    Salmón Playa Azul w/ mashed potatoes & salad. Margarita flight
    Jasmin G.

    I have been coming here since before they had burned down and it might have been a blessing in disguise because the new Playa is beautiful! The bar set up is niiice. Seating feels similar to before, but upgraded. Our waitress (ugh forgot her name unfortunately, i remember her because she had braces & was so cute lol) but sooo sweet! Super attentive and just an angel! My bf ordered the margarita flight which I think he said wasn't on the menu anymore but she said she would get it for him anyway. A doll. He ordered the New York strip mash w/ veggies and of course didn't wanna share I ordered the Salmon mash and salad. Everything was fresh and juicy and so flavorful. The mashed potatoes I could probably have ate just alone, literally perfect. Salmon was crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked. We had to yell out to the Chef how amazing everything was 10/10 !

    I was craving a fried fish so I came here for lunch. Delicious as usual and wasn't disappointed. The only thing I didn't care for is the rice, it was pretty dry and plain. Everything else was great!

    Full Bar View . Authentic Mexican brunch on my way

    First time trying this place out ~ my family members who live in SF said they have been coming for years . Definitely great authentic Mexican food/ Seafood . Ambiance: A ~ I enjoy that you get a touch of Mexico with the wooden chairs and details on it . Food : A ~ all dishes were delicious and fresh . We were a group of 6 and everything came out together. Next time I visit the area I will be going back to try other dishes !

    Calamares Fritos

    Came in recently and they had great food!! We had the mixto cocktail which had shrimp and octopus it was fabulous!! Also shared the calamari which had a really nice light batter to it. Entree was carne asada which was perfectly cooked. Waiter could have been a little more attentive but otherwise great experience.

    Parrillada de pescado. Grilled fish,shrimp,scallops and oysters
    Otto N.

    Always fresh the food here is so good. I recommend trying everything on the menu. Vuelve a la vida and mariscada a la parrilla are my favorite. Playa azul nachos is my favorite appetizer.

    Amazing

    What an authentic place. A place where you feel like familia. From the regular clientele , to our Bartender Sandra to the owner Don Roberto treated us with love and tequila shots and appetizer. It is a hidden gem in the Mission. A must visit again...

    Food was very good but not worth the price. Everything on the menu down to the drinks were crazy overpriced.

I ordered the carnitas burrito and my husband ordered the carne asada one. We also asked the guys for a salsa picante and their house made one delivered! The ingredients were tasty, well seasoned and fresh. Service is quick, food and ambiance are no frills and cash only. I think about this burrito daily and am willing to travel across the country to get it again. Not to mention, but this is a Mission style burrito in the Mission! This is the only way to do it and I now totally understand the hype.

A few people were already in there eating, and we know this place is good, as a few others in our group and I have been here multiple times. The Taqueria is typical of any other, with bench-style chairs for folks to sit on, a water station, and workers cooking it up in the kitchen. I wasn't too hungry, so I grabbed a Super Lengua Taco, while my friends grabbed burritos, we ended up grabbing 3 complimentary chips and guac/salsa with our order and the food came out pretty quickly. When I saw my Taco I forgot how much they stuffed it and wow, two of these would've filled me up just like a taco; there was so much Lengua that it kept falling off after every bite. The flavors all came together and I scruffed down the whole thing after about 6+ bites! Definitely a place to come to if you're looking for a full meal, or something to snack on!

    Definitely the best burrito spot in the city 10 out of 10 we did the Carne Asada with chips and…read moresalsa which was very fresh. The line was quite long wrapped around the block but took about 25 minutes because people come here sit down and they eat and leave pretty quickly because the lines are long. The ambience is very nice. It's like I walked into a Hispanic home. The staff here are very friendly, but please make sure you accommodate because there is a lot of people waiting in line so I'm not saying eat your food fast and leave. There is benches and tables which make it feel like you walked into a Hispanic home as well. The Strawberry Horchata and mango Agua Fresca is really good 10 out of 10.

    Beware!!! I need to…read morewarn people about this because I only found out AFTER asking questions myself. This place is famous for their burritos and especially the "Dorado style," which tastes amazing -- BUT what they don't clearly disclose anywhere is that the Dorado style burrito is cooked in pork lard unless you specifically ask for it "dry" or with vegetable oil. As someone who does not eat pork for religious reasons, finding that out after already eating there was honestly really upsetting. And the frustrating part is that there is NO clear sign or disclosure telling customers this. If I never asked, I would have had no idea. I actually still like this spot and appreciate that they at least offer a dry/vegetable oil option if you ask, but customers should not have to investigate ingredients themselves to avoid pork. Jewish, Muslim, vegetarian, and other customers deserve transparency. A simple sign or note on the menu saying that Dorado style is prepared with pork lard by default would solve this issue completely. Great food, but this absolutely needs to be disclosed better. One of my all time favorite spots in general.
