The patio alone is reason enough to eat at this old-school family-run establishment. With one of the best outdoor eating areas in town, La Playa Azul has been serving authentic Mexican cuisine to its loyal local customers for years. Expect fresh and consistently well prepared food at reasonable prices. Try the Tacos de Camerones (grilled shrimp tacos) or the Pescado in Salsa Verde (halibut in tomatillo sauce) along with any of their delicious signature flower-flavored margaritas, and you'll wish you were a local, too.
