Worried about busting your budget even before your vacation is over? Worry no more! Playa del Carmen has quite a number of fine-dining restaurants but it also has establishments catering to those on a budget.
Of course, if you are on the adventurous side, try the small places along Constituyentes. There are some stalls that offer great antojitos, tacos and comida corrida (a complete meal).
