Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Playa Betty's offers a lively and fun atmosphere with "great food" and "drinks delicious." It's a perfect spot for pre- or post-show dining near the Beacon Theatre. While the service can be slow during peak times, the "friendly and accommodating" staff make up for it. The energetic vibe and "reasonable prices" keep patrons coming back for more.

The fish tacos were amazing. I will come back just to get those. I also like the guac and chips offering they had with the optional toppings
