    First time trying La Plazuela, the service and food were really good. We got there about 7pm and were sat immediately. Cute place it has a stage so I'm assuming they do some type of events there. Food: 9/10 Service: 9/10 I would definitely recommend and come back again.

    Outstanding taste. Burrito is very large and could split between two young adults. Carnitas dinner plate very delicious and filling.

    My husband and I had lunch at La Plazuela today, and once again, it was absolutely delicious! We've been a few times now, and every visit has been consistently great. The staff is always so kind and welcoming, and the service today was no exception; friendly, attentive, and helpful. My husband ordered the #5 combo: Enchilada with Chile Relleno. The server gave him a heads-up that the current batch of chiles was a bit spicier than usual, which he appreciated, he loves spice, so it was actually a bonus. He said the chile relleno was incredibly flavorful with just the right amount of heat to enhance the dish without overpowering it. And the enchilada? He said it was the best he's ever had, rich, satisfying, and perfectly prepared. I had the Super Burrito Asada, and it was absolutely perfection. The burrito came lightly grilled, which added the perfect texture. The meat was tender and packed with flavor, and all the ingredients were balanced so well, every bite had the right mix. La Plazuela continues to be one of our favorite spots. Delicious food, lovely atmosphere, and genuinely wonderful staff. Highly recommend!

    Riquísima! Delicious! Our go-to mexican food restaurant in Antioch. It's not very busy, which is surprising. We tend to go for lunch. I usually won't go if I can make it better myself. The beans and rice are flavorful, the chips are crispy and the salsa is not hot, but a nice consistency. The chile relleno has a good balance of chile and cheese. The tamale does have a bit more masa tha. I like, but it's still good. Everything we've had so far has been good. The portions are huge.The service is always good. We definitely enjoy La Plazuela. They have music on the weekends! Fyi-Drinks are more expensive on those nights.

    Don't understand why this place is not crazy busy all the time. Great atmosphere, great food, great staff, music, the whole shooting match. sitting in the bar, bright and fun Give it a try, you won't be sorry.

    What a great find! Nice & big with lots of room. Very comfortable and clean. Was most impressed by the person that greeted us and helped us the whole time! Lydia was and is the best part of coming here! Super nice & professional along with a great, positive attitude! She was the only one working, but she was keeping up so great with a few tables that were being utilized. We got there on a Sunday at 11:30 right when they opened up so it wasn't too busy yet she treated us like we were the most important people in the world. She has a great smile, a wonderful way of talking to customers and was just so great that she made the whole experience fantastic! Food was good and a nice large portion. The guacamole was the bomb! Some of the best I've ever had. If you are looking for a nice place to eat at, check out this place! A++++++++++

    Forgot to take a picture before I demolished the enchilada.. I will say the food had really good flavor, so delicious. The service was also good, the waiter checked on my table a few times to make sure everything was good. Also appreciated that they give you a thing of water at your table so you don't have to wait for anyone to come get you more. Not from the area, but if I happen to be in town would definitely be going there again!

    Carnitas plate

    Best Carnitas Plate in the Bay! Wonderful service and delicious margaritas. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who loves Mexican food as much as I. Have mentioned the salsa yet?

    The service was great, the lady in front was super nice, the place was clean; the salsa is not spicy btw; the food was good; i hope this place gets more business; we got two burritos and a chicken quesadilla; horchata was okay; overall you get what you would expect from a mexican/hispanic restaurant.

