    Found my comfort seafood hub. Yey! (Actually it's not a seafood place, it's a Mexican restaurant: great selection of Mexican menu)
    You wanna know why I said it's a seafood place? That's cause:
    I super love this place especially when I'm craving fish.
    Omg! I love their deep fried tilapia.
    I think for this past week I've been ordering it for lunch when I'm off duty, and dinner straight days. No joke. Sometimes I just request my hubby to order a take out for Me. Hehe.
    So I am really happy that we have Mariscos la Playa here in abq!

    Important note about this place is:
    They have incredible food, with affordable price! They have another area for a sports bar. If you just want to spend time drinking and watching your fave sports.

    It's very accessible. No prob with parking. Can be a party place.

    Cool staff by the way, very friendly.

    I hope the food & service will remain the same.
    See you soon.

    Omg y'all!! This is my favorite new spot on this side of town! I have been wanting to come here for a while and I am so glad I did!

    I ordered the chicken tacos on their lunch special for $8.99. They were delicious! The rest of my family ordered a shrimp quesadilla and the ceviche on the lunch special. The service was excellent and everything was so fresh. Thank you!

    Great lunch menu and great lunch!  This place is NOT your typical Mexican restaurant.  It's better.  Great service and food.  They have an updated menu much better than the last.  I really loved the background music.  Tried the Grilled Fish  tacos off the lunch menu and wasn't disappointed.  Their Interior design is a really happy colorful place with lots of marine carvings and semi private booths.  
      This is MY HAPPY PLACE!!!  ;))

    My cousin and we're looking for some good soft tacos and decided to try this place out. They first served us some chips and dips. The dips weren't too bad but it wasn't the best. We got the campechanna cocktail. It came with shrimp, Mexican scallops, oysters, octopus, clams, green onion, cucumber, tomato, and Mexican cocktail sauce and crackers. It was pretty good, but I wish they add more oysters in it (came with only two oysters). Then we got a chicken soft taco, which was also okay (we weren't able finish it because it lacked some flavor). I don't think I'll be coming back here since it wasn't my favorite.

    Extremely beautiful inside. The decor is unbelievable. The wait staff is extremely friendly and attentive. The food is absolutely delicious. It is rather pricey in the evening, but the lunch menu is extremely reasonable and absolutely delicious
