We have tried La Playita a few times for breakfast on the weekends normally having the chilaquiles and usually happy with them. So we decided to try for a dinner. Served a nice spicy chunky salsa and cold chips upon sitting down. We ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp, the empanadas and 2 chili relleno plate. Food arrived very quickly and was pretty down hill from there. Empanadas were not hot all the way thru. The relleno plate use anaheim chilis and were not very good. Bacon wrapped shrimp was wrapped with to much bacon and the layer of bacon under the first wrap was raw. I returned that plate of shrimp and told them I did not want anything in its place. I do not think we will be trying this place again.

Very small place & waiting for a table is usually an hour wait. Food is home style but not a great variety on drinks, they usually only have one waitress for all 15 – 17 tables. If the small parking lot is full, don’t bother walking in.

Went there 9÷10÷15 for lunch. This is seriously aesome authentic mex food. Very clean and the waiter was the best. Salsa is good too but not hot enough for these two gringo’s. We will be back

Second time here last night and they didn’t disappoint. Very colorful local place and there always seems to be something interesting happening here. Last time it was an impromptu Mexican duo singing and playing guitar. Last night it was a beautiful pair of horses outside that a couple rode in on. As for the food, I’m a fan of the bistec chipotle although you must be careful as it’s one of the hotter Mexican dishes I’ve ever had. The shrimp and octupus cocktail comes highly recommended as well. Good prices, neighborhood atmosphere and pleasant service make this definitely above the average place in town.

It was a trek out to this side of town for me, but there are definitely some awesome hole-in-the-wall Mexican places in this neighborhood. La Playita is no exception, though I will note that they seem to specialize in seafood options. CHIPS&SALSA: Thick and salty chips, fresh and mild red salsa, it’s good but don’t fill up on this. EMPANADAS($ 8): start with an appetizer of these, cooked perfectly with a flakey exterior and a good portion of filling. Order of 4 is available with chorizo and cheese or shrimp. SHRIMPTACO($ 3): available fried or «not fried», which comes in a warm tomato sauce almost like a seafood stew. Small in size but packed with flavor. TOSTADADEDEVICHEMIXTO($ 5): generous portion of fresh ceviche, heavy on the octopus, topped with avocado. Simple and bright, not too acidic. Interior is clean, small, and homey, decorated with a nautical motif. Service was friendly and fluently bilingual. Glad that this place is NOT a cash-only establishment!

We went looking for the great dives in VEGAS. Although this is not a dive, its in a divie neighborhood and we took a cab from the strip it was 60 dollars both ways, but what the heck the baggage guy at Flamingo sent us here. Dishes around 11 to 14 dollars that were the same size as the meals we had last night at Ruth Chris for about 1⁄3 of the price. The waitress did not speak much english but the menu is in english so we pointed. What I really want to tell is the FRIEDICECREAMDESERTIS supper delicio delicous special amazing incredible… great night and the place is super packed and has a juke box to play a bunch of music we could not understand, but still fun.

This little neighborhood restaurant has been around for years. Driving down the street you may just pass it by, but don’t! They have everything on the menu from enchiladas, carne Asada to seafood. My absolute favorite is the fried whole fish and grilled shrimp. Yummmm.

Stopped here on our way to Salt Lake City, Utah. Was looking for a good seafood restaurant, and La Playita popped up on line. Gave it a try and never regretted it. My wife commented that she was the only white person in the restaurant, but she loves Mexican food. The food was fantastic. We asked for Salsa to go as it was delicioso and had it in Salt Lake City with chips. Don’t blink or you’ll missed this place, I almost did.

Outside is not great looking but don’t let it deceive you! This place has great service and the great Mexican seafood. We got michiladas, shrimp cocktails and mole enchiladas. Tons of shrimp in the cocktail. And perfect flavor… The mole enchiladas were sweet and spicy delicious!

The reviews were right! Place looks like a hole in the wall but the food and service is great :). I came with my family we got 1) enchiladas de mole 2) camarones a la diabla 3) shrimp cocktail … Everyone loved their food. The shrimp cocktail was perfect and the restaurant wasn’t stingy with the shrimp, the mole was sweet, and they gave us homemade tortillas. Give the place a try, you will be glad you came!

This place is great, a little hole in the wall just before Carey on Pecos Rd. It’s $$ in cost, but worth going to! Staff is great and friendly. I had the shrimps wrapped in bacon stuffed with cheese, costa azul and it was delish!

I personally loved the food here. I had a carne asada burrito and it was seasoned perfectly. The flavors with all the ingredients it came with was very good. I think the rice was also seasoned well and the beans were nice. I’d say that the food gets a perfect 5 stars. However I am rating this 4 stars due to the small size of the restaurant. It was incredibly hard to get around in that place, especially when its busy. The location seems a bit dumpy as well. I remember passing by it all the time thinking eww, but after reading reviews and seeing this restaurant on Best Of Las Vegas’s website, I had to give it a chance. The other factor that brings this down to 4 stars is the fact that they don’t serve fountain drinks. They only serve bottle/can beverages, so don’t expect free refills. Overall, a solid 4 out of 5 and worth the price as well.

Yum yum! This place looks like a hole in the wall, has barred windows and Spanish speaking only staff and also has excelente food! I got a small mixed ceviche — fish, shrimp and octopus and it was delectable. Two $ 3 cervezas later I had a beef taco(tiny but good) and a pork tamale(decent, yes!). This place gets a thumbs up from me. So many yummy Mexican seafood options. :p

THEPLACEFORSOMEGOODMARISCOS! Great and friendly service. Pretty good quality seafood for the amount you’re paying. Started with some chips and salsa – and I must say that’s some good homemade salsa and chips. I had the vuelva a la vida(shrimp, octopus, oyster seafood cocktail). I love to throw some Chalula and squeeze two lemons in it. So damn good, cold and refreshing in the summer time. Also had their michelada(bloody beer) – a definite must! They have the bottles sugarcane Coca Colas. Also tried their butterfly fried fish – which tasted amazing. Tasted like pancakes with grilled onions and side of salad, rice, and tortillas. Such a far drive from where I live, but I will definitely go back.

This is one of the best authentic Mexican restaurants that I have found in Las Vegas. Very fresh seafood and all the other food on the menu is amazing. It’s a small restaurant and doesn’t look like much but the food is absolutely perfect. The staff is friendly and the prices are great. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody. Me and my family go there all the time.
