La Playa Maya

The weirdest thing I've wanted recently is really good refried beans. We hardly ever go to a TexMex place because my other half doesn't generally like it, and the black beans just don't do it for me. We decided to stop at this adorable house on South Hemphill for dinner tonight. Great service and we loved that it was just like dining in someone's home. (They even have an upstairs party room for larger gatherings. )Anyway, I took one bite of the beans here and almost cried with happiness. Just a simple order of cheese enchiladas with beans and rice. I know where comfort food will come from from now on.

Our last visit just a few weeks ago on a Friday evening was just blah. The crowd, service and food seemed to be lacking all over the Restaurant. Our waiter seemed to be a bit confused about our food and beverage order and seemed despondent on waiting on our party. I have always enjoyed visiting the restaurant and the food. Maybe someone was just having a night off. It's okay.

Service was great. The salsa here is also always solid in flavor and freshness if not always spicy. The fish tacos were good but lacking in a good amount of fish they mostly had cabbage and lettuce filler. The table side Guacamole is a must have for us. Recently at night there is never a wait for a table.

This food is hand made with authentic Mexican flare. You can taste the roasted chiles in the sauce and salsa. The service fast and the maitre d was courteous, exceptionally detailed in description of menu items. The restaurant is presented as an Aztec/Mexican ambience with indoor and covered patio seating.

Not sure why I haven't reviewed La Playa Maya before. We have been coming to their Westside location for years. It's our go to Mexican food place in Fort Worth. Restaurant has a nice dining area with tables and booths and a small bar. There is a patio you can enjoy when the weather is nice. Everyone (Maria, Lupe, Bianca, Millie, to name a few) is warm and friendly. They treat you like family. Service is prompt, chips and salsa arrive almost immediately after you are seated. Great way to make you feel welcome. And their food is great! My last visit I had their Carne a la Mexicana, one of my go to orders. Portions are large enough for me to have take home of 1-2 more meals. My husband likes variety when he comes so he ordered the Tres Amigos. Can't make up your mind? Just order this dish and get a taco, an enchilada, and a fajita. My only complaint about this place is we always eat way too much, it's that good. I highly recommend them if you're looking for a great Mexican restaurant. Maybe I'll see you there.

1st time was for brunch and I loved everything about this location. Staff was so nice. Easy to order. Location clean

Stopped in for a quick lunch and shared the appetizer plate with my Mom. It was more than enough for us to share and we really enjoyed it. We got a mixture of chicken & beef. Service was good, friendly & fast. The salsa is the only thing I would recommend for improvement based upon this visit. It tastes very much like medium Pace picante sauce.

We live just down the street from this location, so it is a frequent stop for us. The food is great and the prices are affordable. Their margaritas are great and I recommend getting the "skinny" margarita. It is always bustling with locals and the ambiance is fun.

Went to another place that was closed for some reason, another family that was there recommended La Playa Maya - and it did not disappoint. Staff is extremely attentive, friendly and fast. Food is delicious. The nacho app is individually topped chips, so everyone has is loaded!!! Pure genius!!!!!Salsa is really good, right amount of heat and flavor.Had the sour creme pollo enchiladas - chicken was seasoned and very tasty, sauce was not overpowering. All around awesome spot!

This place was a such a find!!!! We were on our way back from Fossil Rim, super hungry and with a hankering for Mexican food. So I pulled up Yelp, and randomly picked this location. All I can say is that the food and the staff were fantastic . My wife got the fajitas and raved about it. I got the whole fried catfish al la Mexicans. It came with the most delicious side cup of fish soup. The rice and beans were excellent. I recommend you come and visit this place
