Playa Cafe delivers authentic Latin American diner food, in the style of "good eats" instead of "fine Latin cuisine creations". For the earthy and real Latin american style of home cooking, this was the spot that nailed it.\nWe were two of six tourists who came through during the hour that we spent there.

Good food loved by local and good service and good prices,I got a good breakfast for about $11 ,that was great compares to the other over priced places close and around the beach. The place is small, I ate there,it can get busy,but luckily for me and my friends everybody was leaving when we got there,you can order and take home, they are fast, I think it took 10 minutes or so,since we placed our order and got our food ready.đź‘Ś
