10 tacos 35$. 55m wait. Never again. Out of asada, al pastor and pollo. they hand cut the chicken from the grilled chicken they are bbqing in the front. Shorthanded. Not enough people for lunch rush. made to order. Orders aren't processed sequentially. Smaller orders jump the line. The 10 tacos, most were short filling. Weren't made right because they were in a rush. Meat very flavorful. 3$ each. No quality control. Small business. Go during off hours. read more

You know it's worth trying the food when they have a giant grill right outside their market slow cooking whole chickens. I did not get the chicken lol. Instead I got the bierra tacos. Ice become obsessed with them lately. Trying to find some of the best birroa tacos in the Bay area. Don't judge me but I've only hit two spots and I am late to the game when biirra was trending. I ordered 4 birria tacos with the consome. Now I did not know that the birria tacos would be huge I thought they would be the street taco size but alas they were not. Next time I think about two would be enough three if I am really hungry. It was cheesy and the birria was tender. The consome was excellent with chunks of birria also in there, just the right balance of spice and salt. I need to try their other foods if their birria tacos were this good. read more

Good plain tamales, a bit dry when eaten plain, tastes like a corn cake when eaten just with sour cream. That with the salsa makes it savory. Hubby said it's the best of its kind. I ordered the side sour cream at the out-facing eatery which comes with salsa. Got a regular asada Taco that tastes okay, but the aftertaste is fantastic. I ate, didn't want to continue, but the after taste makes me want more. And I like the intense corn aftertaste in my mouth from the corn tortilla. Their corn tortillas are way better than others I had before, but it is very subtle. Very tiny outside seats, so I ate the taco in my car and brought the rest home. Reviewers said they were cheated here and it is highly plausible. read more

Their waitresses cannot make a margarita. The Bartenders come in at 4:00p.m. So no reason to come in before that time. I came in with a client for lunch and ordered a margarita and get sick afterwards. They need to stop being cheap and put a bartender on for the lunch shift. The reason I gave them 4 stars is because the 2 bartenders are great but the waitresses are not so good. read more

I ordered two tamales. But they served them on a plate COVERED in sour cream. It was so much that I had to scoop it off. They usually just serve it to me in a to go bag without sour cream but today, they for some reason drenched it in sour cream. It kind of seems like it was done on purpose so I wouldn't come back. This experience put a bad taste in my mouth. read more

5-star Mexican food served out of a window in a grocery store. We had chicken quesadilla and al pastor burrito, and both (but especially the Al pastor burrito) were soooo flavorful and delicious. This might have been my favorite burrito ever! read more

Their horchata is very strong on its flavor and not watery at all! Which is an A+ !! Their menu prices are also very decent as it sounds reasonable for the items. I ordered a quesadilla with birria meat and it was honestly exactly as I had expected it to be. Nothing too fancy but hit the spot. One thing though that kind put me off the mood on the quesadilla was that i had a WHOLE BAY LEAF ! And took a bite and ate it sadly as i didnt notice till i was half into the bay leaf! Lol. Im Glad they season well although please make sure this does not happen again to any other customers ! :) besides that customer service was amazing and the wait time was no longer than 5 minutes. read more

La Plaza is a small Mexican market located on a pretty busy crossing in Mountain View. We have driven by for years, but needed some chiptoles in adobo we stopped on in First off there is plenty of parking. There as many have noted is a lot across the street. It has a decent selection of sundry items, plus what you would normally expect from any supermarket. Most importantly for us, It had our chiptoles. It has a pretty extensive butcher shop and a small but well stocked fresh section. We did not try the colocated eatery but will be back for sure read more

I like coming here for the tacos. Especially taco tuesdays or any time they have a special deal. The other day happened to be National Taco Day where they had a special on tacos for $1.25. A pretty great deal when you can feed two people for $10 dollars. I have never been inside the supermarket but one day, I would like to wander in and browse around. read more

cool market with grill chicken station outside and mexican food (tacos and burritos). I didn't check out inside though. you can order from outside for the grill chicken (7$ish for half and $14 for full) and the tacos/burritos. fast service. across from train tracks and the Rengroff park. read more

I found La Plaza Market to have a decent selection, but it's noticeably smaller than other locations. Prices are on par with nearby stores, but the real gems are the weekly specials - they can save you some good money. read more

I have always had a great freindly experience. The owner talks to me about how he wants to help the community. The gas is cheaper than other gas stations near. read more

Love this place, amazing workers. Food is priced fairly and is very delicious. My family and I love coming here, and we've come to buy food here for years. It has everything you could need. Definitely come here! read more

Some things are cheaper here than other stores (mostly produce) others are more expensive than other stores. I bought 5 packs of tortillas and found them cheaper elsewhere. Asked if I could return them (just minutes later when I was at the other store) and they said no. Price check other stores first because they will not match or refund you. Customer service can be good sometimes and not so great others. read more

