Great food, great price, and right by the soccer fields so convenient after leaving a game. I ordered with a group of 4 and amongst us we had a tostada, caldo soup, beef quesadillas, chicken enchiladas, cheese enchiladas, 2 cokes, and 2 michelada's. Everything was superb and came out to around $70, which honestly isn't bad for 4 people with alcohol. Service was wonderful. They were attentive, quickly refilled our drinks/chips, and had our food out to us in less than 15 minutes. Would definitely come back again! read more

Excellent service and I cannot say enough about the food. The drinks are well made and worth the money. The plates that we order were the ones for 2 people. There are 2 choices so we got one of each, from the beef too the shrimp everything was perfect. read more

It's the weekend, so time to try new tacos. Headed sorry again to La Placita. I was going to do two different tacos, but they do three breakfast tacos for $4.50, if they are all the same, so chorizo she egg on flour again for me! Fillings was good. Eggs weren't as fluffy as I'd ideally like, but not bad at all. Flour tortillas are a bit too thick, but Austin, not bad. Warmed up, but probably could be crisped up just a slight bit more. Seems like a solid place. Will try again. Three to four stars. read more

I don't know about the food yet, but this place just left a bad taste in my mouth with the way they do business. Ordered a Gordita plate which costs 14.99. They charged me $18.00, which was weird and asked why the tax was so high. Was then told that they charge extra $1 for beef and the tax came out to $18, which was incorrect. I showed them that it should only come out to $17.31 and then was told that they charge extra for credit cards. There was no sign anywhere that says that. Asked to speak to manager/owner and was told they are not available I wouldn't mind paying the extra but I do not like being taken advantage of. Did not tell me beforehand and only tried to explain away the extra charges after I questioned the amount charged. Will never go back. read more

Once upon a taco-less morning, I sauntered into this joint, tantalized by the promise of breakfast tacos that could sweep me off my feet. Visions of crispy bacon, fluffy eggs, and gooey cheese danced in my head as I eagerly placed my order: potato and egg with beans, cheese, and a slice of bacon in each tortilla. The anticipation was akin to meeting a blind date for the first time - would we hit it off or end up in a heated debate over who makes the best tacos? Unfortunately, it was the latter. With one bite, I was transported to aisle 7 at the grocery store, wrestling with clingy plastic wrap on a pack of discount, non-refrigerated tortillas. Surely, this couldn't be the grand taco affair I was promised! As a proud native of the 956, Rio Grande Valley (where we take our tacos as seriously as our quinceañeras), I can attest to the authentic taste that should be present in a true breakfast taco. If that elusive 10 out of 10 taco is a precious gem, these tacos were a 2. The vibe of the place and the pictures on the window lured me in, only to leave me with an unfulfilled taco craving and disappointment so heavy, it could sink the Titanic. To sum it up, my breakfast taco journey at this establishment left me feeling like a lovesick fool who was catfished by a breakfast taco. If you're after that true, authentic taste, it's best to keep on looking - or simply hop on a plane to the 956. As for the service, it was alright, but it's a pain to call a place to place an order and have it give you the busy signal. If you can afford to remodel your restaurant, then surely you can afford to make it so that your customers can be placed on hold while they wait for the cashier to finish the other call. read more

So it's not in the most upscale part of Austin. So what! If you want some excellent Tex-Mex breakfast, this is the place for you. Located in a tiny strip center in south Austin, this little eatery is a gem and serves some mean breakfast tacos. I mean almost San Antonio good. Delicious and rich flavors. We had 2 types of tacos: Chorizo with potatoes and beans Papas a la Mexicana with beans. Both were excellent read more

Just went for a meal after my boyfriend's basketball game in the area and it was phenomenal! Service was fast and friendly - plus the quesadillas were the best we've had! I had a shrimp one and my boyfriend had the chicken fajitas. Their salsas are also very complex and delicious! Hope to be back read more

Wonderfully clean hole in the wall. Impeccable creamy green salsa. In fact, they bring three different kinds of salsas to the table which is lovely. Server spoke both Spanish and English and was super kind. I'm also celiac and wasn't cross contaminated read more

The food itself was pretty alright but the service wasn't there for me. I am someone who didn't grow up learning Spanish and I feel like the ladies there were rude to me because I wasn't speaking to them back in Spanish. Then when I paid I was definitely overcharged.. I would never again. read more

Called to make a takeout order (they answered in Spanish and I spoke English). I asked if they could make a shrimp burrito and she said no and listed out options in Spanish. I said ok, I'd pay for the up charge and she hung up on me. I'm working 12-14 hour days which is why I'm ordering out on a business trip. This business lost a good tipper and reviewer. read more

I will never go back there. Ate there for over 30 years but the bar tender got hostile. Food used to be excellent but has gone downhill also. This place is no longer an option for me, off my list. Find somewhere else to eat and whatever you do avoid the small bar. read more

My manager and I are in Austin for a business meeting, and we ordered tacos from La Placita for a breakfast meet-and-greet. We were served promptly, the food was excellent, and our visitors enjoyed the tacos as much as we did. We made sure to bring La Placita's menus and business cards with us so our co-workers who live in the area could drop by! read more

