I went to La Placita restaurant tonight for authentic Mexican, and I really enjoyed the food and my experience there. The lady behind the counter, Rosalina, was so friendly and helpful. I ordered a bowl of their chicken soup, which was huge, and 4 caritas tacos special. The chicken soup was excellent… so flavorful and delicious. The chicken was “fall off the bone” tender, the potato and zucchini was melted in your mouth, and all the herbs, like cilantro and spices, perfectly balanced, made the soup super homey. It was like a Mexican grandmother made it for their grandchild, with much quality ingredients and love. It was so good. The carnitas tacos were wonderful, too! The meat was plenty in the taco, but not too much, so they still stayed in the taco. It was tender and juicy, with this lovely salsa, fresh diced onions, and cilantro. It was perfectly balanced, and no flavors overpowered the other. The restaurant is a take out place, small with some seating and totally worth going to if you want excellent quality home cooked food, an affordable great deal, and friendly service!

I love the borrito mohaddo! I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between warm and modern, creating a welcoming space that feels both relaxed and refined. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely eager to ensure every guest felt taken care of.
The food was the true highlight. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, with fresh ingredients and bold, well-balanced flavors. From the appetizers to the main course and dessert, every bite reflected consistency and attention to detail. Portions were generous without being overwhelming, and the menu offered a great variety to suit different tastes.
What truly sets this place apart is its commitment to quality and hospitality. Even during busy hours, service remained efficient and friendly. Pricing felt fair considering the quality of the food and overall experience.
Whether you’re planning a casual dinner, a family celebration, or a date night, this restaurant delivers on all fronts. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

The most bomb tacos ever. I had the chicken, chorizo, and fried shrimp tacos with potato in it.

The restaurant was closed BUT the lady had a stand out front selling carnitas. Very good, homemade tortillas and great customer service. Don’t mind the area, just enjoy good food.

Found this little cute place after reading the review. My family and I just finished our lunch at a nearby ramen place but decided to grab something small to try. (Meaning we weren’t fully satisfied with the ramen portions! ) The owner only knows minimum English but she was super friendly. We ordered 2 of the combo of 3 carne asada tacos with a soda for only $4.99! Where can you find this great deal nowadays?! The food was delicious and even though we just had lunch, we couldn’t wait to try it. The meat was nicely cooked and juicy and I loved the pickled vegetables!! The service was fast, but we went there around 2pm on Sat and not sure about how it goes during lunch time. Will definitely visit again with an empty stomach and try different food there.

All I can say is WOW! We’ve lived less than a mile away for over 7 months and are just finding this gem now… we tried nearly every meat that you can get on tacos and all of them were amazing!! These are tied for my favorite tacos now and they are probably the most reasonably priced tacos around!! Come try this place out – you won’t be disappointed!

First time at this hidden gem. When I first walked in I was welcomed by Rosalina. Very friendly helpful and accommodating service. I ordered the steak plate with a side of eggs. Steak was delicious not salty nor rubbery just perfect. The rice and beans were homemade, reminded me of my grandma’s at the ranch in Los Guajes, Jalisco. The salsa was spicy , I love the heat. This dive is a must try and I will definitely return to some home cooking. I overheard weekends she sets up outside her small diner with homemade tortillas and carnitas. Sometimes if were lucky she makes menudo and or posole. I have to come back to try .

Ernie, his wife and daughter have created an awesome atmosphere to enjoy good food and fellowship. Try the 4 carne asada tacos and drink for 4.99, you cannot beat it. Chips and salsa cooked to order, fresh. My friend, Frank gets the hamburger plate, he loves it. Invest in this local mom & pop gem.

These are the best tacos I’ve ever had, out of the thousands of different tacos I’ve had throughout my life. For me it is the texture of the tortilla and the flavor of the salsa and the carne asada, I ate 12 of them once
