Let me begin by stating that I rarely give out 5-star reviews. However, this local gem has truly earned every bit of it. I recently visited this place and had an incredible experience. The burritos were bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection, while the quesadillas were equally delightful, with gooey cheese and a satisfying crunch. The guacamole was fresh and flavorful, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the meal. I can’t wait to explore the rest of their menu. The portions are generous, so come prepared to indulge. The friendly and professional staff made the visit even more enjoyable. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I can’t wait to return. If you’re in the area or craving authentic Mexican food, this place is highly recommended. Do not miss the opportunity to try it and

This was a pleasant stop. My top-tier chum and I came by this past Saturday around noon for some much needed sustenance during the Montclair Town-wide Yard Sale (which I honestly thought was terrible - if you don't have kids, you were not finding much beyond moldy pogo sticks and tattered luggage sets. Dark times.). Apparently there was also a sidewalk sale going on in Upper Montclair so it was definitely on the crowded side when we wandered over but we were still able to secure parking about a block away. Deliciously uneventful. Despite the congestion in the surrounding area, Playa Taqueria wasn't too busy - there were a few people seated outside, but otherwise we were able to walk right up to the counter and order. My favorite part of this experience by far was that Playa let you kind o

I couldn't wait to get some good ol tacos from this restaurant. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted. The place was cozy. I ordered the shrimp and sweet potato tacos, the street corn, and the burrito bowl. It took about 7 minutes. When I dug in, the food was delicious. My favorite was the shrimp tacos' hands down. I really enjoyed this place and would return!

This was my first time visiting on Cinco de Mayo. I ordered a bowl with chicken & a Jarrito. My order rung up to $27. I knew something had to be wrong. When I asked the cashier about it, he thought he heard me say two bowls. I specifically said "A" bowl. My bowl was great until I had big chunks of crispy rice that was scraped from the bottom of the container. I'm going to try it once more time and hope that I have a better experience.

When it comes to tacos - there is no fake love The tacos at Playa Taqueria blessed all of my taste buds The Pollo Adobado and Short Rib with the heavenly marinades I'm expressing my love for this place like a serenade They are bringing the people handcrafted, culinary sensations These folks ain't playing around - feed your temptations Mark my words - the Nixtamal Corn is the game changer Make ya head explode - certified brain banger My second trip back - this time I didn't stop for tacos Let's get straight to the 'Guac' - on a scale of 1-10 - I give it 10 avocados The 'Cup O Esquites' - much to my surprise - it came in unique form It was essentially a mind-blowing deconstructed street corn Be warned - there's a lot of incredible deliciousness going on here I don't know what the chef is doi
