Taqueria La Placita

It's a hole on the wall , but it's so good! No wonder it's always full but people are in and out all day. Definitely worth the little wait.

Muy mal servicio. Me encantaría que un gerente o dueño viera esto. E intentado en dos veces comprar chirones y las personas que están ahí son arrogantes.La primera ves espere 20 minutos y nadie me ayudó. Segunda ves q pase la respuesta fue no funciona para pagar con targeta. Espero q la economía no baje en los productos años y estas personas no pierdan su trabajo.

This place is amazing. I don't know if I should call it a hidden gem because it's very busy Friday through Sunday. Food has always been great. I've been going for the last 6 years and the service and flavor is just as good as the first visit.

Too bad i went the week before Cinco de Mayo. I may just go back. In my opinion, these are the best tacos in the area. Food: They focus is on the meat which is seasoned very well, and is the star of the show. They have various meat options. All tacos are served with onion and cilantro. On the side you receive limes radish and cucumbers. The only thing that would make this experience even better would be home made tortillas. We got the following tacos: -Tripa (inner guts) 6.5/10. It's seasoned well and has a smooth texture, but after a few bites i knew what i was eating. -Al pastor (spiced pork) 6/10. Decent flavor but not stand out. -Chorizo (sausage) 7/10. Very solid and safe choice.-Cecina (salt beef) 8/10. I like salty so i liked this but it was very salty. -Cabeza (meat head) 10/10. My friend wanted to try and I'm glad we did. This meat is seasoned well, it has little fatty bits, and is tender. Sooo good. -Lengua (tongue) 10/10z We already know these are our favorite. The meat is just so tender, it melts in your mouth.Though we didn't rate each taco 10/10, all the tacos were tasty and it was so fun to try all the different flavors. Our favorite: lengua (tongue) and cabeza (meat head)We also enjoyed some elote that was good. Nice accompaniment to the tacos. 7/10.Recommendation: ask them so single wrap your tacos. Two tortillas takes away from the flavor of the meat in my opinioCustomer service: After you order your food, you can take a seat. When your food is ready, the servers will call out your number (in Spanish so pay attention), and you just wave them down. They bring your food, salsas (green salsa, red salsa, and pickled onions and peppers. They kept checking in us to see if we needed anything. The salsas are delicious. 9/10Ambiance: this feels like a real authentic experience. They have a tent set up with outdoor seating. You kinda feel like you're in Mexico. I loved it. Overall: I'll be back! 10/10

Holy moly this place is legit. Amazing street tacos. Inside and outside seating. Next to a market and ice cream. Go here. You won't be sad. A minor amount of Spanish will get you far here. Bring cash.

I have been coming here for decades this is one of my favorite AUTHENTIC taco spots in the entire DMV, after eating all over the DMV in restaurants and food trucks this is the BEST when it comes to service and quality. My favorite tacos are the chicken and chorizoTacos I like them well done with extra veggies. I also come here Atleast once's a month to purchase fresh CHICHARON which is made on weekend by noon you'll love the fresh and Crispy taste. At the same location there's a separate store that sells Mexican corn which is my favorite always fresh you can order it with all the toppings or alone. At the same location there's desserts like Mexican jello, fresh squeezed juices, Mexican Candy and much more. During summer there's a section that sell Mexican slushees made to perfection all the flavors & toppings. The restaurant is so affordable that you can bring your entire family, thinking of having parties this is the best spot for that. I order grays of tacos to go. If you live in the area make sure to stop by you won't regret it! Outdoor and indoor seating!!

Love this place it's One of my favorites places on edmonston Rd The taco's delicious And chicharron yummy

I had heard a lot of wonderful things from this place so I was truly surprised when I came in for the first time . I ordered 3 tacos al pastor and 3 carnitas, the carnitas is good the Al pastor isn't authentic definitely not flavorful not enough seasoning and they give little to none lime for all the orders which is honestly a rip off . I only got two fourths of a lime for all my tacos . Alittle common sense wouldn't hurt . And not to mention the lady's who take your order are tired and want to be there less then you do . I ordered a water 5$ from the lady in front of where you order tacos in the same restaurant is plácita and she denied my dollar coins because she " didn't know what they were " . Yeah well it amazes me to know she doesn't know dollar currency in AMERICA. All in all it was a mid to ok experience I'll give this place a 2 star rating. This might actually be the first place where there ISNT Mexicans cooking the food .

I don't know how this place averages 4 stars, except for bogus reviews and or home court bias. I have been craving some taquitos and tacos and ultimately ended up here.The taquitos (they call it flautas) were crisp and the chicken meat inside was like cardboard. An order of 4 pieces cost $11.50. I don't know how these were served but I had half of one and thought the chicken was worse than beef jerky 2 years past the expiration date. Served one to my dog and he only ate half of it too. Unpalatable. Pork belly tacos had a chewey texture that didn't resemble the chicharones with meat on the counter. It was a weird texture, and I ended up throwing them away.The carnitas meat also had a weird texture and that I ended up feeding to the dogs.I will never come back here again and the owner needs to have a chancla thrown at the back of their head.Gross.

Great place! You can't be a vegetarian and judge a taqueríathat serves pork lips and cheeks, and delicious beef tongue - there are other places vegetarians and vegans can choose to go. Their tacos and tortas are the real deal! So truly Mexican, nopales (cactus) and chicharrones - so not Taco Hell... And their homemade sauces are exquisite!
