Fundado en 2014.

From the Pampas of Argentina and the Tulip fields of Holland, via the Caribbean, Florida, New Hampshire and Nevada, Chefs/​owners Jose Luis and Catherine Pawelek have made Playa del Carmen their home.

Meeting on a cruise ship in 1980 was only the beginning of their adventures together and being called «The Nomads, Gypsies or Vagabonds» is truly appropriate for this global couple.

Salt Rock Grille + Cocktails and its menu is the fruitation of all their travels, with a motto of «Globally Inspired… Locally Produced», the Paweleks are making an impact on the local restaurant scene. Although they have opened, managed and sold 6 other restaurants throughout the U.S. this, their new restaurant on famous Quinta Avenida, has their full attention. Although laid-​back Playa is a vacation destination, the restaurant caters to both tourists and frequent local diners. Personal hands-​on service from the on-​premise owners, paired with quality food and value driven prices is their goal.
