If you like great authentic Mexican food La Plaza is for you. Basic, nothing fancy, somewhat rundown restaurant and it was hard for me decide what number to rate them. I gave them a five only because of the wonderful food. Nice people work here however don't expect cloth napkins, or beer on tap or even a cold glass for your bottled beer. We went there for dinner on a Saturday night at 5:30 and besided us there were only 3 other tables with customers (all were Mexicans which suggested to me that the food would be great, which it was). You place your order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. When done you pay at the counter and if using a credit card the procession machine is all in Spanish, no English and there isn't a place on it for a tip. They do have a tip jar by the counter. read more

This was the place i was looking for. No gringo place, real honest made there from scratch food. Beer was so cold in the glass it turned into a slushy. I world return. Oh and the jalapeño sauce ... like ! A bit off the freeway but just a little way, maybe 3 minutes. Google it read more

Husband and I stopped here on our road trip back home. After hiking in the morning and having mediocre food from Shasta I was coming in hungry . La Plaza is a clean, nice family environment with lots of traditional plates. As a LA born kid I always play it safe and choose Tacos on road trips so I ordered 2 Tacos de Asada with a side of Rice and Beans and WOW.... From the minute my fingers touched that homemade tortilla I knew I had found my new place when traveling back up to Mt.Shasta . A few things ... Don't sell your appetite short , order 2+ (they are not your average tiny pre made street tortilla size) Don't (I repeat) don't dismiss when they give you the warning that the delicious salsa brought with the tacos is HOT as they aren't lying. Don't hesitate on ordering a side of rice and beans .. they taste just like grandma made them. Thank you Ricardo for the delicious food hospitality. Excited to return and venture through the rest of their offerings . (Sorry for the terrible half eaten pic lol but clearly my mind was on those tacos and not on this review) . Provecho!! read more

La Plaza - 1 Half eaten Carne asada taco, hand made tortilla ... #heaven lol - Mexican Near Me - Corning, California

Delicious! We were driving through and wanted to give this place a shot. Ambience? Not so much. But who cares when the food is this delicious! read more

Some of the best tacos I've ever had on the west coast. Including Oakland and LA. HANDMADE TORTILLAS!!! Honestly unless the tortillas are handmade I disregard a taco spot. I will be back on my next i5 trip for more bomb tacos. A few blocks off the 5, it's worth the journey! read more

Just like eating at home! Real authentic Mexican food. Must try if in the area. Caldo de chacal for the win!

100% Authentic Mexican Food no one comes in close in Corning

I'll just say this food wasn't cooked when l we ordered. It was all microwaved and not fresh at all. Chips tasted old and very hard to eat. Nothing was in English to explain what's on each plate. Home made tortillas was good but everything else no at all good. Freezer burn meat in my wife burrito was awful. I had high hopes that crash and burn quickly. read more

The best food and service! Great hole in the wall place to eat. I'd drive back to Corning just to eat here.

Absolutely amazing Mexican food. Chips and salsa were top notch. Chicken and carnitas enchiladas are to die for. Even the beans and rice we're good. God bless Yelp for leading me here. read more

I'm picky and this place is great. Could use a facelift but clean and the food is delicious go support them family owned.

So delicious!! Passing through this town on our way home and found this place through yelp and it did not disappoint! I had their carne asada tacos and my son had a carne asada burrito, the asada, salsa and tortillas had such a great flavor. I wish I would gotten more food to go. read more

Wife and I went for the first time and were really happy with our food. Very authentic with fresh corn tortillas. Salsa had just the right flavor and heat. We will be going back and trying the rest of the menu. read more

This is a great place to eat! Authentic Mexican food! You can never go wrong, from breakfast dishes (MUST try the chilaquiles!) or if you prefer their tacos, fish tacos are the best in town! Hand made tortillas leave the competition out! if you are on the road, this is a great place to stop at, it will not break your bank either.. very affordable! read more
