La Playa Taqueria & Mariscos — Restaurant in Austin

I went to this restaurant on my birthday September 4, 2022 at 11:30 PM. When my husband and I entered there were no other customers and only staff working. It was close to closing time so we got our food and quickly ate and headed out. My card was left at the cash register. They locked the doors after we left and the next morning I woke up to $2000 worth of fraudulent charges from MetroPCS in Melrose as well as champs, which are all located near the store and my home on my debit card. I called my bank, canceled the card and went back to the store to speak with the owner and let them know that they have hired employees who take customers cards and commit fraud. The owner would not help me, and would not provide any of the security footage to me or my bank. DO NOT PATRON THIS ESTABLISHMENT IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE STOLEN FROM. The owner should be ashamed of himself, his name is Julian, and I believe the woman who stole my money’s name. Is Danielle working as a cashier. If this is how you do business, you do not deserve to have one and I hope this...

I went today with expectations to get something great to eat as I was hungry from a full day of work. I ordered a mix fajita which in the menu looked like a great dish worth $21. However, when I got the dish, it was very small, first disappointment. Second and the most atrocious part is that the dish had a weird smell. At first I thought it was the table where I was at, or maybe a funky smell from a trash bin. I kept eating the beef and chicken. Then I shared a piece with my girlfriend and she almost threw up. She then smelled the chicken and that was the bad smell. That’s a very bad sign. Hopefully I don’t get food poisoning or I will report these to the Marshall and health department. Then, after stating this to the staff, they charged me $28. No apologies, no restitutions. I will never go back to that place. So...

This place was delicious! Sopes, chalupa, chips, salsa, relleno, carne guisada, and enchiladas: ALL GOOD. Service was totally fine, we got checked on by multiple people. Pay at the counter, I believe. Don't be one of those idiots who sits around getting angry because you're afraid to ask questions or get up out of your seat. (I swear, some of you review writers LOVE finding things to whine about, South Park hit the nail on the head.) From what I could tell they do quite a bit of takeout orders, and perhaps they only do takeout an hour before close. We didn't have any of the michelada drinks, BUT THEY LOOKED INCREDIBLE. I was jealous. Next I will try their breakfast tacos. They offer 3 for $4.99 (2 ingredients, all three the same.) That's a...
