Super yummy michelada! Fresh pico that's plentiful with lime and cilantro- super yum. Super fluffy and flavorful rice. Black beans perfect consistency and three awesome salsas- pretty sure that one is a classic Verde, one is an avocado Verde that is super floral (likely jalapeños, and the red is unlike any other red I've had- pretty sure it has tamarindo yum). Nice outdoor seating and friendly service.... Probably couldn't ask for more... except maybe parking lol...I parked in the back lot but I'm pretty sure that's private for the apartments. First place I've tried in this area and I will definitely be back.

My friend raves about La Plancha Loca, and has for years so finally we went together. It's a little place, and usually always full so if you don't live close (or have a friend that does) you might occasionally have trouble finding a place to eat your food.My friend raves about the pastor so I tried that, the skirt steak and the La plancha shrimp. The La plancha shrimp taco was out of this world good, and I have been thinking of it ever since. Especially with the creamy green salsa offering they have had. Whatever tortillas they use are also very good. I'm giving it 4 stars because the skirt steak and al pastor weren't any more special that anywhere else.

Great tony little taco place. Wow. It was fantastic and they were knowledgeable about gluten free to advice me on what to order I got the Asada which I would rate a 7 of 10Then then Vampira which was a 10 of 10And the Vulcan which was a 10 of 10 but you have to get it without the fried crispy layer. Really great place.

After walking around Highwood trying to find a dinner spot, we ended up at La Plancha Loca. The atmosphere is very upbeat and summery. It's a small stand with some decorated outdoor seating. There's not much indoor seating, so I would recommend taking out in bad weather.The majority of their menu are tacos, with tons of different combinations that looked delicious. There are also burritos, quesadillas, chips and guac, etc. Really anything you could want from a Mexican restaurant.Service was wonderful here. They were helpful and quick!We started with just a basic order of chips & guac, which was a good size to split between four of us. Their chips were homemade and uniquely spiced and were thicker than your normal chip - perfect for holding any dips or toppings! The guac was also delicious.I ordered a burrito bowl, which wasn't on the menu but they offer. Only word of warning is that it doesn't come with rice. We weren't warned of this when we ordered, but when we asked they gave me a side of rice for free which was very nice. Everything about this was delicious - I scarfed down the whole thing! I ordered it with chicken and it was flavorful and tender. Nothing crazy unique, but very tasty.I would come back here and try some of their taco varieties!

First time trying this taco restaurant. I've passed by it so many times and just hadn't had the opportunity to go until today. Small little joint but big on flavor! There are some seating available but very limited. Everyone there was very nice and greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. We placed an order for pick and as soon as I opened the door, oh the smells!!! This is a very authentic Mexican restaurant and their tacos were delish. They are not shy with their meat portions and their homemade salsas are so good I like the red one as it is spicy!

We ordered six tacos with beans and rice. The tacos we ordered were two asada, Al pastor, Baja, shrimp and arrachera. All the tacos were cooked well and very flavorful. The only critique I'd have are on the tortillas. The tortillas even doubled up fell apart/ripped when eating. The tortilla wasn't that flavorful and seemed to be cheap store bought ones. Overall, we will be back.

There's several taco places in this area but this is by far my favorite. They cook everything from scratch, great recipes, and the care is reflected in the fact that despite their tiny size they're always busy. Well worth the wait. Staff is always hustling and pleasant, food is always fresh and delicious. Not a lot of seating inside so prepare to sit outside but don't let that deter you. I've had their tacos, tortas, guacamole, and horchata- I can vouch for all of it. Tacos are top notch. Tortas are stuffed with meat and vegetables. Horchata is always cold and fresh and the guacamole is delicious. Chefs kiss!
