The Chile Colorado is SUPERB! They don't have it very often. It should be a regular on the menu. Equally good is their Carne Asada Salad. It's huge, has lots of meat and avocados 🥑. Don't forget to try their Chicken Tortilla Soup. Another winner!!!!

“Best tostada ever”
-my girlfriend
I’ve been here several times and consistently get great service and delicious food, prepared as requested.
Prices are very reasonable, portions are generous, and overall experience is good. My only criticism is the noise level indoors. When the restaurant is full it’s louder than I like, but I don’t hear others fussing about it so it might just be me.

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.
