Tropical Restaurante

Excellent place food was good and the price was right. I would stick to the Mexican food. I ordered the plater Yucatecan. It’s a pork, meat, and shredded seasoned chicken. Bartolo was my server. He was helpful, friendly and funny.
I had also drank amores tequila. Ask for the chilli powder. Overall I’d give tropical a 9.5 our of 10
***update**** it’s been two days since I have eaten at tropical restaurant. I have not gotten sick and I was able to digest my food.

The fish here was spectacular. Fresh and grilled beautifully! We found the service a delight and we weren’t hassled to come in. It’s a great value place, and the atmosphere is lovely too.

The establishment didn’t really call our attention but after looking at the menu we decided to continue our «Tour of Ceviche.» The ceviche was good for the price. Very fresh and tasty. Sat upstairs in the balcony and had a great time. The beer came w/​frosty mugs and 2 different salsas that were good.

Avoid this place at all costs! Stumbled here for dinner tonight with a group of friends and boy are we regretting it. Between the six of us, we ordered 4 fish dishes (whole fish, 2x cilantro fish, and grilled fillet), one lobster dish, and one seafood with rice. The «best» was probably the seafood with rice because of the broth. None of the seafood tasted fresh. Everything was over cooked and tasted chewy or mushy.
The only slight upside are the drinks. Mojito, The Tropical, and strawberry daiquiris were all pretty good. The mango juice was more of a ice slushie with a hint of mango. The orange juice was fresh and tasted good.
Oh and the icing on the cake was wifi didn’t work and they didn’t accept credit cards.

Great food, great service, great vibe. The restaurant beautifully spills out on to the cobbled street. The seafood platter (lobster, prawns, calamari, fresh catch) perfectly grilled with a side of garlic butter and chaya soup … some of my favorites here.

The best Mexican Food in Playa Del Carmen. The best chips and salsa… The best margaritas and mojitos.
The service staff is incredible friendly specially Alfredo…
I can eat there every night.

I went here on the first night of my vacation. I enjoyed the experience. The food was fresh and steak tacos were delish. Take advantage of their 2 for 1 cocktails specials. I tried the margaritas and they were excellent and strong. Not watered down.
Our waiter Alfredo was a sweetheart and suggested a few nightclubs we could check out throughout our stay. Good place, can’t really go wrong. I would recommend to anyone.
