So last evening around 8:10pm I and 2 friends walked in as we noticed their hour sign out front to be open until 10pm. We were seated and drink orders taken then almost immediately were asked what we wanted because they closed at 9 and their kitchen was closing NOW! Hesitantly we asked if we should just not order or what, but the waitress said no, I just need to put in your order... the salsa came with chips then and it looked like the absolute bottom of the barrel salsa and was pretty gross looking although it had a salsa taste and at this point we were contemplating just paying for our beverages and leaving, but we have been here many many times and always had great food & service so since I had already seen the order being put in thought we would just see it through. My friends plate was sizzling hot chicken something and my other friend said his chicken cowboy enchiladas were good, but my beef cb enchiladas tasted like the meat was scrapped from again the bottom of the cutting board dried small poop! Rice is what it is, but the beans after sitting on my plate with some of the "cheese" sauce running into them was looking like melted nasty something after you microwave un-fresh un-real food the way it was glistening in an oozy kind of way. Very dissatisfied with last nights experience here! read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Fort Worth. I have never had a bad meal. The service is great and they have a great selection of Tex-Mex dishes. My favorite is the beef fajitas Enchiladas which are cheese enchiladas topped with beef fajitas meat plus a side of rice and beans. I see people getting a large shrimp cocktail in a big glass that looks yummy. You can go down the street to a tourist destination and wait an hour to be seated or come here where locals know the food is good, affordable, and quicker. read more

We usually go the the Weatherford location but visited here when another dining option didn't pan out. Service and food were both very good and we had no complaints, but it just didn't seems quite as nice as the Weatherford location. That being said, it is still a very solid option for Tex-Mex near the historic district in Ft. Worth. read more

Nice local owned business with a few locations in Fort Worth. I been coming here for years. Staff always friendly and attentive. Great tacos, fajita nachos and my favorite cheese enchiladas. The drinks are great here too, my fave is frozen Margarita swirl made with house-made sangria. Tasty and strong. read more

Food was horrible. Ordered maya shrimp cocktail and it had like 5 big shrimp and tomato juice!! Way over priced and management was rude

I searched Yelp and Google for decent Tex-Mex/Mexican near the Stockyards, but initially overlooked this place because it was 3 1/2 stars and there were several 4-star places around. However, since one of those had an enormous line, and another was closed, I ended up here. I'm glad I did! The chile relleno with brisket was outstanding. The made-at-the-table guacamole was fantastic. And the margaritas were... really not that bad (a little on the sweet side, but not nearly as sweet and syrupy as most places). The ambiance is very casual but pleasant and clean. The service is prompt and very friendly. And the prices are quite reasonable! read more

About your average mexican food taste. Server was friendly and fast and food came quick and hot.

I've only ate here twice, both times the entrees were good and the ceviche was awesome!! The nachos and salsa with some lime added were great as well. read more

La Playa Maya - Awesome ceviche!! - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

A busy place! The portions are quite large. The guacamole was okay and tasted great after we added some salt. The cowboy tacos were a little bland and could use some more meat. The fish had a lot of flavor and was quite delicious. The service was great. The atmosphere was cultural and casual read more

Very good tortilla soup , I ordered beef burrito bowl , and yes was everything I expected , very tasty and fresh, the tortilla soup was equally very good and had very tasty cheese in it , clean place and the servers was very friendly read more

Great Mexican food! Friends who live in Fort Worth brought me to LPM for a casual dinner. The menu is expansive and it looks like they specialize in seafood but I was in the mood for some chicken enchiladas verdes and was not disappointed. The sauce was rich and just a little spicier than I am used to but absolutely fantastic! Two enchiladas with rice and beans was more than filling and tasty from start to finish. Also, had a jumbo 'rocks' Margarita and it, too, was fantastic. I can't wait to get back to Fort Worth. I am definitely coming back for one of the seafood-based dishes. read more

Outstanding! This is my favorite place for authentic Mexican food. It's always my first choice when we have guests in town.

If you're looking for great "hole in the wall" Mexican Food that's authentic, this is it! Their chips are crispy, their hot sauce is homemade and on some days has a little more kick than others. You HAVE to try (order the small) the appetizer, Mexican Shrimp Cocktail.....MMMM....fresh diced onions, tomatoes, cilantro, shrimp and that sauce! They have fish and chicken menu items for the non-Mex appetite. Their cheese enchiladas are the best! You can get a cold cerveza too! Food is served FAST! Best part is two can eat, tip and all for $20 bucks! Go to the location on Central Drive, 50 yards west of N. Main ST (Just north of N. Main @ Northside Drive) ENJOY!!! read more

Gross. If I could give it zero stars, I would. Everything tasted like it was pre made or from a can. Nothing more to say.

