La Cueva del Chango

La Cueva del Chango means "Monkey's Cave" in English. I have heard a lot about this restaurant/bar in Playa del Carmen, and this trip I am going to check it out!
It is an open-sided palapa made of woods and natural materials such as stone. Water and greenery contribute to the ambiance of a "jungle" feel.
As far as the food goes--lots of fresh fruit (salads, juices, etc.), homemade rye bread, and freshly made salsas! (Yum!) Traditional Mexican food with a twang (ie: shrimp breaded with Xcatic chili and cinnamon) is said to make for a new experience.
