" Visiting La Placita Express was a great choice! I enjoyed their fresh quesadilla and really appreciated the quality of the food. Everything tasted homemade, which is hard to find. Maria made sure I had everything I needed at my table. However, the wait was a bit long for my order, but that’s understandable given the fresh preparations. I would certainly recommend this place to family and friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited La Placita Express on a busy Saturday afternoon. Let me tell you, even with the crowd, the food was exceptional! I ordered the carne asada burrito, and it was packed with flavor and generous meat portions. The owner, Maria, is incredibly friendly and even suggested I try the fresh churros. They were the perfect end to a delicious meal! I highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Mexican food. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had mixed experiences at La Placita Express. On one hand, their deshebrada tacos are incredibly flavorful and remind me of meals cooked by my family. However, during my last visit, the service was quite slow, and my order took longer than expected. It was frustrating because the food quality is typically good. I recommend going during off-peak hours to enjoy both the food and service without the rush. For authentic Mexican food, it’s worth the visit despite some inconsistent experiences. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had the most amazing experience at La Placita Express! The tinga tacos were bursting with flavor, and the fresh corn tortillas made all the difference. The service was friendly, and I even got a complimentary side of guacamole, which was a nice touch. The environment is perfect for a casual meal, and although it’s located in a mall, it feels cozy and inviting. Can't wait to come back soon and try their breakfast menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a disappointing experience at La Placita Express. The tacos were bland, and the service was quite slow. It took a while for someone to take my order, and I found the place to be quite cramped. The only highlight was the churro, which was the best I've ever had! I might give it another go on a non-peak day, but I wasn't impressed this visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Placita Express is truly a hidden gem! I stumbled upon this little spot while shopping at the mall and decided to give it a try. The taco plate was delightful and exactly what I needed to fill my craving for authentic Mexican food! I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh the ingredients tasted, especially the homemade corn tortillas. The service was friendly, which made the experience even better. I can’t wait to return and try their breakfast options next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Placita Express was a bit of a letdown for me. While some dishes were delicious, such as the tacos, I found the enchilada too greasy and lacking in flavor. I expected fresh, vibrant food but was disappointed. The service was adequate but not overly friendly. I think the ambiance could use some improvement, as it felt a bit cramped in the fast-casual setting. I might come back to try their breakfast, as I've heard good things about their huevos rancheros. Overall, it wasn't the worst experience, but I hope for better next time. " (*Curated Review*)
