La Vagabunda

5th Avenue and 26th Street | $$ | Website

Located on 5th Avenue between 24th and 26th street. Owners of La Vagabund offer some history with the restaurant; We are a family of restaurant owners, from Marina di Massa, Toscana, Italy, with more than 40 years of experience in the gastronomy and hotel profession. In the year 1994 we heard for the first time of Playa del Carmen, they told us of a charming little fishing village, with white, Caribbean beaches and a Bohemian atmosphere, soon we felt a deep desire to see that little charming Caribbean village. In the year 1995 we planned a trip of 6 months, passing through Venezuela, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Belize and as our final destination the Mayan Riviera, passing through Tulum and last Playa del Carmen. The first days were unforgettable. Sun, sea and beach, we enjoyed to the last day of our vacation. Since then Playa has changed like many of us, the development that has come has been incredible and everyday a greater number of people who want to move to live in this paradise in the Mexican Caribbean.

One day taking a walk on fifth avenue we saw clients of us of our restaurant in Italy, the surprise was very great, they said to us that they knew somebody who was looking for personnel for the season.

Life always takes us to a point where a decision can change us for the rest of our lives. We decided to take a chance and to challenge our luck and try this new experience.

We began to work at Las MaƱanitas and everything worked very smooth, we were able to buy the licenses and became the owners in a few months. Now our restaurants are among the best in Playa del Carmen.

Our dishes are a mix of Italian, Mexican and international cuisine. Good chefs and well trained waiters give a special touch to our restaurants. Good music, accompanied with a tasty tropical cocktail place our restaurants amongst the best in all of Playa.

Disappointing

I hate to write a poor review because the owners of this place seem really nice and they are often really busy. I only ate here once, but I had a meal with a friend, and everything we ordered was bland and average. The service was very slow, especially considering they had tons of waitstaff on hand. The pricing isn’t too bad, but just isn’t a great value for what they deliver in taste and quality. I hope I’ll see some more positive reviews and have a better idea of what to order if I go again!