I love the fish tacos and the shrimp enchiladas. The guacamole was ok but the rest of the food made up for it. Nice place to go outside the stockyards. Wait staff is good as well. Very good experience. read more

First time eating here and I was pleasantly surprised by my overall experience. The inside is very aesthetically pleasing (to me) and our server was very nice and patient. Although, the service started to get a little slow when there were only three families inside the restaurant... but, we didn't mind it and it gave us more time to chat. Overall, the food was delicious and freshly made, plus the drinks were even better. Definitely recommend the lemonade or horchata. Can for sure say that I felt at home with this place. If you're looking for some real Mexican food (and a few Tex-Mex options), this is the spot. read more

La Playa Maya - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

My Son and I had lunch here. The food was great. My son ordered an Arnold Palmer. Half Tea and Half Lemonade. We spent 50 dollars plus the tip. He asked the Manager for an Arnold Palmer to go and the Manager charged him. The Waitress didn't do a good job either. She didn't check on us. The Manager was rude and didn't greet the Customers at all. I've been going to The Playa Maya for several years and I never had this kind of experience. They need a good Manager. Someone who likes there job! read more

Service is average, so are the drinks. The happy hour specials are probably the best thing here. Don't pay full price. The chicken chimichangas smothered in cheese with rice and beans are probably the most feasible option. I like that they use chicken strips instead of shredded chicken. read more

Excellent food at reasonable prices. For starters we had the Signature Queso....it comes out with a dallop of guacamole, sour cream, and beef which, when mixed in, comes out terrific. Both my date and I ordered the Mexican platter: two beef enchiladas, one cheese taco, a hard taco, and beans and rice. The beef used in the enchiladas was shredded, not ground, which made it so much better. The cheese taco had so much cheese in it that every bite left me with a long string of cheese hanging out of my mouth. The taco was so so and so were the side dishes. The waitstaff is very attentive and the atmosphere is decent. read more

I've been here twice in the past few months. The first time I swore I would never go back. Thanks to a gift card from the boss I returned to eat my words. This time we started with the seafood cocktail. TOP NOTCH, everything was fresh and clean and we enjoyed it with some really good top shelf margaritas. Next I ordered the whole catfish as did my dining partner. The table got really quiet as we dug into some the best fish I've had in a long time. Glad I returned and tried something besides the standard enchiladas. read more

One of my fav Mexican joints. nothing special about chips and salsa but food is great. Ribeye tacos rock, and tasty margaritas. Much of the menu focuses on seafood, especially shrimp. The charro beans are the best I have had anywhere. read more

So happy to find this place after joe t. Yeah seafood n authentic Mexican. They take credit cards n there's actually Mexican people here. Salsa is way better n the prices are comparable to portions. Way more variety in.the menu too. True diamond in the.rough. read more

Very disappointed. My coworker told me how great this place was and even suggested the Cowboy Enchiladas. I opted for those but substituted chicken for the beef. There's a very good chance that the beef would have made all the difference but the chicken was dry chunks of flavorless chicken. It had plenty of seasoning on it judging by the color but I guess they cooked the flavor right out of it. I can't review the location as we did carry out. It seems that others enjoy their food, I may try something else next time but definitely will avoid the chicken. read more

This place is disgusting! I decided to go here to celebrate my anniversary after all the reviews I found online and never ever going again. Supposedly their shrimp cocktail is amazing.. well the shrimp was not cleaned and certainly not fresh. Also the prices they have in the drink menu are not correct.. which is false advertisement and illegal. According to the menu the mayaritas are 6.76 they charged us 15 dls per margarita? And they barely had any alcohol My husband had the carne asada. The carne was good but the vegiiea were soggy and cold... ahh and the price in the menu was 16 dls and they charged us 19 which is pretty expensive for Mexican food read more

Great food! Good service! Clean bathrooms. Great frozen margaritas. We had the tres amigos the beef fajita meat was delicious. I would definitely come back and eat here again next time I and at Dallas stockyards read more

pretty good. Shrimp cocktail was great and the pitcher of margarita's were yummy! salsa, chips, and flour tortilla's were ok- but we'll probably return. read more

