Last weekend we had a pleasant surprise of having brunch at playa. The food was amazing I had a carnitas torta that was perfectly made and my wife had the Al pastor tacos everything tasted amazing. They also have the full bar open in the morning for those that are hung over or looking for a good drink. For dessert we had the churros and they were out of this world.

They are very busy through the weekend, so make sure to do reservations. The drinks are good, food is great and well presented. Great to go with a group of friends, or family. Price on the average for the area.

Used to be one of my favorite spots for high end Mexican. Went there recently for father's day and food wasn't as delicious as it used to be and order wasn't correct. Disappointed for the high price...

Went in towards the end of the night to have dessert and a drink. Bartenders were super nice and the perfect mix in their drinks. Had a watermelon fog and Pina colada. Dessert was on point. Had churros with a hint of pepper 🌶 wow another level and ice cream to bring the creaminess to the crunch. The smell of the kitchen made me want to order food but I had dinner else where. For sure coming back to try the food.

Great restaurant. Only recently heard about it and tried it. I have nothing bad to say about the place - food was great. We didn’t have a single dish that I’d say was a miss. Service was what you’d expect for a nice restaurant. Atmosphere was also great. We sat at an out door patio that was mostly covered, but allowed for dogs. Indoor section was also bright and airy, with a nice modern aesthetic. The drink menu was also really great, with a strong selection of cocktails. This might just be my favorite restaurant right now in Mill Valley. Though, I’m fairness, I haven’t been to that many restaurants there. I’d definitely return.

It is a fun restaurant! The food presentation was fantastic, but you can get better tasting Mexican food for a fraction of the price in other places. I think people come to this restaurant for fun drinks, not food

Mario is the server you want when you come here! He wasn’t even our server but he really saved the meal for us. One of the tacos we ordered came a bit too dry and we couldn’t find our server (he was very MIA) so ended up asking Mario for a sauce. He knew exactly what was needed and brought us the best sauce we have ever tasted. We will be back for more! He also checked up on us later to see if we liked it even though we weren’t in his section. Atmosphere takes a hit because the restaurant was very loud and echo-y. But the decor was great and the people were friendly!

The small plates we got were great but the dining experience here would have been even better if they had not run out of vegetarian food. The guac was alright and the queso (without chorizo) was fresh, straight out of the oven, but also contained a lot of oil. The house made chips, however, were the highlight. Not too oily, salted just right, and slightly thick, made the post-hike start to a meal pretty good.

This place is classy. Not just are their interiors and decor classy. But their food and drinks are also CLASSY. Great and fresh food. :) We took Brussels sprouts, nachos and vegetarian tacos. The gauc and sauces they give with the chips were fresh. So were the chips. I was super impressed with their vegetarian tacos as they were unusually good compared to other places. Their outdoor seating is especially such a charm on a bright summer day. I wish I could spend my whole afternoon here with more food and drinks. But, it's definitely a great place to come with your friends.

This restaurant was so much fun to visit in Mill Valley ca. My family took me there to celebrate my birthday. I definitely had a blast. To started the drinks were just perfect. The staff was fun and super nice. The music was perfect for my taste and the occasion. The food is amazingly delicious. Fresh cooked and quick served. The environment had great vibes. Super popular! The service was very quick, even how popular it is. The place is beautiful, spacious, and super clean. Perfect for a get-together, birthday party, or special event. Inside and out door seating. Outdoors is also a beautiful setting. They have a nice bar. The restroom is very clean Parking is really easy to find $$$

Great place to stop in for a late lunch or early dinner on the way home to SF from wine country or Harbin Hot Springs - just make a reservation on your phone from the car. Guac came with hot chips made fresh to order, ceviche was excellent, as were the fish tacos.

Mexican flavor dishes from Jalisco, MX! Stopped in for a drink @ the bar. Had chips (little to greasy) and salsa & guacamole the flavor of the salsa was so good we decided to order some food. Tacos were delicious homemade tortilla and the meat had great flavor! The service was a little off bartenders seem to be new. Definitely recommend.

Very hip place and nice vibe. Great homemade tortilla chips and salsa. Guacamole was good but small portions and missing ingredients. (About $14 for a ladle of it) I had the tacos Al pastor (You can't mix or match the tacos) they were decent. Good flavor but a little over cooked. The mole was good, a little too sweet and nothing like the real thing. A lot of the same flavor inside in the chicken and outside. Margaritas are delicious and have puree in them instead of syrups like other spots. Over all it was a decent meal.

Good NY Steak, loved the chimichurri. Tasty guacamole (just wish the chips had come with the order), get the good cilantro rice to go with the steak. The churros could've been improved- nothing innovative too. it was served with the rest of the dishes so it was also cold by the time we finished our meal. Service was really good and wait staff was more than helpful.

Fun experience with friends. Food and drink were neither amazing nor terrible. Prices seemed about 20% than they should have been for average product. Ceviche perhaps was made with fresh fish earlier in day, but had been pre-made so solidly overcooked by end of service. Shrimp burrito was solid. Ambiance was comfortable. One of the only games in town for Mill Valley's dining scene, so you'll end up here one way or another.
