Neighborhood Social is so bomb! Fresh locally sourced ingredients with a full farm to table aspect. Very delish and family friendly! Everyone is friendly and welcoming!

Found La Playa thanks to their amazing Yelp reviews. We visited on 10/8 which unfortunately was their last day in business at this location.Like my fellow Yelp family commented- service was super friendly and helpful and the restaurant clean. We arrived about 1130 and there was already a line out the door.In all:5/ 5 Hot chicken sandwich- the biscuit was perfection! Crisp on the outside yet warm and delicate on the inside. The chicken breast was seasoned perfectly and delicious!5/5 Shrimp and Grits- my husband couldn't stop talking about this and claims it could be the best shrimp and grits he has ever had. Grits had a nice spicy kick- with just enough heat to impart flavor and not kill you. 5/5 Cafe de olla- I had this served hot. Excellent cinnamon flavor.Everything was fantastic and we left wishing we could come back again. La Playa- you exceeded pur expectstions. Hope to see you again and good luck.

Food was great all around. The chicken sandwich was an 8/10 great sandwich. Got an orchard latte that was great also.

Great food and friendly warm atmosphere! Family run, super fun. Loved the blend of southern food with Mexican style flavors.Casual and fast service- Not crowded, and you order/pay then sit down.

The Seabird Chicken Sandwich did not disappoint! Smokey, creamy, crispy, complex and delicious ?. Quite spicy but without overpowering the other flavors. Had the elderberry hibiscus Arnold Palmer with it and it was bomb. The lemonade added just the right tang and touch sweetness.I'll be back tomorrow for the shrimp and grits!

What a local gem! This is a must try when in the area - Ventura, Oxnard, Port Hueneme. This is a family owned restaurant, and they care about the quality of their food. I had the Seabird sandwhich, mushroom taco, and a horchata matcha drink.- The Seabird is super yummy and comes in a huge portion. It has a spicy kick so order an iced coffee to pair with your chicken sandwich.- The mushroom taco is vegetarian friendly and the fried oyster mushroom tastes amazing. It comes with a green chile sauce.They have seasonal items as well. I am definitely returning the next time I'm in the 805 area.

Everything about this place is on point. They have such a solid biscuit and French toast that I’d be willing to drive up from LA again just to have it. Highly recommend getting a horchata latte.

La Playa Soul kitchen is tucked away in a cute shopping center. There was plenty of parking on a Sunday morning. We ordered the shrimp & grits, the chicken biscuit with hot honey and the breakfast B. The biscuits definitely stole the show as they was flaky and warm. As for the shrimp & grits, the shrimp was fresh + juicy but I wasn't the biggest fan of the grits. Other people seem to love them but I couldn't get behind the texture. We also ordered the horchata latte. It was good but not amazing, I didn't really notice the horchata flavor. As for dining in, the tables could of been wiped down better, they had a lot of stickiness. The hot honey sandwich was probably the culprit since although delicious, it made my hands extremely sticky. I was happy to have wet wipes in my car! Look forward to coming back and trying other items.

Great little shop with tables and good atmosphere. Had the Seadrift sandwich (spicy) so good. The fresh biscuits are also delicious along with homemade blueberry jam.
