Didn't get served after an hour and a half. Got told to wait 30 minutes and then went back and got told another hour.

Genuinely the worst service I have ever received. Took an hour and ten minutes to receive mediocre food.

I've always been to popular Mexican restaurants nearby for margarita and chimichangas, but I've…read morenever felt like I actually ate real tacos. I did some research on Google and Yelp and found this place, which seemed to have genuine, legit tacos. I've had a good feeling about this restaurant, because I've never heard about it, not many people knows or reviewed it, but it still had good reviews. It was next to Winn Dixie strip mall on South College. It's also next to Panda (local Chinese, not Panda Express), my favorite American-style Chinese restaurant. I've always thought that La Plaza was a Mexican supermarket, but my friend who has been here before told me it's actually half supermarket and half restaurant. This friend also learned about this place through his friends, and only had their food by take-out. When I entered, there were only about 5-6 people dining: but no Americans. I walked up to the counter and the cashier/server took my order. The menu was written in both Spanish and English, but not all the items were translated. The cashier/server's English was very limited so I had trouble communicating what I wanted. My friend and I ordered 3 tacos (2) each, which you can choose the meat and also add toppings (lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, cheese) for 25 cents each. We got 2 fountain drinks, and I found dispenser for the horchata, so I got it. However, it was my first time getting non-gourmet horchata (my very first was from NYC's Chelsea Market) and it was too distilled and sweet). Next to the wall was salsa stand with 5-6 types of salsas. I've observed how non-American customers were eating, and I noticed that they ordered the tacos by itself and only added the salsa, without all the toppings I added. When I received my taco basket, I was surprised, because I didn't know how to grab it and put it into my mouth. It was made with two thin layers of tortilla and generous amount meat and the toppings I added (which was all). Having a small mouth, which isn't very popular at a dentist, I was so frustrated with the amount of food they put on my taco, which was even hard to wrap around with the tortilla. The tortilla was soft and was not greasy at all. The meat was very well seasoned, so different from Taco Bell's tacos and Old El Paso's. It was very well marinated and the amount they put was generous. Each of the toppings I added was worth paying 25 cents each. I was sincerely surprised by the price, taste, and the amount I received from this restaurant, and I can't wait to come back to this restaurant.

This place was like an all in one super market, restaurant, bodega. Super cool, I liked the vibes,…read morestaff was friendly. But I don't believe it was the cleanest place because I walked to the back to wash my hands I noticed the chef handling my tacos with his bare hands (side note I had a terrible case of the shits when I got home). I know not everyone uses gloves behind kitchen doors but I'm not sure the last time he washed his hands. That glove stuff surprisingly doesn't bother me as much as it should, because behind closed doors no one knows what goes on. The tacos were cool though I ate 1 and a half of my three. The sauces were laid out on the side to add additional topping besides onion and cilantro. The verde sauce was underwhelming but being that I was on a road trip, I did enjoy my corn seemingly authentic tacos. My biggest objection, like I said would be the fact that I almost crapped my pants shortly after consuming the food. Thanks guys, my fault for being hungry in an unknown territory. I did enjoy my Juaritos, tamarin snacks, and nick nacs from the bodega side.

Every time I travel to the area I pass this restaurant and say, "I need to try this place." Finally…read moregot the chance to try it, and I don't know if the built up anticipation caused me to expect more or the restaurant just didn't meet some minimum standards. The host who sat us was friendly enough. The restaurant is spacious with the expected Mexican decorations. Our table was not clean, and the host didn't notice. I asked the next person who came by to clean it, and she was happy to do it. It gave me hope that this was a minor issue, and we'd enjoy the rest. Unfortunately, it was the least of the issues. The server kept forgetting things we asked for and disappeared. We never got a refill on anything. He came back and apologized, but it seemed disingenuous. We were happy to leave, and unfortunately, we might not return - at least until we forget about this experience. Like: Quesadilla (flavorful steak, but one side did not have any on it); cheese dip (didn't get a refill on chips) Dislike: Hawaiian fajitas (great flavor; steak was tough with gristles); service (kept forgetting things, didn't refill anything, disappeared)

Arrived and were seated immediately. The booth was very cramped ... but we made it work…read more The restaurant was decorated in a typical Mexican restaurant way with bold colors and items from Mexican places around strategically. The menu was disappointing kind of big but it was a more Americanized version of Mexican food and I was looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant for dinner. The photos of the food are of more authentic dishes, but when you come in, read the descriptions on the items you realize that the owners have pretty much designed or reimagined all the dishes but for an more American target audience - not a bad thing for them but not the experience I wanted. I order the flautas (rolled tacos) 4 came with the order, guac & sour cream plus lettuce and tomato (I asked for them to leave that off I wasn't going to eat it anyway) no rice or beans I had to order that extra (‍) My son ordered a French fry appetizer My mom a chicken & steak plate. The chips & salsa were ok. Salsa lacked any real spice or flavor it tasted like tomato and oregano. I didn't have any. I ordered an horchata & it was fresh & delicious & the mug it came in was also pretty cool looking. My son really enjoyed his fried zero complaints there they had queso, chorizo & pico on them. My mom enjoyed her plate as well. My food was "ok" the meat in my flautas lacked seasoning & they were extremely greasy. The guacamole was tasteless & looked very unappealing so I didn't eat that, the rice & beans were very good delicious actually, the rice was probably my favorite part of my meal. Overall good definitely not terrible just not terribly authentic maybe somewhere in the middle.
