A lovely authentic Mexican restaurant on the beach. Delicious food especially fajitas that you can order with veggies, chicken and prawns. A little bland but could source it up with delicious salsa. The spicy one is really hot, so much it up with regular salsa to normalize the heat. The portions are quite big and may be good enough for two to share. Side of chips and salsa is offered for no cost. The drinks are mostly variety of margaritas and mojitos. Mango chilli margarita is the best which was served with a 50ml of Don Julio dripping in the glass. Very strong drink that is perfect for hot dinner days. The service is impeccable. Pedro is a cashier and a server who has worked here for 33 years. That reflects that this is a home business which cares about it's workers. I appreciate such restaurants and will always recommend visiting them. La playa is a must visit in Pacifica. The devil's is traditional Mexican which reflects authentic Mexican culture and vibe of a decent restaurant great for families and friends alike

La Playa was okay. I was only really disappointed with their chips. They need to be warmed before serving. I had a steak enchilada. The rice and beans were fine. I didn’t have any drinks. The locals seem to like it, they were busy on a Tuesday evening. I saw large pans of food being taken out. I don’t know that I would eat there again. The waitress was nice. It was just okay…

Not a good place to eat Mexican food. There’s better places than this. Please skip this place. Overpriced and not friendly. Table was dirty.

The taco is so good!

$18 for essentially poverty nachos. greasy and processed tasting, how can you taste FAKER than the taco bell a block away? honestly saltines with microwaved cheese-whiz would've been better.

This is a 4 star restaurant but they regularly deal with rushes with grace and keep their head above water. The employees are great and do their best. I came here to give them a 5 star rating after casually observing over a couple hours. Sure they could improve but they CRANK it out when they’re busy and still have a smile

Unfortunately, very bland food. Portions were quite good though.

Amazing place we explored randomly as many of Restaurants were closed as it was Tuesday. We happened to visit this simple yet cosy place. Staff was welcoming. Food was something we never ate before in America. We ordered pasta and fish taco. Surprisingly we found best place to eat in US. Their pasta has amazing flavors, and the quantity is huge. Taco was too good too. Will definitely recommend this place to everyone!!!
The food was for the most part pretty good, some positive and some negative. The beef dishes were good, but the salsa and guacamole were a little bland. The staff was very nice and the service was great. The atmosphere in the restaurant was fantastic and very welcoming, the place looks really nice and the music is great. Fantastic ambience ! Would definatly reccomend, the food is pretty cheap and worth its price !

The food was great! The service was good, would have been better except that they were very busy. We had the beef & cheese enchiladas. The sauce on them were fantastic and seemed to be made in house using authentic methods, not from a can. Atmosphere was great! It was quaint, cozy and a great view Pacifica.

Food was great . We did take out, so service was not applicable. The atmosphere was that low roar of people talking and having a good evening
Parking: It's a typical stip mall nearly on the beach And there is plenty of parking
Not what I expected is not recommended.
