I felt the same way coming back from Ecuador a little over a year ago! Nothing, NOTHING beats the food here in Mexico! Thanks for checking out the video my friend, I hope you can make it over there asap and get your birria! 🏝️🌮😎

[@jjducharme1]

We stopped by Ceviche Corazon twice last year for a shrimp/fish toco fix. Fun spot. Give Los Molcajetes at 90 and 10 a try. Also when down south try El Doctorcito @ 25 & 12 for tacos and a shot of mezcal and a beer. I hit the like button, me only smash when no like or angry

[@theropemonster]

@@jjducharme1 haha love it!! Thanks for gently pressing the like button 😅. I’ll try Los Molcajetes for sure! As far as El Doctorcito.. I’m a huge fan and love their Lobo De Mar acquisition there near Chedraui! That ceviche is 🔥😎🏝️

[@mexsouriman05]

Man, i wish i could still eat like that!! Thanks for the food tips RopeMonster. We have been trying some out-of-the-way places and newly opened places. We are a little saddened by the fact that some places we used to go are now closed. Many shops as well as food. It's great that you are not just promoting yourself but also these businesses and giving so many shout-outs to your friends. Also, we see you looking healthier these last couple videos, so glad to see you are better. My wife is feeling better and we are back to walking the town and eating. Thanks for always replying to our little notes here also my friend.

[@theropemonster]

First of all, so glad that your wife is feeling better! Yes, I’ve noticed that about certain businesses going under… it’s sad but I also look at it as a chance to try new places and explore some new flavors! I do indeed love supporting, patronizing and promoting my favorite spots in hopes to help keep them from going the way of the Dodo 🦤. This has been a rough illness and the cough is lingering, but I’m definitely getting stronger and healthier! Thanks again guys for supporting the channel and for the get well wishes!! It seems that you never miss a video and always comment! ❤️🏝️😎☀️🌮

For me the Taco de harina al pastor con queso at Don Sirloin always hits the spot :) I think it is still under 35 pesos per taco Good one as usual !

Thanks for all your videos! I have a condo close to CTM and 1st Ave and am down there every two months. I was just there this past week and tried El Arabe - soooo good! I'm going to try the taco place on 54th when I'm there next. (FYI sent you a message and started following you on IG too).

[@theropemonster]

@@torre_de_mar El Árabe is definitely a special spot with a great mix of quality and value and the service is excellent! Yes, Ceviche Corazón is so worth it… still can’t believe those fried tuna tacos are only $55mxn! Thanks for checking out the videos and hope to see you around PDC 🏝️☀️😎🌮❤️

Excellent video cannot wait to have the fish tacos! Do you know what they charge for a day pass to your gym? Looks like a nice place...resort has some gym equipment but would be nice to hit a real gym a few times on our vacation! Thanks Ropemonster!

Those fried tuna tacos at Ceviche Corazón are insane!! I had them 3 times last week 😜. I believe Evolve charges $300mxn for a day pass. Thanks for checking out the video my friend 🏝️❤️☀️😎

Cannot beat that price for the amount of food 4sure! That's not terrible for a day pass. Some places here in Minnesota are higher.. Small price to keep the gains 💪!!! Thanks again Ropemonster! Take care!

Go try Los Hijos de la Birria, also on 30 but way south, best Birria I've had in Playa (el compa is pretty good too)

[@theropemonster]

Awesome!! So many people have mentioned El Compa but Los Hijos de la Birria is a new recommendation! Thanks for that.. I’ll be trying both this week 😎🌮🏝️

[@Nate-q8x]

You ever try the birria beside the mega from taco cart called el compa? I tried both an I think el compa could be a Lil better. But great video I love the content, especially stuff that's off the beaten path

Yes I need to hit the new location! The food seemed as good as ever at the OG location though! Thanks for watching 😎☀️🌮❤️🏝️

[@deonlapointe9337]

i have been to cancun and playa del carmen 5 times in the past 4 years , we make this our yearly vacation spot. i am interested in if they have fish markets like i saw in some Asian Countries where you can buy from the fisherman or freshly sold fish that you can take and have cooked? i have friends that live in Mazatlan and there you can buy right from the fisherman coming in and have them cooked for like 100 pesos plus the cost of the fish. We always stay at the Wyndham Altra because it is cheap and really close to 5th street and we finish off in Cancun at the Royalton Chic. La Barracuda is really good if you havent tried that one yet but el fagon and don sirloin is our go to for tacos.

[@theropemonster]

Yes those two spots are excellent taco choices!! As you mentioned with Mazatlán, the fish and delicious seafood is more of a Pacific coast thing unfortunately. The seafood on the Caribbean side is underwhelming at best… no fresh oysters, no fresh Mahi or Red Snapper. Mazatlán, Puerto Escondido and Puerto Vallarta are best for that IMO. Thanks for checking out the video and hope you see you guys around Playa! 🏝️😎☀️

[@deonlapointe9337]

@@theropemonster ok that makes sense as to the fish markets, great explanation. june 3rd to june 10 we will be in the area. june 3rd to june 6th playa del carmen wyndham altra and rest in cancun. i am going to try out your suggestions for tacos this time around. we also like los agua chillies is also a good spot, little high priced but good food.

@@theropemonster The blender is buzzing away as I make a batch of mousse de Maracuja ! Always ready to make more on the spur of the moment for friends ! Is strange that I discovered it here in the south 2002, not as widespread in the north as here Requires Creme de Leite leve (4) condensada de leite (2) and concentrate of Maracuja, half a bottle, blend well in a blender and pour into small cups- fills about 8 cups- let it cool down in the frig overnight and it's ready to eat.

real birria is cooked for hours including bones and fatty pieces so the broth has bone minerals and good fats. Chopped meat mixed with water and spices is not real birria. Calle 30 is not real Birria as example.
