    Since 1973
    Terrence T.

    Visited some friends in Playa Del Rey and was a little hungry. So they took me here to Hacienda Playa and I loved it! It's a family owned restaurant established in 1973 and serves the best Mexican cuisine (in my opinion). This restaurant's ambiance has everything. The waitstaff is friends, fun and gives great service! A full bar, an old school arcade game and an aquarium! Big screen televisions for sport, news updates and more! When we were there they had a live jazz band performing. Other nights include karaoke, watching football and even dueling pianos! We ordered margaritas and albondiga (meatball) soup as appetizer! Then fajitas with your choice of corn or flour tortillas and an enchilada platter as the main course. They brought out chips and three different salsas. It was so delicious. Highly recommend going for lunch, happy hour and/or dinner!

    came to check out "The Pain Management Band" playing on the patio! It was a blast, they had the patio rocking. The food and drinks were good too. Would definitely come back.

    Combination place with crunchy tacos and enchilada
    Marissa M.

    Stopped here for lunch on a Monday with my boyfriend and his mom. Immediately our server was kind and inviting and sure to let us know our dog could sit outside with us. He made jokes throughout the meal which we loved, an incredible and welcoming atmosphere. I believe his name was Elberto. The complimentary chips and salsa which came out before anything else. I particularly loved the red salsa but my boyfriend and his mom liked the green more. The chips were fresh and yummy. I ordered a fish burrito which wasn't on the menu. I was hoping for it to be Baja fried fish with all the normal fixings but it was grilled so didn't have the flavor I was expecting. The burrito however was pretty good. It was quality food but nothing crazy impressive. My boyfriend got the fajita burrito which he seemed to really enjoy. His mom for the combination plate with two hard tacos and an enchilada which she really liked. She noted that the crunchy taco was actually crunchy and wasn't oily. She also got their soup and loved it and would highly recommend! Overall a good meal and great service. I plan on coming back to try something new!

    Bean and cheese burrito

    Ordered a bean and cheese burrito. Too much beans, and cheese was kind of chunky. Overall, I wouldn't buy again. Save your money for taco bell.

    Vibe 10/10 (dive bar + karaoke) Location 9/10…read moreParking Ample street parking Staff 10/10 Food 8.5/10 We come here often, and it never fails to deliver that fun, no-frills dive bar energy. The space is awesome. Two bars, one on each side, and a massive back patio that really opens things up. The left side (Bar 2) is where the karaoke happens, and that's when the place really comes alive. It pulls in a great crowd and turns the whole night into an experience. Overall vibe is cozy, relaxed, and very down to earth. Food is solid, but the veggie burger with onion rings is the star. Easily the thing we keep coming back for. Drink selection is moderate, but the bartenders are flexible and will pretty much make whatever you're in the mood for. Prices are reasonable, which makes it even easier to hang out for a while. The back patio is a big win, especially for groups. Great spot to step out, get some air, and still keep the energy going. The bartenders are genuinely friendly and make the place feel welcoming. You'll meet all kinds of people here, but everyone shares the same easygoing, friendly vibe. Overall, a fun, reliable spot when you want a laid-back night with a little personality.

I had a Stella Artois on tap, and the bartender was very kind. As a V.B. local, I appreciate how much this place reminds me of where I grew up. Totally recommend this place if you're looking for a last minute casual drink with light entertainment. It's right by the beach too, so take a gander if you want!!

I've visited this spot through several management changes, but I'm really rooting for P.V. House to stay. Everything from the flawless service to the menu is top-tier. If you miss those authentic New Orleans flavors as much as I do, the Voodoo Chicken Pasta is a must-try; it captures that NOLA spirit perfectly. I also highly recommend the White Lotus cocktail--it's surprisingly sweet for a whiskey drink and absolutely delicious. Playa Vista finally has the upscale sports lounge it deserves at P.V. House. The vibe is high-end yet comfortable, and the service is some of the best I've encountered. While it's surprisingly peaceful even on game nights, don't let the lack of a crowd fool you--the food is a grand slam. It's the perfect Playa Vista hidden gem for great food and catching the game!

Good and passionate crowd, but small space to accommodate need. Service is quite fast and courteous. Special drinks are offered especially during the World Cup. Tried quesadilla and nachos. Both reheated dishes and obviously last nights leftovers. Even the lettuce and salsa looked and tasted old. Nachos were ok - obviously old and burned on the outskirts of the plate (apparently you can burn nachos!!) . Come here to watch the game and meet with your friends - that's what I'll do. Don't expect quality of food.

The pretzel with beer cheese and "spicy mustard" were okay! Cheese is a bit liquids for my stats and mustard is just slightly brown mustard. Beers here are always great! Can't complain there.

It's clear they've put intentional effort into improving this week, as service was a highlight for us. Our waiter, Sunny, was so polite, quick, and communicative. He had a lot of tables to cover, as it was a packed and chaotic room during the Mexico vs. Ecuador game last night. The N17 burger and fries (both the regular shoe string fries and sweet potato fries) were fantastic! Both were cooked just right, very flavorful, and the fries were nice and crispy. The atmosphere and design of the restaurant in front isn't your typical "sports bar" - it feels more like a cute, sunny brunch restaurant with high-quality screens for sports viewing - but the clientele feels just like any other sports bar would :) It was very lively and fun to watch with others last night. For the World Cup, they've opened up their event space in the back which is not set up like a typical restaurant - but it was great for viewing! The screens are HUGE and very high-quality.

Listen, I understand being busy is one thing but blatantly ignoring paying customers that have been sitting and waiting to be served for 20-30 minutes after only ordering two drinks is strange to me. And then to come back and ask if we wanted to remove the items we already ordered without us having to bring it up just lets me know that you remembered all this time but chose not to serve us until someone had to go ask to be served AGAIN. Even other venues that are 5x bigger than this one have better customer service/attentiveness. We also ordered the bottomless mimosas and only got through 2 bottles because it took them 20 minutes to bring out the first one and another 15 to bring out the second one when it was asked for. And on top of that, they act like they're doing YOU a favor by bringing out the food & drinks that YOU paid for. I have never written a negative review before but this experience was awful; just a waste of money &, what should have been, a good time.
