La Playa Mexican Restaurant and Mariscos — Restaurant in Richmond

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely incredible!

La Playa is a hidden gem that truly deserves all the praise! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service is friendly and attentive, and the food—oh, the food—is simply unforgettable.

I had the arroz con pollo, and it was hands down the best I’ve ever tasted. Perfectly seasoned rice, tender chicken cooked to perfection, and that rich, comforting flavor that makes you feel like you’re somewhere on the coast enjoying a home-cooked meal.

Every bite was full of flavor and love. You can really tell they care about the quality of their ingredients and the experience of their guests.

If you’re looking for authentic flavor, generous portions, and a place that makes you feel like family, La Playa is the spot. Highly...

I highly suggest giving this...

Usually for $8 I'm getting two full pieces of corn anywhere else, so a small single for that price felt significantly lacking. It was delicious, don't get me wrong, but I have to skip that appetizer moving forward even though it's my favorite appetizer to get. Their house salsa and chips were INCREDIBLE and also very spicy so beware if you lack heat...
