Fresh, Homemade, and Proud of It

Baja Fish Tacos, salsa bar, and breakfast burritos - the South Bay can't stop talking about it! 

The Baja Fish Tacos

Perfectly battered and deep fried topped with pineapple slaw, fresh avocado and pico with a slice of lime, guests call them a local perfection. Come try one and see if they're wrong (they're not).

The Salsa Bar

Seven house-made salsas, from Mild all the way up to El Diablo. Our signature Salma Hayek salsa is sweet and spicy.  Build every bite exactly how you like it; nobody's stopping you.

Casa Playa is authentic Mexican food in the heart of Riviera Village. Family-owned and operated, it’s a low-key beachside spot that’s great for family and friends. With friendly service, bottled beer, margaritas, and food that is homemade, Casa Playa is the kind of place where you can relax, eat well, and feel right at home.

What our guests are saying

★★★★★

Casa Playa is my favorite local spot for Mexican food! I live in town and I come here all the time for their chilaquiles breakfast plate. The green and red sauce are both so good, I can never choose. Food is fresh and flavorful. Service is top notch. Bonus points for a generous self-serve salsa bar

I ordered a chicken tostada and it was delicious. My Husband ordered 2 beef tacos with rice and beans and he was given a good portion. He said it was good. They have a covered salsa bar which makes it hygienic instead of the open ones. The staff is so nice & friendly. They also have a restroom.

This Mexican spot is located on the west side of Catalina at the corner of S Elena in Riviera Village. The decor is very authentic for a taco shop you might find in Mexico and it feels inviting and relaxed. We had grilled and crispy fish tacos which were both delicious. The loaded Carnitas burrito.

Casa Playa was already one of our favorite places when we decided to use them to cater our daughter’s third birthday party. The food was delicious and the service was superb. Among many things, we got a tray of the crunchy chicken tacos based on the restaurant’s recommendation, and they were the hit!
