THE PERSON BEHIND PLAYA FOOD

Artem
Meshcherkin.

I’m building a food guide to Playa del Carmen by visiting places, taking photographs and keeping notes about what I eat.

PLAYA FOOD is my local food journal. I’m exploring taco counters, torta stands, breakfast cafés and seafood spots, one visit at a time.

I record what I ordered, the prices and the details that stood out. The reviews bring together my photographs, notes and personal scores so you can decide where to go next.

How I put the guide together.

Visit and photograph

Each food stop starts with a visit, my own photographs and notes about the order.

Record the details

Prices, portion sizes and impressions appear alongside the photos. Information from menus or Google Maps is identified where it is used.

Keep the scores personal

My category scores reflect my experience. When I have not recorded a detail or an overall score, the review says so.
