" I visited Playa Amor during Taco Tuesday, and it was fantastic! The taco selection was vast and all incredibly delicious. Handmade tortillas took the dishes to the next level, and their house margarita paired beautifully. The setting was comfortable, with an upscale vibe. The only downside was the wait time, but I can assure you it’s worth it for the great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m so glad we discovered Playa Amor! We arrived during happy hour, and the drink specials were a steal! We tried various appetizers, including the mole tots and elote, which were both outstanding. The service was prompt, and our server had great recommendations. The only downside was that it got a bit noisy as the evening progressed, but the food alone makes it worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! The carne asada tacos were some of the best I’ve ever had. The restaurant's ambiance is cozy and welcoming, making it perfect for a laid-back dinner with friends. Plus, the homemade tortillas really added a nice touch to the dish. I’ll definitely be back for their seemingly endless happy hour! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Playa Amor for dinner and was very pleased with my experience. The wait was minimal, and the staff were friendly and attentive. I ordered the fish tacos, which were fresh and flavorful. While I loved the food, I felt some dishes could have used a stronger kick of spices to bring out the Mexican heat. Nonetheless, I’d come back to explore more of their unique offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Okay, here’s the lowdown: Playa Amor is my new favorite Mexican spot! They have a unique spin on traditional dishes that are prepared with such care. The shrimp tacos were fresh, and the flavor combination was incredible. I also appreciate how they make their tortillas right in front of you, it's such a nice touch that adds to the authenticity. I can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful experience! I had the chicken mole which packed a punch of flavor. The tortillas really made a difference in the dish. Overall, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, but it did get a bit crowded towards the end of the meal. Regardless, Playa Amor is where I would always choose to come back for Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had an impressive dining experience at Playa Amor! I ordered the chili relleno burger and it was unlike anything I'd had before. The flavor combinations were unique and tasty. The service staff was punctual and friendly. I enjoyed the outdoor seating area; it added a nice touch to our meal. Would recommend to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)
