La Playa Mexican Grill is a restaurant known for its warm hospitality and delicious Mexican cuisine. The manager, George, is praised for his attentive service, making sure every guest feels special. The menu offers a variety of dishes, from nachos and shrimp cocktail to stuffed avocados and a family platter with a sampling of different dishes. The family platter includes ribs, fish, shrimp, fajitas, quail, and more. Desserts like ice cream are available to celebrate special occasions.
The restaurant has a bar serving margaritas and offers chips and salsa upon seating. The stuffed avocado plate, in particular, is a favorite, featuring a moist and juicy chicken filling. However, some dishes may have room for improvement, such as the tortilla soup being a bit salty and the refried beans being too thin and flavorless. Despite these minor issues, the overall dining experience is generally positive, with quick seating and friendly service. La Playa Mexican Grill is considered a hidden gem, perfect for both casual and special occasion dining.
