This place was reservations out that night but they made room for me at the bar. Service was really good and friendly. You must get the tots. I ate it even before taking a pic. ?. The red sauce for enchilada was really excellent. Ohh. And the fluffy Mexican rice is bomb. And they make the tortillas fresh. I have

Most of the dishes look appetizing but shrimp ceviche is a dish that they do not dominate.

We stumbled upon this place last night while looking for a place to eat. The service was great and it was honestly one of the best meals out we've enjoyed here in a long time. We visit the area from Austin several times a year to see our mom and have grown a bit weary of the usual places. Mom enjoyed the fish tacos immensely. I had the short rib birria and the flavors were nothing short of amazing. The fresh made tortillas were the icing on the cake so to speak.

Small and cozy. Delicious, fresh guacamole and shrimp ceviche! Save the airfare and hassle of a trip to Mexico and just visit Playa Amor for a taste of authentic Mexico!

I’ve eaten here 3 times now and every time I do, it’s fantastic. I’ve had the fish tacos (cod was lightly breaded, flaky & cooked to perfection), their short rib birria (absolutely delicious, the rice and beans also great), as well as a bunch of their tacos. My go-to spot.

We always love grabbing dinner here. The hatch chili spaghetti, the mole tots, the street corn, it's all amazing. This has recently become our place to take out of town visitors to share with them one of our favorite spots.

Our food delivery person, Justin Bieber, wasn't rude, but was not professional. Everyone else was attentive and professional.The rice and beans where AMAZING! And the tortillas are made there by a master of the art. The cocktails are delicious, but maybe a touch too sweet (coming from someone who loves dessert.)Dietary restrictions: The waiter/bartender specifically asked about allergies when taking our orders.

I have celiac and the menu is somewhat labeled with gluten free options, however the server was unsure about if their chips were fried in a shared fryer. I asked him to check with the kitchen and he didn’t - kept saying “should be fine to eat”. Regardless the meal I got was delicious.

The food is good and the portions are large!Pretty authentic. The drinks need a little more polish but at least they're strong! Atmosphere is ok, looks and feels more cramped than it actually is. I feel like they were understaffed, somehow they ran out of salsa?

This place is a neighborhood favorite. We have lived in the area for over a year and only just found it. They make great margaritas that are fresh and homeade, not made with a mix or over sweet/soured and the guacamole is to die for. They have an awesome happy hour that is 12-4 M-F but Tuesday ALL DAY. You can sidle up at the bar or sit out on the patio, the whole place is open and airy and bright with cool decor. They have a lady making fresh traditional tortillas in the corner for their chips, the elote is delicious, the pork carnitas and the braised short rib were both melt in your mouth..delicious churros with dip! Now we've been here multiple times and there has never been a wait, the service is always fast and friendly and the margaritas are flowing. Highly recommend! We conveniently use the Tesla superchargers in the parking lot as an excuse for Taco Tuesdays :)Parking: Tesla super chargers!

Great place next to big Tesla charging station! And they let us PEE before they knew we would eat here! The lady clerk at the BevMo! place around the corner (where mom was going to buy some stuff) did not let us use their restrooms even though we said we’d purchase things. ..
