I don't leave reviews often, but my boyfriend and I have said "I can't believe how good dinner was" at least 10 times since going to La Plaza. Casual spot, but very quick and attentive service! The pork tacos were delicious and our margs were never empty. We will absolutely be back!

Love that the staff remembers us and give attentive energy towards our entry.. I feel they do this to everyone and that is a plus for any business. You making your customer happy is essential to a long lasting establishment. I'm always here for a quick Cuba libre or margarita. My lady always wants a pupusa and I've come to love the yuka and chicharron. I've been eating here for the past 3 years never been a disappointment.

I wouldn't order the Mexican food here, but the Salvadoran food is not bad. The pate I got came with a palisade, plantains, rice, beans, and a couple other things. A little overpriced. Service and ambiance were quick casual vibes. Nothing amazing, but nothing bad to be sure!

This is a great neighborhood Salvadorean-Mexican place. The food is reliably good, especially if you go for the standards. They could be a bit friendlier, but it's fine!

Appreciate La Plaza is open a little later than other places. Additional bonus when opened late and have great tasting food and good service. Not sure if it was due to how late we went in, but it wasn't too busy in the restaurant that is decorated with some cool flair. We were asked for drink orders fairly quickly and beverages and food were provided in a timely manner. To start your meal, highly recommend ordering the papusas. Best papusas that I have had in the area.

Very fast and friendly service, the staff are all very attentive and came to check on me frequently. The chicken tacos were ok, maybe a little bland but that's on me for not ordering something more traditional or one of the specialties. The margaritas are strong, i ended up buzzed shopping at the Traer Joe's across the street . The salsa is also DELICIOUS, very fresh, with a nice jalapeño kick. If you're in the area it's definitely worth a try, the outdoor seating is shaded and they are always checking outside (i.e., they don't ignore the customers who sit on the patio).