Phenomenal place!! This is probably the best enchiladas I have ever had! We had a group of 5 and everyone loved their food. The service was great as well! Will definitely be back!! highly recommend read more

It's cheap, it's quick, it's greasy and it's good. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here buy if I'm in the area and want something quick I will stop by. I came here with my cousin we were driving by hungry and saw the sign . The full parking lot was reassuring in deciding to eat here . I ordered a fried shrimp plate which was a lot of 10 pieces my cousin ordered the vegetarian torta (it needed salt). The shrimp and torta took about 12 - 15 minutes to come out which was not bad . Considering they seemed to be having a rush. The torta like I said needed flavor and salt. The shrimp were very greasy and probably really bad for me but not bad. I would stop by if I'm hungry and in the area. They are very reasonably priced. read more

Came out of Yelp retirement to say how awesome this place is. Had a huge, filling breakfast including coffee with my husband for around $15. The staff was friendly and attentive. We're from out of town and were warned to stay away from this neighborhood but I'm so glad we didn't take that advice. Definitely worth a visit for the beans alone. read more

This is a very good hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. Not too crowded, delicious food but some items are a little pricey. They have very good Gorditas, menudo, corn tortillas from scratch. But they do not have the best service and I received my bean and cheese taco cold due to the cheese. If they would throw it back on the stove top for just a few seconds to heat up the cheese before it is served, it would be so much better!! read more

Horrible service. My husband and I got to the restaurant at 8:55 PM which online it says they close at 10 PM. Denies us to eat inside, mind you I have a baby. We ended up leaving. I never felt so unwelcome at a restaurant. It was embarrassing. Don't believe the reviews. There's a bunch a flies and dead flies inside as well. Doesn't look very clean. read more

My husband and I just moved to the neighborhood and are still figuring out the cool nearby secrets. This place is definitely one of them. I'm from San Antonio and this place taste just like home.

Best menudo in town. My husbands every Sunday brunch meal. Great food. Great service.

The best tortilla soup I've ever had! Super sweet servers. Glad I found this place recommend by a friend.

La Placita "The Little Place", is a hole in the wall restaurant, with comfy booths in a tiny strip mall that I have been coming to for years, now. They call themselves the home of the mini taco, because you can get a plate of 5 mini tacos for about $5.00 for lunch. The mini tacos are, actually, not the best things to get here, though. I mean, they are good, but, there is stuff here that is better. They make SUBLIME Mexican shrimp cocktails. Served in a glass, cooked fresh, in a brothy tomato sauce with avocado slices on top, a cup of lime wedges, saltines and a bottle of Valentina on the side, these are totally traditional. So many Mexican Shrimp cocktails "coctel de camaron" in Austin are wayyy too sweet. This one is perfect. Just the right amount of everything - citrus, broth, tomato, pico de gallo. The chico is find for lunch - the large one is huge. Delicious. The small is only about 5. 95. Pretty much anything this place makes with shrimp is wonderful. They have a plate of sauteed shrimp with onions, peppers and cheese. They have shrimp-filled chile rellenos and shrimp enchiladas. YUM. My perfect lunch there is a fresh squeezed glass of carrot juice (they make it while you wait) and the shrimp cocktail. They also serve whole fried fish, homemade gorditas, tortas, etc. Their meats that they can put into taco and tortas include the good stuff -- tripitas, chiccharron, lengua, al pastor, barbacoa - all the good traditional stuff. For appetizers, the mushroom and cheese quesadilla can't be beat. Breakfast. Sigh. Breakfast here is wonderful. I don' t think any breakfast plate is over $4.95 and they are wonderful. They have both migas AND chilaquiles, as well as nopales and eggs, chicharron and eggs, chorizo and eggs, huevos Mexicanos, huevos rancheros, all kinds of goodness on a plate with beans and potatoes and tortillas. Cheap breakfast tacos, too. The folks who run this place are super sweet and they will keep your salsa bowls full,with delicious homemade green and red salsa with chips that are brought to you as soon as you sit down. Yes, its a small homely place, but it is very clean and one of my favorite places in Austin. read more

This place is conviently located a couple of blocks down my street.I have eaten here more than 30 times and the food is solid.The service is very polite.If you are looking for authentic and good Mexican food I really recommend you try this place.The chile con queso is the best in austin.Their best two dishes in my opinion are the gorditas and the pork chop plate. They tortillas are very good not floury or undercooked like other austin basses chain tex/mex restraints.GO and Eat good Food now. read more

The food wasn't terrible. The Server checked on us only once during the meal but only after she checked on the table across from us twice. It's a very small place with a big menu. It's also pricey. We would not have normally gone there had I not had a Restaurant. Com Certificate which they refuse to accept. They said they weren't taking them anymore. Their suppose to accept all that are sold. I bought mine on 10/14/18. It's bad business not to finish what you start. I find this place kind of Shady. They should have contacted Restaurant. Com and explained why they weren't accepting the Certificates. Instead they lure people to their business using the advertisement then refuse to accept the Certificates. They figure they have a fifty, fifty chance on the people staying like we did. It was apparent because the Server asked us if we were going to stay when she gave us a NO on the Certificate. I can't recommend this place. read more
