    Mushroom,  cactus, and steak quesadilla with sour cream.
    Colleen L.

    I'm a visitor to Flagstaff. For lack of restaurants near the theaters we came to the mall. I love Mexican food!! This place did not disappoint. I ordered the steak, mushroom, and cactus quesadilla. This is a very different quesadilla than I'm used to. Homemade corn tortilla is very flavorful. It was a thicker than what I'm used to, but it was delicious! Plenty of filling that was very tasty. I ordered it with a side of sour cream. Only down side, I should've had then cut it in half and grabbed extra napkins! This place will let me taste before I ordered which was great because my original item was a little too spicy for me. Delicious, but I want in the mid for spice today. Overall, when I come to Flagstaff, I will definitively come to the mall ti eat here again!!

    This was my first time eating at La Placita Express . I was greeted by a smile and " Hi, how are you doing?" By the manager Maria. I ordered the taco asada dinner and was going to take it home. Maria suggested I eat it while it was hot, or at least one taco. She was so right! Everything was good! Everything was fresh. I have to say from the awesome service to the food these are the BEST TACOS IN TOWN!! I will definitely bring my peeps here and come back again. Can't believe how many times I've walked passed this place while at the Mall. Glad I stopped this time

    A little expensive but WORTH IT! The rice has very good flavor and so do the flautas.

Thank goodness for his decision to come here because it was the food highlight of our whole trip! We were greeted right away at the counter and escorted to a table for our group of 4. On a Friday night, the restaurant was definitely busy, but we lucked out with finding parking in the lot and also getting a table. After a short wait to look through the menus (breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all served all day), we decided on chilaquiles (Christmas), pozole and a tamale, a pork chimichanga, and the LGBLT sandwich with fries - quite an assortment! The interior decor is a feast for the eyes while waiting for the food. The red walls and decorated with paintings and art throughout, which we enjoyed talking about as we were seated. The food arrived quickly though, and our focus immediately shifted to how delicious everything was! Everything tasted incredibly fresh and homemade in the best ways. The portions were generous and if you know me, you'd know that value makes things taste better lol. Service was excellent, the food was divine, and even the horchata and tres leches that we were enticed to order exceeded expectations. What a gem of a place. Highly recommend.

The staff here are very friendly. It's very colorful inside with Mexican art. Paintings line the walls by local artists and yes they are for sale! Everything on the menu looked delicious! I wanted to try everything! They're known for their chilaquiles. They have a motto: This is the place that chilaquiles was built. But I went against my better judgement and ordered Jerry el Mujeriego (enchilada filled with pork green chile, cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and topped with two over medium eggs. They're served with rice, beans, potatoes, and tortilla). My wife ordered Juevos Benedictos, eggs Benedict. When they brought our plates out, I couldn't believe how much food they gave us. The plates were full to the edges. Of course it came down to the flavors. My plate was just IOK. I was really expecting flavors that would pop, something that would stand out Mexican! Everything was kind of bland. I hate to say it, but it was as if they were catering to non Mexicans. I'm not Mexican, but I'm in a Mexican restaurant and I want bold Mexican flavors. Granted, they give you a lot of food. Maybe that's more important to some people. Now I wish I ordered their chilaquiles! My wife's Benedict was delicious however! The eggs were perfectly cooked and her dish was seasoned and had flavor. So our visit wasn't a total miss. I'm torn on how to rate them. A 3 or 4? I wish there were half ratings then I'd rate them a solid 3.5! I'll round it up!

But, when we found it...parking is ample and the entry is loud and proud. Bright interior colors and lots of Mexican pastries and other items before the order desk. The menu is ample and service is friendly...they acknowledged the poor directions ‍ I had the rolled taco special which came with rice beans and a drink (the horchata is AMAZING!). My friend had a huge breakfast burrito. In small places like this a salsa bar usually is a huge indicator of good food for me. The salsa bar was beyond impressive. All made in house...and do NOT bypass the pickled carrots and jalapeños. OH MY The interior is huge and it is definite a local take out place. I will be back to try more!

The burritos were massive and full of meat. No rice or beans, like chipotle. I'm not an expert with burritos, but I was not expecting that. It was really good though and very filling. Certainly a good value. I like the salsa and cold items bar. We tried a varienty of salsas as well as pickled vegetables and roasted jalapenos. Those were a nice touch.
