Los AguaChiles
Playa Del Carmen | $
Los AguaChiles is a very basic, truly local restaurant. A “high end” taco stand is probably the best way to describe it but serves arguably the best ceviche in Playa Del Carmen. Most dishes are tacos with fresh seafood like tuna, shrimp etc.. You have the option between corn, flour or even lettuce tacos which all come with a selection of hot sauces and lime juice. After a few of these and a nice cold cerveza you should be good to go!

Probably the best cervich (seafood dish) in Playa Del Carmen.
I’m sure most tourists walk, or drive by a place like this and say “that place looks like it’s some dudes house” and you know what, I was one of those guys. Then a certain “friend” of mine tells me they serve the best cervich in town. So I gave it a go and she was right….I must have returned at least 3 times that week, always ordering their cervich.
Cervich for those who don’t know is basically a mixture of fresh seafood (chunks of shrimp, fish) diced tomatoes, and fresh lime. The key for me and good cervich is the chunks, I like it when I order something and it actually fills me up a bit. I love everything about their cervich, so much so that when I was unable to leave the house one day because of the “bug” I sent a text out requesting that someone please bring me some cervich from Los Aquachiles!!!

Chido Aguachiles!
Ok so by looking at the main picture, you’re probably thinking…ummmm..yeahh…no thanks!
But in fact you are SUPER CHIDO (COOL) and IN with the locals if you go and eat at AguaChiles.
Take note that the restaurant hours are from 12:30 – 6:30 pm, so it’s really more of a lunch place. I’m assuming the brief restaurant hours are to maintain freshness at the restaurant. All the fish and seafood are super fresh and tasty. You can also choose the extent of spicyness when ordering the type of sauce to top your aguachiles and ceviches. Just in case you’re wondering “aguachiles” is a popular mexican dish that entails raw shrimp, spicy sauce and lots of lime juice!!! Very healthy and apparently very good for La cruda (hangovers!)
Ok so the best part in my opinion…is the dessert. You can either choose between homemade Flan or Chamoy covered apples…..mmmmmmmm absolutely decadent!!!!!! I’m salivating right now as I type this.
