Playa Azul offers delicious and flavorful food with excellent customer service. The Seafood platter, featuring crab, shrimp, mussels, octopus, clams, chicken, and sausage on a bed of soupy rice, is a standout dish reminiscent of Mexican seafood gumbo. Fresh tortillas and multiple spicy salsa options enhance the dining experience.
The restaurant is known for its exceptional meals and welcoming atmosphere. Customers praise the delicious seafood dishes, including the campechana and 7 mares, as well as the tender and juicy meat dishes like Carne Asada and Menudo. The homemade tortillas and Micheladas are also highlights.
The owner, Chef Jose Espinoza, creates original dishes using locally sourced ingredients. One popular menu item is the Jaiba Rellena, a succulent and fresh seafood tomato-based stew baked in a crab shell. With a history of 40 years, Playa Azul continues to be a hidden gem in the area.
