Not consistent product. Sometimes good, sometimes not so good . As many times I have been there, you'd think they would get a clue ..

Food was cold, every customer had to request to have their food heated up. Burners on food weren't even on when I was ordering. Food was not impressive by any means

I've yet to have a bad meal at this place. The prices are reasonable, the portions are generous, everything seems to be made fresh. The place is a bit old and dated, but kept clean.I think that some of the negative reviews are written by people with very unrealistic expectations. I saw one complaining about no free chips and dip. This is a counter service restaurant and people are complaining about not getting things that are customary at full service restaurants. Go in knowing that this is a no frills, good food at a good price, restaurant, and you won't be disappointed.

I am knocking off stars for the following reason.1. Portions are small2. The price is high3. The salsas were watery4. No free chips & salsa5. They even skimp on napkinsI don’t recommend this place as there are plenty of good Mexican restaurants around here.

Love this Mexican restaurant! I had a breakfast plate with chorizo that hit the spot. Their salsa is amazing & service was quick. I would love to go back and try other items on the menu.

I stopped in here yesterday after a co-worker recommended the place. He suggested getting the chile relleno. It's been years since I've had a chili relleno. The place was small. Kind of run down looking. The outside and inside was blue. Hence the name, "Playa Azul." There was no line so I was able to order immediately. Their menu was posted on the wall up front. I didn't really look at the menu though. I already knew what I wanted, the chile relleno combination. I got the food to go. When I got home I tried the rice and beans first. Man it was good. Then I ate the chili relleno. The flavors and textures of the food were great. I savored each bite and at the same time pretty much inhaled it. There's something to be said about those, "hole in the wall" restaurants. This place had great tasting food. The next time I come back, I'll try a burrito. If it's anything like their chili relleno, it's got to be good.

My first meal, the night we moved from CA to NV was here. 25 years later (+1month) and I was there yesterday. The machaca is great, as are the tortas. But I judge carnitas burritos harshly having grown accustomed to Hectors in Watsonville. I've not been disappointed. Take from that opinion what you will. I'll keep stretching my lunch window to get there weekly.

We ordered fried mojarra it was so dry and overcooked. The fries were oily and the carnitas old around 2 or 3 days.Also the lady on the front rude
