Came here on Cinco de Mayo, easily the busiest day of the year for Mexican restaurants; and this…read moreplace absolutely crushed it. We were seated in about 10 minutes, which is unheard of on a night like that. The service was next level; multiple servers worked together seamlessly, making sure every table was taken care of without missing a beat. The kitchen was firing on all cylinders, pushing out food fast despite being completely packed inside and out, and everything came out hot, fresh, and perfect. They even had complimentary snacks to build your own street corn (hands down my favorite) and gave out Cinco de Mayo glasses, which was pretty cool. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place, the food, the service, the atmosphere, all of it. La Placita is the real deal. Locally owned and operated by genuinely great people, and it shows in every part of the experience. If you're looking for how a restaurant should run on its busiest day of the year, this is it.

Guacamole casera is a specialty at this restaurant. Chunks of avocado, onions, tomatoes, cilantro and jalapenos with lime juice and salt. So delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed this appetizer. 5/5 Birria tacos are not on the menu. But they have the best in my humble opinion. Seasoned but not greasy and salty. They fill up the taco shells with lots of meat. The meat is tender, succulent, seasoned well, and plentiful. The consommé is delicious and not greasy or too salty. 5/5 Lunch chicken fajitas were steaming hot delivered with a plate of refried beans, Mexican rice, lettuce, pico, sour cream and guacamole. The fajitas were seasoned well, not too salty and absolutely delicious. 5/5 Michelada was on my mind. I haven't had one in a while. Their Michelada was made with Modelo and Clamato with tajin on the rim. Delicious!!! 5/5 If you like guacamole and birria tacos. Please stop by to check out the foods. They have great drinks and drink prices too. 5/5

I went to Taco Mama once with a friend, tried El Cazador because the stand on Hwy 72 looked too cute, and went to Cantina Laredo with the hubby for a lunch date. Don't get me wrong, the tacos weren't terrible, but they weren't something I'd crave necessarily. I read about this taco truck during a google search and thought omg this is too good to be true, but it wasn't! I tried it for the 1st time last week with the hubby and was so thrilled. We both got 4 carne asada tacos for $6. So cheap! (I've found that food is not necessarily cheaper here than in CA even with the high wages in CA just saying...) And man was it good. The meat was so well seasoned and they gave plenty of meat per street taco. The only thing missing is some darn Carne Asada fries! I wish that was a thing here! Oh and orange bang. Where can a girl get some orange bang around here? I need my whipped orange creamsicle drink stat! Or whipped pina colada drink! They do have horchata that is a plus! I'm so glad I found this place. Makes this Cali girl so happy!

This location seems to have replaced the Gaudalajara restaurant. There's a fairly large and new…read moresign on top of the restaurant. It's located at a strip mall near Walmart. I was greeted fairly quickly when I entered and guided to a seat with a menu and silverware. A few minutes later, the server (was bilingual) came out and asked for what I wanted. I received my salsa and chips at this time. The salsa was pretty watery and lacked spice or much flavor. It was nothing special, and chips seemed like they were made a long time ago. Looking at the menu, it seemed like a typical Mexican restaurant though I was a little disappointed that the street tacos didn't have many options. I was a little inclined to think after looking at the menu that it was more Tex Mex. They did seem to have a nice deal for aguas frescas with two glasses for under $3. That's pretty unheard of here in HSV. I ended up ordering 3 pastor tacos. I received food fairly quickly. The street tacos have a large amount of cilantro and raw onions, but not as much meat as I had hoped for. The red sauce served on the side wasn't very spicy and had more of a smokiness. Not sure I had the experience I wanted. I had to wait a bit after finishing my food to get my check or even see the waiter. If I come back, I'll try the aguas frescas.

The only complaint I have is it did take a couple minutes for our waitress to come to the table however she was very attentive afterwards. They also had a sign for "Now Hiring" so I was expecting a little wait here or there.

They have the right amount of liquor in it so it's not super strong. The presentation was pretty as well. You can really see from my picture but the little shorter on the side has edible glitter in it so when you squeeze it out on your drink you can see it glistening. The food was also good, they do have a lunch special on the weekends which we love! The staff was attentive and friendly. They offer outdoor seating as well.
