The food was amazing I do t usually eat seafood but man this was amazing ! The service was top tier the waitress kept coming back on fourth checking up on us every 15mins ! The vibe was cool great place to chill to eat with family and friends on top of thadj playing and mixing songs !

The spicy cabinet

I would love to give this place 5 stars but because I come here so much I simply can't. Gotta be real. Best ceviche ever. I even heard from multiple people that their shrimp tacos are a hit. See picture for details. But the reason for La Playa, which has the best ceviche in my opinion, not getting 5 stars is because my shrimp tasted funny the time I went. Took it out my mouth. Wasn't feeling it. Now this is one imperfection after going there over 20 times ahha. So I will be going back and trying the shrimp tacos.

Fish Taco

Almost gave up on it because I wasn't able to find it right away but thank God I didn't. So it's a pretty small place couple pub tables inside and a bench outside so don't expect a big restaurant but def worth it. The food is made fresh , hand made tortillas for tacos . We ordered asada tacos (delicious) and fish tacos which were delicious too. Def recommend it if your in the area!!!

Shrimp taco

Love the shrimp tacos with chiptole sauce! Very flavorful! They make fresh homemade tortillas for shrimp tacos . The tortilla is thick and best to eat it fresh. It gets very busy during lunch times (12 to 1p). I would recommend calling your order in before picking up or dining it because of the long wait time. The owner of very friendly.

OMG! This place had the best ceviche and shrimp tacos! Happened to be in the area and looking for something to eat, searched Yelp and food and reviews looked good, but we did not expect this good. Definitely road trip worthy! We will be back! FYI both me and my Honey have stomach issues and can't do peppers and there were none in our meals, hard to find with this type of food and a double win in our book!

First time here, we ordered the shrimp taco with the homemade tortilla. It was amazing! Also got an order of the aguachiles and ceviche de camarón. Everything is chopped and prepared right in front of you. Will definitely be coming back.

The fish tacos are very delicious. Loved this place. Tacos are made with homemade tortillas which makes them even more delicious.

This spot is honestly a whole experience, not just coffee. From the moment you walk in, everything…read morefeels clean, aesthetic, and well put together. The atmosphere is super welcoming perfect whether you're just vibing, on your laptop, or catching up with someone. The service stands out too-staff are friendly, attentive, and actually take care of you, not just rush you through. You can tell they care about what they're serving. The place itself stays really clean, including the seating area and even the restrooms, which is always a big plus. It gets busy, but it's because people genuinely enjoy being there. Overall, great drinks, great service, clean environment, and a solid vibe all around. Definitely one of those spots you keep coming back to.

Dare I say the best coffee in the 209???…read more Hola Cafecito is the most perfect addition to main street Merced. The coffee, the culture, the vibes, the service! I have zero complaints. I try to make it here every trip home because it is so damn good. Let's start with the goods: the dirty horchata is done very well. Not overly sweet but you actually taste the rice & cinnamon and all the things that make horchata wonderful. The only thing that would make it better is if they offered this dairy free but minor detail! I will suffer lol The cafe con leche is delic! Brown sugar & cinnamon, another unbeatable combo. You really can't go wrong with any drink here. Not only is the space beautiful but the staff is super kind. My 83 year old dad is not comfortable ordering in coffee shops like this and they're always patient and helpful. No notes, 10/10 recommend.
