" A great find near Union Station! The food is wonderfully authentic and fresh. I was skeptical at first due to its size but quickly changed my mind after tasting their fabulous burritos! The staff are super nice, making the experience even better. Definitely a must visit for anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" The meals at Placita Café are nothing short of delightful! I stopped by during my trip to LA, and I'm still thinking about their carne asada burrito. It was packed with flavor, and the portion size was generous for the price. The fresh juices are a must-try as well. The vibe here is casual yet warm, making it perfect for a quick lunch or relaxed dinner. I can't wait to return next time I’m in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Placita Café on a recommendation and was not disappointed! The tacos were so flavorful, and I really appreciated that they used fresh ingredients. The juices are freshly made and simply divine! However, the seating is quite limited, which can make it hard to find a place during lunch hours. Regardless, the food and service make it a must-visit spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" By far my favorite place in LA! I love the authenticity of the meals, and the fresh ingredients really shine through in every dish. The fresh juices are a must-try, and I appreciated that they had great vegetarian options. It can get busy, but the atmosphere is worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great family-run establishment! We stopped in for lunch and were greeted warmly. I ordered the al pastor tacos and was blown away by the flavors. It felt like eating at home. It’s cozy but could benefit from more seating. This is truly a hidden gem in downtown LA! " (*Curated Review*)
