EL CHULETÓN
Welcome to EL CHULETÓN, an authentic gem nestled in the heart of Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Located on Av. 20 entre Constituyentes y C. 16 Nte. Bis, this taqueria is celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere and mouth-watering offerings that embody the rich flavors of traditional Mexican cuisine. Just a short stroll from the beautiful beaches, EL CHULETÓN invites you to dive into a culinary journey that tantalizes the taste buds.
As I entered, the welcoming ambiance was palpable. The scent of freshly grilled meats wafted through the air, promising a delightful experience. Known for their wide range of tacos, I was particularly drawn to the tacos al pastor. Customers rave about the moist arrachera tacos, a true testament to the care and expertise in each dish. The shrimp tacos "Al Pastor" offer a perfect blend of sweet and savory notes, as noted by Monica De Leon, making it a must-try for seafood enthusiasts.
The menu doesn't stop at tacos. The quesos fundidos are a standout feature, offering melted cheese combinations that pair perfectly with freshly made tortillas. I was intrigued by the queso con chorizo, which incorporates spicy sausage into the mix—definitely something for cheese lovers!
Drink options are plentiful, from refreshing agua de tamarindo to a variety of creative mezcalitas. Tiffany C.'s experience reflects the joy of a delightful dinner shared over numerous dishes and beverages. It’s an ideal place for families, where kids can sip on classic horchata while adults indulge in exciting cocktails.
The friendly and efficient service is another highlight, making every visit enjoyable. As Elizabeth Vecchio noted, the speedy, attentive staff complement the delicious food, creating a seamless dining experience. However, not everyone was thrilled, as some found certain dishes less memorable. But even in those moments, the sense of community and the joy of exploring authentic flavors shine through.
In summary, EL CHULETÓN captures the essence of authentic Mexican dining while embracing a cozy, laid-back vibe. With options for everyone and a menu boasting some of the top tacos in Playa, this taqueria is definitely worth a visit. Whether you're craving rich flavors from traditional tacos, melted cheese delights, or refreshing drinks to accompany your meal, you're bound for a truly fulfilling culinary experience.

“ Arrachera tacos are so moist! It’s a chill spot to get some food and drinks. The shrimp tacos “Al Pastor” were my favorite, they were sweet and savory at the same time! ”
“ Delicious food and great service! Enjoyed the nopales with cheese appetizer and the El Chuleton taco! We also ordered shrimp, fish and chop taco plus the al pastor torta. You can order from Captain Fish menu as well. Everything was yummy! They also had a large assortment of drinks to choose from. Kids had horchata and passion fruit agua frescas and adults had mezcalitas - tamarind and passion fruit. Thank you for a lovely dinner! ”
“ Some of the best tacos in Playa. I’ve had the tacos al pastor, with chorizo, and with arrechera, and they all are delicious. The tacos come with onions, cilantro, and salsa on the side, so you can add as much or little of each as you want. The service is excellent, the tacos are reasonably priced, and they take credit cards. ”
“ Authentic Mexican taqueria. Fast friendly service and a menu that is more extensive than other taco spots. These are in the top Tacos in Playa Del Carmen! Don't miss it. ”
“ Honestly it’s alright. I don’t remember this meal that well being extraordinary but it wasn’t bad. So it musta been alright. The steak tacos with cheese is probably what you’ll want to order. I tried both with and without and you gotta get the cheese fried on there. But the pastor tacos was disappointing. ”
“ The best tacos (and sauces) we’ve had in our 3 visits to Mexico!! We ended up going twice on our last day in Playa. Our servers Jenny y Jose (along w everyone else) were so friendly, helpful and hospitable...and this is coming from a couple that was in the service industry for decades. Very highly recommend!! ”
“ Delicious tacos. Very reasonable prices for the area. Staff was friendly and attentive. Menu was in English and in Spanish. Nice tree-lined outdoor patio. Music at a reasonable volume. Very clean. Probably the highest value meal I’ve had in PDC. Highly recommend. ”
“ Incredible good Mexican food. Busy place, but the staff is trying to keep up in good and polite way. We would definitely come back for more delicious food! ”
