Playas Azul Restaurant

Playa Azul Pros: Caesar salad Cons: nothing more

FOOD: Ordered the coctel campechano and a tostada de ceviche de pescado. The coctel was tasty enough. The tostada on the other hand was not. Although I know some people do this, it is not typical, normal, or cool for a Mexican restaurant to serve a ceviche tostada slathered with mayo (underneath the ceviche). This should and does require a fair warning to the person ordering it so a choice can be made. An ?authentic? tostada de ceviche is NOT served with mayo and the only people (family) I know who do this were raised in the states. The waitress?s comment that customers know to ask for their tostada to be prepared without the mayo makes no sense as it is not a listed ingredient on the menu. Pros: Decent food. Buckets of beer. Cons: Poor service. more

This place is the place to be in the Mission District. This is a very clean restaurant with good and authentic food. I recommend trying their 'fillete relleno' - it's to die for. more

Met a Mexican girl on a flight and asked her to recommend a restaurant where she would eat, suggesting one of the Taquerias. To my surprise, she said that there are no burritos in Mexico and recommended this restaurant. Went there and had absolutely great food, just like what I had on a trip to Mexico city. Authentico, delicious, spicy. The atmosphere is pure family and the staff is friendly. Go there and get the taste of real Mexico. This is where the Mexicans eat. Pros: Authentic food, Great taste, Best Salsa more
