The Highlights: Sweet vs. Savory

If you visit on a Thursday, you’re in luck—it’s BOGO (Buy One Get One) day for waffles! [02:02]. Here’s a look at the winning combination of a sweet and savory duo:

1. The Savory: Fried Chicken Waffle

This isn't your average chicken and waffles. The chicken is prepared like a "chicken katsu"—stripped out, lightly breaded, and deep-fried to perfection [02:41]. It’s smothered in a slightly spicy Chipotle barbecue glaze that packs a punch [05:57]. It even comes with a side of fries topped with parmesan cheese for the ultimate savory breakfast [02:48].

2. The Sweet: The "Insta-Waffle"

This waffle is a dessert lover's dream. It’s fluffy, pillowy, and split into sections with different toppings [03:03]. One side features fresh strawberries and Nutella, while the other is topped with a whole Kinder Bueno bar for a wonderful chocolatey crunch [04:16]. It’s so naturally sweet and flavorful that you won't even need to reach for the maple syrup [03:38].

Don’t Forget the Merch!

Before you head back out to the beach, check out their adorable shop. They have shirts and merchandise featuring their happy "waffle guy" mascot—it’s a great way to remember your trip [01:13].

Final Verdict

Chez Waffles offers delicious, affordable food in a great environment. If you’re in Playa del Carmen, it’s a 10/10 recommendation for a satisfying breakfast that won't break the bank.
