La Playita — Restaurant in Hermosa Beach

From the moment we walked in we were greeted like long term friends, guest in a home. Exceptional customer service that wasn't forced nor was a delayed reaction. I live for a good hole in the wall and this place did not disappoint. The warm hospitality really set the tone for the service we would receive throughout or dining. Enrique was just such a delight. We were the first evening diners and he did not hover or rush us with our orders. He was funny and engaging when it came to speaking with us throughout our entire visit.

I actually ended up visiting here because of word of mouth. I had a friend who also is a southbay local rave about margaritas here, affordability and great food. Well they infact uphold all of those.

I opted for Caribbean rum punch and my partner went with a classic Cadillac Margarita. Each were full of flavor and light enough to compliment dinner and strong enough that after a few drinks you may jave to sit awhile. For food my original choice was the 2 combo plate with tamle and shredded beef. Unfortunately they were out of tamales so I doubled up on my tacos.

The shredded beef was juicy and full of flavor. Seasoned to perfection and non fatty. My side of rice and beans was very generous and the tacos size was a fair size. My only sadness is tapatio hot sauce just isn't spicy enough for my liking but it complimented my meal . My partner opted for a shredded beef burrito and safe to say we both were using the chips to lap up the remaining mole burrito sauce. Everything was incredible.

They are ada friendly, people friendly and serving up delicious food. Customer service definitely exceeded my expectations and I found my new favorite spot for quick bites in my...

I absolutely love this place. I've been coming here for at least 20 years now though it is hard to count. The food is consistently delicious and I love how they really make an effort to make everything clean and healthy without trying to be overly pushy on making you be healthy. Makes it so easy to order knowing that whatever I get will have healthy ingredients.

It's a classic mexican place in hermosa beach and I support business owners who keep the charm of old hermosa alive and well.

I LOVVVVEEE the shrimp enchiladas and the nachos. The burritos too are amazing as are the tacos.

I find the wait staff to be very accommodating and friendly especially when you solo dine which isn't always the most comfortable way to dine so I appreciate them making an effort for me. It can get very busy here which means you might have to wait, but that's just because the demand for tacos...

We stopped here after a long beach walk and I'm so glad we did! It was recommended to us by someone local and when we passed by, we decided to try it out. Everything about this was a good visit. The staff was very friendly and sociable, the food was fresh and tasty and the atmosphere was wonderful! The prices were also very reasonable compared to most other places in the area. We sat out on the back porch and were able to watch the sun setting with a nice breeze coming through the windows. Our server, Enrique, was excellent and made the visit very fun! It happened to be my birthday and when my boyfriend asked if they could do anything special, our server brought me a muffin and lit a toothpick for a candle! It was so fun and will be something I remember forever, I'm sure. I would definitely recommend visiting La Playita if you are looking for a great place to eat...
