   Food was tasty but it came out wayyyy too fast. We were in and out in less than an hour. Definitely felt like they wanted to turn over the table quickly and it was not a busy night as we were there on the Friday after Thanksgiving around 7pm. Also, portions a little skimpy for the price. This would be a good place to go if you were in a rush and were hitting a movie or a show at the Beacon.

   As other diners have indicated, the food came out of the kitchen very quickly, and most of the food was very tasty and well prepared. My only issues were with an order of chips and salsa that I needed to ask about several times before they eventually came out once everyone had already finished their dinners. In addition, the rice bowl off the kids menu that I ordered for my five year old daughter was served with spicy blackened chicken and a hot sauce mixed in with it, that made it way too spicy for her palate. The server seemed sympathetic about my complaint, and offered a free extra scoop of ice cream, which I thought was a nice gesture.

   Fun place with great service, good food and lively atmosphere. A little too noisy but all good. Shout out to the female bartender for being so friendly and making a great cocktail.

   Literally no space between tables, was right on top of people next to us. Chaotic inside - very crammed. Good if you're looking for a quick bite - the food comes out in minutes, this is not a good date night place. Went here because close to Beacon theater. Food was good - drinks were too expensive for small sizes.

   It was perfect for a pre Jerry Seinfeld at the Beacon dinner and drinks. We were in the perfect mood for the show.

   We had tickets to a show at the Beacon Theater and worried that we wouldn't have time to have dinner before hand. The speed at which we were served was amazing! We had more than enough time! The food was great and the margaritas were perfect!

    The restaurant was unprepared for the number of reservations they had. We were sat at a random tables forced into a corner. It was incredibly difficult to move in between tables. The waitress was so overwhelmed that she told us it would probably be faster if we order through the QR code instead of waiting for her to be able to serve us.

    Always good food. We prefer to eat outdoors in the “shed” as volume level inside the restaurant itself make conversation nearly impossible. Service good until dessert, which was probably forgotten. We actually paid the bill before we received it. But overall a good experience.

    We had a great experience at Playa Betty. Our server, Alfonso, was friendly and attentive. The food and drinks were spot-on. We were surprised to catch the end of happy hour. Alfonso got our drink orders to take advantage of this offering. Cool decor and fun ambiance. Was a great spot prior to our heading to the Beacon for a concert. Only suggestion to Playa Betty is to ditch the cheesy music (1980’s techno dance).

    I asked for the beef in my dish to be rare or medium rare. It came out overdone. My companion's beef did not look appetizing. Some outdoor locations are noisy with conversations. I forgot how noisy dining in a patio in Amerstam Avenue could be, but I never anticipated the nerve-wracking sounds of trucks seeming to brush against the street-side of the covered space. A plus for the restaurant is the joyful spirit of the assembled guests.

    Super fast service, good food, even better drinks. The hostess was rude when we asked for a different table - I have a physical disability and the one she wanted to seat us at was not accessible to me. Other than that, it was a great time! The server was really kind and friendly and checked on us multiple times to see if we needed anything. Very cute & fun place! Especially if you’re attending an event at the Beacon Theatre nearby, it’s a great option.

    What a great little joint on the upper west side!! Very laid back environment with some serious beach eats! Pitchers of Margarita's were delicious and the complementary chips and guac were just outstanding! I got the taco meal with a seared tuna, mushroom and Baja fish taco with brown rice and black beans. Every bite absolutely great - maybe a little pricey on the drinks but the food I thought was outstanding and not too expensive. I would go back any time for a solid taco or enchilada. My wife's quesadilla was outstanding as well. Highly recommended

    The place was packed, much of it for a concert next door at the Beacon Theater. Don’t go there looking for a quiet meal! We ate in the sidewalk shed outside, which helped… a little. But the food & drinks were delicious, the service first-rate, and the prices fair if not a bargain.

    great food, great service, we'll definitely return and we recommend Playa Betty. Great music too (Rock n Roll!), but overall very noisy place: a bit too much. Really could use some sound mitigation on walls, and ceilings. Still, a fun vibe, great food, great cheerful/helpful staff. We really enjoyed it!
