Absolutely phenomenal experience! Really love the aesthetic walking in And the service was unbelievably good as. The server kept checking in on us and made sure we had everything we wanted. Really pleasant to talk to as well and just created a really fun night for us. I'm sure he did that for all the other tables as well since he seemed to get along with everyone in our area. Gem Lettuce Salad (with pepita cilantro vinaigrette, corn nuts, cotija cheese) - hopefully massive portion size on this one which we were not expecting! Definitely appreciate the large size. Lettuce was fresh and crunchy and not too many of the corn nuts or the cotija cheese is which was nice to lower the calories which is what we were looking for :)We had actually asked to put the dressing on the side but they must have forgotten that. Either way the salad wasn't soaking and dressing or anything so appreciate that.Summer Squash Tamal (with mole verde, thai basil) - just WOW !! BEST DISH OF THE DINNER! It was warm and soft and so delicious! I was very skeptical when husband decided to order this, but I'm so glad he did. Such a lovely, smooth, subtle and texture and just a really amazing item! If only the portion size were much larger haha.Half Roasted Tamarind Chicken (With Guajillo Salsa, Chimichurri, Sweet Potato) -Ready half and half opinion on this one. The chicken was cooked absolutely perfectly soft and tender and unbelievably yummy. Sweet potato on the side was a perfect add on. Only thing is the Tamarind made it a little tangy for me. And that chimichurri as well as the guajillo salsa were both fairly oily so I ended up not having any of it. Husband absolutely loved the dish as a whole though, so I think the dish opinions would matter a lot on your personal taste buds.Choco Taco -Husband decided to get this for dessert after having quite a difficult time picking between the options. The flan looked amazing as well but he decided to go with this. It was basically a chocolate waffle with some chocolate ice cream and some more cream and what not going on. Aesthetic was really lovely but I feel like it was too rich in the chocolate flavor for me and coffee cream was a bit too too strong. It also seemed very heavy on the fat and creaminess so we did not have that cream part. I think a vanilla ice cream instead of the chocolate would have really brought it all together. Otherwise, quite a nice concept.They got my husband a special little dessert at the end which was like too little mini churros that were coated in chocolate and turned into an ice cream sandwich with some vanilla ice cream in the middle. I honestly preferred this over the dessert we ordered. The churros were nicely crunchy and who went well with that vanilla ice cream. They should bring this on the menu, haha.

I literally have dreams of this place. We reserved this place on a whim because the birthday girl wanted Mexican food. It was one of the best random decisions we made. It's hard to miss this place when you see all the orange flowers outside. It's absolutely gorgeous on the inside. I literally am transported to MX with all the decor, with a splash of modernism. The service was impeccable. Our server was great and even gave us free drinks and desserts!! It was awesome. Everything we asked for, they did even better. 100% attentive staff and made you feel special. The food is AMAZING. BEAUTIFUL. ETHEREAL. I have emotions and tears when I talk about this place. I promise you, get the pork belly pastor because that's what the star of the show was. Absolutely delicious and I will rave about this place, until I DIE.

We stopped by Casa Playa on a Saturday night and found seats at the bar since reservations weren't available. The service was excellent, with staff offering great menu suggestions. Everyone was so kind, helpful, and inviting. We started with the Housemade Guacamole and chips, followed by the Dungeness Crab Corn Esquites and the Surf and Turf to share. The extra chips worked perfectly with the esquites. The Surf and Turf was a highlight as the meats were tender and flavorful, and the shrimp and lobster were perfectly cooked.The atmosphere was stylish and welcoming, making it a great spot for a date night. Would definitely return!

Came here tonight with my family for my husband's birthday. Highly recommend! Eli was our waiter and he gave us THE BEST recommendations. We ordered the octopus, carnitas and frijoles de olla for dinner. Eli had recommended the carnitas and it was AMAZING! Carnitas were slow roasted and tender with crispy skin. It was a table dish enough for 4 people but the three of us DEVOURED IT. Then for dessert we ordered the churros with chocolate and cajeta. Eli also recommended the Obsidian drink (a spicy margarita) which was also delicious! Would definitely return and when I do, I will request Eli because he provided amazing service! I love a waiter/waitress who not only takes care of us but someone who can perfectly recommend the dishes we are looking for. Thank you, Eli!

Food and service top notch we loved everything we had. The decoration is so beautiful and edgy we will dedinetly be back for sure. One of my favorite places at the Wynn for sure!

As soon as we stepped inside, we were greeted by the energetic sounds of a DJ spinning dance music with catchy remixes. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, enhanced by dim lighting and unique 3D fish ceiling decor.We started with the guacamole, which was fantastic, paired perfectly with fresh, crispy chips. Our standout dish was undoubtedly the octopus; it was beautifully prepared and drizzled with a light sauce that elevated its flavors.We also shared the lamb birria, served with salsa and the rich, savory juice it was cooked in. Every bite was bursting with flavor.As for the price--well, it is Vegas, so it was on the higher side, but the experience made it worth it

4.5 stars overall. We had dinner and sat at the bar. Blade our bartender waiter was awesome. He gets five stars. Loved his energy. The roasted grape dessert is also very memorable. I would come back for that - five stars. The rest of the meal was what we expected. We had- Kampachi appetizer pretty good- butter lettuce salad didn't like the corn nut on top - too hard for me. - short ribs. Yum 4 stars- branzino yum 4 starsOverall a fun atmosphere and a unique dessert. I would come back for that and our Michaelada drink.

Food was amazing. Got the carnitas to share for 4 people. It was plenty of food. The ambiance was loud so don't go in you're wanting to have an intimate dinner. But overall, I'd go again.

I am a Wynn/Vegas regular and am always looking for great restaurants. I had never been to Casa Playa and decided it was time to try it. For appetizers we enjoyed the queso fundido, guac, and papas bravas. All recommendable, especially the queso as it comes with fresh hand made tortillas. The half chicken is tastefully spiced and fiery. You must try the forbidden fruit margarita which was boozy and reminiscent of a mangonada! The obsidian margarita was not memorable.