We received the paper weekly ad. We saw that they had pork spareribs on sale. So, we gave it a try. The store is located near the train track and a small parking lot is across the street. To our surprise, it's a nice small supermarket packed with lots of items. We went to the meat department and didn't see any spareribs but the sale sign. After some communication, the butcher understood what we were looking for. He disappeared into the back room and came out with a 15 lb package! He signaled if this was what we wanted. We saw that the ribs were of good quality and at a good price!7Although it would take us weeks to finish, but we agreed to buy the whole package! In addition, the cashier was friendly and seemed to enjoy working in the store. We highly recommend to check out smaller grocery stores like this one and promote local business! read more

Had three tacos (al pastor, carnitas, chorizo) and a pork tamale. Both the tacos and tamale were super solid, the tacos came with the traditional accompaniments of white onion, cilantro, and salsa. Probably the best selection of meets and price of any nearby taco place I've eaten at. read more

My first visit since it was Mi Pueblo. Window person wore a mask. I only ordered the Al Pastor street tacos. They were great! He even put the salsa on the side for my son. If the other items are as good, I'll raise the rating. Things were clean inside in the market too, but I didn't need anything. Next time I'll bring my shopping list. Has anyone tried the seasoned carne asada meat? read more

I come here almost every Tuesday for Taco Tuesday. Their al pastor is so good, tacos end up being less than $1.50 each. Husband is also a fan of their torta. They're quick and good. Highly recommend! They finally updated their menus to reflect the weekly specials. read more

Synopsis: they shorted us two tacos AND swapped meats on two burritos. I used to really like La Plaza's taco window but my last visit turned me off so completely that I won't be back. I distinctly remember really enjoying their spicy Al Pastor back when it was Mi Pueblito. It was so obvious that they didn't care about the order and since you can throw a rock in almost every part of southern Mtn View and hit at least two taquerias, there's no reason to give this place any more money. I was picking up lunch for myself and some coworkers while also grabbing a car from a nearby shop. We arrived before the lunch rush so you cannot blame a busy tacqueria for these screwups. 1) We ordered 4 burritos and two tacos. Two of the burritos were to be Al Pastor and I distinctly asked if they had it. Despite saying yes, we ended up with three chicken burritos. At least the veggie burrito we ordered wasn't chicken so thanks for that. 2) I asked if everything was in the bag and of course, they said yes again. When we got to the office though, we found that these guys shorted us on the two tacos we ordered. 3) I called to complain when we realized we had gotten gypped and some lady just put the phone down and walked away (you could hear background noise). It's not worth going back there a few days later just to get my $4 but it still irks me that they shorted us. read more

People it's a real Mexican market. Don't expect the employees to be all smiles and speak clear English.. The food is fantastic. meats and fish are fresh.. Everything is cheap. You see Latin people shopping here means this is the place to shop for real Latin food. So if you don't like the way you where treated then go to whole foods! Do what I do.. Pretend you're in mexico. If you been there then you'll know what I mean and no I don't mean cabo or Cancun where you're in a close in resorts. I mean deep into mexico to the real neighborhoods and gone to their local markets. Because I have and that's what LA plaza reminds me of. read more

I was told that this market has a bakery and they would carry Tres Leches Cake. Unfortunately they did not make it here. They did have small slices shipped here from another bakery. Decided to try it out. After one bite, the rest was in the trash. As for the rest of the market, it's small. The design is very tight so if two carts decide to pass each other in an isle, someones going down! Yep, that narrow. They do have a nice meat section in the back. Bought couple of items and both things were pretty fresh. Although the produce section was as narrow as the rest of the store, it was my favorite. Everything was fresh and well stocked. The prices are amazing! Compared to Lucky's and Safeway, they are quarter (if not less) the price. Customer service, not great. read more

I used to live not far from here and remember when it was built. All things Mexican grocery that you could need. The bonus is if you dont want to cook, there's a taqueria with window service out front. Solid all,around read more

No the huge Mi Pueblo i am used to, but it does the work of getting me the Mexican stuff I sometimes want (like those chipotle base salsas, different spices, Bimbo products or panaderia sweets). Remember there is a parking lot (easy to miss) across the street, so is not only the few parking spots you will see at the entrance. I like that there is taqueria that emanates good smells at the entrance of the store, so in case you don't wanna cook, there is always some food available. Nice and colorful. read more

A Mexican coworker recommended this place to me when I asked if he knew of a good breakfast burrito place. Came here for a super burrito instead. The taqueria is a hole in the wall outside of the supermarket, don't make the mistake that I did and walk a lap around the small supermarketo. Super burrito was a bit bland, I didn't like his the carne asada was minced and tasted a bit dry. The guacamole in the burrito was great and generous. A plus is the burrito is a lot less greasy than others but I guess it takes a hit in taste. read more

