Casa Playa
AMBIENCE: Decorated with marigolds on the ceiling, ambient lighting, giving it an intimate feel. Lively music, and even the staff's clothing matches with the overall theme.
FOOD: The chicken mole was great, the chicken came out tender and juicy. One friend ordered the green rice and shrimp, no complaints there. For dessert, I had the Casa Playa Marigold and my only complaint was the mousse, it wasn't bad but I didn't enjoy the flavor, however when you get to the caramel sauce and marzipan underneath, it's not a bad combo. The La Flama Blanca was a fun little show as they set it on fire and you watch the chocolate orb melt to reveal the dessert. You could definitely taste the rum in that one. The drinks we ordered were great, no complaints on that end. The chips and gauc was our groups' favorite, paired with the 3 other salsas we loved it; refill of chips was very appreciated.
OVERALL: The service was lovely, we were taken care of very well by our server and the rest of the staff there. My friends and I had a great time. Our server mentioned that most plates are meant to be shared, so keep that in mind.
