La placita Grocery Store

Food is excellent, but if you don't speak Spanish ordering can be an issue, on the phone. Very reasonable price and authentic Central American food, not Tex-Mex.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant on the Northshore. I am glad I found it. I like all of the food. I haven't had a torta yet, but that's what I'm having next.

I work in the industry myself, so it's hard for me to get to restaurants before they close most of the time, I am from Texas and miss the street tacos and just the authentic street food that is everywhere in Texas, I have tried various places in the area and always seem to be disappointed but not at La placita, first of all I walked in 10min before they closed which I hate doing but I wanted a dang taco! The owner was so cool about it, he walked me through the menu we talked about me missing my Texas tacos, and then I met the women in the back that make the food and the tortillas, again I apologized for ordering so late, they were very nice and the food was AMAZING, best place and first spot that reminded me of being back home in San Antonio/Austin area. I have the cooks in the back an extra tip(because I know how it is!) and the Owner actually recommended some other places for me to try in the area that he said were really good, which is rare and was really cool of him. Definitely try this spot if you have not.

This is my favorite Mexican/ Honduran food spot on the Northshore, hands down. It's a small family owned Latino grocery and restaurant, cranking out homely staples like tortas, tacos, breakfast burritos, menudo, and various caldos. Need some Latino groceries like tortillas, cotija cheese, spices, and takis? Yep, they got that too.The entire staff is incredibly kind; we've never ever had bad service nor a bad meal here. They treat you like guests in their home. For example, their tortillas are handmade and taste amazing, like something you would expect out of grandma's kitchen. I love them, but I'm trying to cut down on carbs. The sweet tortilla-making lady will come out of the kitchen and ask how you like your food and the tortillas. When she sees you've polished off your tortillas, she'll beam and ask if you want more. The correct answer is always "yes, ma'am". Just go with that.Bf always get menudo on Sunday, and it comes out in a large clay bowl and tastes like just like home. Since I'm cutting down carbs, I get a bowl of caldo de res, which is a brothy soup with beef and hearty veggies. I've also had the ham and cheese quesadillas, tacos, and tortas on various visits - all were excellent. I order a side of rice and beans for my picky toddler and he polishes off the whole plate. During the holidays, they make both Mexican and Honduran tamales. They are the best tamales I've had on the Northshore, and I fell into a food coma after eating three of them on Christmas day.My one regret is I don't come here often enough. However, when I make it out there, it's always a treat.

This place is a gem! The Torta's are out of this world. I got mine with pastor. The meat was so flavorful. Chorizo tacos are killer. Real Mexican food. Looking forward to exploring more of the menu. Also the staff is helpful and so nice! You can't beat this quality!

Having lunch here and having a torta de Carne Asada. That's a grilled skirt steak sandwich on a Bolillo bread, refried beans. Onions. Lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, jalapeños and a slap of mayonnaise. Instead of the mayo I prefer Mexican sour cream. Made on the spot. Not precooked. This place is my favorite spot to eat authentic Mexican food. Check out their daily special.

Best carne Asada tortas. Everything on the menu is delicious. Although it's a small grocery store, the restaurant portion is the best kept secret!

Very fresh, tasty Honduran food. Fresh! Great service, friendly people ~ it's such a pleasure to eat there!

First time back in a while excellent lunch of tacos and beans. They now offer out door seating on a nice little patio too.

Food was very good, possibly best mexican/central american on the north shore. Service was slow, portions very large, one entree could feed two. Overall recommend.
