La Playa is always a safe go to when you want your food quickly. Tonight we were starving and it worked in our favor. We ordered an appetizer as we sat down the tableside guacamole, and queso, and when those arrived, we ordered our meal everything came out quickly. Our server was nice. If you want a slower experience hold off on ordering your meals. read more

The weirdest thing I've wanted recently is really good refried beans. We hardly ever go to a TexMex place because my other half doesn't generally like it, and the black beans just don't do it for me. We decided to stop at this adorable house on South Hemphill for dinner tonight. Great service and we loved that it was just like dining in someone's home. (They even have an upstairs party room for larger gatherings. ) Anyway, I took one bite of the beans here and almost cried with happiness. Just a simple order of cheese enchiladas with beans and rice. I know where comfort food will come from from now on. read more

We were looking for a place to eat before the rodeo, and our usual places were packed (yeah, we should've planned it better), but La Playa Maya off Camp Bowie came through!! I called while on the road, asked if they could take a party if 6, and they knew who we were as soon as we walked in the door. Everyone enjoyed their food, margaritas were delicious. The place was cute, but a little cold when we sat near the windows, but that could've just been the weather. Almost forgot -- Great fajita nachos, too!! read more

Our last visit just a few weeks ago on a Friday evening was just blah. The crowd, service and food seemed to be lacking all over the Restaurant. Our waiter seemed to be a bit confused about our food and beverage order and seemed despondent on waiting on our party. I have always enjoyed visiting the restaurant and the food. Maybe someone was just having a night off. It's okay. read more

The atmosphere and ambience is the best thing about this place. The food was horrendous. The lunch chicken special was played with no thought in mind for presentation, the chicken was undercooked, veggies were obviously bag steamed and unseasoned, rice was presented decently but was overcooked and mushy. The service was slow and the manager was incredibly disrespectful when I asked if they honor a military veterans discount; I was laughed at and told my total. I will not be returning to this establishment and do not recommend eating here under any circumstances. read more

La Playa Maya - #8 Lunch Special - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Not sure why I haven't reviewed La Playa Maya before. We have been coming to their Westside location for years. It's our go to Mexican food place in Fort Worth. Restaurant has a nice dining area with tables and booths and a small bar. There is a patio you can enjoy when the weather is nice. Everyone (Maria, Lupe, Bianca, Millie, to name a few) is warm and friendly. They treat you like family. Service is prompt, chips and salsa arrive almost immediately after you are seated. Great way to make you feel welcome. And their food is great! My last visit I had their Carne a la Mexicana, one of my go to orders. Portions are large enough for me to have take home of 1-2 more meals. My husband likes variety when he comes so he ordered the Tres Amigos. Can't make up your mind? Just order this dish and get a taco, an enchilada, and a fajita. My only complaint about this place is we always eat way too much, it's that good. I highly recommend them if you're looking for a great Mexican restaurant. Maybe I'll see you there. read more

This food is hand made with authentic Mexican flare. You can taste the roasted chiles in the sauce and salsa. The service fast and the maitre d was courteous, exceptionally detailed in description of menu items. The restaurant is presented as an Aztec/Mexican ambience with indoor and covered patio seating. read more

I highly recommend La Playa Maya restaurant. Food is wonderful. Service is great. Wait staff are friendly. My family goes quite often.

This place was a such a find!!!! We were on our way back from Fossil Rim, super hungry and with a hankering for Mexican food. So I pulled up Yelp, and randomly picked this location. All I can say is that the food and the staff were fantastic . My wife got the fajitas and raved about it. I got the whole fried catfish al la Mexicans. It came with the most delicious side cup of fish soup. The rice and beans were excellent. I recommend you come and visit this place read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch and shared the appetizer plate with my Mom. It was more than enough for us to share and we really enjoyed it. We got a mixture of chicken & beef. Service was good, friendly & fast. The salsa is the only thing I would recommend for improvement based upon this visit. It tastes very much like medium Pace picante sauce. read more

Went to another place that was closed for some reason, another family that was there recommended La Playa Maya - and it did not disappoint. Staff is extremely attentive, friendly and fast. Food is delicious. The nacho app is individually topped chips, so everyone has is loaded!!! Pure genius!!!!! Salsa is really good, right amount of heat and flavor. Had the sour creme pollo enchiladas - chicken was seasoned and very tasty, sauce was not overpowering. All around awesome spot! read more

We live just down the street from this location, so it is a frequent stop for us. The food is great and the prices are affordable. Their margaritas are great and I recommend getting the "skinny" margarita. It is always bustling with locals and the ambiance is fun. read more

It had been a long time since we dined at any LPM, so we treated grandsons Evan and Austin at this location. Their complimentary chips and salsa are very nice. Thin, crispy chips and tasty salsa with a nice kick of heat. We started our meal with a small order of meat, bean and cheese nachos and the queso flameado with chorizo. Both were very good. For entrees we each had something different. My wife ordered the fajita medley for one. Evan had the chicken enchiladas. Austin the child's cheese enchilada and I the beef enchiladas. It all arrived hot and everything was delicious. Our server Johnnie was excellent. The ambiance is very quiet and relaxing. We will be back. read more

This is our last day in Ft Worth, TX and we returned to La Playa Maya for lunch and when I tell you that they understand the quality of good service it is not just a statement but Really True..

