La Playa Mexican

After an eleven hour drive from home (Oklahoma to Nashville we were tired and hungry. We checked into the Hayes Street Hotel next door to the Las Palmas Mexican Restaurant and then went to seek some familiar chow. The place was bustling to say the least. It was 4 May and folks were getting ready for Cinco de Mayo! The area nearest the street was packed with the younger set and far too loud for us older folk. We were gladly resettled in an interior section where it was quieter. They were packed. The chips and salsa were really good. Better than I expected being so far from a more Mexican populated area of the US. I had the enchiladas and my wife had the taco salad with grilled chicken. There was enough food on our plates to feed a family of six. It was very well prepared. Very tasty and well worth the visit. Topped off the dinner with Churros (sp? with ice cream. Great choice for dessert. If you are in the area we say you need to stop in and dine. From what we saw it is apparent many of the locals dine here as well. That is normally a good indication you are getting good food at a great price.

I have been working in downtown Nashville for 3 years and have never heard of La Playa before. I ordered the bigger shrimp burrito with everything in it and it was quite delicious! The shrimps were fresh and the peppers and onions were really good as well! My coworkers and I ate in the upstairs part of the restaurant and it was a good experience. The waitress that served us was respectful and very accommodating. I recommend trying this place out!

The waitress was very rude. I went in close to closing for lunch, but an hour left and it seems like she was rushing and didn’t want to work. She snatched the menus up after asking are you gona order or what. Didn’t want to order after that, she might have done something to my food. Non Professional, disgruntled employee. Never will visit again.

This place is amazing! Stopped by for a quick lunch and it was delicious, promptly served and very nice staff. I will definitely return here amytime I want Mexican food

As a native Nashvillian, I have been coming here for a few years. I didn't come to this restaurant often because of the business hours, but if I'm downtown when they're open it's my go-to restaurant! The food is always yummy, and the staff are very friendly.
