I recommend a visit at least.

What a gem. Me and…read morefiancé had dinner late last night 5/15 @ 9pm, we did make a reservation at that time and checked in early and they sat us down 10 mins early ((looooved that)). We ordered the Crab cake, perfectly packed together where it wasn't too dense but gently molded. It was packed with umami and this refreshing citrus after taste..it was so damn good. French fries, were a must crispy tasty fries did not disappoint. Spanish octopus, cooked to perfection- lots of interesting flavors and textures we enjoyed. Lastly we shared the tacos (1 cod 1 shrimp), tasty fat tacos. Accompanied with fresh chips and the guac and salsa that was tasty. What really set it for us, was while we were wrapping up the meal. Me and fiancé were toasting to my late dad, today was his birthday. Well we asked for the check and planned to skip dessert. Well before we left our server had packed us the key lime pie to take home..just because. God lord, the timing of toasting my dad, and the generosity had me literally fighting tears. It really was a remarkable meal, we loved every bite. Our server whoever you are your f*cking wondeful and the team you are doing amazing work thank you.

She works at the deli/sandwich counter and always has a positive attitude, even when I get a little particular with my order . She's patient, friendly, attentive, and truly makes customers feel taken care of. Anyone who has worked with the public knows how hard it is to maintain that level of kindness and professionalism consistently, and Lisa really stands out. She's absolutely the kind of employee a company should value and hold onto because she creates loyal customers and a genuinely pleasant experience every time.

Baked french toast: Got this because it looked pretty popular by the look of how much was already taken. Can see why it's popular. 3. Mushroom egg souffle: it's okay. the edges are too rubbery. 4. Pepperoni pizza: not great. Dry. 5. Regular and spicy pokey: spicy and a bit too salty. I think it's hotter than the poke at Jus Poke. The regular one is not overly salted compared to Gelson's which was way too salty. Not sure if I'd come back to try other items in the hot deli but maybe other pastries and the poke.

The flavor was very mild and light which some may prefer, but I like it more saucy. The noodles were all very soft, which again some may prefer but I like some thrown in that are a little burnt/crisp. The lime was a good addition to add citrus flavor and the chicken was good. Maybe I need to try other dishes on the menu as this was a limited time option that perhaps needs a little more work/feedback! A positive was very friendly staff and good service!

I've been dining here for eight years, and it has never disappointed. There are so many reasons I…read morekeep coming back. First, the food. It's consistently delicious every single time. My personal favorites are the lobster mac 'n' cheese, mussels, fish and chips, and the lobster bisque. Everything is flavorful, fresh, and prepared with care. Second, the bar. The drinks are perfectly balanced--strong enough to enjoy, but never overpowering. There's nothing worse than ordering a cocktail that tastes like juice with zero kick. That definitely doesn't happen here. The El Chapo margarita (along with many others I've tried) will have you feeling warm and fuzzy after the first sip! The location is another huge plus. If you enjoy people-watching, this is the spot. You get a perfect view of all the action, which makes the experience even more fun. Most importantly, the staff. Joe, Nicole, and (I believe his name is El D) El Dorado are fantastic. They're friendly, personable, attentive, and always seem to anticipate what you need before you even ask. They offer great suggestions and are wonderful conversationalists. They truly make you feel welcome, and if they have a moment, they'll happily stop and chat. I also want to give a special shoutout to Joe, the manager. I was organizing an event for my women's group--about 20 guests--and needed a venue that could work within a firm budget. When I called, Joe didn't hesitate to accommodate us. Many other South Bay locations either didn't respond or were outrageously expensive. This was seamless from start to finish. Joe worked with me to select the appetizers and music, ensured we always had water refilled and glasses topped off, and made sure every detail was handled. We had plenty of wine and appetizers, and the front area was reserved just for our group. The event was wonderful, and Joe's kindness and professionalism made it all so easy. Everyone loved Joe! Highly recommend Playa Hermosa--this place truly is a gem.

It's unexpectedly large for a place by the shore, and I was thrilled because even though I checked Yelp and Google, I couldn't find much info. They're open super early and stay open late, and it's just such a gem especially since that area tends to shift toward restaurants or other businesses. This neighborhood really needed a good grocery store, and they have everything: fresh meat, drinks, snacks, fruits just like a full local grocery. The staff was really nice and laid-back, though the only downside is that parking is super limited and intersection it's tough to get in and out since it's near a small with a red light. Still, I'm really glad it's there, and I want to give a big shout-out to the local folks to support this place. The prices are really reasonable, and we need to keep these local businesses thriving. they're the heart of the community. I gave them five stars. I just hope they can clean it up a bit inside, maybe freshen up the shelves or ceiling. But overall, I'm so happy it's here, and we need more of these places in our city.
