Los Aguachiles in Playa del Carmen stands out as a must-visit seafood restaurant, celebrated for its vibrant flavors and fresh ingredients. Located conveniently in the heart of the city, this gem has garnered positive attention from both locals and tourists alike. Guests rave about the remarkable aguachiles and ceviche, with many pointing out the expertly grilled octopus as a highlight in their dining experience. The service at Los Aguachiles is frequently praised, creating a welcoming atmosphere that enhances the overall enjoyment. Regulars, like Felix G, return time and again, drawn by the consistent quality of the food and drinks. While patrons like Regina Wong occasionally find menu items, such as crab, unavailable, the restaurant compensates with a diverse selection that includes perfectly cooked fried fish and tantalizing fried squid. Notably, the drink offerings, especially the house-made margaritas, are a fan favorite, made with fresh fruits rather than pre-made mixers, which enriches the dining experience. Aabram Tierranegra highlights the lively ambiance, often complemented by live music, adding to its appeal. Overall, Los Aguachiles is more than just a meal; it’s an experience you won’t want to miss while in Playa del Carmen.

My second time here. Last year we ate crab. Unfortunately, they didn't have crab on the menu today.

Amazing service, the aguachile and ceviche were great, same as the fried fish, the squid was fantastic. The elotes were a bit burnt but also great. Must go in Playa del Carmen

Always love to eat here, we have come back multiple times over different trips. The aguachiles are obviously one of the highlights. We also really loved the octopus as well--grilled perfectly! We will be coming back again.

This is one of my favorite restaurants, only a few minutes walk from my condo in center of Playa del Carmen. I go here every time I’m in town. Good service and excellent food and drinks.

I honestly don’t understand how this place has 4.4 stars, it should have 5 all across. As a tourist you obviously get pulled left and right from restaurants for you to dine with them, but I asked a local for a genuine opinion on good food and ambience and they suggested Aguas Chiles. It did not disappointed! Fresh catch of the day and the drinks are sooo fresh. 16 bucks for a liter marg made out of fresh fruit???!?! I’ll take that any day over a syrupy ass drink from a chain restaurant. As I’m typing this a band just pulled up and is now providing the music vibes wow. I may be slightly buzzed but I’m having an amazing times yall should definitely come by I know I am next time I’m town.

Place is really delicious. The vibe is easy going and casual, just what I was looking for. Had the grill shrimps and aguachile with black sauce. Washed it down with a soursop mojito. Both dishes were excellent. The location of this place is ideal as well. Close to the main hotels and Quinta Avenida. Would def come back. Spent 1300 mxd or roughly 64.

The pulpo was just the best I’ve had—go & try it! (I had the pulpo asoleado). Also the shrimp aguachile tostadas were amazing!...as a family visit, we tried many other dishes—all of us were happy!!

The grilled octopus here was great!! Best I had on my recent trip! It was cooked perfectly where it wasn’t overly chewy. It was just crispy enough as well. They have great deals on other tacos and some other food. Got a great meal and will definitely come back!
