" Had an amazing family brunch at Playa Betty's! We loved the variety on the menu, from healthy bowls to indulgent French toast. The service was attentive and friendly. The guacamole setup, where you customize your own, was a fun touch! I will say the vegan options are limited, but the vegan enchiladas were a hit with my husband. Looking forward to our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had high hopes but was ultimately disappointed. The ambiance was fantastic, really bringing California vibes to NYC, but the food didn't match up. I found the tacos bland and the drink menu seemed limited. The staff was friendly but not very knowledgeable about the menu items. I might give it another visit, but I'm feeling unsure. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Playa Betty's was okay. I appreciated the friendly staff, but I left feeling that something was missing. The ambiance is fantastic, but the tacos I ordered just didn’t have the flavor punch I was hoping for. They were decent but not memorable. I'd probably come back to try other menu items since the overall vibe is very inviting. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for a relaxed evening filled with great food, Playa Betty's is the place! From the vibrant atmosphere to the tasty menu items, everything was perfect for a night out. The fish tacos were fresh, and the guac was some of the best I’ve had. The wait staff made us feel welcome and attended to our needs promptly. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard a lot about Playa Betty's before visiting and I was looking forward to it, but I have to say it was a bit overrated. The ambiance is definitely lively, but the food felt just average. I had the burrito and it was kind of bland, and even the salsa didn't pack a punch. I might give it another shot to try something different, but I wasn't blown away. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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.
