Plata is a great addition to Janss. Mexican food, but with a bit of an elevated presentation. With this elevation often comes pretentiousness, but not at Plata; flavors and the comforting factor are not lost.
Some of the dishes I’ve tried haven’t been my favorite, there are some unique flavor combinations on the menu that don’t always work for me. But they’re always executed well.
The dining area is clean, modern, and comfortable, and the service is quick and friendly. Definitely a good option if you’re in the area.

As native Californian my spirits don’t lie—Plata in Thousand Oaks is enchanted.
The brunch is authentic, bold, and ancestor-approved. One bite and the veil was thin. The drinks? POTENT. Not brunch cute—ritual strength. Sip wisely.
Good vibes, warm service, powerful flavors. I didn’t eat here… I completed a spell. ✨
Return visit already foretold.

Date night out and I really didn’t want to go out to eat because it seems like the food and service at restaurants have gone downhill lately. Cooking at home has been predictable for sure but with some thought I agreed to go out if it was for Mexican food. So we decided on going to Plata. We went years ago when they first opened and loved it so we decided to give it a another go!
We went early (5:00pm) to take advantage of their happy hour and to watch Monday Night Football. We ordered the happy hour beer & margarita (it was huge and strong) and 3 tacos (carne asada, carnitas & al pastor) to begin with.
The tacos were $4/each and they were filled with lots of tasty, lean, tender good quality meat. They all were absolutely delicious! We ate that with freshly made and wonderfully seasoned chips with amazing salsa (AND they always replenished it without us even asking!)
We did decide to order entrees also (no judging on our eating! The tacos were so delicious we HAD to try other things!) My husband ordered the Tablita and I ordered the Enchiladas De Res. My husband’s steak was so tender and again, seasoned perfectly! My enchiladas were filled with braised short ribs which was so TENDER and had a wonderful sauce on the enchiladas. It was also served with a cheesy cauliflower dish which was incredible and also rice. Let me tell you, the cauliflower was worth the trip by itself! WOW! Just WOW! BUT everything we got really was worth the trip. So much food we were even able to bring some home for lunch the next day.
The service was over-the-top EXCELLENT! Everyone was so friendly and anticipated our every need. They went out of their way to truly make our dining experience one that was memorable. Good job Ivan & team!!! We appreciate you all.
It is going to be hard to keep me away from visiting here again. If you are craving Mexican food, this is the place to go!

This place is a gem! We love having them near our home. In our most recent visit, Katie was our server and she was truly AMAZING! Kind, fast and even made a drink recommendation that is my new favorite. The food is spectacular and so are the drinks.

Plata Cocina was an absolute delight! The modern and inviting atmosphere, coupled with the exceptional service provided by Ashlee, created a truly memorable dining experience. The food was simply divine, offering a perfect blend of flavors and textures.
We began our meal with a classic Guacamole and chips. The salsa was delicious, but we requested a spicier option. They promptly brought out their spicy habanero salsa, which is highly recommended for those who enjoy a bit of heat.
Among our favorite dishes, the Tablita stood out. The angus grilled steak was incredibly tender and flavorful, accompanied by tasty rice and beans.
We also indulged in their tacos, choosing three different ones, but the Alambre was my absolute favorite. Highly recommended by our server Ashlee, this taco was a must-try. It was not spicy, but incredibly delicious! I wish I had ordered three of them instead.
Overall, we had a fantastic time at Plata Cocina and can’t wait to return for more of their delectable cuisine.

Aside from being greeted by the hostess’s belly button (super weird outfit choice for this type of place – my husband and I were both confused at how the outfit didn’t match what we thought the vibe should be lol), we had a great time. The food was extremely delicious and we’d love to go back next time we’re in town.

Love this place! They have a great happy hour but the food is also very fresh and delicious. We shared the shrimp ceviche which was delicious and I also got the Al pastor taco- incredible! Not pictured was also the shredded pork taco I got which was also delicious. I haven’t had anything here I wouldn’t recommend.

For a Monday it was seemed like a steady night for them. Went to see my sisters and their husband’s and my niece since one sister was visiting from our of state. My other sister recommended we meet there. First off it was Monday so keep that in mind. We got seated instantly for 7 ppl, awesome. Menu was elegant good options and not too many options that you can’t decide and end up playing it safe. I had whiskey and bottom bowl with shrimp as my protein. We did 3 appetizers the nacho libre the guacamole dip and the enpenadozos I might have misspelled that anyways amazing food staff totally got everything just right and they even let me adjust their vodka mule to a whiskey one it was yummy. We kept asking for to go boxes care we under requested them and no joke two employees came to give us more the seem really trans oriented which I can appreciate having been in a management position for now then a decade in the food industry. Loves it there great atmosphere small but not too tiny I’d say good in and outdoor seating they have bar seating. It’s worth the few $$$ my group paid that night… Which was two days ago lol they even had coloring and crayons for my little niece she loved it

First time visit and man can I tell you it was phenomenal! Me and my friend got so lucky to be sat in Nelly’s section. She had great recommendations for us when we asked about what she thought was the best cocktails and beverages. Was patient as we took our time chatting and completely forgetting about placing an order. Service was so prompt – like you’d think she snapped her fingers and the food was ready. Truly remarkable service. The food – you could taste the freshness! Legit so sold on why so many people have loved coming here that I regret not coming here sooner. Thank you Nelly for this amazing service, hospitality, and recommendations. Can’t wait to come back!
