We love love love this great hidden gem! The other restaurants in the plaza are busy and nice in their own rights, but LaPlacita Cafe is... Great.

The service is excellent, the food authentic, the parking is generous, and a special benefit: The owners are fun and have a great sense of humor! Even the menu exemplifies the cool humor of the establishment. I'm a giant fan...