Went for a company meeting, they placed us at the big table in a room. Server was a nice lady. Latin music playing. Skillet food options. Good protein portions. Soft flour tortilla, corn tortilla good. Servers check in time was spaced really good, each order that was taken, server was right there. Salsa is spicy, just add some lemon on the salsa and chips it should be better. Overall. Good experience read more

It was our first time eating at this quaint Mexican restaurant, and we really enjoyed it. The menu is quite large, and in addition to traditional Mexican fare, it also includes a lot of variety, including several seafood options. We could make a meal of the queso flameado, which is prepared table side and is delicious. The carne asada is excellent, as were the enchiladas. Good margaritas too! We will definitely be going back for a second round. read more

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

On 1/26 my wife and I dined at this location. It is one of our go-to restaurants for Tex Mex in Fort Worth. We eat here a lot. They were crazy busy Friday night and we were sat in the back of the restaurant in a tight spot with other 4-top tables. Two women sat behind behind us and were there before us. When they finished they stood by their table speaking while a guy and a young woman waited nearby to bus the table. The ladies stood at their table for a few minutes at most. When they left the Latino guy, busboy, said "pinche perro" to his coworker, referring to one of the women. I found it highly disrespectful! I know what that mean! If this restaurant thinks so little of the people paying them, keeping their doors open, why do I care to spend any money there if their staff is going to show such degenerate behavior?! It highly disrespectful to speak of somebody like that. If he had said it in English and not Spanish and the customer heard him, surely he would lose his job. He said it in Spanish because he doesn't think the white people sitting around him might not know what he is saying. TELL YOUR STAFF TO DO BETTER AND KEEP THEIR OPINIONS OF CUSTOMERS OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS WHEN THEY ARE OUT ON THE FLOOR. Do. Better. You're not the only Tex Mex joint in town. I give 4 stars for the service and food my wife and I experienced. read more

I had shrimp cocktail then was dreadfully sick 3 hours later with D&V. Will be reporting them to the Heath Department of the City.

Great food and customer service LOVE IT!! Beat tostada and chips in the world!! Been going there since 24 years ago.

The food is absolutely amazing and very authentic, the prices are reasonable and the portions are a good size. The only thing is I think they need more personnel, the waiter was very nice but seem to have too many tables for one person to attend. read more

I got food poisoning after ordering the fish. My review was taken down. The fish was undercooked or the scallops and shrimp were bad. Do not order the fish. read more

The server was ok. We ordered shrimp tacos they brought us fish we told them we ordered shrimp . They removed them said they would replace . Here's where it's sketchy they took them back cut up the fish and brought them back . Said it was shrimp . I should have called the police for being deceived . Not only did they charge me for shrimp they also tried to charge me to fish as well. Double dipping as well . I hope their management reads this. I plan on calling the actual owner over this . If there is less then a one this is it read more

La Playa Maya - tables and chairs in a restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Love this place for their ceviche tostadas and micheladas but their service just keeps getting worse and worse. It's so trash and their manager enables the terrible behavior. When we complain about service there's no apology from her just an annoyed and forced ok. They need to get rid of her so they can redo their whole service system again with their wait staff. read more

Good food, friendly staff, Drinks are pretty good. I can say I haven't found any complaints. This is my go to spot for some good food and a cold drink. Place is pretty clean. Maybe a sticky table every now and then but are more than happy to wipe it down for you. read more

Very good! I have my 'First Visit Checklist' for every Tex-Mex Restaurant. Are these items good: Chips? Salsa? Queso? Guac? Margs? Entree? My scores for La Playa Maya: Chips Salsa Queso Margs Entree All boxes checked in my book! I prefer rojo salsa that has the 3 C's: cold, chunky, and cilantro. La Playa's hits it all. Queso is a yellow queso. I tend to prefer queso Blanco, but their Queso supreme was really good. Quac was great, despite me not getting table side quac this time. Margs had the correct ratios of tart and tequila. They taste like they use fresh ingredients and not sweet and sour, my preference. Service was prompt and executed well. My only critique would be that the wait staff didn't bring any personality to the table (pun intended). She didn't introduce herself, which required me to ask for her name at the end. I would have included her name in my review if she was a little more personable. But, she was quick with anything I ordered and was on top of it, so zero complaints, only a suggestion. We are new to the Fort Worth area and have been visiting several local restaurants with hopes to find our 'Go To Tex-Mex Restaurant.' I think we may have finally found it! We will need to try a few more dishes and meet a few more servers in order to solidify that! read more

The wife and I went on Sunday afternoon about 4:30. The place wasn't very busy and we were seated and waited on quickly. The waiter was super polite and attentive. We ordered the Coctel Maya and the beef enchilada plate. When the Coctel Maya arrived, it smelled fishy and we refused to eat it. They were gracious about taking it back and offering us another choice. When the beef enchilada plate arrived, the food wasn't very hot, just warm. We were hungry, and so we ate it anyway. This was our first bad experience with this location. They are usually very good. read more

Great margaritas and their queso flameado is a show stopper. They light the cheese on fire in front of you, pretty cool. I also had their flauta plate with rice and beans. The rice tasted authentic and made me feel at home. The service was fast and ambiance is great for family dinner or grabbing drinks with friends. read more

Went there on a Saturday about 1:45pm. They were only about 30% of capacity. Seated quickly but took over 10 mins to be served water and chips/salsa. Ordered sour cream chicken enchiladas. Had to return them when served as the chicken was chewy and the sour cream looked like it separated which happens after it's frozen and reheated. Tasted off. The waitress acted upset that I had an issue and asked to have it removed from my ticket. Wife's chicken nachos were fair. Chicken still tough and not very hot. read more

We were wanting fajitas, OMG, where has this place been?! Meat well seasoned and tender. Plenty of peppers and onions. Nice little corn or flour tortillas. Crispy beef taco was good; however, the meat was slightly sweet tasting. Rice and beans were nice. Cons: a little runny queso, salsa ok, chips ok. Hey! We came for the fajitas, and they were close to the best I've ever had. We'll, I'll be back!! read more
