This place was incredible and the owner was so friendly and fun. She was so cute with our baby and such an inviting host. This is the best Jamaican food I have ever had. The ribs and the chicken were so full of flavor, spicy, and tender and juicy. The grilled shrimp appetizer was top notch. I will definitely be back! Maybe even tomorrow!

This place was amazing!! It was right around the corner from where we stayed. We actually popped in about 30 min before they closed the kitchen.
We had some drinks, meat patty and jerk wings. They were so flavorful. You could taste the smoke on the jerk wings and it was the most pleasant explosion of flavor in my mouth.
Don’t miss out on stopping in and grabbing some drinks and wings!
Also very clean and staff was super nice!!

Great food friendly staff. They give you a free birthday shot. The jerk style is spicy but I also think the bbq wings are also spicy. Got the ox tail pasta and jerk chicken dinner. Come for the chicken not the rice or sides. Ox tail is nice. They put too much thyme branches in the oxtail so it feels like your eating branches. But it would be better if they removed them instead of me plucking it out 1 by 1. Overall great experience. Owner comes by and says hi. If you want great oxtail and good chicken wings come here. @ninjaxfang

The food was delicious. I got the jerk chicken plate and it was a big serving, the chicken also had a little kick to it. The drinks and the vibes are strong. They were easily able to accommodate our group of seven, making a reservation ahead of time was very helpful. We went to celebrate my friend’s birthday and they made it special with a surprise dessert along with the traditional Mexican birthday song.

Rockas Jamaican Kitchen is an absolute gem in Playa del Carmen! From the moment we arrived, the vibes were unmatched — warm, welcoming, and full of life. The food was out of this world: authentic, home-cooked Jamaican and Vietnamese dishes bursting with flavor, clearly made with love and attention to detail. You can truly taste the passion in every bite. Stephanie, the owner, has created something very special here, and it shows in every aspect of the experience. We were looked after by Eugenio, who was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. If you’re in Playa del Carmen, do yourself a favor and come here — you won’t regret it. Easily a 10/10!

One of the best dinners I have had in Playa del Carmen ! Everything is cooked to order, great drinks! It’s cash only but they take pesos/USD. Rasta Pasta was fantastic! Highly recommend and will be returning!

Absolutely amazing. Guyanese/Bajan and Jamaican/East Indian mixes here. And we adored it. We split the rasta pasta because it was our last day with chicken and shrimp. Mouth watering. Muy delicioso! Brava! Muy bein!! Beautiful lovely owner and wonderful chefs – server’s are wonderful
Atmosphere is dope – good music, good vibes and one of our favorite non Mexican spots by far. Patties we had to start – they are little smaller so it makes good size for appetizer. Their spin too – Spanish Jamaican fusion

Absolutely fantastic dinner experience. Not only is their food incredible but the staff are so incredibly on top of it and kind. We had the classic jerk wings for an app and that were amazing. I really enjoyed the garlic shrimp dinner. The side veg was incredible. Next time I’m definitely getting more jerk shrimp and meat. My partner had the chicken jerk pasta and absolutely loved it. A nice chill atmosphere for a really good dinner out. Would recommend this place.

Rockas Jamaican Kitchen came highly recommended, and it did not disappoint! I ordered the Rasta Pasta with shrimp, which was suggested by a friend, and it was absolutely delicious. I normally don’t finish an entire plate, but this one was wiped clean, that says a lot! The flavors were bold, creamy, cheesy and had a good level of spice.
My husband went for the Garlic Shrimp with rice and vegetables, a light yet flavorful dish that he really enjoyed. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, and our waiter, Jose, was fantastic, attentive and friendly.
If you’re craving a Cajun-spiced, flavorful pasta or just want to enjoy authentic flavors in Playa del Carmen, this is the spot! Highly recommend checking it out.
