La Playita Restaurant

I'm updating this review so it doesn't skew the perception of my taste buds! Lol, anyway I think Playita is under new ownership so it doesn't taste exactly the way it did since my last review. The flavor is more common and nothing amazing as it used to be under the previous ownership. But their service is still nice. Playita used to be my regular in the local area, but I frequent other places now. That's too bad though.

Long wait for food. Not busy like usual. Eaten there many times. Ordered Ham and eggs, husband ordered Menudo. My ham was very hard to cut through and not possible to eat. The Menudo tasted like it came from the worst can menudo you could imagine. I knew there had to be a new owner as the quality of the food has always been great. We left without finishing our food. The ham was old and refried and literally the half the size slice of bologna. Zero butter on the toast. Requested butter and Ketchup 3 times never got any. 3 customers got up and walked out after no service or waiting on the food. I asked the cashier if there was new owners. She said yes. I politely explained that there was a very bad decline in the whole experience. She apologized. I told her it's not her fault and asked her to pass this on to the new owners.

Large portions, GREAT salsa, and the whole restaurant has a great authentic Mexican vibe.Chilaquiles: highly recommend! I got mine with the eggs cooked with the rest of the chilaquiles (instead of on the side).Huevos rancheros: My partner got these & said they were delicious!The service was great & our waitress was very attentive.

As I was eating, a cockroach was on the table. Full grown brown, nasty roach. I spit the food out and told the kid there was a roach and he had no reply. Disgusting

First off this place has the best salsa. I will drive 35 miles just to buy the salsa alone. I like to order the pazole with pig feet. Every time I go to that restaurant they always have it. It's not like menudo and other places will sell menudo only on Sundays. The pazole is so good and the pork is always so tender. The staff is friendly. The restaurant is very clean and I can't get enough of the music. I highly recommend this restaurant.

This is my last time giving this place a chance. I ordered chili verde plate. Bad idea!!! I would not feed my dog this food. It was just horrible. Only thing I can say positive. My plate had warm food compared to others in my party that had cold food and tortillas were warm. I will never come back to this place if someone begged me.

Posole is bomb.com and the tortillas are made fresh to order and are crack for foodies!! Micheladas are great too!! Never a bad dining experience here however I am usually there early on Saturday or Sunday mornings when it's relatively slow but either way I enjoy it there

LOCATION: Hanford, CA right next to Cost Less off of 11th Ave. I haven't been here in years and remembered the establishment looked pretty tacky. I'm glad that through the years they've renovated and made the place look better and somewhat modern.PARKING: Plenty of parking spaces to go around. No issues finding a spot.FOOD: I ordered the "burrito especial" with carnitas. It had carnitas, rice, and beans inside; Chile verde sauce and cheese on the outside. It was delicious! Carnitas tasted rich in flavor. It was so big that I only ate half and took the other half home.PRICE: Pretty fair. Prices are relatively the same as other Mexican places I've been to in town.SERVICE: I felt like the service was very nice. Waitress came around to check on us often and made sure we were doing okay.EXPERIENCE: I enjoyed my experience at La Playita. The food was good, the service was good-- everything was good

My favorite restaurant, the taste of the food it's so great I recommend to them not to change the cooker , my favorite thing to eat it's Costa brava and the cocktails and the shrimp with garlic

Poor service, i waited 15 mins to get my order taken and the lady even says i forgot about you, i ordered a burrito and two tacos. 45 mins later I'm wondering what takes that long for a burrito the lady who took myorder was busy the whole time chatting and enjoying her starbucks that someman brought her. never once did she or anyone else within time come up and say sorry for the wait or Do you want more water? i got up asked about my order and was told they were going to start on it. i wasn't going to wait around any longer for my food so i left. it was my first time and last time here. i will never recommend anyone here. so poorly lit and hot inside it would of been nice to get my water refilled. worst service ever. do i have to mention the subpar sour salsa with stale chips.
