Playa del Carmen has shockingly good food

June 2, 2016

You'd think a place like Playa del Carman would have lousy food, because bad food seems to accompany tourist towns. But it's trivially easy to find super great food there. This is from my favorite Playa restaurant, which is called La Perla. (Click on the pic for more photos.)
