Cheap and delicious - Edit
Small place and despite two staff on duty, service was slow and they seemed very uninterested. However, the price is really good for such a touristy area, and the falafel plate and pita were very tasty. It's also nice that you can order just half a pita if you're not very hungry.

Cons: Service wasn't great, Place could do with a bit of a clean

Great - Edit
This is the best falafel I’ve ever had, it’s also really good value for money. The hummus was not to my taste(a little bit bitter) but I really enjoyed my meal.

Not sure what all the fuss is about… - Edit
The food was good but I’ve definitely had better falafel elsewhere! Maybe this is the best falafel in the area which is why everyone raves about it so much?

You get what you pay for - Edit
I won’t even try to cushion it, this is the most flavorless middle eastern food I’ve had in years. As a vegan, you can pretty much depend on falafel and hummus world wide, and it’s no where close to my favorite cuisine, but it’s always there and innately packed with flavor. This however, is just rather bland by EU and US standards. I’m not sure how or why, but it just was.
Read moreThe upside is that it’s super cheap and hefty, so you really get a lot, which is great. I just wish it actually had any flavor. Also, it’s a small place with two workers, so the attention is nil when it’s busy.

Full plate makes me full - Edit
Had a 115 pesos full plate several times here. Always made me full. good taste. Good, polite staff. The prices are reasonable.
Read moreSometimes they cooked falafel greasy.
The tables need to be kept clean after use.
I was told ALL menu is vegan (pita bread is vegan too)
I Will come back for sure.
Added:
I recently ate in the store. The lady scammed me. I ate here many times and never scammed in the past. So sad. In playa almost every place is scam.
So minus 3.
The falafel Balls got smaller.

Very good falafel - Edit
Taste of falafel was nice, same for the hummus and salad. The fallafels were very small and also plate came with small pita bread. Generally chips took majority of the plate which was disaapointing. I would go again, but don't expect fireworks. #Veganuary

Best falafel place ever! - Edit
This place was my saving grace while I was in Playa for a week. I was running out of money travelling Mexico when, lo and behold, I stumbled upon this amazing restaurant a short walk from my hostel. Not only was the food cheap ($4 for a big falafel and salad pita) but it was also delicious and the staff were all so lovely and friendly. I had the falafel pita, the hummus plate, and the falafel burger multiple times. Seriously, $5.50 for a way better burger than what I would have gotten for $12+ in any other vegan restaurant in Playa.

Perfecto! - Edit
Everything was amazing! I got the “full plate” and asked if they could add more salad instead of fries. They gave me a grande portion! Best part was the falafel: crispy on the outside and perfectly moist on the inside. Was so delicious we ate it all before I could get a photo.
