We were excited to try this place after our neighbors raved about it. When we arrived there was only 1 party there. We waited for about 5 minutes before we were told to just find a place to sit, then a few more minutes for our server. Small bowl of chips and salsa almost 10 minutes later. For 4 people, we went thru chips fast. Our meal took several more minutes. We had to ask for more chips and salsa. Server never returned to table...only 3 parties including us. Then...
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. They have an intimate setting, and the Mole' Negro is just like the dishes I ate in Puebla, Mexico!!! 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...

There is a noticeable unfriendly vibe from the wait staff, it's simply unmistakable. We never felt warmly welcomed or remotely valued.
Food was good but certainly not great. Aggressive portion control. Decent pricing but it's relative to the small portions.
Our visit became a bizarre disappointing experience. Assuredly won't be returning.
