Casa Playa

We stopped by here for a quick bite at the bar inside. It was mostly empty early afternoon on a Saturday. Beautiful weather, not too loud and a great vibe. Joey, the bartender, was super friendly and attentive. I ordered an espresso martini and it was well made and not overly sweet or strong. For the bites, we ordered the Spanish Mussles and the Antichucos de Lomo (beef Skewers). The mussels were well cooked and came with Italian bread I believe. It doesn't hold together as well as French bread but the mussels had good flavor. I was interested in the Chorizo but with it sitting in the broth, it wasn't my favorite. I think it also could have used a little garlic but otherwise okay. The Beef skewers were good and well cooked. We also ordered a side of chimichurri and it was absolutely delicious with the beef skewers. I would come back to try their sandwiches because it looked pretty good. Joey was great! Would recommend

My wife and I really enjoyed Casa Playa. It’s a great low-key spot with a chill, relaxed vibe—perfect for a casual night out. Not overly crowded, which made it easy to enjoy conversation and soak in the ambiance. The employees were genuinely kind and attentive, adding to the laid-back atmosphere. We had a couple of drinks and just hung out for a while—it felt like a hidden gem compared to other busy places in Fort Lauderdale. Definitely looking forward to coming back soon and bringing friends next time!

I had an incredible dining experience at Casa Playa! From start to finish, the food was outstanding. The Spanish mussels made a perfect appetizer—fresh, flavorful, and served in a savory broth that was practically begging for bread. The fried snapper was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and absolutely packed with flavor. The standout, though, was the Casa Playa skirt steak—perfectly grilled, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. Every bite was a delight. And let’s talk dessert: a warm brownie topped with flan? Yes, it exists—and yes, it was as decadent and delicious as it sounds. Sure, it was on the pricier side, but every penny was worth it. Highly recommend Casa Playa for anyone who loves top-quality food in a great atmosphere.

We were there on a family vocation and arrived starving. Our hotel recommended this place which was walkable. I had their shrimp with rice and black beans and it was delicious. My husband had the roast pork and they were both very flavorful. We liked it so much we came back two more times after that for the best Cuban sandwiches we’ve ever had. Very generous with the pork and they add mayonnaise and mustard which is a must for a real Cuban. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Wish they had a place like this by me. Wished they opened a little earlier but it was worth the wait.

Came here twice on vacation, the staff was great and the food hit the spot every time. The snapper was seasoned very well and the drinks were made really good. Had to end dinner with a nice coffee as well. Would recommend Casa Playa to anyone that’s around the area.

Everyone loved their plates! Very hard to find a well balanced meal while on vacation and that’s all we were craving. I had the shrimp skewers and it came with a side of rice and fried plantains. Empanadas were great too

My experience at Casa Playa was beyond expectation! From the delicious Argentinian skirt steak to the five star service provided by the server/bartender Miguel! Highly recommend this place to anyone hanging around the Fort Lauderdale - Central Beach area!

Skirt steak was perfectly cooked medium rare, black beans were the most delicious we’ve ever had and the spicy watermelon margarita was on point with its jalepeno salt rim! I would come back again if I lived locally!
