" I had a less than satisfying visit at Plaza Mexican Bar & Grill. We ordered a variety of dishes, but there was a noticeable lack of seasoning in some of them. The carne asada fries were bland and could have used a punch of flavor. I did notice that the service was attentive, and the restaurant itself had a wonderful atmosphere, full of colors and decorations. Just wish the food could match that excitement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Entirely satisfied with my meal at Plaza. I was there for the first time and really loved the atmosphere and our server's hospitality. The mole enchiladas were flavorful and beautifully plated. Plus, the complimentary chips and salsa were addictive! I'd say this restaurant is a must-visit when in State College. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had a good experience overall at Plaza, I was expecting a little more in terms of authenticity. The food was tasty but felt more like a fusion than traditional Mexican. The service was excellent, and the ambiance was lively, but I think they'll need to tweak some recipes to really capture the essence of real Mexican food. I'll give it another shot, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Plaza Mexican last Saturday and had an excellent time! The ambiance was vibrant and the service was prompt. I ordered the loaded nachos which were huge and very satisfying. Only downside was that the flavors could be a bit more balanced. Would still recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Plaza Mexican was a pleasant surprise! I ordered a combination platter and it was filled with a bit of everything. While the flavors were good, I felt the portions were a little on the smaller side for the price. The atmosphere, however, was amazing, with live music adding to the experience. I would come back to try more dishes as I think it has potential! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was nice overall, but the food fell a bit flat for my taste. I had the burrito, which lacked seasoning and creativity. However, the service was good, and the restaurant's décor was lively; very fitting for a Mexican establishment. The margaritas were strong and refreshing, so that definitely contributed to the evening's enjoyment. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love this place, but it felt like some dishes were lacking authenticity. Don’t get me wrong, the food was good, and service was excellent, but there just wasn’t that sparkle of true Mexican cuisine. I had the shrimp tacos, and while enjoyable, they felt a bit bland. Still, the margaritas were amazing, and the staff was warm and welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)
