Mariscos Playa Azul Cafe

Although it may not look like much when you first walk in, don't leave - the food is excellent! The lady was super accommodating with my mom's dietary needs and made menu items work for her. John loved his fish tacos and later mentioned he wouldn't mind eating more of them. Overall good food. Oh and try the cucumber pineapple drink!!

The food was delicious foodies. I ordered the Florentine shrimp with spinach. The creamsauce was to die for. Strands of fresh spinach in this delectable sauce served with rice that was perfectly cooked. The flavor was very good too. My friend had the Chipotle shrimp. Yes, dish is served with 'tails on'. Never fear. You're gonna need extra napkins. I'd order mine again. This restaurant is located at the Ramada Inn so it's not fancy and it's brightly lit but the food! Terrific.

Many many issues. I'll give a numbered list.1. I ordered Governor Shrimp Tacos. The tacos, covered in mole, came with the shrimp tails on. Because of this, I had to take each individual mole-covered shrimp out of the taco, remove the tail, then put them back. I couldn't even properly put the garnishes on the tacos. There was also a small, soft pincer in one of the tacos!!!2. We had to wait for around an hour to receive our food. It only came after we asked how long it would still be. Our food then came in a staggered fashion; the time between the arrival of the first dish and last dish was around 20 minutes. 3. The ambiance was strange. Very sentimental, corny country was being played the whole time from YouTubeTv. The owner didn't have youtube premium so ads played all the time & eventually the music just stopped. This may be my most unfair criticism, but I stand by it. Also, the restaurant is in the continental breakfast bar of a hotel!!!?4. When a member of my party used the restroom, a STAFF MEMBER of the hotel walked out. Cool. But the toilet seat was largely covered in urine upon her entering the bathroom. He also didn't flush? Staff not caring for their own establishment? 5. Instead of giving us water glasses they gave us bottled water? Which we were then charged for. $1.25 for a bottle?6. The suizas enchiladas were not amazing. The chicken was tough and chewy. There was so much mozzarella on top that I took several bites of just cheese.7. The tip was included for us (because we had a party of 6) but the waiter also added an additional charge on top of this and didn't tell us what it was? The receipt they showed us didn't match the amount we paid. I ordered a $12 dish and paid $18.8. They got one of our orders wrong. The chef told us that since the food was already made it would be an additional cost to make the correct order. 9. We waited around 20 minutes for the check. We had to ask twice...To end on a good note: the sweet tea was really good! Overall I would never go back here. Do no trust the skewed reviews online

We arrived at appx. 20:50 CST, but experienced several delays. Appx 20" to order drinks. Another 20" to get the drinks, and then order 3 entrees - no complicating appetizers, salads or soups. First entree (enchiladas) didn't arrive until 21:48 - 58" from arrival! Second entree (ceviche tostada) didn't arrive until 21:59 1'09" from arrival! My entree (Chipotle Fish) arrived at 22:00 but it was Chipotle Shrimp! Finally the correct plate at 22:10 or so. Neither son nor his GF were pleased with their dishes. Bland. Enchiladas were dry and ceviche had no line taste at all - nor of any other seasoning. Curiously, my entree proved to be the absolute best fish plate at a Mexico or Mexico adjacent themed restaurant I've ever had in 40 years of eating out. The mujer who owned the place said she had made the Chipotle sauce minutes before the order - the sauce recipe needs to be classified and trademarked it was so spot on! She further added the fish was sea bass. Spur of the moment I didn't push back, but in hindsight it's strains credulity that a spring break high demand Ramada Inn serving estaminet would spend so much on sea bass without even listing it as such on the menu. In any event, it was fanatastic. Overall, if one can stomach the huge delays and order the correct items once can reasonably expect a good meal!

The owner was such a pleasure to speak to and she let us try a local special for our first time coming in. The street corn was amazing, the agua Fresca was legit, and then the food kept coming out and knocking our socks off.

This restaurant was quite a interesting experience from start to finish. To begin, the restaurant is located inside of a hotel, and doubles as a continental breakfast. I have personally never seen that before, and it made the overall ambiance a little different than expected and was a definitely a new experience. The TV that was playing music videos featured inappropriately dressed women repeatedly. The service seemed awkward and made purchasing the food more difficult than expected. Food was rather good, but for our larger party we waited around 1+ hours while being just around the only group inside the smaller establishment. Also, a heads up for the larger family's, they happened to only have two high chairs and one booster so just a little warning to heed.

Hidden gem with great food and even better people. The food was amazing! Every one was so friendly and I will stop in again next time I'm in town

If zero stars were an option, I'd choose that. We got chips and bottles of salsa, then asked for bowls to put the salsa in. I never got those.We got a burrito, but the rice was underdone. According to other reviews, it seems the lady may be incompetent at making rice. The lady comes from the back, and the first thing she says upon meeting us is, "The rice is made right unless you want it mushy."She did not introduce herself, apologize, or possess any qualities individuals in management positions should. She claimed we had eaten half of the burrito and would have to pay for it; we explained that we did not eat it. We deconstructed and picked through it. She left the table, brought the burrito back, and continued arguing, claiming we had eaten it and would have to pay for it. There was at least a 30-minute gap between the first and last guest getting their food. Save yourself the trouble; eat anywhere else

I waited 1 hour before I got up and walked out. I waited so long because me and my table were having a good day and lots of laughs before I started to realize wow it's taking a long time to get our app i ordered for everyone.needless to say the app I ordered never got there. I wound up going to whataburger to get food. I hate that I waisted 1 hour of my life In This place I can never get back. I made friends with the next table we finally got their order and were disappointed do yourself a favor. Go elsewhere

We had the ceviche tostadas and fried fish platter. Both were great. Lemonade is pricy but fresh made in front of us and worth it.
