    Baked good and donuts
    Jason P.

    La Placita is a Mexican market and eatery a bit off the main drag in Middletown. If you need some specialty Mexican groceries, they would have a larger selection of products than would be an available in the Mexican section of most grocery stores. I was there to try their tacos, however. I had pastor and Bistec. Authentic taqueria style. They were good, but not top tier in CT for me. The textures and flavors were all good, but I prefer these tacsos at some other.CT places, including at least one nearby spot. 4 Stars

    Wow! What a find. Our food was so fresh and delicious! Only one table - most take To Go - but we were so well taken care of! Small grocery section of Mexican sauces, spices and tortillas. We will definitely go again

    Yummmmmmm, I'm writing this review as I eat. It's THAT good. I have been craving authentic Mexican flavors but feeling pretty defeated as I don't feel like driving to Wallingford or further south. There's another place in town but I found it disappointing. So on a whim, I call up La Placita and order a bunch of items, tacos, a quesadilla, rice and beans, chips and guacamole. I get there and it's kind of store with a few tables to sit and eat? I get home and the food is so good, I'm dancing in my seat! 5 stars! Will be my new go to!

    Cheese quesadilla with lettuce and avocado
    Tika P.

    The cheese quesadilla was the best I ever had outside of Mexico. The guacamole was fresh and good. I heard this place was a hidden gem and that was no joke. There are two tables if you want to dine in. Parking is across from the street in a parking lot full of rocks. I didn't like parking on the rocks but the food is so good I'll be back. It's looks like a Bodega, they sell groceries, food, drinks, ice cream and more. It was quiet in there. Everyone was nice.

    Great, authentic, delicious Mexican food!! I got the chicken tacos. I'm looking forward to trying some of their other items.

    Do not be off put by the small outside appearance. The food here was great and the service was excellent. No parking right outside the restaurant but there is a lot 20 feet away. Highly recommend the chicken quesadilla. Fresh avocado on the side was amazing.

    Really good, authentic food in a casual market with a couple of tables. I had the quesadilla al pastor - very good. My husband had the al pastor burrito which he absolutely loved. It was huge and covered in the most delicious queso sauce I've ever tasted. Many of their tortillas are homemade, and the store sells some great Mexican products from candy to dried peppers and spices. You can order at the counter (only took about ten minutes for the food to come out) or you can order online.

    *They have weird hours so please check those ahead of time!* My husband & I went here today to have…read morebreakfast at noon, yup NOON! You can have breakfast anytime or you can have lunch. The owner, Kay, took our orders & I made chit chat with her. What an amazing woman! THE RESTAURANT: While it is pretty small in here (think if you sneeze walking by, you'll miss it!) the place is very laid back & warm feeling. I finally made it here. The owner, Kay, said after Covid, she cut back the diner's hours, things were slow to come back. THE FOOD: My husband got the #1-scrambled, with a pancake, coffee is included & here ordered an orange juice. I ordered the #2- over medium with sausage & rye toast, coffee is included. The food was delicious! As we sat at the counter, talking to Kay, I noticed that the seats were comfortable & not lumpy & bumpy like most counter seats. The coffee was Omar coffee but also good. Kay told us they make the pancakes from scratch daily. I watched her make the home fries, also from scratch. This place is definitely a must visit if you want to try a throw back from the days when you walked in and people were nice & kind & genuinely just wanted to be friendly. Prices are decent, too.

    The one and only always. I've been going here since I went to the college nearby (I graduated in…read more'93) it's just as delicious as always. The service is absolutely the best, the owner is just the sweetest. The authentic and classic ct diner ambiance is 100% a reason to go. If I could give it a higher score I would.
