We were in Playa del Carmen last week and wanted seafood. This restaurant was #18 on Trip Advisor so we went. We hit a windy week so ate in the restaurant instead of on the beach. Location great but the place was not clean, menus were sticky and the "grouper" was questionably even grouper. My brother-in-law and sister are avid... more

This place is to die for! We ate here 3 of 6 nights while in Playa, and never had a bad night. The wait staff took care of us. We even had the same waiter 2 nights and he did remember us. The fish is very good, both whole and filet. Every thing we had was very good. Sit on... more

i have eaten more times in la tarraya and i have also tried more dishes.. still the fish filet with garlic is my favourite. the cheeseburger with fish is also very tasty. the plates are not that big but the fish is really really good and for 50 pesos i guess it's the cheapest fish you can get in playa.... more

Very good seafood for good prices. Local flavor to the setting, right on the beach. My husband's shrimp cooked in garlic was to die for. My son's larger fish serving was cooked perfectly whereas my smaller serving was just slightly overcooked but still quite good. more

Visited La Terraya in June 2009 and the position under the palm trees right on the beach in Playa cannot be faulted. Our fish (no idea what it was) was OK, one in house sauce and one al achiote. A request for French fries meant they came as a starter! We were there about 8pm and by 9pm the staff... more

We ate last night at La Tarraya, my wife had the fish (grouper) with the Tarraya sauce which was very poor. The fish was rubbery and chewy, and she left most of it. Since we arrived later in the evening, we suspect that the fish was cooked earlier and warmed up for us. Location on the beach is good, but... more

The view was great and being on the beach with the breeze was a plus. However, the service was horrible. Our waiter decdied it was more important to be on his cell phone then to wait on us. The food was OK - 2 of us got fish that was overcooked. I got the squid (Calamari) in chipotle sauce -... more

This place is a gem for all those who find it at the end of Calle 2 right on the beach. Depending on where you stay, it could be a long walk but it is worth every step. We stayed at Grand Coco Bay and walked along the beach to get here. It did not dissapoint! I was at the... more
