We were seated in about 10 minutes, which is unheard of on a night like that. The service was next level; multiple servers worked together seamlessly, making sure every table was taken care of without missing a beat. The kitchen was firing on all cylinders, pushing out food fast despite being completely packed inside and out, and everything came out hot, fresh, and perfect. They even had complimentary snacks to build your own street corn (hands down my favorite) and gave out Cinco de Mayo glasses, which was pretty cool. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place, the food, the service, the atmosphere, all of it. La Placita is the real deal. Locally owned and operated by genuinely great people, and it shows in every part of the experience. If you're looking for how a restaurant should run on its busiest day of the year, this is it.

I went to Taco Mama once with a friend, tried El Cazador because the stand on Hwy 72 looked too cute, and went to Cantina Laredo with the hubby for a lunch date. Don't get me wrong, the tacos weren't terrible, but they weren't something I'd crave necessarily. I read about this taco truck during a google search and thought omg this is too good to be true, but it wasn't! I tried it for the 1st time last week with the hubby and was so thrilled. We both got 4 carne asada tacos for $6. So cheap! (I've found that food is not necessarily cheaper here than in CA even with the high wages in CA just saying...) And man was it good. The meat was so well seasoned and they gave plenty of meat per street taco. The only thing missing is some darn Carne Asada fries! I wish that was a thing here! Oh and orange bang. Where can a girl get some orange bang around here? I need my whipped orange creamsicle drink stat! Or whipped pina colada drink! They do have horchata that is a plus! I'm so glad I found this place. Makes this Cali girl so happy!

It's this one and unfortunately, this one is the ugly stepsister. I've had Chuy's take out from here many times. The family fajitas were our go to during Covid. This was the first (and last) time we've eaten inside. We were first seated in a booth. The whole thing was vibrating. Kind of funny at first but it quickly became annoying. Of course the engineer husband had to investigate. The bar was on the opposite side of the wall and the frozen drink machine was against that wall. It was like sitting next to a washing machine. Since we hadn't been waited on, we went back to the hostess stand to be reseated. Though there were many empty tables, the booth she insisted we sit in was covered in sauces, food and lots of crushed chips. Obviously children had graced this table. (Maybe it's just me but I'd never even dream of leaving our table in that condition.). She grabbed a rag and while she was brushing broken chips under the table, onto the floor, my husband noticed another table being cleaned. Over the hostesses insistence that we wait for her to finish "cleaning", we sat at the freshly cleaned table. We were finally waited on. We were given water and told that they were refilling the chips and they'd be right out. We ordered and looked at each other as we waited for chips and that drool worthy white sauce. We received our drinks, me a grande house margarita, husband a Dos Equis. Our chips finally came shortly before our meal. We shared the green chili chicken enchiladas. They were ok though the chicken was very dry. I wouldn't order these again. My husband and I share meals quite often. This plate really wasn't large enough to share. Maybe if we'd been able to fill up on chips it would have been fine. We were presented our check. I did a brief once over. The marg caught my eye. $14. That wasn't right. I looked at the drink menu. It should have been $11. There was only one item on the entire menu that was $14 and this wasn't it. The engineer once again did a bunch of funny math and still couldn't figure out a way to come up with $14. We asked our server. He said happy hour was over and this was the upcharge. Huh? He said I ordered a flavored margarita. No. And it still wouldn't have been $14. He said he'd go get the manager. While we were waiting, my husband saw the manager a few tables over. He called him over. The manager said he had nothing to do with it, it was the system. (Uhm, yes, you do have something to do with it. You need to ensure your customers aren't being overcharged). He said he corrected our check. Great! For us. What about the rest of the customers? He said he sent an email. What about the rest of the margarita drinkers? Would they even notice they were paying more? I'm betting not. This obviously didn't seem like it was a big deal to the manager. After all, just about everything was wrong with our visit. Where does an overcharge rank in this mess? And speaking of messes. Two women were seated at the formerly messy table. I kid you not, I heard the crunch when they sat down. They both looked under the table to see the mess that the children and the employee made. I guess they didn't have to wait for their chips. Ick.

This is a place you should go if you want high quality ingredients, flavour, and a care about what is being served. While it is pricer than what you would expect from the typical price range for Mexican, it is well worth it. My only very minor gripe is the salsa that is served before the meal. I personally would have liked the salsa a little thicker. However, it is a very superficial gripe as the flavour more than makes up for my personal preference. We got the 3 taco dish and got the rocket city, gone fishing, grilled steak, and chicken between us. It was amazing all around and the beans were so flavourful.... As you can tell we were extremely happy and can't wait to try dinner in the future. Update: Went for dinner and tried some other dishes. Everything was still amazing. I wish this place much success and that the out- of-the-way location doesn't become detrimental to that goal.

Definitely a hidden gem!…read more My husband was out of town last week and so I decided I'd go somewhere I'd wanted to try that was out of the way to treat myself and help pass the time without him. I reviewed my bookmarks and settled on Barrio! This restaurant is located near the ever-popular Valentina's pizza -- I believe it shares a building with the first location of the pizza place before they moved a little up the road. Otherwise, it's sort of "out there" -- though I'd argue it's very much worth a special trip. The parking lot is a little small but it's also a fairly intimate restaurant so you won't be fighting insane crowds anyway. It felt clean and modern inside and the restaurant boasts a nice long bar. I was offered my choice of seat; I took a booth since they weren't super busy (it was a Tuesday evening). My server was Cameron. He was very sweet and worked hard at being attentive and helpful. My food came out promptly with each order and was prepared as I'd requested. No complaints there! The menu here is more authentic and more upscale than many Texmex options in the area. This makes me happy because I prefer Mexican cuisine served this way. I felt a little bad for the servers, though, as they had to field several questions from parties about matters of cheese dip, what mole is, etc. They cheerfully and patiently provided great education, but I hope in writing this I can save them some trouble in the future, lol. You should absolutely give Barrio a try, but Little Rosie's it is not (nor should it be)! Anyway, rant over...Cameron brought out some chips and both salsa rojo and verde. This was maybe the only thing I didn't particularly care for all night. Neither salsa had a ton of flavor or heat to my palate, and the chips were fried a little heavily/dark for me. I was concerned after this but I shouldn't have been because my entree and dessert were both delightful. I ordered the enchiladas suizas, which comes with rice and beans. The rice was fluffy and light. The beans were a beautiful dark black color and subtly smoky, nice and smooth but not too much so. And my enchiladas... Okay, a thing about me is that I always think I'll love enchiladas (who doesn't love a soft and creamy, cheesy, warm meal?) but EVERY TIME I order them they disappoint me. I've FINALLY found a place where they were all I'd hoped they'd be. The chicken inside was tender and succulent but not mushy; the tomatillo sauce was bright and flavorful; the cheese added the perfect amount of gooeyness...really, really good. Thoroughly redeemed, I also placed an order for churros. I requested they be packaged to go as I was sure I wouldn't eat them all in one sitting. Cameron obliged and brought out the dessert in two separate containers (one for churros, one for ice cream). I appreciated his thoughtfulness, though I wound up eating the ice cream and some churros there because I didn't want it to melt. The ice cream was delectable -- honestly, it tasted like homemade vanilla to me but whatever they use, it's awesome -- and the warm, cinnamon-covered and caramelly churros were the perfect companion. I ate three there and took three home for later. So good! This restaurant has many offerings I've rarely seen throughout Huntsville (read: especially chicken mole -- hard to find!). They seem to really care about the food and execute it on a high level. Please give them a try when you get a chance. I'll definitely return in the future.
