Incredible Mexican food, not too heavy, nice portions, authentic cusine. Their Horchata is perfectly balanced.
The enchilada lunch special for $12 was a day maker. Loved how I could get one shredded beef and one chicken. Great spices, tender beef, juicy chicken, and the cheese very flavorful.
Rice and beans were done well, not too much lard or other fats, it tasted homemade and on the light side.
Lunch specials are affordable for the regular customer. Highly recommend after my first visit.
Service was fantastic. Big smiles, attentive, nice, and fast.

FOOD POISONING I’ve eaten at this restaurant multiple times before, but after my last visit I will never be back. We ordered takeout, and they packaged a side container of lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and guacamole. The container was warm when I opened the bag, which immediately seemed off, but I assumed it had just been sitting against the hot food. The next day, I ended up with severe food poisoning that was bad enough to send me to the ER. I’ve never been this sick from a restaurant before. It was absolutely miserable and honestly frightening. This was a place I used to recommend, but after this experience I can’t in good conscience eat here again or suggest it to anyone else. If you order from here, be extremely cautious.

Playa Azul in Puyallup delivers a good overall experience with some highlights worth noting. The service was friendly and attentive without feeling rushed, and the menu offers a solid variety of classic Mexican dishes. Portions are generous, and the flavors are fresh—especially the salsa, which had the right balance of heat and tang.
That said, a few things kept it from being a 5-star visit. The food, while tasty, could use a bit more seasoning and boldness in flavor to stand out. The atmosphere is pleasant but not particularly memorable, and there was a slightly longer wait for food than expected given the crowd size.
All in all, Playa Azul is a reliable choice for a satisfying meal in Puyallup. Not the absolute best in the area, but definitely a spot worth visiting when you’re craving Mexican food.

Unfortunately this is one of the worst Mexican places I have had in the Puyallup area. Tiny portions for the price and the food was sub par. Don’t waste your time or money here.

Got street tacos with Adobada from here this morning to go. Didn’t see street tacos on the menu but the server was very helpful and friendly and said they could do it for me. The tacos were excellent. Very well seasoned meat and plenty of it. Even the salsa was better than most! Will be going back here for sure!

We came here after the Pullayup Spring Fair looking for some good Mexican good. We found it at Playa Azul. The staff here were incredibly nice from beginning to end. Everything was done with a warm smile and I was so happy! I had the two hard tacos with rice and beans. The rice and beans were done right. The tacos shell and the tortilla chips were light and crunchy. They didn't skimp on the meat. Would come again!
Food here was absolutely amazing! Best Mexican food I've eaten in the area hands down....and the waitress was so sweet, it was a pleasure to sit down to relax and enjoy a meal here.... definitely coming back
