Tacontenedor

Really enjoyed the tacos and the service. Great drink specials and super cool atmosphere

Awesome place for shrimp tostadas and mango margaritas!!! Not expensive either. Lovely outside seating

Was great. Fresh made guacamole best pico de gallo. Friendly attentive staff. Lots of salsa and condiments to choose from.

Very good. We kept it simple, got a couple tacos of each type. The «Tacocontenedor» tacos were the best. I also loved the camarones te rajas. Luis was a great server. Super fast, very nice, and helpful. If you don’t want to spend too much and you want to quickly fill up on good food, this place is really good.

We ate here last night — two adults, two kids. It’s a lovely little place in the crack between two buildings. Seating is outside under a huge tree or an awning. No a/​c, but there is a huge fan. It’s just a little bit off busy 5^th avenue.
The lone waiter did a great job of taking care of all of the tables. Every single table was populated by Americans, so if you’re thinking you’ve found the latest secret place, this isn’t it. The food is great and the service is friendly.
Total bill was $ 36 including tip, which is a great value. Expect to order two or three of the soft tacos per person.

One of my fave places to eat in Playa! The servers are attentive, and the food is very inexpensive. The fish tacos are delicious. The fresh coconuts can be sliced open after you drink the water out of them.
The only thing I wish they did was fresh juices like some of the other places nearby.

Tacos were good and inexpensive. Not the best taco we had in Cancun but was good nonetheless. I will caution you with water products.

Was ok food was the first stop on our vacation. After eating at some amazing places this was an afterthought! Stay away from the lobster tacos way to salty no lobster flavor

This place is amazing. I visited playa del carmen for my birthday and enjoyed the music festival The waiters are really nice and give wonderful service. The food is really good and comes out fast. I ordered a burrito but they give you so many various salsas and different sauces. I celebrated my birthday here bought a cake from across the street. Really nice restaurant and very friendly people.

Just wow… you read this make sure you go there and you ll enjoy. First Mexican food in Playa del Carmen that was so delicious. Definitely best taco in town, you can’t compare to the other places. I almost doubted eating there, if it wasn’t for the reviews that i have read, i’d have probably left. Not because the place look bad or anything, but it wasn’t packed like other restaurants. I have no clue why. Food is just amazing!!! I think this is our place to eat for the rest of the vacation.

So very good and the owners are very hands on to ensure your experience is top notch!

Really yummy! Great service! Good prices! Tacos are delicious and the salsa bar is fresh and fun!

Great little taco place, just off 5^th Avenue in a garden al fresco setting.
Delicious guacomole and tacos.
Tacos are quite small… I ordered 2 (fish + veggie) + guacomole + fresh coconut and this was perfect for a not too hungry diner. Total was 135 pesos!
There were a few mosquitos as there is a small water garden — staff have repellent though.
Great free wifi too.
Staff are a bit relaxed but lovely.

This was the first food spot we stopped at on our Mexico trip. Tacotenedor has a very local appeal to it, a small shack like corner joint sandwiched between two other shops/​buildings. The seating arrangement is limited, but it’s a quick bite place. They mainly serve tacos, as the name suggests. They’re extremely cheap; but the size of the tacos are small as well. So be prepared to order plenty if you’re planning on making a meal out of it. I didn’t like the fact that there’s not enough meat that they provide in their tacos. But I suppose they’re limiting the food content due to their cheap price and expecting customers to order more! It’s worth a visit, but as I said before… be prepared to order more than 2 tacos to fill you up!

This place would have gotten a 5 star if it weren’t for the slowest service I have ever experience, it took us 20mins to get our menu or actually I just waited and waited until I went to get the menu myself and there was only 2 tables for that waiter… cheap seafood tacos that range from $ 2-​$ 4 US… very tiny but good snack, we ordered 5… they have lobster, shrimp, octopus, squid, fish tacos… Cute outdoor seating with fresh ingredients

Devine food. Wish I tried everything! Man, this place lives in my dreams, now. Are the servers burnt out? Sure. But believe me, when I say that the food is So good that you’ll forgive and forget. As a stickler for customer service, I’d normally deduct stars for crappy staff, but the food is just that good.
Get there early, because food sells out. Fish/​ingredients are brought in fresh daily.
Pass on the mojito.

I wasn’t impress.
Yes, the tacos are cheap but so do the portions. You need to go to an island where you top your tacos with salsas, pico de gallo, coleslaw, pickle onion, and cabbage thing. It is fun when the place is slow, but must be annoying when a lot of hungry people wants to do the same.
I tasted the octopus taco and was ok, not chewy, but a lil passed.
The lobster taco was x.
The marlin taco had the better amount of food, however it was bland and way too liquid.
The tortillas they use were soggy when I tried to eat just a one tortilla taco…
When I saw the three tiny pieces of the skirt steak I realized that this place could be facing a struggle in between raising their prices or moving to a more affordable location.
The service was awesome. The waiter was fast, accurate, with wide knowledge of the menu; polite, considerate, and kind when a group of regios tried to still our umbrella.

