Everything was tasty. As a california native that transplanted to Pennsylvania, I miss home a lot, Plaza always eases that pain. Our family always loves coming here. The people are nice, the restaurant is clean, and the food is phenomenal.

The Vegan tacos were the best dish we have ever had at any Mexican Restaurant we ever been to. Even the black beans and rice were very flavorful. The sauce that came with was amazing! Great for vegetarian and vegan options.
