A very short distance from our hotel on Mission Blvd. is a little shop called La Playa. My husband and I had recently had a less-than-stellar meal at a high-end Steakhouse and were ready to sacrifice our tastebuds in an effort to fill our bellies on a dime. Wow.....were we pleasantly surprised. We were greeted by a very friendly staff,... More

Great food! We tried several different items and enjoyed them all. The food was very fresh and so flavorful. The service was fast, efficient and friendly. Talk about value for your money too - we couldn't believe how reasonable the prices were! A definite must go again place!

The food is really good so La Playa. Unfortunately we waited nearly an hour to eat (including waiting in line to order), which took away from the experience. Seating and parking are very limited. Go if it's not crowded. Not worth the wait if crowded.

This place is one of our favorite finds on our vacation in Mission Bay. This small place serves the real deal! Authentic Mexican made by the friendliest people we met. Try their California Burrito...they are amazing! We love this little place....so affordable and good we're going back for our third time tomorrow. Only a few steps away from Catarmaran Resort....

The place is small, but good to take away and eat on the beach. The fish tacos are very good. Best of several Mexican restaurants that were tested in San Diego.

Staying at the Best Western or Catamaran on Mission? This is your place, right around the corner. The pork is the best meat, tacos are soft and fresh, chips made on the premises, salsa thick with tomatoes, onions and cilantro. This little hole in the wall rivals the best Mexican restaurants in S CA for food quality, price and convenience.... More

This is great authentic mexican restaurant and right across from the beach. A very nice walk after your day tanning or whatever. The food is cheap and definitely worth the drive if your a little far from the beach. I would go again.

Most of the other reviews here are spot on. Very good cuisine at rock bottom prices. A nice place to sit out in the fresh air and eat while enjoying the warm California sunshine.

This is a great little place, and the appeal for me is that it is a little dive mom & pop hole-in-the-wall kind of place. Great food, even it the ambience isn't exactly where you want to take your wife for her birthday. The whole family seems to be chipping in with cooking, cleaning, etc. I loved it, and so... More
