Meet Red Feather and Amanda Rios
What is the story behind your business' name?

Playa Baby is beach baby in Spanglish, and the first iteration of this business began many years ago in Mexico with our very own beach baby, Mama Chicha. For Red Feather and myself, the name Playa Baby also signifies our coming together in this business and life while also paying a little tribute to our wedding. We got married on the Playa at Burning Man. Our current street menu is filled with classic dishes Mama Chicha used to make for Red Feather and his siblings while our custom catering menus tend to be a cultural blend of our current lives together.

At Playa Baby, located in the heart of Santa Ana, CA, they're all about delivering coastal Mexican fare with a side of good vibes. As a family-owned and operated food truck, they've got their roots deep in the culinary traditions of both the United States and Mexico, and it all began with their beach baby, Mama Chicha.

Their signature Ensenada-style tacos are a true delight; think fish, shrimp, or mixtos, cooked to crispy perfection and nestled in a corn tortilla. They load 'em up with cabbage curtido and let you choose between their house-made chipotle or habanero salsas for that extra kick. Mama Chicha's Tamales are a must-try, from the savory puerco rojo to their zesty pollo verde, or even a cheese option with serrano chiles for the daring. Their Signature Tortas are legendary, too. Picture toasted baguettes filled with fish, shrimp, or tamales, all bursting with piquancy.

Whether it's a corporate celebration, a birthday bash, or a wedding, Playa Baby is your go-to choice for catering. They'll bring the fiesta to your occasion! So, don't miss the opportunity to book Playa Baby for your next event. Let them make your party a playa-fabulous time.
