\"TransformationsWhat do tacos have to do with Playa del Carmen real estate<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Well, consider this.\u00c2\u00a0 Downtown Playa del Carmen, right in the heart of it all, at the corner of 20th Ave. and 4th St., there is a local taco shop, with covered outdoor seating. It is a “not so nice” little red building with plastic red chairs and tables. While it’s definitely a lower-end local place, the tacos are simply amazing!<\/p>\n

Whether they are the best “tacos” is a point which would depend on personal taste – but they are certainly, in my experience, the best “barbacoa” in Playa. Barbacoa is deliciously roasted very tender lamb or beef. It is often served with “consume” – the drippings from the roast.<\/p>\n

\"TransformationsA Different Playa del Carmen<\/strong><\/p>\n

This taco shop is a feature of the old town of Playa del Carmen, when it was still a fishing village on the beach where tourists on their way to Cozumel might stop for lunch while they waited for the ferry.<\/p>\n

It is also typical of the old south half of downtown, which is strikingly different from the resorts, luxury beachfront condos, golf communities and even the newer, Italian-style north half of downtown.<\/p>\n

\"PlayaChange is Happening as You Read<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because of its superb location – close to the beach, the shops of Fifth Avenue, the nightlife, grocery stores, etc. – this south half of downtown is undergoing a major transformation.\u00c2\u00a0 The simple old homes of fishermen (many of which were once quaint, but are now suffering from some neglect) are being replaced by boutique hotels, luxury\u00c2\u00a0Playa del Carmen condos for sale<\/a> and international shops.<\/p>\n

For this reason, it currently offers a beautiful balance of comfortable living and access to the local charm and village style of Playa del Carmen – such as these barbacoa tacos.<\/p>\n

\"TransformationsWhat’s Going to Happen to These Tacos?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I predict that as the transformation continues, much of the older, poorly maintained properties of the south end will disappear in favor of international luxury.<\/p>\n

However, I also predict that some of the more appealing features of the old town – like these tacos and similar items – will remain.\u00c2\u00a0 This will give the south end charm, combining luxury with local flavor in a way seldom found.<\/p>\n

\"Mexico<\/a>\"Transformations\u00c2\u00bfQu\u00c3\u00a9 tiene que ver la barbacoa con los bienes ra\u00c3\u00adces en Playa del Carmen<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Bueno, en general no existe una relaci\u00c3\u00b3n estrecha, simplemente es importante se\u00c3\u00b1alar que la gastronom\u00c3\u00ada nacional se disfruta al m\u00c3\u00a1ximo en toda la Riviera Maya. Desde los tradicionales tacos al pastor y asada, a tacos de carnitas, mariscos, barbacoa y birria. Existen por todos lados restaurantes o taquer\u00c3\u00adas con la saz\u00c3\u00b3n de todas partes de la rep\u00c3\u00bablica. Siendo una ciudad con una gran cantidad de migrantes nacionales, la variedad de sazones es realmente variada.<\/p>\n

En cuanto a barbacoa se refiere, me gustar\u00c3\u00ada recomendarles un peque\u00c3\u00b1o establecimiento en la avenida 20 esquina con 4. Sin temor me atrever\u00c3\u00ada a decir que son los mejores tacos de barbacoa de todo Playa del Carmen. Aunque esa decisi\u00c3\u00b3n se las dejo a ustedes.<\/p>\n

\"TransformationsDesarrollo de Playa del Carmen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Esta tradicional taquer\u00c3\u00ada de barbacoa es el claro ejemplo de lo que alguna vez fue Playa del Carmen. No hace mucho, escasos 20 a\u00c3\u00b1os, Playa del Carmen era un simple pueblo pesquero que uno visitaba para tomar el ferry a Cozumel. Hoy representa uno de los destinos tur\u00c3\u00adsticos m\u00c3\u00a1s importanes del pa\u00c3\u00ads y el mundo. Lo que antes eran calles de terracer\u00c3\u00ada y peque\u00c3\u00b1as casas humildes hoy son extensos corredores de Hoteles y Resorts de lujo, as\u00c3\u00ad como enormes complejos inmobiliarios. La cara de Playa del Carmen ha cambiado.<\/p>\n

Gracias a su ubicaci\u00c3\u00b3n privilegiada, hermosas playas, la creaci\u00c3\u00b3n de su famosa Quinta Avenida con restaurantes, caf\u00c3\u00a9s, tiendas, boutiques, bares y vida nocturna, y al gran desarrollo inmobiliario, lo que antes eran calles des\u00c3\u00a9rticas hoy son hermosos complejos de departamentos en venta en Playa del Carmen.<\/a><\/p>\n
