Los Aguachiles on Postcard

"This Playa del Carmen restaurant takes its name from a traditional Mexican dish known as aguachile : chili-marinated shrimp with lime juice, onion, and sometimes other ingredients that lend it a strong, spicy-citrus flavor. With its open-air setting and laid-back, beachy style, plus a location a few blocks from bustling 5th Avenue, Los Aguachiles is in fact more local hangout than tourist joint. There’s an extensive menu of other casual Mexican seafood, most notably delicious tacos and tostadas (crispy tortillas piled high with traditional ingredients), as well as mezcal cocktails and chamochela ( michelada -style beer mixed with sauces, then rimmed with chili powder and decorated with a shrimp)."

4 of us ate lunch here and pay half of what we would have paid in any other place. The food was absolutely fantastic. We recommend the Hugo Rice (Arroz al hugo) and the Mix aguachiles. We also had the octopus, which was carbon grilled and tasted delicious; 4 different types of tacos (/try the taco with vapor fish) and 2 different tostadas. We also had margaritas and mohitos. The service was very attentive and very quick. The only thing missing on this establishment was AC as it was a very hot day, but nonetheless, 100% recommended

Incredible seafood at a bargain price. Had a terrific dinner served by Marco. Every dish we had was phenomenal with the Aquachiles as the star. Recommend going hungry and trying out numerous tostadas and all the shrimp tacos. Don’t miss out on this place when in Playa

A fantastic Mexican restaurant! The dishes are exceptional, offering authentic flavors, and the service is top-notch. Highly recommended for a delightful culinary experience. -- > The only minor inconvenience was that the tip was not included in the price.

Los Aguachiles definitely had the best fish and seafood I have tried in PDC the few years I have been traveling here. The snapper tasted fresh. Not sure of my waitress's name, but she recommended an excellent appetizer that included shrimp and tuna. It was so good it could have been my entree. The prices were very reasonable as well

Delicioso!! 🤤 get the shrimp agua chile with salsa negra! It’s not as spicy as the salsa verde but super flavorful! Great spot for a bite and yummy drink (try the maracuya “passion fruit” mojito)

We read many good reviews of this place that we decided to try it out. The food was ok. My husband wanted whole fried fish but was not on the menu today. I ordered Camarones Parrillados as was delicious and tasty. I put 3 stars in the atmosphere because a passerby performer stopped by, and honestly, I just wanted to enjoy my meal. I will recommend younto visit and try one of their meny sea food dishes. Staff was efficient and always smiling that in a plus for me.
