It brought back so many memories being in an Old Taco Bell when you could get a a taco or burrito for $.25 so long ago. And the enchilada sauce was absolutely amazing just like they used to put on the Encherito at Taco Bell, which is no more. The food was absolutely amazing and the service as well. A good big shout out to Edoardo who is the sweetest cook and server ever. My new go to.

Tried this place on the recommendation of a coworker. He recommend the burrito menu and OMG. First is was massive, like three meals massive for me. it was delicious and was almost as good warming it up the third time. please try their burrito it was worth it.

Love this Mexican restaurant! I had a breakfast plate with chorizo that hit the spot. Their salsa is amazing & service was quick. I would love to go back and try other items on the menu.

I stopped in here yesterday after a co-worker recommended the place. He suggested getting the chile relleno. It's been years since I've had a chili relleno. The place was small. Kind of run down looking. The outside and inside was blue. Hence the name, "Playa Azul." There was no line so I was able to order immediately. Their menu was posted on the wall up front. I didn't really look at the menu though. I already knew what I wanted, the chile relleno combination. I got the food to go. When I got home I tried the rice and beans first. Man it was good. Then I ate the chili relleno. The flavors and textures of the food were great. I savored each bite and at the same time pretty much inhaled it. There's something to be said about those, "hole in the wall" restaurants. This place had great tasting food. The next time I come back, I'll try a burrito. If it's anything like their chili relleno, it's got to be good.

Just thought I'd update some developments here at Playa Azul: I don't know when it started but recently, they started charging a service fee for credit card or basically any non-cash transaction. The fee is 4%, which I think I kinda high, but maybe that's what they have to pay to the card companies. Credit card fees used to be just rolled into the cost of doing business, but seems the trend is coming to start charging for credit card use. I usually pay cash, but had to use a card this time and was surprised by the fee. That 4% kinda adds up on a larger order, so lesson is BRING CASH. The food is still good as ever. Big stuffed burritos for around $9.00 ... $10 if you don't have cash.

This is a great little no-frills Mexican restaurant. Affordable and friendly, Playa Azul makes for a great fast lunch. I got the California burrito and left pretty satisfied. Coming from a Mexican household, I have pretty high standards for a Mexican restaurant- the meat (carne asada, in my case) needs to be flavorful and with minimal gristle; the beans need to be toothsome and creamy, but not gritty; and the rice needs to be well-seasoned. I thought my burrito hit two out of three. The beans and meat were good, but my rice tasted unseasoned. The fries inside of the burrito also needed a little more salt. Minor complaints though, and overall I enjoyed the burrito. I appreciated the fact that they offered sliced avocado- I personally prefer that in a burrito instead of guacamole, and it's hard to find at most fast-casual restaurants. Avocado was also only $0.75, which is pretty much unheard of. I also liked the orange sauce (habanero?) at the salsa bar. Overall I thought this was a solid lunch. I paid $22 for the California burrito plus avocado, chile relleno burrito, a can of Coke, and a glass of Pepsi (fountain drink). I plan on eating here again next time I'm in Carson City.
