El Guero Marisqueria Veracruzana

All the staff were so friendly and the food was amazing! Loved the crab nachos! They even gave us complimentary crab soup which was amazing as well! My husband said that was the best margarita he's had in Mexico! Amazing experience.

This restaurant had good reviews, and I wanted Pulpo but they did not have it. The service was not the best, they brought us the food with no silverware. The food ended being good.

El Guero was recommended to us as a great spot for seafood in Playa del Carmen and we were surprised when we realised it was on 5th Avenue, albeit at a less busy end of the street.Staff were welcoming and attentive from the start. We arrived in the early evening, were seated quickly and given a glass of seafood broth and a bowl of tortilla chips. We ordered a plate of ceviche and snapper. The ceviche was outstanding - really fresh, with a lovely, sharp citrus flavour and a lump of avocado (avocado makes everything better). This dish alone would be enough to bring us back. The fish meal wasn't so memorable, alas. The fish itself, snapper, was sliced paper thin and had little flavour. It was decorated with overpowering slices of fried garlic and thin strips of what we think might have been fried red cabbage but we're not sure. There was, however, a pile of mashed refried beans on the plate that tasted amazing - they saved it. We couldn't fault the service here and the location is nice, away from the hordes but with enough foot traffic that it's a good spot for people watching. Come for the ceviche!

Delicious seafood, the food is well prepared and authentic. The restaurant is clean and this place had some of the best service I've ever experienced and that's saying a lot considering how hospitable the locals are. My wife and I loved the shrimp cocktails! We went multiple times during our stay. Definitely worth the visit!

We spent an entire week walking up and down 5ta Ave and unfortunately for us, found this place on our last day there! It was by far the best prices, tasting and freshest seafood to be found. The service was superb and the food delicious. We were there with my two feisty teenage sons who are very picky, they loved it as well. If we would have found it day 1, we would have been back at least 2-3 more times! Can't say enough!
