La Playa Mexican Cafe Reviews
While waiting for my food to come out a roach crawled across the table I was sitting out. Never ever again will I go there.
Excellent service, friendly atmosphere. Food presentation was perfect. Meals were served hot and tasted delicious.
Jose the manager basically told us too bad your mango margarita didn’t have enough mango in it. We tried to explain to him that bringing a small container to the table with mango syrup is NOT ok!
Our food was extremely salty and our waiter was unresponsive to my request for a mango margarita that was truly a mango margarita!
Sad because we have been coming here for awhile. But lately it has been bad food and bad drinks. I’ll go someplace that truly makes good...read full review

La Playa Mexican Cafe offers wonderful food like fajitas and Guacamole, with a friendly waiter but some issues in service. The restaurant has a loud and vibrant atmosphere, which can make it hard to hear, often due to busy customers. The chicken in the Spur cream enchiladas was a bit bland, but many dishes, like the seafood enchilada, have received high praise. Portions are decent for the price, and some meals, such as the beef chile relleno and pollo asado plate, are favorites among guests. The place is very busy, sometimes leading to slower service, but the overall experience is positive. Inside and outside, the ambiance is pleasing, and the food feels authentic and flavorful. Many customers find it to be the best place to eat in Harlingen, especially enjoying the vibrant atmosphere and great service from staff like Mario. Despite the noise and parking challenges, La Playa Mexican Cafe remains a popular choice for delicious Mexican cuisine.