Ironically the seafood is no bueno at this restaurant. I understand this establishment is located in north Texas hours away from any coast. However, the prices will have you daydreaming of Mexican men fishing off the gulf and rushing it via planes to the chef in the kitchen while you so impatiently wait at your table snacking on the chips and salsa. Unfortunately the experience is far from that. I ordered the seafood enchiladas and the crab and shrimp tasted as if they were bought at the local Fiesta frozen artificial section during their lent specials. My wife ordered the "filete empanizado" and I could swear the chef must of ran out salt, pepper and all seasonings shortly before we arrived. Bottom line, the food is not terrible but for the price you are better off visiting other fine establishments, or you can simply order chicken or beef instead of the seafood. read more

Pleasant experience dining in for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Only noticed three items on the kid's menu but they had no complaints and mostly enjoyed what they ordered. Great sauce on the Camarones-a-la-Mexicana, spicy and tomato-y as it should be. Enchiladas del Mar also had a good sauce, great filling, tasty enchiladas. PERFECTLY cooked vegetables on our plates, just wish they had some seasoning; yes the flavor and texture of the vegetables comes through beautifully, but some simple seasoning while these cook would enhance that enormously, but that, of course, is just my opinion. Appreciated the toast to lap up the little remaining sauce... but just wasn't impressed... nothing to complain about... worth a try if Mexican/Tex-Mex style seafood is something you enjoy read more

Seafood is good, front-in staff a little preoccupied (arrived 1 hour till close)...waitstaff attentive to your needs.

The Food is trash. The salsa, queso, mango margarita, enchiladas, and the rice and beans....all awful! I was so disappointed.

One of our go to places for lunch on the north side. Fast, friendly service with authentic food. Love the enchiladas!

This is one of the better tex-mex establishments I have had the pleasure to eat at. I love their cheese enchiladas and their beef brisket crispy tacos. My girlfriend loves their Caldo Maya seafood soup. The wait staff is always friendly, but the older woman that hosts is curt and unfriendly. The manager is wonderful, and used to work at the Sunset location which is also very good. I highly recommend La Playa Maya to anyone looking for good quality and fresh food. read more

The food wasnt bad but it wasnt great either. The waitress was nice enough but she was really slow, the speed of food coming out of the kitchen was just as bad. (note the Also, it didnt bother me too much because i know spanish but it was rude of her to keep trying to speak spanish b/c the rest of our party was not fluent. read more

Eat here about once a week because it is close to us, the food of pretty good without being overpriced, and the servers know us. OK salsa, but really good guacamole (table side, you can tweak the ingredients to make it more/less spicy for instance). The Cowboy Tacos are great, decent enchiladas, chile relleno is good, and love the brisket tostados. Overall, a good frequent haunt with fairly good margaritas, and good mix of price-food-service. That said, don't drive here from out of town. read more

There hasn't been a dish that my friends or I have not liked. The fish tacos are excellent. I haven't been on a weekend to know how the service is when it's busy. No complaints on weeknights. read more

The only good thing I found at this restaurant was the margarita and water that I drank. I ordered the fish tacos and my husband ordered enchiladas. His beef enchilada tasted fishy, the rice had no flavor and my fish must have been catfish or something. By the time I got near the end of my second taco the fish went weird and had a taste I am unable to describe. The server continually passed us by and went to other tables. I'm not sure if it was because we were White and not Hispanic. It was clear that I was finished eating and it took her a long time to come and asked if we were done. Then it took longer to get the check. The restaurant was not that busy, so I was confused at why she was helping others more than us. Our server was fairly nice. I would not recommend this place to anyone. EVER read more

I stopped by for a little appetizer and dinner on a Tuesday night a little late in the evening. My food was awesome. We had the chicken enchiladas and fajitas and both were hot, freshly made and delicious. We did not have time for cocktails but will definitely make a return trip to the restaurant to try the happy hour. A Very satisfied customer. read more

This place was great! Fajitas were amazing! My husband and I got the fajitas for two and it was more than enough. The service was amazing. Drinks always full and waiter very happy and helpful. read more

La Playa Maya - Fajitas for two, quesadilla, and Mexican dinner. So good! - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

I had pretty high expectations going into La Playa Maya since I've heard such great things about it. The food was mediocre at best. My boyfriend's ceviche didn't taste as fresh as the other restaurant we go to, and my cheese enchiladas tasted a little chewy, which I've never experienced before. However, I must say that the server that we had was very nice. My advice - go to El Rancho Grande which is nearby. The food is better, in the same price range, and has service that is just as good - if not better. read more

Wow I'm just disgusted. I found a roach in my rice. When I told staff they denied it. I won't be coming here again.
