Nestled on Calle 38 Nte in Gonzalo Guerrero, this restaurant has quickly become a go-to destination for both locals and tourists alike, thanks to its exceptional fusion cuisine that beautifully blends traditional Mexican flavors with exotic twists.

As I stepped inside, I was immediately struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere, complemented by live music that added to the dining experience. The ambiance was not just pleasant; it felt alive, beckoning food lovers to indulge in a feast for the senses.

During my visit, I was keen to sample some of the highlights that patrons rave about. A standout dish was the tacos with octopus, recommended by Guillaume. The octopus was grilled to perfection, providing a subtle smokiness that paired beautifully with vibrant garnishes. I also couldn't resist trying the marlin toast, which brought a perfect crunch to the meal and highlighted the freshness of the sea. Each dish felt like a little celebration of flavors, crafted with care and precision.

The grilled sea bass, praised by both Nigel and SRS, was truly a masterpiece. Cooked to a delightful flakiness and seasoned to enhance its natural taste, it was a dish that would impress any seafood lover. The guacamole with fish cracklings was another standout; its creamy texture and crunchiness offered a delightful contrast that left me wanting more.

My server, Carlos, brought a touch of New York sophistication to the table, ensuring that every need was met with a smile.

We just had dinner here tonight and it was delicious. The guacamole with fish cracklings, tuna dish and the sea bass as our main meal were all prepared wonderfully and tasted great. The service was top notch and we loved the ambiance and the live music was excellent as well. Highly recommend as a newer place to try in Playa.

Amazing food, drinks ambience & live music. Brunch was top tier and saw so many amazing plates coming out. Definitely had me salivating for my next trip. The live music by Rosie was incredible as she sung vocals and played the saxophone and flute entering the crowd. Definitely my new go to for brunch on Calle 38th.

This was my 4th visit. Carlos, our waiter was brilliant and everyone at the table really enjoyed the food. I was happy to see they stole chef Ursula from another restaurant Portions were generous and I look forward to introducing more of my friends to Hierba Santa 38. At lunch I tried their guacamole and aguachiles and will order it again for sure.
