good food with huge serves.. very casual.
We came in fairly late, 830pm. Ordered 2 burritos and margaritas. The food was hot, delicious and to perfection. All the way from the east coast, I love this place above any other for their vibe, service and delicious foods. Don’t sleep on the super burrito or fish burrito. Yummy! Thank you for having us!
Solid mexican spot for post surfing dinner. Great fajitas, big portions!

La Playa is a restaurant that offers a cultural dining experience with its unique design. Upon entry, customers should be prepared to pay first and then choose their own seating. It is recommended to bring extra cash to avoid additional fees on card payments. The restaurant has separate lines for food and bar orders.
The menu features traditional Mexican dishes along with unexpected items like their highly-rated cheeseburgers and delicious fajitas, which can be ordered with veggies, chicken, or prawns. Customers have noted that the food is consistently delicious and that the portions are quite big, often enough for two to share. The side of chips and salsa is offered at no cost, though some customers have suggested that the chips should be warmed before serving. The drinks menu includes a variety of margaritas and mojitos, with the mango chilli margarita being a standout for many.
The staff, including long-time employee Pedro, is known for their friendliness and eagerness to please, even during busy times. There have been reports of negative experiences regarding the owner's attitude towards both customers and employees. Despite this, the food and service continue to receive positive feedback, with many customers appreciating the authentic Mexican vibe of the restaurant. Prospective customers may want to consider visiting when the owner is not present, but La Playa remains a recommended destination for families and friends alike in Pacifica.
