But that's because there's a notice that the roof right now and the other things that is the best that's perfect to go a little bit was crazy it's raining a lot but today that's really clean it's it's the little nuances we have to deal with with living in Paradise you want to be. But I know it's I'm sorry I'm so where are you from
where you from their parents and his parents were on vacation to barb wire and then that's fun and if I can do you're from Argentina where from where specifically on the side so you had a big size it is okay okay so far I like to be here like Seven Mile seven I was living in Cancun and sorry to hear that and then I fell in love with Playa Carmen and I came here because it's it's a beautiful town I feel like a town I live for a long time in a big city
and when I came to your by your comment I I feel like a little family we are getting that you'll run into the same people different places you know you'll be working and obviously we're here in the downtown area in the in the in the tourists on and then we'll be out at the grocery store a little further away and will run into each other they hey what's going on I know you your name what was it on do not disturb and you know what I destroy Mexican named screw up screw up many names even cities I mean they love to where were you you said I was that was not that complex but working
okay so let's talk about let's talk about playing one of the best restaurants in Playa del Carmen plank we're here on a weekend this is Saturday morning brunch right you do Saturday Sunday morning brunch right we have bronze on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday that was Sunday got some Muse live music will you open at at now we are opening at 5 p.m. 5 p.m. and you close at at 11 go to the kitchen but we're open until everybody and everybody is dry bar
if you start from 5 p.m. you have many people that he's looking more for dinner than than
breakfast
okay that's about the dinner that's a really good because it's more romantic that was for about the plank restaurant is more romantic because they are the lights a little bit more down close to the Main Street between 5th Avenue and 1st Avenue and sew in straight and hopefully they hopefully the video does it justice we're out on a patio and there's an inside obviously if you want air conditioning you can be inside but no we want to sweat it out we want to be out here on the patio cuz it's a beautiful house with the roof we have the roof down on this part also that bar that they are okay and also we are pet-friendly you are pregnant people doesn't know I didn't know that either if you're fat is friendly
it depends who are pet-friendly only on the Terrace menu in front of me and I guess I'm going to look at organic garden sea food sampler beef tartare I can't believe I'm reading this without my glasses and the debris so which one which one do I want to have to start my my mail for me for sure that's when I want to stay out of the Sun and then that is served with a form of the Citrix and with a missed call on the top.
it's perfect combination that a little bit and also we don't say that people say that we have a we have a program with where we contact our customers customers clients and basic finish their dinners
very good and they stay safe is the main dishes that the stars are amazing right what kind of restaurant is plank what kind of food do they give us a summary of what what do you expect when you're coming up like
about International International it's only like the appetizer between the song like a little bit of the elect
and about the furniture because that's who we say that's International so I have a little background of like and do you know why we call it blank
and I was going to ask that the reason why is called blank is because all the food used to be served on either cedar planks or on Himalayan salt we still do that right yes I believe some of the dishes are done on Himalayan salt
so that was a very good although I do have a special presentation on the Ritz Auto Workers but we forgot to get a drink as you can see we're sitting in front of us we got some regular orange juice or orange juice and green juice twice a day for I'm a gringo embrace the word that I'm a gringo everybody laughs when I say this but I'm a gringo good old American Boy and the green juice it's Google Verde is it really a chai right it's a chai drink and it's it's it's it's very exclusive to quintanaroo there's different stiff right I know varies around the world but this is a special blend
of things that you can only get here I didn't know he's about the green juice in Argentina big piece of meat
