Playa Mesa Menu Prices

by

Casual, breezy stop for homestyle Mexican food & drinks, plus weekend brunch & happy hours.

Open for outdoor dining, takeout and delivery. Walk-ins welcome, reservations recommended.

Inspired by the flavors synonymous with coastal Baja and mainland Mexico, Playa Mesa brings a refreshing approach to authentic Mexican food and drink. The menu draws from Mexico, including Ensenada, Jalisco, Michoacán, and Oaxaca, using the same type of farm-fresh ingredients and cooking methods passed down for generations. Just like the handmade tortillas, which arrive at your table hot off the comal.

Playa Mesa is a vibrant and inviting retreat with a tranquil south of the border ambiance. We proudly serve lunch and dinner daily, Taco Tuesday, weekend brunch and weekday happy hour.
