño si eres mexican@, pues sabemos que somos resistentes como una jerga de petate jajaja, pero si eres extranjero, debes tener mucho cuidado con lo que comes en la calle. Como por ejemplo, ¡los deliciosos tacos! Los del Don Sirloin rompen con todo cliché de tacos = cuidadito o aferre al baño. Obviamente el sirloin es la especialidad y los tacos están bien buenos, la tortilla recién hecha, varias salsas líquidas y verdurita picada, limoncito… Están muy ricos, los de al pastor están buenos, pero mis preferidos del lugar son los de sirloin ¡sin duda! Es un establecimiento hecho y derecho, bien acondicionado, sanitarios, varias mesas y sillas. Los meseros no son los más emotivos ni amables, pero tampoco groseros y el servicio funciona ágilmente, así que no hay mucho de que quejarse. Está en precio, muy bien ubicado y siempre hay lugar para estacionarse justo afuera o muy cerca del establecimiento.
Sus platillos van desde tacos de arrachera, chorizo, pastor, hasta cortes o fajitas, quesadillas, hamburguesas, alambres, burritos, guacamole, quesos fundidos y para beber hay aguas frescas, refrescos o una cervecita para cerrar la noche con broche de oro.
Abierto de lunes a miércoles de 12:00 a 3:00 am y jueves a domingo de 12:00 a 4:00 am.
