Stopped by during off peak hours so the vibe was pretty relaxed. There're only a couple of tables. The host was also the server which was fine as we received great service. We arrived just after lunch so we didn't try any of the cocktails off of their full size bar. My guest ordered a seafood burrito with rice, beans and salad and they really enjoyed it; they cleaned the whole plate. I ordered the Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo and it was loaded with jumbo shrimp. The shrimp were tender and full of flavor. It was served with a tasty salad and rice. Both dishes and service were phenomenal. Again, the ambience was a bit calm and quiet, but I believe it was because of the time we were there. The prices were a bit on the low side for what we ordered; my plate was loaded with Jumbo shrimp and my guest's dish was stuffed with seafood. I wouldn't be surprised if they adjust and raise prices. I highly recommend this place and will visit again soon; I'll probably come back during the evening to checkout the ambience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely incredible! La Playa is a hidden gem that truly deserves all the praise! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service is friendly and attentive, and the food—oh, the food—is simply unforgettable. I had the arroz con pollo, and it was hands down the best I’ve ever tasted. Perfectly seasoned rice, tender chicken cooked to perfection, and that rich, comforting flavor that makes you feel like you’re somewhere on the coast enjoying a home-cooked meal. Every bite was full of flavor and love. You can really tell they care about the quality of their ingredients and the experience of their guests. If you’re looking for authentic flavor, generous portions, and a place that makes you feel like family, La Playa is the spot. Highly recommend! 🌴✨

This place keeps me coming back. Between the great service, food, and atmosphere it’s a 1st stop in my friends and I’s bar hopping night. Everything I’ve gotten is tasty! Carlos is awesome at the bar, recognizes familiar faces and ensures an awesome experience with top notch drinks!

It was a great experience. The restaurant is huge, bright, and festive. There was no wait to get seated around 12:40PM on Mon. The food was fantastic. Everything was cooked to perfection. The restrooms were clean. The people who worked there were very nice and helpful. The price was unbelievable. Guess who is going back soon!
