Tlaquepaque Restaurant

Ordered 4 dozen tamales for a xmas party. Placed my order and paid the week prior. Went to pick them up and they were hot and ready to go. I also ordered a half tray of rice and beans. There's a little parking lot across the street for this restaurant so it made this pick up super easy. The restaurant it self is cute, clean and each time i went there was a handful of people sitting eating. So back to the Xmas party- multiple people loved them and asked where I bought them

3.5-4 starsFood Temperature: 3 starsFlavors: 4 starsService: 4 starsEnchilada Trio $17.5A sampler of our three most popular enchiladas (Mole, Suiza & Traditional) stuffed with chicken and topped with crema mexicana (sour cream) Enchiladas Suizas $16.5Two (2) chicken enchiladas in a creamy green tomatillo sauce topped with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, crema mexicana (sour cream) & Mexican cotija cheese Truth be told, we were debating between Tlaquepaque and another restaurant in Old Town Placentia but the other restaurant just happened to not be open at "said" times so we headed on over to Tlaquepaque - even despite calling them to ask if they were open (the door was locked). Tlaquepaque was open at the posted times and we were promptly greeted and seated minutes within stepping into the restaurant. Chips and salsa were brought along with the menus, just wish that we had a small plate or something to catch the crumbs and salsa (instead of the table).The plates were hot (which I was forewarned about), but the temperature of my food (Enchilada Trio) did not match the temperature of the food. I felt the food (2 separate plates) were a little above lukewarm at best, which was disappointing. When I order hot food, I at least expect "hot" food, maybe even some steam.Their menu was simple, but had many great dishes. We agreed we would come back but I hope that the temperature of the food is better next time. Service was good, and the restaurant was very clean. We loved the decor on the inside of the spacious restaurant.

Initially went to another place up the street to have lunch but there was a 15 minute wait. I had heard of this place so we walked to the corner to try it out.We walked in and were greeted by the owner, I believe. A very sweet woman who led us to our table and immediately took our drink order. A server arrived shortly thereafter with our drink order. So far so good.I thought the food was really good. I had a traditional combo plate of a hard shelled chicken taco, a cheese enchilada, and rice and beans. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite of my plate, including the rice, which I normally don't enjoy at other places.My girlfriend's daughter had the Quesabirria Tacos and absolutely loved them. She was kind enough to share one of the three with me and I was regretting not ordering it.Definitely coming back to try other dishes, as well as pick us some tamales.

Tlaquepaque is located on the corner of Bradford and Santa Fe in Old Town Placentia. There's limited street parking, but they do have a private parking lot directly across the street. As soon as step inside you know you're in for a treat. From the terracotta-tiled floors to the Mexican themed wall decor AND the prompt, warm greeting from the staff, it's like you just stopped by a friend's house for some good eats and a nice visit. With lots of tempting choices on the menu, we ordered the combo plate ( chile relleno, cheese enchilada, and crispy beef taco) and the enchiladas suizas. My combo plate was excellent! The chile relleno came on its own plate, which was perfect because the enchilada and the taco were very filling. The enchilada was perfectly filled and the sauce was nicely seasoned. The taco shell was nice and crispy, the beef was moist, and the lettuce was crisp and refreshing. I took the chile relleno to go, and it was also delicious~the cheese was creamy and has a beautiful pull. My friend's plate had a nice presentation and she really enjoyed it. I can't finish the review without mentioning the chips and salsa. Nothing is more disappointing than sub-par chips and salsa. This is not the case here at Tlaquepaque. The chips are light and crispy and the salsa has just the right amount of heat. Definitely one of my top 2 favorite Mexican restaurants!

Incredible Sunday brunch service w/ champagne and live music at about 50 bucks per person - we spent about 2hrs here enjoying the excellent variety of Mexican banquet classics, stewed and grilled meats, breakfast classics, fresh aguas, and desserts. Arguably the very best Chile Colorado I've tasted at a restaurant : fall apart soft, aromatic, delicious. Located in old town Placentia near the railway, I cannot recommend the Sunday brunch here enough. 5 big stars.

The brunch is awesome! Cant wait to go back. Really enjoyed all the food. I loved the tacos, the chile verde is my favorite. Great live music from the mariachi band. Very talented group. The champagne included in the brunch is pretty good, I didn't get an instant hangover like some other champagne brunch booze. Definitely recommend trying it!

I ordered from this establishment a few months ago for a summit that I hosted and everyone enjoyed the food. The staff quickly accommodated our requests and pickup was seamless. The enchiladas, guacamole, salsa and rice was delicious and filling. I will definitely cater from here in the future and recommend others to do so as well. Raul, the manager was also kind enough to itemize a receipt for me. 10/10 customer service.

We had dinner here for my best girlfriend's birthday on Sunday, January 12, 2025. The food was delicious; the margaritas were great; and the service was fantastic! The restaurant was nicely decorated with wonderful ambience. They made us feel very special! Can't wait to go back! Muchas Gracias!!!

Tlaquepaque is the most delicious restaurant I have been to. The food is extremely fresh and they serve big portions. The menu has a wide variety of tasty options and my favorite dish is the surf and turf. The service is wonderful and the price is great as well. I love coming here!

Service was quick! Surprised this place isn't more busy on a Friday night. Best rib eye tacos ever!! Will be returning.
