Frommer's Review

If I want a steak in Playa, this is where I go. (Well, actually, I would try the address listed below in hopes that the restaurant pulled off the move as planned, but this being Mexico, I would be prepared to find it back at its old location on Avenida 10 between 24 and 26.) The owner is an Argentine who has been living in Mexico so long, he's gone Mexican. But the food is faithful to his native land: steaks, good empanadas, and southern-style pastas, and you can't go wrong with any of the soups. For dessert there are crepes and flan.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
