Update on older review: Best Mexican Food in the area, not just Port A. Numerous seafood selections. Friendly staff and excellent service. This place is run the way a restaurant should be run. Crab Enchiladas (pictured) are excellent. Island Pepper (pictured) is an interesting take on a Chile Relleno and equally as good, the fajita steak on it is tender and very favorable. I don't think you will go wrong with anything on the menu. Opens at 5 pm, limited seating and nearly always very busy so expect a wait. Cash only but there's an ATM on the premises.

This was a very excellent restaurant. I have eaten Mexican food in so many very premium restaurants and this was just a wonderful experience. The service and food was so good. Stuffed jalapenos with pheasant , wrapped in bacon, was oh my. The fresh made at the table Guac , amazing. Grilled fish out of this world. Oh and the Margaritas were fantastic. One thought about their unique process to sign up for the restaurant. You have to go and sign up at 4pm for a time. We went at five and make sure your whole party is there. Then at 5 they opened the doors and the lead us to our table ready to go.

Amazing Mexican dishes with seafood flair! This was our first time to visit and it certainly won't be our last. My sister and I ordered the shrimp and crab enchiladas, then split each dish, so that we could try each. Both were incredibly good! All the spices and flavors were perfect - this was some of the best Mexican food I've had in a really long time! Our waitress was super friendly and great with the kids; just the best. Can't wait to return!

The food is really good, friendly and helpful staff. The frozen margaritas were amazing! It is an eclectic little place and there is a line at the door before they even open. Cards are not allowed, so bring cash! Reasonable prices!

Angie made our dining experience wonderful. The table side guacamole was outstanding. Fajitas, seasoned well, however a bit overdone. It is 2025 and not accepting credit cards is really inconvenient. All in all a good place..

The food was excellent. However, the place can get a bit busy around dinner time. You also need to have cash ready since this restaurant currently does not take credits cards. Otherwise, my experience of eating at La Playa has been fine.

Cash only or checks but there is an atm inside and does charge. There will be a wait (our wait was 40 min)but it’s worth it for the food and service. The waiter was great as he was prompt, knowledgeable, and offered suggestions. Appetizer was the Ava of stuffed with crab and was very tasty. It is made for 1-2 ppl. The blackened tuna tacos were perfect and tasted more like steak than tuna. The crab meat enchiladas were also very flavorful and were delicious. The margaritas were so so but for 8.50 I wasn’t too miffed about them. They could be better and have this place be at 5 stars.

We enjoyed our meal and the service was great, until we paid our bill. There seems to be a new trend with some restaurants, this one included. If you pay cash (This one is cash or check only) you don't get your coin change. We were shorted $.21 and when we asked about it, we were told they don't have change. I fully understand it's not a large amount of money but it was still change I was due. I would suggest if you are going to continue this policy that you err on the side of the customer, not your establishment.

We've been loyal customers of La Playa for over 20 years, but our recent visit was deeply disappointing and has us questioning whether we’ll return. While the food remains flavorful and high-quality, we noticed a significant increase in prices paired with dramatically smaller portion sizes. On top of that, several menu items were already unavailable during the opening hour—on a busy weekend. We also feel that space was overwhelmed by large parties. For a restaurant of this size, it might help to limit party sizes to six or fewer to maintain a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere for all guests. We truly hope La Playa can return to the standards that earned our loyalty in the first place.

Food was served warm with barely any seasoning on it. Definitely was not worth the price. Mike is a good waiter that was the best part of eating there. I would normally give a place like this two stars because of the sorry food and high price. Definitely not worth a 30 minute wait. I've had better fish tacos at Long John silver's.

This place has really gone down hill. The usual chaos in this cramped place has increased in a very unpleasant way. We missed the manager Cindy who we knew for years as a server and then as manager and always seemed to keep things running smoothly. We were told she retired, but someone at the table next to us said they fired her after she kicked out some loud, foul-mouthed customers who knew the owner. The food has always been pricey for what it is (lots of beans, rice and tortillas), and is now definitely not worth the terrible atmosphere.
