El Nativo Playa del Carmen is a popular place to eat. People love it for its affordable prices, tasty homemade food, and healthy options.
The restaurant is especially known for its delicious juices. Every morning, many people line up to try the different juice blends.
For example, if you are recovering from a cold, try the Green Juice. It has cactus, grapefruit, celery, parsley, and pineapple.
If you need more iron in your diet, the Indio Mora is a great choice. It contains spinach, kiwi, strawberry, and orange juice.
The juices are the main draw, but the menu also offers a variety of impressive dishes.
A Beloved Franchise in Playa del Carmen

El Nativo has several locations. One is at Avenida Juárez and Carretera Federal, and two others are on Avenida 30, next to Constituyentes, across from the DAC grocery store.
The restaurant started with only one location, but it became so popular that they opened another one next door to handle busy days.
My favorite location is the newest one. It has a second floor with a high ceiling, which makes it feel fresh. You can also enjoy the colorful décor and see the street view.
A Tasty and Healthy Menu Ideal for Everyone

The menu has a wide selection, including guacamole, chicken fajitas, and a tasty chicken soup that is great for hangovers or cold days. The chicken soup is a large portion that leaves me feeling full.
For those who want a healthy option, the "pechugina" is a grilled chicken breast served with rice and salad, cooked just right—juicy and tender.
If you prefer something fancier, try the salmon. El Nativo also has a delicious fish fillet for just 158 pesos and tasty shrimp for 228 pesos.
Taco lovers can enjoy options like the Chef's tacos, which have marinated skirt steak, bacon, mushrooms, manchego cheese, beans, and avocado, all for only 180 pesos.
Other highlights on the menu include quesadillas, tortas, and vegan choices like grilled vegetable tacos with soybean germ on flour tortillas for just 130 pesos.
Breakfast fans will be happy with hotcakes, made-to-order eggs, soups, salads, and many other tasty dishes, all at reasonable prices.
Don’t forget about the chilaquiles, a classic Mexican dish that is always satisfying.
What makes El Nativo special is its affordable prices and homemade-style food, making it one of the favorite restaurants in Playa del Carmen.
