My girlfriend and I ate here our last morning in Playa, she was wanting some fresh watermelon juice and I was wanting a hearty mexican breakfast, so here is where we settled. Service was nice, food was good and not over priced. They had a pretty big menu to choose from and seemed to do a good business, which is... More

The mint lemonade is perfect when it's hot. The tortilla soup is unlike anything else I've ever had!

We ate breakfast here twice on our trip to Mexico and lunch at their sister restaurant Las Mamitas (I think) further down on 5th Avenue. Food was lovely, plentiful and tasty. Service was attentive and they accomodated any changes we made to the meals (trust me, not all places in Playa do!). Reasonably priced, we didnt eat anywhere else more... More

There were quite a few choices for vegetarians, and some could have been modified for vegans upon request. I really enjoyed this because sometimes finding that many choices is difficult. The portions were generous ,the service was friendly and timely, and the people watching was entertaining. Best of all - the food tasted great.

I live in Playa 4 months a year, and occasionally find myself on 5th ave because guests/friends WANT to eat on 5th- why, well can't figure that out. So today a friend treated me, and we ended up at Vagabundas. When the bill came- yet again (in Playa) I find myself staring at a confusing bill. They give two totals,... More

The food was so bland and so much more expensive than many other, better restaurants in the area.