    Thank God for another meal, because this place definitely did not serve one made with care…read more The experience started off confusing before we even got the food. We pulled up around 12:50, and the sign on the door said closed, while the lighted sign said open. Mixed signals right away. We literally had to call just to find out if anyone was even there. I ordered a super burrito wet, half green and half red sauce. I was told what it came with, but when I got the food, key ingredients were missing. No real sour cream, no proper pico de gallo, and barely anything that made it feel like an actual super burrito. I also ordered another super burrito and asked for ranchero meat, because that is clearly something they sell there. If you sell ranchero tacos, then obviously ranchero meat exists in your kitchen and should be an option in a burrito too. Instead, the burrito came in a box looking like they already knew it wasn't put together right. When I got home and opened it, I was honestly disappointed. The photos speak for themselves. This was not a super burrito. It was a sloppy tortilla overloaded with rice and meat, with almost nothing else inside to balance it out. No beans, barely any vegetables, no real pico, and no care in the way it was made. It looked like somebody just stuffed whatever was easiest in there and called it done. And before anyone tries to say I didn't ask for certain things, you can literally see tiny pieces of tomato in there, which shows some kind of veggie mix was supposed to be part of it. But overall, it was still mostly just rice and meat. That is not what people expect when they order a super burrito. The wet burrito was just as bad presentation-wise. It should have been smothered properly, with that melty, flavorful, put-together look. Instead, it looked rushed, sloppy, and halfway done. Even the cheese on top looked like it was thrown on without any effort. This whole meal felt like it was made with no pride. Confusing service, missing ingredients, weak execution, and burritos that looked more like a struggle meal than something worth paying for. Grateful to have food, always. But I would not come back for this. Here's a shorter, sharper Yelp version too: Pulled up around 12:50 and the sign said closed, but the open light was on. We had to call just to see if anyone was there. That should've been the first warning. Ordered a wet super burrito, half green and half red, and another super burrito with ranchero meat. What I got was a sloppy mess. The photos speak for themselves. These were not super burritos -- they were mostly rice and meat stuffed into a tortilla with missing ingredients and no care. No real pico de gallo, no beans, barely any balance, and the wet burrito looked rushed and poorly finished. The cheese on top looked thrown on, not melted and smothered the way it should be. One burrito even came in a box looking like it had already fallen apart. If you sell ranchero tacos, then ranchero should clearly be available as burrito meat too. No excuse there. The places was alone for it to be lunch hour . Not a lot of people Overall, this food looked and tasted like it was made with no pride. Grateful for the meal, but definitely not worth the money.

    I love this place, but this visit absolutely sealed the deal all over again…read more We ordered the carne asada super burrito and it was perfection. It was packed with flavorful, juicy meat and had the ideal ratio of beans, rice, and cheese -- every bite was balanced and satisfying. No skimpy filling here. Just a beautifully built burrito done right. The chips and guacamole were just as impressive. The chips came out hot, thin, and perfectly fresh -- that light crisp that shatters just right. The guacamole tasted bright and fresh, clearly made with care and real ingredients. We also tried the pastor torta, and wow. It was loaded with tender, well-seasoned meat, and the bread was soft, fresh, and toasted perfectly. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside -- exactly how a torta should be. Every component worked together so well. And the piña agua fresca? Super fresh and refreshing -- the perfect complement to everything we ordered. We come here often, but this time we switched it up and tried the burrito -- and it did not disappoint. This is easily one of the best taquerias in town. Consistently delicious, generous portions, and clearly made with pride. We'll definitely be back (soon!) to try the quesabirria. So grateful to have a spot like this in town.

I forgot to ask for salsa, but I didn't even need it. DELICIOUS! Also ordered a pastor torta (that was eaten later in the day). Was STILL delicious even-though the bottom was soggy. I'm sure if it was consumed right away the bottom would not be soggy. Try this place out. You will not be disappointed. We'll be back for the other items on the menu!

    ***** PLEASE READ BEFORE EATING HERE *****…read more I normally do not leave Yelp reviews unless an experience is truly bad, but after today I felt people should know before spending their money here. I chose Guadalajara because I had previously tried their food truck at an event and really enjoyed the food. For Mother's Day, my 17-year-old son wanted to do something nice for me and took me there with my other kid and my mother. Unfortunately, the experience was awful from the moment we walked in. The restaurant was completely dead with barely any customers, and the woman working the front register looked irritated that we were even there. She was unfriendly, rude, rushed us while ordering, and made us feel like we were bothering her the entire time. While ordering, we noticed there were no cooks in the kitchen. After we placed our order, she told us they were "running behind" because there were no cooks available. She also got part of our order wrong, specifically the type of meat we requested. When we politely questioned it after seeing the receipt, she immediately became defensive and insisted we ordered it that way, which we absolutely did not. She eventually said she would fix it before the food came out. The problems continued after that. The bathroom had no toilet paper, there were no napkins or utensils available anywhere in the restaurant, and every time we had to ask her for something she acted irritated and inconvenienced. When my food finally arrived, it was extremely spicy. When I asked why, she claimed I had personally requested it extra spicy, which never happened. At that point it became obvious she had rushed through our order and was not listening to anything we were actually asking for. The atmosphere felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming the entire time. My mother even went to get napkins from the car because she did not want to "bother" the cashier again due to how rude she was acting. I felt terrible because my son had good intentions bringing me here for Mother's Day, and he honestly felt bad afterward for recommending the restaurant. I appreciated his thoughtfulness, but sadly this experience completely ruined what should have been a nice family meal. I will never return here, and I would never recommend this place to anyone. Whether this woman is the owner, a family member, or an employee, management needs to understand that this level of customer service drives people away. Word of mouth matters, and customer service can absolutely ruin a restaurant no matter how good the food may once have been. One star.
