There are a few of these LaPlayas and the one I prefer is on SPID just northwest of Rodd Field Road. The menu attached to this restaurant on TripAdvisor, however, does not match prices with what I paid two weeks ago. I'm guessing they have the wrong restaurant website linked. Anyway, the LaPlaya I like has prices a dollar or... More

I do not have anything particularly awful to say about this restaurant. It is typical, average Mexican food. Nothing special to brag about. It is not the worst in town, so do not be afraid to go, but don't expect the best in town either. The service is always friendly though, so that will not be a disappointment. More

I'm from corpus and this is one of the best Mexican restaurants in town. I've been here probably 20 times. After a bad experience with management, I've vowed to never go back. We waited 15 minutes to order and another 30 to receive our food starting at 5 pm on a weekday. The restaurant had probably 7 customers. We were... More

They have fantastic food, great service, very friendly staff, super clean and easy on your wallet. I love the food More

Finally, Mexican food that has taste and isn't a plate of bland mush! Food arrived within minutes of ordering. Plan on leftovers, as portions are plentiful. Only downside is that it tends to get noisey with the music playing and kids having fun at the other tables. More

My fried avocado stuffed with beef was delicious and the rest of my party enjoyed their various chicken and enchilada dishes. Not too pricey and conveniently located on South Padre Island Drive. More

Recommend it highly, we definately will return. Other islanders must have same opinion, dining room was comfortably full without being overcrowded. Also has a drive through that was busy... More

This is your average Mexican restaurant in appearance with somewhat above average food. We were there on a busy Sunday just after noon and our party of 7 was accommodated quickly, although the roof or air conditioner did leak a bit on two of us. Service was good and friendly; the server wasn't sure if we wanted separate checks but... More

The Mexican food here at the original La Palya is the best. . .but not with dust. We are neighbors and eat here many times. But, the management has the staff incessently stirrring up the dust by sweeping the clean floor right at your table. And, right after one has finished, shortly there will be another with the broom sweeeping... More
