Playa Mill Valley

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.

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

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.

We went for happy hour at the bar. The street tacos were delicious as were the cocktails. Didn't try the soup of the day but it sounds great!

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.

The surf and turf burrito is well worth the hype here. All of the cocktails are delicious, you really can’t go wrong. Playa has a great atmosphere inside and a back patio. Good clean classic Hispanic favorites like the carnitas plate, all kinds of tacos, and various plates. My only feedback…$19 for chips and guac…cmon guys. We are definitely regulars here. If you can catch taco Tuesdays, try to get there early!

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.

Didn't have any food, drank my dinner! So 5 stars are for the drinks.
Busy, busy, busy Mill Valley spot, great for date nights and indoor-outdoor drinks/dining.
Fun place, but could be a budget buster if you try to go a lot.

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.

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.

Food is delicious and well priced. Beautiful outdoor dining. Went here hungry and left happy.

I was actually quite impressed with the food. The salsas were all very flavorful, the guacamole well seasoned. I had the octopus salad and was very impressed with the flavors and the texture of the octopus was perfect. It is a bit spicy so be prepared. My lunch mates had mahi mahi tacos and the carne asada tacos and were equally impressed.

Service was attentive but not overbearing. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

We had such a wonderful time celebrating my friend’s baby shower in the back outdoor area! We had a communal table for 8, ordered a few rounds of prickly pear margs and guac, moved on to our entrees and they sliced and served our Susie’s Cakes. We didn’t feel rushed at all and the service was amazing.

The highlight was upon getting there, the manager (Manfred I believe) saw us unloading the car and helped us carry everything in, got our initial drink orders started even though he wasn’t our server, checked in on us several times and even helped us out with a few pictures. Big thanks to Gustavo and Manfred for such a wonderful, hospitable experience.

The surf and turf burrito was amazing. It was so juicy that the moment I cut in the half the juices just started spilling out. Truly amazing and highly recommend if you're in the mood for burrito.

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 quality has dramatically improved from the last time I were here. Clean, curated, essential— as opposed to what it was … a bit sloppy and predictably average.

Lovely cocktails. Good Mezcal collection 👌🏼

This plays kills it!!! The drinks are borderline art. The food is top notch fancy Mexican /Spinish style. They also carry my new favorite tequila. Oh they also have a lovely outdoor patio with fire pits... Marin needed a place like this for so long! Hallelujah!

Mexican food gluten free .. amazing dishes and awesome bar .. a lot of tequila selection.. 😍

Fantastic Birra tacos and chips Louis A was the best waiter his attentiveness and recommendations for entrees was spot on! Recommend to anyone!
