We had enchiladas de mar and shrimp fajitas. Very well cooked and prepared, you can taste the individual parts (which does not always happen in Mexican places). Even the rice was very crisp. Loved it. Will come back!!

What a lovely find. Low key vibe with a beach view, the food was great! I had the large salad with chicken and it was delicious! Also perfect if you’re watching you weight!

Four adults with a 4 year old in yow, we were warmly welcomed despite it being about 45min from closing time. Our server was accommodating and funny, too. They brought us free chips and salsa. We ordered four entrees, a pitcher of sangria, and a...Modelo, which we enjoyed while dining on the patio taking in the ocean view. Fajitas came out sizzling on the flat iron, fish tacos were great, and my combo plate did not disappoint. We were the last table, but they kept telling us to relax and don't rush. When the bill came it was only $79. Fed four adults and a child, with drinks, good service, and an ocean view for under $100? Awesome!More

After a full day of biking the Strand, dinner was top of mind as we watched the sunset. From our balcony we couldn’t help notice the traffic in and out of this little gem and decided to skip dinner out and order take out from...here. The best meal we have had on this trip hands down! Would recommend it to anyone!More

Came here for a large group (7) Birthday lunch. They were wonderful! Indulging us with "creative" outdoor seating and even some freas flowers for the table. The food portions are huge and truly yummy and prices are more than fair!!

Delicious food, and I'm pretty picky. La Playita is now my favorite in the country! We are quite a mix, with a vegetarian, pescatarian, and full carnivore. La Playita had delicious choices for each of us, clearly home cooked with love. Indoor, outdoor, and patio...seating, great vibe, friendly and attentive staff, location at the beach, all perfect. The salsa was so good that we went back to get 2 pints to take home with us! La Playita is a 2 minute walk from the main restaurant area at the pier, a hidden gem where 14th street dead ends at the beach. Parking right in front! Open for breakfast, too!More

We had a large group tonight. Had a party of 10. We ate on their back patio. Our server did a great job keeping up with us, pleasant and always accommodating. The tacos were nice and the food came out piping hot. Seemed like a...decent selection of drinks around the table. There is a patio out front with nice seating right off the beach, parking is tight. All in all a nice meal, great company and good service. Enjoyable.More