Best tacos I've ever had and at a great price! You can get 4 al pastor tacos for just over $5 on Taco Tuesday. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is that we have placed large orders in the past which have gotten messed up and it can be challenging to communicate with some of the employees there who only speak Spanish, but that just indicates how authentic they are. Would recommend it for anyone looking for great tacos in Mountain View! read more

I always go here for my groceries and I went today to take my sister in law to change her WIC . I believe every real store before placing items on shelves are ready to be scanned . I under stand sometimes and item won't go through and it's ok . But when the whole shelves are full and stock it's because they should be ready . Point is that we walked in with our WIC guide book and apparently the guide book is wrong I was to leave my WIC items bc they said that it's not WIC after confirming my purchase I was being charged a balance because the WIC items were not valid. The supervisor (man to seem in charge) and cashier were rude and told me that I didnt have to accept the purchase if I knew it wasn't going to go through . 1 - as store management you should have a store ready and provide excellent customer service . 2 -you don't tell your customer not to accept a purchase if they're shopping with guide Point is that the supervisor and cashier were LAZY to void the transaction because they didn't have the items ready to be scanned with WIC ! So why would you have them out??!!! IF THINGS CANT BE SOLD YOU DONT PUT THE ON THE SHELVE!!!! read more

Prices are pretty decent for veggies (+1 star). Meats are fresh (+1 star), but a little pricy (-1 star). Close to my home (+1 star). They have a parking lot (+1 star). = a solid 3 stars! :) I would definitely come back for the fresh oxtails...I'm having a craving for oxtail soup! read more

Very reasonable. For example, Strawberries 99 cent/pack. I don't regularlly eat mexican food, but still worth shopping here. Personally I really like bakeries/bread, mostly 85-90 cent/bread, cheaper and better taste than Safeway! read more

Small grocery spot that has all the essentials you need. I love how well embedded this market is to the neighborhood and its close proximity to the park across the street. However, I do miss Miss Pueblo, the previous company that owned the market prior to La Plaza. Ever since they've changed owners, its never been the same. The prices surely did go up and the quality of the products decreased. Their source of selections from produce to meats are not as prime fresh as Mi Pueblo's, but it's still good and decent. But you would notice the difference if you just headed over to the East Palo Alto Mi Pueblo location. The taqueria doesn't hook you up with all the fixings and then some that go with the tacos as Mi Pueblo did. In addition, they have mentioned they would add extra charge too for it. The quality of the food too isn't as tasty or savory as it was. More bland in flavor for my taste. Better to just hit up the taco truck. Anyways, it still nice to have a local market within walkable distance rather than living in a food desert. The market in itself is still a staple to those living in the community around it who may have limited transportation. Ample parking space adjacent to the building. Hot on the grill food on the weekends in front of the parking lot. In general the folks that work their are nice. read more

We bought a super carne asada burrito last week, $1.50 extra for the super and they didn't put the guacamole, cheese, and sour cream. We let go 'cause it could be a mistake. I also bought the super quesadilla and everything was included but no salsa. Yesterday 2/3/21, we bought 2 super carne asada burritos again and 1 super quesadilla and they didn't put the guacamole, cheese, and sour cream again on all our orders! The people working here are cheaters and we've been cheated for two weeks. Never coming back here again. Food was okay and it would be better if they didn't just take our money for the extras. They could've at least let us know if they didn't have guac and they continue to offer it. They didn't even get our carne asada orders right and gave us al pastor burritos which is $1.50 cheaper than carne asada. They probably think we don't know Mexican food and what we're getting since we're asians. Very disappointed with this place. I would put 0 star if possible. read more

Definitely not as good as Mi Pueblo when I wrote the original review 12 years ago. Got Quesabirria, Al pastor and carnitas tacos. Quesabirria was dry and tasteless, no consommé. The carnitas was also not very good, and the Al pastor was the least bad. Got a pork tamale, very dry and bland. Horchata was a little funny tasting (metallic?) and watery because it was sitting around for a few minutes with ice melting in it before they gave it to me ... maybe it was meant for someone else? read more

Did a side-by-side comparison with Rincon across the tracks, and Mi Pueblo loses =(. * Chorizo taco - Meat wasn't that great, a little overcooked, didnt have that little bit of a crisp you get with really fresh well done chorizo. And the tacos really soft/soggy. * Beef steak taco - Once again, meat a little overcooked. Tacos too soft. Overall they were flavored. Don't like that they add hot sauce (and a sh*t ton if it) for you - I like to add that myself. read more
