La Frontera - Playa del Carmen

Scam on currency conversion. the flesh was a little dry and. the black beans and rice mixed were good, but there were only 4 bites worth. asked about chips and hotter sauce never came. So what should be 265 before the restaurant. has Iva tax of 39 pastness and added an additional 2.5 US dollars to the bill. ends up at 400 peso paid money, which is more expensive than most restaurants and was, they never brought back my change.

Order caesar salat that said on the menu prepared table page. it wasn't. it came with eisberg salat instead of romaine with a few drops dressing up. garnel on one, we are overcooked as well as the chicken on the other and also quite small. my wife went to the washroom and said it was pretty disgusting. our first note was that it was time for dinner and we were the only ones.

Hubby had steak and said it was perfect, the best he had in years. the personal was attentive, friendly. were colorful, simple, but clean.

We ate in this restaurant after seeing the menu on the street. It was a nice setting on a 1st floor balcony and the food was generally good. What wasn 't good was the constant attempts to extort every last bit of money we had on...us: When looking at the menu the waiter was constantly pressuring us to choose the seafood platter, I 'm sure this was very nice but it was also the most expensive item on the menu by a long way. We ordered one beer and one vodka coke. These were brought out as a 'double ' and a slightly larger beer bottle than usual, neither of which we had asked for. If I 'd realised that we were going to be charged 150 peso for each i 'd have sent them straight back. I haven 't paid more than 65 anywhere else in Mexico. When the bill came they had added on 350 peso in 'tax ' ......This wasn 't mentioned anywhere on the menu and we 've not been asked to pay it since. Unfortunately this was our first meal in playa so I assumed it must be a local tax. Finally ..... the waiter was very upset we wanted to pay in MXN and not USD. He finally agreed to bring us the bill in both and then I could see why ..... They had added approx 40 USD when doing the conversion. This place is nothing more than a tourist trap and a rip-off start to finish. Avoid at all costs.

En la entrada te muestran una carta con precios muy baratos y que son distintos a los que te cobran, a la hora de pagar terminé pagando una comida costosa, casi 35% más de lo que estaba en la carta y te dicen que ahí le cobran "impuestos mexicanos" y servicio, cuando uno hace el reclamo a los meseros, ellos dicen que se le ha dicho al dueño eso y que no la quiere cambiar y cuando le hice el reclamo al que me ofreció los platos en la entrada, descaradamente me dijo que él tiene que pagar impuestos y que tiene familia, en otras palabras, ellos saben el engaño que están haciendo, son unos rateros, aparte de eso, si llevas dolares te lo cambian a 15 pesos (cuando el mercado estaba a 18). Es tan elaborado el robo que no te dan factura porque "exactamente ese día está mala la registradora". Jamas vayan a ese lugar, ni por error, queda al frente del ADO para que no entren.
