Reviews for Marisquería Playa Azul Seafood & Grill in Gainesville, GA
This might be the worst restaurant I have ever been too. When I noticed no one else in the restaurant, that should have been my... first sign. My fiancé and I both ordered Peruvian ceviche that was listed on the menu. Peruvian ceviche is made with a tigermilk, this ceviche was made with just lime. When this was brought to our waitresses attention?She said ?but this is a Mexicanrestaurant?. This is false advertisement. We would not have ordered if we knew. Regardless, the flavor was awful. The shrimpand fish were very uncooked. The octopus (that wasn?t even listed on the menu) tasted 2 days old. The waiter was very nice, butso incredibly disappointing that we had to pay close to $50 for a meal that was not appealing or cooked. Would not recommend. Read more
What I loved: They start you off with a free tostada de ceviche de Marlin. It?s quite good and almost makes you want to order... some along with your order but depending on your dish, you may not get the chance to enjoy due to the portions. The service wasamazing and our server was very attentive with us! The seafood soup was alright. The bread that comes along with it is butteredand toasted. I would get the soup again just for that side of bread. The kid shrimp quesadilla is to die for. Simply delicious.I ordered a ceviche peruano and I was not disappointed! I always get it to go and was saddened to see the portion go downsignificantly. Or maybe it?s because of the dish they brought it out in. The not so good: Getting out of the parking lot is ahassle because Atlanta Hwy is always busy. The parking lot in general is hard to park in because everyone is tightly packed. Ourfood took about 40 minutes to come out. I?m not sure what was going on but other reviews seem to say the same thing about thelong wait time. Be prepared to wait. The music is also very loud and we were seated a little further away from the noise whichwas greatly appreciated. The customer service made the long wait time worth it. There are definitely other dishes that we wouldlike to try. Read more
Magarita was our server during our lunch get together. Food was really fresh and great. I had the Playa Azul Soup.....what a... wonderful surprise. Will definitely return again! Another hidden little gem of a restaurant in Gainesville. Read more
First time here. Had a wonderful experience, everyone was polite and hospitable, prices not bad at all. We will be back.
The place is nice and have some great and delicious food. If you love seafood, you need to stop by and have some. They have some... mixed vegetables with a big chips called "tostada" as the welcoming taste, and that thing is so good. The only not so good, andthat's why I dropped one star, IS THE LOUD music. Very loud Mexican Ranchera music (I think). It was my wife's birthday and shehad chosen this place because of the variety of seafood. But we couldn't talk... we couldn't hear each other. Read more
omg this was some of the freshest and tasty food, great staff too
The food is very delicious! &? they have the best horchata ???? first time going and definitely will be going back!!
Service was slow and I don't know if our waitress was new or just not a very good one because she wasn't very good at it. The... fries are usually the best thing here but they were very soggy this time. My buddy and i got the same plate and some of thethings were missing from his. Food got to us maybe 45 minutes after we ordered and the place wasn't even packed. There was atable near us that just got up and left because they weren't being listened toowhich i could understand because i ordered a dietpepsi and got a regular I left it on the side of the table so the waitress could pick it up which she never did. After 15minutes i got her attention which she brought me the right one which i finished very quickly so i left it again on the side ofthe table so i could get my refill which she just took the drink and never came back with a refill. I usually never come herebecause i usually order only fajitas which there are way way better options around town than here but most people come here forthe seafood which Gainesville is lacking but hopefully that new one where the Denny's used to be can steal business from thisplace so they can get their stuff together and provide better service and food.
