Place was surprisingly empty for how good the food was. Our server, Jewel, was wonderful and attentive despite how short staffed they seemed. Will be saving this one to my favourites!

We went in yesterday for a staff lunch. The restaurant had no one but us a table of 11 people. And I saw that because our waitress got None of our orders correct, we never got refills on our drinks throughout the whole meal, same watered down drinks! Our waitress was nice but no attention to anything. And meat was heavily under seasoned, no flavor

Waitress was not on point. She seemed confused about the whole thing. Order, margaritas, check....

Went to eat here with my mother in law and husband. The food was horrible. The cóctel de camarón was super thick with ketchup and had almost no shrimp, just chile, tomate and cebolla. The tostadas de ceviche were horrible, they had frijoles, had no salt or lime. We had only asked for the tostadas and had to argue with them about charging us for a plate when we had specifically asked for just the tostadas. The plate was almost completely untouched. The Coca-Cola bottles were super dirty and looked expired. They were very rude about it and really expensive! Do not recommend. Also, my husband and mother in law speak only Spanish and they were super rude about it and would answer them in English or act like they didn’t understand them. But it’s a “Mexican” restaurant!

Went here because its across from the hotel that I'm staying at went on a slow day ( pretty empty).
The area (for me) feels super cluttered there is alot with the decorations going on but still cute alot of room for families if you want to be outside or inside they also have a small upstairs too. Which is a plus!
Server that helped me was super cool friendly.
For me the food looks amazing! I ordered the bahia shrip platter. The jumbo shrimp cooked perfectly breaded ok flavor great. Nice portion for one person.
For one person being 30$ is kinda of alot.
Over all it was expensive,servers were amazing, the inside was a bit grunge but If you want some good Mexican food try this place I did not notice anything wrong with the place. Would go again 😌

Worst restaurant ever! We order mashroom and tortilla soup and sea food platter, waited 1.5hr, just the soup came to our table and then after 30 more minutes they said that all shrimps are frozen (what did they do for 2hrs!!), so they cannot provide us our food! They gave us this information so late that we couldn’t go to another restaurant because it was already closing time!!

We were a group of 5 but we knew few more people when we entered the restaurant. So they charged 18% extra for large group. They were insistent and the restaurant manager was extremely rude. They didn’t even serve one of our platters.

I am so glad my family and I stopped in to La Playa! The atmosphere and location are great, but the meals we had were amazing. Great seasoning on meats and sauces, charro beans were delicious, and it was affordable. We plan to make this our go-to Mexican restaurant in Corpus.
