" I have to say, La Placita Express was a delightful surprise! The amount of flavor in the tinga chicken tacos was incredible! Everything is homemade, including the corn tortillas, which I found impressive! Maria was so sweet and attentive; she truly cares about her customers. The only downside was the mall surroundings, but the food more than makes up for it. Don’t miss this gem if you’re in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at La Placita Express is truly amazing! I went there for lunch today and ordered the carne asada burrito and it was bursting with flavors. The homemade chips complement the meal wonderfully! The owner was very welcoming and gave me a complimentary salsa with my order, which was a nice surprise. I wish they offered more seating, as it can get quite busy during lunch hour. Overall, a great experience and I'm excited to try more items on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had to write a review of my latest experience at La Placita Express! The chips were freshly made and paired perfectly with their homemade salsa. I can’t remember the last time I had chips that tasted so good! I ordered carne asada with rice and beans, and it was delicious! It felt authentic, like the meals my mother used to make. Maria was fantastic; she went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed. If you're in search of great food in a friendly atmosphere, this is the place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lukewarm experience at La Placita Express. The taco I ordered tasted good but was not very memorable. The service wasn’t terrible, but it also didn’t stand out. I think they could improve on making their dining area feel more inviting. I might return to see if they have some new menu items or for their churros, which were nice! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had very high expectations after hearing so much about La Placita Express, and it mostly delivered. The tacos are authentic and made with fresh ingredients. However, the service was a bit slow this time around. I noticed that during busy hours, the staff struggles to keep up. Despite that, I would still recommend it to anyone looking for tasty, authentic Mexican food in a convenient location. " (*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*)
