" Having traveled to Mexico several times, it is rare to find authentic tacos in the Northeast, but Playa Taqueria does not disappoint. The flavors are spot on, especially their grilled chicken. The cozy environment and unpretentious vibe made for a lovely evening out. Can’t wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Playa Taqueria and was delighted with the authenticity of their menu. The flavors were vibrant and true to traditional Mexican cuisine. My favorite was the carne asada taco, which was juicy and well-seasoned. The staff made sure we were comfortable, and their service was prompt. Definitely already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're ever in Montclair, make sure to check out Playa Taqueria! The tacos here are bursting with genuine flavors. The shrimp taco was succulent and piled high with toppings. The owners took the time to greet us and made us feel welcomed. The only thing I can complain about is the limited seating but it shows how popular they are! " (*Curated Review*)

" Playa Taqueria is a delightful addition to the Montclair dining scene! I've dined here multiple times, and every visit has been memorable. The fish tacos were prepared perfectly—crispy, fresh, and served with a zesty salsa that elevated the whole experience. The owners are incredibly nice and often check in to ensure everything is up to par. The only downside is that the seating is limited, so sometimes it can be tricky to find a spot. Nevertheless, I absolutely recommend trying it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot express how much I love Playa Taqueria! Their dedication to authentic flavors keeps me coming back. The shrimp nachos were generous in portion and delightful! Every bite was full of texture and taste. The only drawback was that they could use a bit more variety in their beverages. Still, five stars seems fitting! " (*Curated Review*)

" What can I say? Playa Taqueria exceeded my expectations! We tried multiple tacos, and each one was better than the last—full of authentic spices and freshness. The place is cute with a relaxed vibe. The only miss was their dessert selection, but everything else was spot on. I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Playa Taqueria has restored my faith in finding authentic Mexican food outside of California! Their fish tacos are perfectly balanced with toppings and spices that remind me of my favorite spots back home. The warm chips and salsa were the perfect starter. I appreciated the size of the portions, too. I'll definitely be back to try their other offerings! " (*Curated Review*)
