Reviews for La Playa Azul Cafe in Santa Barbara, CA
Firstly, the outside patio at night is the prettiest in downtown Santa Barbara. Burrito was spicy and delicious. The meat and... veggies on the fajitas were hot and fresh - no chewy pieces! Staff was very friendly and attentive. Pitchers of margs were alittle pricy for the size, but they were strong and did the job! Will definitely be back Read more
Great menu, reasonable prices, big portions. The chips and salsa were delicious as well. The many vegetarian options were... appreciated as well as delicious. We got the veggie enchiladas, halibut, and crab enchiladas. For drinks, we got the roastedpineapple margarita. For parking, we parked at one of the Public Parking garage, some are 5 or 10 walking distance. Read more
Absolutely the best Mexican food! I had a chicken taco, a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. So many times a chicken taco is... bland cooked chicken with tasteless cheese. La Playa Azul?s chicken taco is made with delightfully seasoned meat and delicioustasting cheese. The cheese enchilada is covered with a wonderfully tasting red sauce. Even the rice and beans wereextraordinary. The service was friendly and efficient. I would give six stars if I could. Read more
First time here which is actually surprising because I grew up in Goleta. The service was good and the staff was... friendly. Drinks and food came out incredibly quick. Both were really good and definitely hit the spot. The patio out frontwas a great place to sit and we enjoyed the breeze during this summer heat. If you're looking for a place with a great ambienceand good food then this is it. Read more
My second time coming here because the first time was amazing. Food was great and service was great. Today I decided to bring my... husband who is a Mexican food lover, in hopes to make it our new spot. Unfortunately, our experience today was not good. We didget seated immediately, however it took us about 45 minutes to get our orders taken. We had to keep repeating to the servermultiple times what we needed because they kept forgetting. The food wasn't as good either, a little on the underseasoned side.I had ordered a sour cream once we got our food and by the time I finally got it, I had already finished eating. La Playa AzulCafe could do better with their service. Not sure If I'll go back. I'm from Santa Maria and didn't mind the drive to come tothis great restaurant, but now I'll have to think it twice.

Great food. Excellent drinks. Come here 2-3 times a month. Highly recommended.
Amazing place in a great setting. Makes you feel like you?re on holiday. We had chicken fajitas which were super fresh and... sizzling hot. Margaritas were great too. Free nachos and salsa are a great touch too. Read more
