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.

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!

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.

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 .
