" Decent food at Taqueria La Placita, but there were some issues with my order. I had to wait longer than expected, which is frustrating when I'm just trying to grab a quick lunch. The tacos were tasty, but I felt they could have used a bit more filling. The staff seemed overwhelmed despite it not being very busy. I might give it another shot but would hope for better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to try Taqueria La Placita, and while I found the authenticity enjoyable, I encountered some hiccups. The service was friendly but slightly chaotic, and I experienced a long wait for my food. When it arrived, I appreciated the flavors but felt some items were a bit lacking in quantity for the price. I may return again—hoping that my next visit will be smoother. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a find! If you are in the area and craving real Mexican food, do not pass this place by! Each dish we ordered was incredible, but the carne asada tacos stole the show. The way they prepare their ingredients is evident in every bite. On top of that, the charmingly authentic vibe of the restaurant makes it feel like a special outing. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I have mixed feelings about my visit to Taqueria La Placita, I can't deny the incredible flavor profiles of their dishes. The tacos were excellent and the salsa was refreshing. However, my experience was marred by slow service and a long wait for our drinks. I also thought the prices were a bit higher than expected for a casual place. Despite the hiccups, the food quality could bring me back; I just hope for smoother service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Taqueria La Placita while searching for a place to grab lunch, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised! The taco al pastor was bursting with flavor, complemented perfectly by their homemade salsa. I loved how tender the meat was and the tortillas made right on site! Everything was so fresh, I felt like I was in Mexico enjoying street food. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making my experience even better. I can't wait to go back and try their burritos next time! " (*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*)
