The queues are long, but justifiable. Very good food and well served. Highlights include the quesadilla and the Margarita (very large). Greetings from Brazil Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: MX$100–200 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
I had the best nachos and the best quesadilla in my life in two visits to El Fogón. I had the nachos with steak and the chorizo quesadilla. The friend I was with also loved his food. And each dish I had was around 130 pesos after the tip. The servers are really nice and quick at their jobs. Also very friendly people. It's also a short walk from 5th Avenue, so it's very easy to continue the party from here! Anyone looking for a meal in playa del carmen should stop at El Fogón. Literaly every resource my friend and I consulted for food choices in PDC recommended it, and now we know why. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
