“Plaza Tapatia is a Mexican restaurant that offers a varied menu, including classic dishes like beef hard tacos, chicken enchiladas, and refried beans, which are reported to be good.

Customers suggest there are better Mexican options in the area, and even the chips are charged extra, which is unusual. On the positive side, the carne asada (steak) and camarones a la Diablo (shrimp) are praised for their great flavor and preparation. The flan and cheesecake desserts are also well-received, with the cheesecake suspected to be homemade.
