" Taqueria La Placita is one of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to in years! The flavors were truly authentic, just like the street tacos I've had on visits to Mexico. The carne asada burrito was packed with tender meat and wrapped in a fresh tortilla that practically melted in my mouth. The salsa verde is a must-try! I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for genuine Mexican cuisine. The ambiance felt familial and welcoming, it’s like dining with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" This taqueria is phenomenal for anyone who craves authentic Mexican food! I ordered the birria tacos, which were phenomenal and packed with flavor—and the homemade tortillas are a game changer. The staff was cheerful and friendly, contributing to a lovely dining experience. I would recommend their agua frescas as well! The only downside was a little wait for food, but it was well worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first experience at Taqueria La Placita, and I was really looking forward to it. Sadly, I ran into issues with my order being incorrect. While the food that I did receive was tasty, I felt the tortillas could have been more on point in terms of freshness. I think with some tweaks in order accuracy and attention to detail, they could elevate their service tremendously. I might try again in the future to give them another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I was excited to try this taqueria, I left feeling mixed. The flavors of my meal were commendable—the tacos had good seasoning. However, the service left much to be desired; I felt rushed and wasn’t asked if I wanted more drink—even though my glass was empty! Portions were decent, but I think they could expand the menu a bit more to cater to different tastes. Overall I might revisit someday to see if things have improved. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to check out Taqueria La Placita based on friends' recommendations and I was not disappointed! The tacos al pastor I had took me back to my travels in Mexico! The flavors were vibrant, and the portions were generous. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff are notably friendly. If you're after authentic flavors and value for your money, this is the place to go. I'll definitely be a returning customer! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered takeout from Taqueria La Placita last week and was pretty pleased! The tamales were authentic and flavorful, though I wish the portions were a bit larger. They wrapped everything well for my trip home, and the staff were friendly when I picked up my order. However, I encountered issues with my order not being fully complete upon pickup, which left me slightly frustrated. I will give them another chance, as the food was delightful. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my meal here! The enchiladas were divine, smothered in homemade verde sauce that had just the right balance of spicy and tangy. Their homemade tortillas make all the difference; you can really taste the freshness! The family that runs this restaurant is so warm-hearted, and they treated us like family. They also have plenty of authentic drinks available. I can't recommend this place enough; it really is a hidden gem in Rocky Mount! " (*Curated Review*)
