About La Playita Restaurant

La Playita Restaurant is a popular spot that serves wonderful food and offers great service. Located just a mile from many homes, it is a convenient option for a delicious meal. The menu features a range of options, including chalupas, fajitas, and fresh, cooked-to-order dishes. Highlights include fantastic shrimp and all-you-can-eat oysters. The atmosphere is very nice, and the restaurant sets off the main road, making it easy to find with Google. Customers have praised the fajitas for being very tender and juicy, and the chicken quesadillas are also highly recommended. The restaurant is smallish and can get busy, but it remains comfortable and not too noisy or crowded. The service is excellent, and the staff is very friendly and eager to help, creating a laid-back vibe that makes it a well-known local hangout. Many visitors enjoy breakfast options like huevos ranchos and huevos over easy with ranchero sauce. The Shrimp Ranchero is another favorite, with a delicious sauce that goes perfectly with the shrimp and rice. The restaurant’s traditional red sauce over tamales, instead of queso, is a unique and tasty feature. Customers have expressed that the beef enchiladas are some of the best they’ve ever had, and the crawfish is better than in nearby Crystal Beach. Overall, La Playita Restaurant provides a satisfying dining experience with reasonable prices and a friendly atmosphere.

Stopped in for a bite with my daughter. We’re visiting on spring break from Illinois. Food wasn’t great and the service was horrible. Ordered nachos and specifically asked what it came with.

I asked where it was, I was told that it didn’t come with guacamole and sour cream. On top of that, they automatically charge a “20% gratuity.”...read full review
