" My friends and I came in on a Saturday and the place was packed! Initially, I was put off by the wait, but the tacos were worth it! Have to say, the asada was so tender and bursting with flavor! I was pleased with my meal, but the small seating did make the experience a bit cramped. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want to enjoy authentic Mexican food, look no further! I tried their pozole and it's the best I've had outside of Mexico. The flavors were deep and comforting, just like a family meal. My only wish is that they had more seating, as it gets quite packed! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! The birria is some of the best I've had, and their homemade tortillas set them apart from other spots. I love the cozy atmosphere and how attentive the staff can be. It was slightly busy during my visit, but it was worth the wait! My new go-to spot for Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Placita has been my favorite Mexican restaurant for years. Their food is always delicious and the flavors remind me of home. The only downside is the parking situation; it can be difficult during busy hours. Still, the food makes up for any inconvenience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I usually enjoy my meals here, but my last experience was less than favorable. I ordered the carne asada burrito and it arrived quite greasy. The flavor was there, but I find the portion sizes don’t match the price lately. Hoping next time will be better! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this little spot. Ordered the crispy tacos, and they were packed with flavor! The salsa is fantastic too. I think the prices might be creeping up, but with food this delicious, it’s easy to look past that. Will definitely keep coming back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and couldn't have asked for a better meal! The sopes were delightful, and the service was top-notch. The only thing holding me back from giving a perfect score would be the somewhat noisy atmosphere, but it's all part of the charm. " (*Curated Review*)
