" What a fantastic place! I went to La Playa for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The tacos were without a doubt among the best I've ever had, bursting with flavor and freshness. Service was friendly and attentive. I feel like I found my new favorite taqueria. I can’t recommend La Playa enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Playa has earned its spot as my new favorite place to grab breakfast. Their tacos are unlike any I’ve had; they're not just about filling but about unique flavors and quality. I specifically loved the al pastor taco which was juicy and well-seasoned. The service was friendly but a bit slow during busy hours, which is expected. Overall, the food makes up for any service mishaps, and I highly recommend eating here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot emphasize enough how delightful the margaritas are at La Playa! They're expertly made and go perfectly with whatever you order. The tacos were crispy and stuffed generously, making for a fulfilling meal. Service was friendly, with staff eager to make your experience as good as possible. A little bit of a wait for food, but nothing disruptive. I found my new favorite place for Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't stop thinking about the incredible seafood dishes at La Playa! Their shrimp cocktails are heavenly, and the sauce they use has just the right kick. I also enjoyed everything about their vibrant atmosphere. The staff was extremely polite and engaging as well. It's definitely one of my go-to places for delicious Mexican cuisine. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to La Playa with friends and we all had a great time. The vibe was lively and the music made it even better. As for the food, I really enjoyed the flavor of their ceviche, and I loved the variety of tacos available. They tasted authentic, but I wish the portions were a bit larger. Overall, a decent place to grab a meal if you’re in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at La Playa wasn't what I had hoped for based on the reviews I've read. The chips I received were stale and the huevos rancheros were overcooked, lacking any real flavor. The waitstaff was friendly but a bit inattentive which was disappointing. Overall, I can't recommend this place when there are better options nearby. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Playa never disappoints! Each time I’ve dined here, I've found the food to be consistently fresh and flavorful. The shrimp tacos are to die for, and I love how generous they are with their portions. Service can vary, but I usually have a great experience. This is hands down one of the best places for authentic Mexican flavor in Austin! " (*Curated Review*)
