    I love this place! We stopped here on a whim while staying in Port A, and were shocked at the prices versus the serving sizes. This is alot of food for not much money, and good. I love the chips, very fresh and light, and the two dips (red and green) were flavorful without burning my tongue off. Good sign right off the bat. I got the chicken ...

    A friend of mine and I go and enjoy the happy hour. We also love the appetizers. The price is a bit high but the food is delicious.

  • Awesome!
    By anonymous, 03/10/07
    Best Mexican food in town, period. The beef fajitas have a great flavor. My wife really likes the Chicken Ranchero Enchiladas. Both the red and the green sauces are great. And the service is wonderful and friendly.

  • Excellent Food
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/13/06
    I really enjoy Happy Hour (Margaritas) and the FREE salsa and chips. I love the green salsa which I have been trying to recreate at home. It has a very nice atmosphere especially when they have entertainers!

    I guess it depends on your taste but for myself and my fiance, La Playa leaves a lot to be desired. The rice is not good, period - it's hard and flavorless. The beans are okay but a bit runny and they leave a greasy feel on the tongue which tells me they use too much lard. The fried stuffed avocado was well, in a word, disgusting. The mixed ...

  • Best variety in town
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/25/06
    This restaurant is comparable to some of the better Mexican food places in Houston. They have items you wont find on the menu anywhere else (stuffed avocado). I ordered the stuffed jalapenos and was shocked at how huge these things were- a large order could make a whole meal. The location on Saratoga is decorated nicely and the waitstaff are very professional and on top of things. It's very clean too.

  • Add more cheese...
    By DavValerio, 03/06/06
    I always have the same order, tacos al carbon. The beef fajitas are delicious. The salsa is tasty. The beans are excellent. Only the rice leaves a little to be desired. I always have the beef tacos and I add white cheese to them. They are too good to pass up!
