    We were hanging out in Santa Fe today and I was starved, so we thought we'd try something new. Walking in, you're greeted with vibrant colors and intricate decor. I loved the setting! The waitress came to get our drink order and brought us some Chips and Dips. There was a delicious white dip that I couldn't identify, but it was very tasty. The Jalapeño was nice and spicy in that dip and in the pico de gallo. I ordered the Relleno, which is a 10 oz Trout covered in scallops and shrimp. I had requested they not put the usual octopus on there. The whole trout was covered in white cheese. I loved the taste but did find the cheese too overwhelming in some spots. The sides that came with it, fried potato wedges, white rice, and corn, were alright. The corn was the star of the sides. My husband got the Chicken and Beef Combo Fajitas. The chicken was plentiful, but the beef was scarce. Instead of strips, the beef was cut into very small chunks and there was very little of it. From what I tasted, it was all very flavorful. I will definitely give this place another try. One important note is that the bathrooms were impeccably clean. That tells me employees take pride in the restaurant and gives me confidence that they take care in every other aspect as well. Can't wait to make a return trip and hope to give this place more stars next time!

    Grande Mexican Shrimp Cocktail and horchata

    We Loved this place! It is unassuming but we were so pleasantly surprised by the outstanding food and service. The waitresses were exceptionally nice, attentive, and welcoming. The shrimp cocktail was awesome and the horchata was also very good. The mixed veggie side with squash and zucchini etc was also really tasty! Bathroom was also really clean and that counts for a lot too I would highly recommend this place!

    Ms T and I had been to Mariscos Costa Azul on a previous visit to Santa Fe. This time the four of us went to La Playa for some seafood. apparently they are not connected. They served us three salsas to get started. There was a smooth pureed onion salsa with a little avocado added for color. We left this one alone. Then there was a typical onion pico with some tomato added for color. We left this one alone as well. Finally, there was a pureed bean dip which was fine. We all had very good seafood diches around the table. Ms T and TT split an order of Shrimp Fajitas, ordered with no onion. It was nicely grilled and well-seasoned. Bro J had a huge Grilled Seafood platter with bay scallops, squid, octopus and fish. It was strongly flavored. Everything was quite tender and we suspect they cook it ahead and then grill it to order. I decided on Camarones al Diablo in a delicious creamy chile chipotle sauce. The shrimp got a bit lost in the flavor of the sauce, but the sauce was so good. I am sitting, as I write this, about 50 yds from the ocean. The seafood here is so fresh and flavorful I have to remember that Santa Fe is not exactly a a place to find that freshness. For the desert, it was pretty good and well prepared. I am going with four stars for the seafood dishes and the enjoyment we had of the meal. It may be a little generous and I am discounting the excessive onion usage.

    I love seafood and I love Mexican food, therefore I love Marisco's La Playa. Fresh seafood dishes and margaritas mixed with a warm family run atmosphere and friendly service make this place a true dining pleasure. Up the street from Maria's, down the street from Body and across the street from Santa Fe Baking is where you might find me when I'm MIA on a Wednesday afternoon. There is nothing super special about this place, but it is certainly special, especially if the main ingredient of a good restaurant is how it makes you feel when you leave and I always feel special. Now isn't that special?

    This is one of my favorite places to eat in Santa Fe. The servers are friendly and fast. The food is OUTSTANDING and the margaritas are superb. Best shrimp cocktail, ever! Try it once and I guarantee you will be back again and again and again.

    See all

Martin insisted the Dark Winds cocktail integrate even more beets- so many beets that the mezcal itself was stifled like a flame under shovelfuls of fecund loam and that homey odor of fresh earth itself somehow overpowering a smoke-scented spirit- when this titan of imagination demanded more beet! in his signature drink, did he bang his closed fist against the table in passion? Did tears of certainty spark his eyes as he sat under those moody lights, standing firm that yes So Long, See You Tomorrow needs not one or two but three different types of sesame- what did he feel? What did intend to bankroll? And the sickest joke of all- the Bellow's Breath- a bone broth mocktail like some crystal cup of soup. Was that beverage intended to pogo stick my friend off the proverbial wagon into the depths of glugging Long Island ice teas just to feel something familiar again? Because it did. And my heart aches for that friend but I too would lose my mind if I were to stare into such a void and see whatever it is that stares back. Was this menu the vision of a team- a baffling Frankenweenie invented by committee- or the secret wish of one troubled mind? I see it all so clearly and yet I can't help but doubt my own memory. That many beets on such an expensive cocktail menu? Who salts blueberries? This total disregard for the green chile cult that runs this city like a delicious cabal? Had no drink technician ever walked from front door to car, inhaled the piñon perfumed air outside and thought, I can do something with that. I don't know what happened and I don't think I ever will but I know I did not like it. Also the bartenders were vacant and so confused that human beings wanted to order cocktails in a cocktail bar.
