The Lost Tiki: Reviews & Ratings
One of my favourite places in Playa del Carmen. The cocktails and food are some of the BEST in Playa! Irais behind the bar gives the best recommendations just get what she says and enjoy KFC Sliders and all the tacos (pork belly!) are amazing.
Great bar with a nice atmosphere! The staff was super friendly, and the food and drinks were really good. They were setting up for a live music concert with guitar and singing, which looked promising, but unfortunately, we had to leave before it started.
The staff here are very attentive and the food was great. They had a Cantonese pork belly taco that was probably in the top 3 things I ate while on this trip in the Yucatan for 2 weeks. GET THIS TACO, you won’t be disappointed. I overall I thought the drinks were pretty good but had some type of interesting taste. I think it was the mezcal, which is certainly an acquired taste. Even after doing two mezcal tastings in Oaxaca, I’m not sure I like it. but that’s on me. There was live music and overall just good vibes.
This place has an incredible atmosphere, amazing drinks, live music some days, and AMAZING tacos. I truly don’t think I’ve had better fusion food in my life. I highly recommend this place for its authentic, well-crafted take on Asian-Mexican fusion. Our waiter Alejandro was attentive and so kind. Definitely take the time to try here! The Queso mac & cheese was amazing too!
We were thirsty and stopped by just after the bar opened. We ordered cocktails, which were fantastic. We also decided to order food and we split bang bang shrimp and sliders. Both good. Being early it was quiet, we talked about returning later in the evening when things were jumping, but it didn't work out. We'll definitely visit again next trip.
Absolutely INCREDIBLE blues music the night we went - musicians, servers and all of the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The cocktails were fun and original at a fair price. Great vibe, would definitely recommend as a visit away from 5th Ave.
Great spot for delicious bites, fun drinks, or a flavorful fusion meal! Been here a few times now, and the tacos and edamame have become some go-to favourites. The atmosphere is fantastic, with great drinks and live music at night. The service is always friendly, and the place has a lively vibe without ever feeling overcrowded. A must-visit for anyone looking for a fun yet affordable spot near the tourist areas!
We had a lovely time at Lost Tiki after wandering around PDC all day. We tried the Beach Bum, the Banana Co, and the Funky Monkey and they were all delicious original tiki drinks! I’ve been to quite a few of the “famous tiki bars” in the US and this place did not disappoint. Service was also great, everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely be back when we visit again!
