   We live in NYC and often go here to eat before a show at the Beacon Theater. The place has a fun vibe, but the food worsens every time we visit. Last night, we ordered the worst burritos ever. There were no beans, guac, tomatoes, sour cream, or salsa. It was literally lettuce wrapped in a tortilla with a few hunks of meat. Awful. The menu has also recently changed. If you serve Mexican food, make it authentic and delicious. I know food prices are going up but I would rather pay $25 for a delightful burrito than $20 for a crappy one.

   This was my first time at Playa Betty's, and I loved every bite. I had the Dharma Jerk Chicken bowl and it was delicious.

   Quite possibility the worst service I’ve had in an nyc restaurant. 4 people working the hostess stand who acted like it was their first time in a restaurant. Waitress was MIA whole meal. Didn’t receive our drinks until 3/4 of the way into our meal. The deconstructed guacamole is weird and not good

   This is my third time eating here. I was introduced the first time by a friend. The food is great, the staff spectacular! Now when someone wants to meet I meet them here.

    My daughter said that she would like to try this restaurant and we're definitely going back there again. Everything was great
