Authentic Mexican flavorful food on a Sunday afternoon. Many customers arriving. A single mariachi singer sang beautifully against a karaoke setup. Sounded like a whole mariachi group was inside restaurant!

Found this place and not much to look at from outside or inside. But the food was delicious. And have a good menu. Just try it once and you will agree.

Little hole in the wall, family owned and family run. Great little spot for a home cooked meal. I enjoy their enmoladas, caldo de res, albondigas, & their chile colorado We have met the owner once before, she’s very kind and attentive! The staff is very friendly. This will be a regular place visit for my family & I. Thank you Playa Baja staff for being so welcoming and attentive to us!

Authentic Mexican food. My tacos Al Pastor were awesome and so were the beans and rice! Homemade chips and salsa for appetizers. My girlfriend had the Chile Relleno and that was great too!
