Guidebook for Playa del Carmen
Food Scene
Zenzi has been a longtime favorite for locals and visitors in Playa del Carmen. At night, strings of bulbs light up the palms and incredible bands hit the stage. By day, it’s a divine place to enjoy a refreshing, cold beverage as you snack on appetizers and watch the turquoise waves roll in. Located in downtown Playa del Carmen on Calle 10 and the beach, Zenzi is also known to throw one of the best salsa nights in town. Come for a lesson, have a mojito or two and dance the night away!
