This Mexican spot is located on the west side of Catalina at the corner of S Elena in Riviera Village. The decor is very authentic for a taco shop you might find in Mexico and it feels inviting and relaxed. We had grilled and crispy fish tacos which were both delicious. The loaded Carnitas burrito was just the right size, filling but not overwhelming. Nothing tasted greasy or fatty and everything was very fresh and flavorful. They have a nice salsa bar with half a dozen levels of heat to keep everyone happy. The food here is just good, and they use quality ingredients that you can taste the difference. Service was friendly and efficient so it is easy to get in and out if you need to do a quick lunch. The summary is fresh, tasty, food at a reasonable price with great service. Must try if you are a fan of Mexican food.

I ordered a chicken tostada and it was delicious. My Husband ordered 2 beef tacos with rice and beans and he was given a good portion. He said it was good. They have a covered salsa bar which makes it hygienic instead of the open ones. The staff is so nice & friendly. They also have a restroom if you need one. The restaurant is quaint. Btw, they also gives you a complimentary chips & salsa. You get a 4% discount if you pay cash. We’ll definitely come back next time we’re in the area.

We live within walking distance of this place and we will be back. We paid $15/burrito but mine was huge and lasted me two meals. Very generous portions. They also have a salsa bar. We loved sampling all the different flavors. Food was great!

Casa Playa was already one of our favorite places when we decided to use them to cater our daughter’s third birthday party. The food was delicious and the service was superb. Among many things, we got a tray of the crunchy chicken tacos based on the restaurant’s recommendation, and they were the hit of the party. I would not hesitate to use their catering service again. The value was incredible.

We had thought of going here and after looking at other places along the street this one still looked very appealing. I got a California burrito, chimichanga style with carne asada, and my wife got a 2-taco lunch plate (one carne asada, one chicken) with rice and refried beans. Food was very good and satisfying, especially the chimichanga. The meats, both carne asada and chicken were good and the texture was more finely cut than chunks, as we usually see for Mexican dishes. Staffer was nice and atmosphere was fun, including cute names for different salsas at the little salsa bar.

Truly great people working here! Everything is delish but they have a veggie burrito that is maybe the best item in the menu and as a meat eater I’m impressed at how filling it is, also makes for a great hangover cure!

Welcoming staff, great food and excellent salsa bar. We got some street tacos, a burrito and a carnitas plate. The carnitas and pastor were fresh and flavorful. Good chips and a variety of salsas from the self serve salsa bar, yum. 10/10

This place has a beachy casual vibe. I always seem to find parking in the metered spaces. their servings are generous with good selection of salsa, and I love their tostadas to use as chips. Friendly and fast but it can get busier during peak meal times. It is one of my favorites for fat burritos. Recommendation for a stop after or in the middle of a beach walk.
