We saw this restaurant recommended on Instagram. It did NIT disappoint!! The staff was super friendly, food was awesome but that margarita that looks like ice cream (but is not) is out of this world!!! We will be back!!!
Made a reservation here for 9:45 on a Saturday night. Spoke with the hostess who didn't even look up our reservation and told us there would be a 20 minute wait since there were no tables for two available. She took our name and we remained hopeful for a table.
Went to the bar and found seating. Waited another 15 minutes to get anyone behind the bar to even look our way. When we finally got our drinks, they were spectacular! Food order came out quick (delicious octopus...read full review

Based on the reviews, La Playa Mexican Food & Mariscos is a must-try spot in the Cleveland area with superior food and amazing drinks. The frozen margarita and soft serve margarita are delicious and refreshing. Specific meals mentioned include the hot cheetos street corn, shrimp/fish tacos, fish with clams and mussels, and ribeye with jumbo shrimp w/ bacon wrap. The refried beans and guacamole are good, and the food is fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere is cool and the vibe is great, though the layout can feel odd like a cafeteria and the restaurant can be extremely loud. There will most likely be a wait, so reservations are recommended, but some guests still experienced frustrating delays even with a reservation. Street parking is minimal. While the food and drinks are highly recommended, the service is inconsistent. Some servers are attentive, but others are not very good, with reports of slow refills and unhappy facial expressions when alcohol was not ordered. Overall, the food is solid and the seafood is strong, making it a place guests would return to despite the service and parking issues.
