Playa Taco

Growing up in California it was no unordinary day to eat Mexican food for your 3 square meals a day. Not until you travel the world do you see what happens when the true Mexican flavour has been interpreted to and what it has been diluted to.

After 6 years on the Gold Coast Australian born Marty Allen (surfboard shaper of MAD Surfboards) and wife Trish Allen (born and raised in Carlsbad, California) have finally put an end to suffering through loose interpretations of fresh Mexifornian food.

Although the menu can be interpreted as simple and small, the passion has been placed in the right areas. First you start with the freshest of local produce and make daily your staple salsas. This is the key to all good Mexican food. Quoted by Trish “you can truly judge a good Mexican restaurant by its beans and salsa”. The range of salsa at PlayaTaco is based on the individuals requests ranging from mild to “oh my goodness”, the “salsa Diablo” translated as devil sauce, is self explained. PlayaTacos beans and rice cooked fresh daily along with slow cooked local chicken and beef infused with spices shipped in from Mexico.

The tortilla’s and chips are organic, gluten free, and preservative free keeping the simple beautiful taste of masa (lime infused corn) the truest taste to a street taco you’d find at k38 in Rosarito, Mexico. With the intention to grow the menu it is important to nail the key ingredients, so keeping it clean, simple, fresh and quick we are delivering just that right to you.
