From pork carnitas slow roasted for 24 hours to sizzling fajitas, fresh salads, sandwiches, and seafood, Playa Grill serves up not-so-traditional Mexican cuisine using recipes from around the world in a trendy and festive atmosphere. “All of our meats are farmed sustainable and free range, and our margaritas are made with a made-from-scratch sweet and sour mix,” says general manager Beth Smith. “And with TVs located throughout the restaurant, our guests can watch the Padres, surf videos, and other sports from every table.” Don’t miss the fun by the big fire pit on the outdoor patio while sipping on specially infused tequilas and sangrias.
