" Playa Azul has the best fish tacos I have ever had! They're perfectly crispy and paired well with a fresh salsa. The staff are always welcoming and the prices are reasonable for the large portions you get. This place has become my go-to for Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Playa Azul is the hidden gem of the neighborhood! The tables are always filled with laughter and joy. Every dish we tried, from tacos to burritos, had impeccable seasoning and was made with high-quality ingredients. I especially loved their salsa, it was perfectly spicy! The ambiance makes it feel like a family dining experience. I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing experience! The ceviche was the best I have had in the area, bursting with flavors. The customer service was impeccable; our server was knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere was vibrant, perfect for a fun night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was average, and it could be a lot better. The nachos we had were stale and underwhelming. However, I must say the staff were friendly and tried their best to make us comfortable. " (*Curated Review*)

" I regret not trying this restaurant sooner! The carne asada was perfectly cooked and seasoned just right. Service was friendly, and I appreciated the casual vibe of the place. My only complaint was that the area felt a bit noisy, which made it hard to hold a conversation. Otherwise, it was a fantastic dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

Archived Reviews (94)

" This is definitely not a five-star location! Yes, the food can be tasty sometimes, but I had to deal with the most inattentive staff I've encountered. They messed up my order and had an odd atmosphere—almost isolating despite the attempts at a vibrant decoration. I don't think I'll be returning after this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My last visit left me incredibly disappointed. The food was lukewarm and didn’t seem fresh at all. I had to wait forever to get the waiter’s attention for a simple request. Unfortunately, I won't be returning as there are so many better options around. " (*Curated Review*)
