What Javonte Moen likes about La Playa Azul:
Local restaurant serving fine Mexican cuisine in an up-scale setting. We went for dinner and ordered two different halibut entrees. Both were fresh, delicious and creative in their own right. The staff was friendly and attentive befitting of a restaurant of this caliber. View all feedback. What Dessie Wisozk doesn't like about La Playa Azul:
Honestly, I only go here because my better half insists on doing dinners here with her friends. And quite frankly, I'm never really happy anywhere we go! But this place is ehhhh..... I mean they served a tostada salad on iceberg lettuce for God's sake (just no, and WHY I WILL SAY THOUGH, I LIKE THEIR STAFF BETTER THAN THEIR FOOD. And that rarely is ever the case!
