" I brought my family here for dinner last week, and while my kids enjoyed their tacos, I felt the carnitas were a bit on the dry side. The salsa was vibrant though, so it helped! With so many great reviews, maybe I just caught them on an off day. I think I might give it another try soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Playa Azul last week after hearing many great comments from friends. The food was indeed delicious, especially the salsa which had a perfect kick. The tortillas just melt in your mouth. However, I expected the place to have more seating options, and I couldn’t find a spot to sit and enjoy my meal. This is a takeout spot for sure, but the flavor is worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Playa Azul is simply the best spot for authentic Mexican food! Although it's a small place and not fancy, the quality of the food is unbeatable. I always order their burritos, mixing chicharron with carnitas, and it's a flavor explosion in my mouth! The staff is helpful but at times can seem a bit overwhelmed. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fabulous spot for quick takeout! I often get the carnitas and they are some of the best I’ve had. The staff is friendly, but don’t expect a fancy dining experience here. It’s straightforward with great, authentic food. Perfect for a busy weeknight dinner! " (*Curated Review*)

" This tortilleria and market has topped my list for a long time. The taste of their freshly made tortillas is truly unique, and I always grab a few bags to take home. The chicharrones are fantastic, especially with their fresh salsa. Five stars, no doubt about it! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is fantastic! We go there at least once a week for their fresh masa; it’s unbeatable. Making tamales from their masa is a family tradition. The staff is very helpful and always answers our questions. It’s a bit of a drive for us, but we make the effort because the food is worth it. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to Playa Azul since I was a kid, and I can honestly say their carnitas are the best in town! You can taste the love in every bite. Their tortillas are handmade and really take the dish to the next level. It's my go-to place for authentic Mexican food. Although there's limited seating, the quality makes it all worthwhile!
