This is a beautiful bar. The bartenders are so knowledgeable and carefully make the drinks to perfection. When our drinks was served to us, the bartender actually came out from behind the bar and explained to us what we were drinking. Just seeing the passion...he had made the already delicious cocktails taste better.More
The drinks, food and place were nice. The problem was the servers. They were trying to sell you the most expensive thing they could. You ask for water and they give you the imported most expensive water in the menu. Of course, tap water was...not offered. And so on, with everything.More
First time eating at Trujillos. My wife and I found the food and service to be excellent. I think it's one of the best restaurants in Playa del Carmen! The ambiance is also very nice.
I SO wanted this place to be exceptional. Came with a group of eight with a reservation. We were seated promptly at a cool table away from the bar. Great vibe, great atmosphere. Service wasn’t bad, but not super attentive either. That’s okay, we can...adapt. Our waiter mentioned when we ordered entrees that things were served “family style”. We didn’t take too much note of this at the time. Apparently family style means the entrees will appear whenever the kitchen finishes them or feels like making them. I don’t believe anyone’s dinner came out at the same time as anyone else’s and one dish (salmon, can’t be THAT difficult) took well over an hour. I think that dish was forgotten entirely until we inquired. To be fair, we didn’t pay for that after a gentle complaint. If you’re a twosome or maybe four, give it a shot. The food is good, and the vibe is cool. If you’re a larger party I just can’t recommend this to you at all.More
I wish I could say more… we really didn’t get to enjoy anything. My husband and I walked here from our condo on 52nd & 5th. We left our condo wanting to try out this restaurant that’s been recommended to us. We arrived to your...empty restaurant at 630 on Wednesday 17th of August. I approached the attendant at the entrance to your restaurant with the chain and asked for a table for 2. I was holding a 16 oz yeti with a straw. It was probably 1/4 full or so from our house. Walking I was trying to stay hydrated in this summer heat. He told me I couldn’t bring my cup inside… I explained it was just water and opened it. He asked if we were going to drinking and then eating and just drinking. I said both as we were there for dinner. He said we could have 1 of the 2 front tables to the left and explained that I needed to finish the water. Chugging my water… I started heading to to the table he directed us to when another employee told me I couldn’t have my cup. Obviously this cup rule is serious. So we left. Why you would want to turn local business away from your restaurant over a little water is beyond me. We literally walked down the block closer to the beach and enjoyed a fabulous dinner with my water at Milos. We won’t be retuning to your unfriendly and unwelcoming restaurant.More
It is on 38th on a very pretty street with many trees and greenery. The place has great mescal drinks but they are expensive here as well as the food compared to other local restaurants. It’s worth a visit as ambience is good . Food...was okMore
My wife and I are from NYC and this bar program rivals the best bars in our neck of the woods, by and large the best cocktails in Playa del Carmen. We went during the beginning of the night and had a chance to chat...up Muffin, the bar manager, who's creativity and passion for cocktail design is clearly evident in the genius drinks on the menu. Shoutout also to our bartender Ricardo who recommended the best mezcal cocktail of all time (The Tortuga). That's all on top of the food which is wood fired magic. Don't sleep on this spot if you're in town even for one night.More
Arrived on time for an 8-30 reservation to be told the restaurant is closed because of the rain despite other guests eating there. Didn’t bother calling us and pretended not to speak English.
Just finishing dinner. What an amazing experience. Fantastic ambience, wonderful music, and food is amazing. We had the cartibean chicken and the seared Tuna. Both were really good. The service is exceptional with attentive set ice by all. Strongly recommend.
Fantastic atmosphere. The food was excellent — especially the Caribbean Chicken. Great mixology. Loved the Mezcal cocktails. Great, attentive service. What more can you want?Highly recommend.
Trujillos has the best drinks! If you enjoy craft cocktails this is the place to go! The atmosphere and staff are amazing!
Excellent food, wonderful atmosphere, great service. You are eating surrounded by foliage, and it has wonderful authentic food.
We keep coming back because the cocktails are a work of art, and the food is always good. Cristian, one of the bartenders, is always attentive and makes us feel at home.
The place is mystical; inside the jungle you can enjoy a unique food, with combination of ingredients and flavors that you can’t find in other restaurant. The service amazing and the music is spectacular. Highly recommended
It was a stormy late weekday night. This is not a horror story, Trujillos is mostly outdoors and everyone was getting wet except for a few tables and bar seats. A server went above and beyond and setup an umbrella for my wife and I...at the bar. The bartender served us delicious and beautiful cocktails and then took our food order. The chef had to restart the grill as we ordered our food Late. The food was delicious and the presentation beautiful. Highly recommend this place.More