Cute taco joint tucked along Constitution Ave. they have specials everyday so check your utensil box. Since we went on Tuesday, we got the tuna empanada for half off.
Tuna Empanada — ⁴⁄₅ — very small pieces of tuna but well seasoned
Fresh coconut — ⁵⁄₅ — you can see them hacking off the top of a fresh coconut with a machete in the back! They serve you the coconut water from inside and will then cut the coconut in half so you can eat it with a tangy spice or dressing on the side. Delicious and refreshing!!!
Fish taco — ⁴⁄₅ — very small portion of fish
Shrimp taco — ⁵⁄₅ — well seasoned shrimp with cactus and cheese
Another cheap place — we got 5 tacos, the Empanada, and coconut water for $ 10 USD!

Petit «boui boui» caché dans un recoin, en face du centre commercial, qui me paye pas de mine et semble fréquenté par des locaux.
Nous y avons très très bien mangé, les recettes de tacos aux fruits de mer sont délicieuse et les burritos sont très bons et copieux !! Le guacamole est également très bons et les tortillas fort goûteux. Les jus proposés sont peu cher (le verre est énorme!) et hyper rafraîchissants.
Le service n’est pas en reste, on s’assure continuellement que tout se passé bien et que vous né manquez de rien, un des serveurs parle anglais si votre espagnol est trop rouillé. N’oubliez pas le pourboire, non inclus (comme aux USA, Canada…)
Une très bonne expérience faite par hasard, le genre qui fait plaisir ! Rapport qualité prix imbattable.

Muy buena atención y los tacos son riquísimos! Tienen mucha variedad de salsas. El lugar esta muy bien ambientando. Me gustó!

The prices were more than fair and all of the food we had was fresh and delicious.
Guacamole and chips — best we have ever tasted
Empanadas — very good cheese, crust
Signature taco — must have, amazing combination of ingredients
Beer — can’t go wrong with a XX lager :)

Very nice place for tacos and a beautiful outdoor ambience. They have a vast variety of fish choices from octopus to marlin and a salsa island to create your own toppings: coleslaw, mango chipotle, pickled onions, salsa verde, etc.
The star of the night was the smoked marlin and the tender octopus. The guacamole was great too but it’s redundant in Mexico. Anywhere you go the guac is amazing.
The only comment is that the tacos could have a little bit more filling. They are on the skimpy side.
Fair service for México (20 minutes for a guacamole!)
Very nice place though…

Sabrosisimo, no había probado unos tacos así, me encanto el tacontenedor, el de camarón capeado, el lugar esta agradable, música de reggae, realmente es un restaurante de playa.
Las salsas están riquísimas!

Ufff uff uff y recontra uff! Aquí lo que tienen que probar es el burrito de langosta, no importa que tengan el menú más delicioso de toda la avenida Constituyentes, tienes que probar esos burritos. Son lo mejor del planeta y más si lo combinas con las salsas de chile chipotle o de tamarindo.
Todo lo que venden aquí es único, sabroso y exclusivo de Tacontenedor. Desde la birria de raya o mantarraya, los tacos de marlin al pastor y los de camarón a la vinagreta son la gloria. Yo creo que no he probado tacos de marisco tan ricos como los de este lugar. Los precios son justos a la calidad y el buen sabor que tienen. Puedes acompañar con tu cerveza favorita. Todo sabe mejor así!

Caminando por la quinta con unos amigos que vinieron de vacaciones a Playa del Carmen, y como buenas vacaciones, el hambre se multiplica por mil, así que andaban con antojos de comer pescado o mariscos, ya que decían si estamos en la playa, hay que probar estos manjares.
Llegamos a Tacontenedor, es un pequeño restaurante especializado en pescados y mariscos. Tienen una amplia carta para escoger estos manjares del mar, en diversas preparaciones, para que todo el mundo pueda comer, excepto los vegetarianos, es decir yo.
Yo me pedí una michelada bien fría para atacar el calor infernal que hacia y mis amigos pidieron tostadas de ceviche de pescado, un burrito de machacha de marlin y un taco de pescado. Los niños tenían hambre.
Sus vasos son hermosos, con toda la onda hipsteriana para traer las aguas, tras eso me pedí un magojito, que es agua de mango con hierbabuena y jengibre, también tienen agua de limón con fresa.
La fondita tiene toda la onda, a mi me gusto mucho y eso que no como nada del mar, es un lugar ideal para comer rico, beber bien y disfrutar con los amigos, para seguir la tarde noche caribeña.
Una buena atención, es el mejor ingrediente de cualquier restaurante

Aquí lo que rifa es el taco de marisco, de lo que quieras, son exquisitos, no te arrepentirás de nada de lo que pidas. Hace poco los descubrí y me enamoré, no puedo dejar de pensar en ellos. En mi ideal de taco, siempre estaba la carne roja contemplada, pero ahora que conocí Tacontenedor, he conocido la mejor cara del taco en Playa del Carmen.
Te contaré de qué son, hay de pescado que son una delicia, de camarón, de pulpo, de birria de mantarraya y por si no se te ha hecho agua la boca, hay tacos de marlin ahumado al pastor, así con piñita rebanada y toda la cosa. Hay una variedad de salsitas deliciosa que complementa tus tacos como para que quedes feliz, con una sonrisota, ya con tres taquitos te estás llenando, a $ 25 pesitos aproximadamente cada uno, la cuenta sale bastante decente.
Estos tacos se posicionan como los SUPERIORES para mi lista, la combinación de la salsa de mango que es dulcesita junto con la de habanero, hacen una mezcla perfecta y muy exótica, ¡la debes probar!
Tip: Los viernes la chela está a $ 15 pesitos, normalmente a $ 25, igual muy buen precio. ¡VAMOS!!!
