Service was excellent. Festive atmosphere. They serve two salsas with their chips. Both pretty good. Not too spicy. We got the small chicken ranchero nachos, the grilled shrimp and the chimichanga.

Without a doubt, one of the best Tex-Mex establishments in Corpus. And if you are familiar with the city, it is generally lacking in this category that is ubiquitous throughout the rest of the state of TX. Dining at different La Playa locations over the years has given me the sense that they are not under common ownership or control. This particular location is differentiated by consistent food quality, good service and exceptional management. Food is great given Corpus' standards of Tex-Mex. I have never had any issues with any of the parrillada options I've ordered. Service is super attentive and accommodating - this has always been the case regardless of server. This is driven, in large part, to its dedicated management. The head restaurant manager has been here for a really long time, and he is commonly present checking on and assisting diners. He is extremely conscientious in character. I also have to add that the crowd and atmosphere also make this a pleasurable dining experience. It has a true Tex-Mex vibe here, which is refreshing. Come on a Friday after work and it is packed. People apparently really like their margaritas!I try to bring most out-of-town guests here because I really do feel like it is a good representation of this city.

Your typical Tex-Mex restaurant right next to a few hotels in Corpus Christi. Stopped in on a Monday night and was able to get a seat at the bar right away. It is Spring Break week in Corpus, so the entire place was fairly busy and It was very noisy. The service at the bar was extremely confusing and many other people were getting frustrated by how long it took. A lady came over to me pretty quick but continued to serve me from my side of the bar (thinking they maybe just didn't have a dedicated bartender). She was nice and very attentive. The food was average. The salsa you get with your chips is extremely spicy, so if you don't like a lot of spice i'd stay away from this. The small Beef Fajita Quesadilla is plenty for one person.

Always great food and drinks. Zero issues with the quality or portions of food but the service was lacking some. I didn't deduct any starts as I understand what restaurants are going thru to try to get staff hired and to show up but it was a little disappointing but again the food was great.

Good food at fair prices-this long-standing local eatery dishes up Tex-Mex favs like they're going out of style! But they aren't! There's plenty for everyone, whether you like chalupas (yum) or carnitas tacos (yum yum) or chiles rellenos (tres yum). We ordered all and devoured them pronto. We munched on complimentary chips and salsa to start and washed it all down with some tasty frozen drinks. The mango margarita was good but the pina colada margarita was even better. So good in fact that we squeezed in another visit the next evening for guac and chips and another round of drinks at the bar before an evening out!

Not sure you can call what we had as service. Only saw the server three time, to order, food delivery and to pay once we tracked the server down. Place was dirty, in need of an updated and employees that are friendly. Food was bland, not a place to go back to.

Horrible, horrible service!!!! Waited at least 20 minutes for a server to come to our table. Unfortunately, she never appeared. We used to frequent the La Playa on SPID but noticed it was closed. Guess there ignoring of customers finally caught up with them.

Have came here a few times. This time was disappointing and will not come back. Chips and salsa was ok. Nothing great. Ordered 2 tostados one beef and chicken . Chicken was edible the ground beef one was so bad I didn't eat it . The meat tasted old or like an old kitchen sink taste. Queso was good but like warm at best.
