Las Playas


305 Main Street
Farmingdale, NY
516-694-0923

La Playas is the kind of authentic Mexican restaurant that is all too rare on Long Island. Yes you can get Mexican-American fare such as burritos, hard-shell tacos and vegetarian fajitas, but the menu is full of less familiar selections such as mariscada (seafood stew) in green sauce, soft tacos filled with chicken, beef, sausage or, more interestingly, grilled pork (al pastor) and tongue (lengua).

There is also a selection of pupusas, the Salvadoran specialty of thick, hand-made corn tortillas stuffed with chicharron (deep-fried pork rind), beans or cheese.

Traditional Mexican beverages include imported sodas and fruit shakes.

Hours: Monday to Friday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. Sunday, 11 a.m. to 12 midnight
