Based on the reviews, Las Placitas Restaurant is a Latin Tex Mex and Salvadoran restaurant known for its homemade, fresh, and consistent food. The chicken fajitas, ceviche, seafood plates, and margaritas are highly praised. The atmosphere is described as warm and colorful, perfect for a relaxed lunch or dinner with friends and family. However, experiences vary greatly. The inside service has been slow with lots of mistakes, while the outside patio staff is much better. The restaurant has become increasingly drinks-centric, offering take out cocktails known to be exceptionally strong. This leads to crowds waiting for drinks, including people smoking marijuana or regular cigarettes despite no smoking signs, creating an unpleasantly loud, drunk people atmosphere. The staff serves free tequila shots to keep people happy or fix service mistakes. On quieter nights, the staff is very kind and the food is good, making it a nice local, non-corporate option, but always no frills. Guests should be very careful with credit cards and keep them in view at all times. Friday through Sunday dinner gets very busy with long lines, so going during the week is recommended to relax and fully enjoy the restaurant.
