Playa Betty's is a culinary road trip down the California Coastline. When we say California-style beach food, we mean the whole coast of California, from a Mendocino County food truck, to Los Angeles health food, to the best of Baja! We serve it up wholesome, fast, and with lots of love.
“Playa Betty's is the best birthday place. Melissa (host) and Erin (waitstaff) are warm and wonderful. Thanks for making my day super special.”
“Stopped by Playa Betty last night before a show around the corner at the Beacon and was surprised it took me this long to discover the place. Weather was perfect enough to sit outside as we enjoyed not just our meal, drinks and the awesome sights and sounds of New York City, but also the amazing service and ambiance. Our server was the best and she and the team made sure we were out in time for our show around the corner but not before we tried the buffalo cauli bites (perfect), we each did a taco dinner platter and loved every taco we had, but also had a spicy margarita that was a little too spicy for me. Everyone was having a great time and I hear they do happy hour and play the games. Will definitely have to swing back by for a World Cup match. New neighborhood favorite discovered. See you again soon team!”
“It was really good maybe not completely Mexican but you can’t never go too wrong sticking to corn as a main ingredient. I loved the food I had two tacos, carne asada and Mexican short rib. the sauce was a little overpowering but next time I’ll get it without it. Overall I loved the environment, I got really nice recommendations from my server Emily, I got a little messy with my salsa and chips and she rushed to help me and handed me a wipe to clean myself very quickly. Is nice area as well I recommend to go for a walk right after”
“Mikayla and Al did a fantastic job and made our evening at Playa Betty’s really special. They were kind enough to treat us to a horchata rice pudding, which was super delicious. The fish tacos and shrimp tacos are a must try and tasted incredibly fresh. The chips were warm and perfect and the drinks were delicious. Thank you Mikayla and Al for the great service and a wonderful experience.”
“This is a cute casual place. It kinda is a beach theme, but also has movie posters. It’s a little corny but it’s a nice laid back vibe and the service is excellent. Everyone was so friendly and the food came out fast. Food is expensive for the portion size but it was tasty. The Coca Cola short rib tacos were excellent. On the small side but the meat was super flavorful and sweet from the cola, very tender. The fish tacos were okay, pretty soggy and not very crispy. Def get the cola taco if you come here! Nice to go to before or after a show at the beacon theater. I also like how they give complimentary chips, and the chips were very good, salty but not too salty.”
