Upon entering it was very busy. I sat down to get service, but it did take a while for anyone to notice me. My food arrived within the hour which made me really iffy about the place. I ended up getting lomo soltado which was alright. I would not consider this authentic and I was really hoping it would be so, because on their photos / website, it looks homemade. Not really my kind of environment & parking was a bit difficult. It was OK. I wouldn’t come back though..
(Shoutout to the waitress though, she looked super stressed out.) (If you’re a lightweight, do not order drinks. I’m one and I felt tipsy off a couple sips. Strong drinks. Great if you have nothing to do after work, not great if you have stuff to do after.)

Las Placitas is such a gem! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portions are generous, and the margaritas are some of the best around. The staff is super friendly and welcoming — they really make you feel at home. The atmosphere is warm and colorful, perfect for a relaxed lunch or dinner with friends and family. I’ve tried several dishes and everything has been delicious — especially the fajitas and seafood plates. Definitely one of my favorite local spots!

We love this Latin Tex Mex and Salvadoran restaurant! Super flavorful quality food, great margaritas! Fantastic service ... gracias Jose! Be very careful with your credit card, I had service providers on my card for things in DC when we were not there. Keep your card in your view at all times.

Here's a more engaging version of your review:
I've gotta give this place a five-star rating — I’ve never been disappointed with their food, drinks, or service. I discovered this gem a couple of months ago, and it quickly became my go-to spot. I usually opt for pick-up or delivery since I prefer avoiding crowded places.
One time, when I picked up my order, I could tell the staff was a bit overwhelmed. The person preparing my food seemed a little stressed, and I felt rushed, with my small talk brushed aside. But they genuinely apologized,and thanked me for sticking with them.
Today’s experience was even better. During a Grubhub delivery, the driver canceled, saying the restaurant hadn’t included my selected items. I called the restaurant, and they confirmed everything was there — turns out, the driver canceled because he didn’t want to wait five minutes, despite arriving early. I’d tipped him 15%, but the restaurant owner stepped in. When I went to pick up my order instead, he greeted me with fresh drinks, a shot of tequila for my patience, and, to top it off, told me my food would be on the house due to the inconvenience.
This place truly goes above and beyond! Big thanks to everyone at LaPlacitas — you’ve earned my loyalty.
I was only brought here for the frozen mix drink with a shot added to it. Now I have been back numerous of times just for the drinks. 👌🏾

Good Food and great drinks! I got a strawberry margarita and it was strong they make it very boozy. Food was hot and fresh which I love. Only complaint is they add a $5 gratuity to your bill but still ask for a tip. I tip either way but I thought gratuity was tip? Also its a dollar cheaper if you pay cash instead of card
