" What a fantastic place! The vibrant colors and enthusiastic staff made for a wonderful dining experience. I loved the trendy California-inspired menu. I opted for the nachos and they did not disappoint—super cheesy and piled high with fresh toppings. The drinks were equally impressive. A perfect hangout spot for a casual night out with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the atmosphere at Playa Betty's was lively and appealing, I found the food to be hit or miss. The fish tacos were delightful, but the beans were overly bland and lacked seasoning. Service was decent, but the wait for our food was longer than expected. Overall, I would say it's a fun spot but the food could use some improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved my experience at Playa Betty's! The atmosphere was lively, and our table was right by the window, offering great people-watching opportunities. The chicken enchiladas were delicious; they had the right amount of spice! Our server was attentive without being intrusive, a hard balance to strike. Will definitely be back for the bottomless brunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Playa Betty's while wandering around the Upper West Side and it was such a delightful surprise! The tacos were remarkably tasty and the guacamole was fresh and perfectly made. The bartenders were attentive and the margaritas were top-notch. The overall vibe was laid-back, just what I needed after a long day. I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Playa Betty's for its consistently good food and vibrant atmosphere. The staff is wonderful, always friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely time enjoying their signature margaritas followed by the enchiladas. The flavors were authentic and the presentation was spot on. Highly recommend it to anyone in the area!

" Playa Betty’s is a solid choice if you’re looking for a fun, casual meal with friends. I enjoyed their tacos and the unique twist on guacamole—coming with customizable options was a nice touch. However, I felt the overall flavors were a little muted and could benefit from more seasoning. Still, the atmosphere and overall vibe make it worth checking out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointment encapsulated. I was excited to try Playa Betty’s based on friend recommendations, but alas, my experience fell flat. The ambience was great, but my tacos were cold, and service took far too long. While the drinks were decent, I don’t think I’ll be returning any time soon. Better luck next time, I guess.
