Reviews of La Plaza Mexican Cuisine (Restaurant)

Jonathan P

Still excellent. The black bean chimichangas are always great - as is the service. We are lucky to have this place in the neighborhood. Plus, the free tequila shots with the check always goes down very smooth. Try the guacamole appetizer as the home made fried tortilla chips are a treat.

Brianne Deerwester

Always a delicious meal and great service at La Plaza. It's also nice that the owner remembers us and greets us when we see him.

Esteban Herrera

Service was bad the food was tasteless.. Will not be coming back. Again their service is the worst stay away.

Sonia Ramirez

very nice and comfortable atmosphere

Anna Przebinda

Truly odd experience. We were given free shots because, if we heard correctly, we were a party of one woman and two men...?? Idk try it if you want shots.

Tommy

ordered delivery. food showed up three hours late and Ice cold. definitely the last time I eat here

Erin Robinson

Pros: good margaritas Cons: 1) rude, inattentive service 2) untruthful about menu descriptions 3) food was mediocre at best 4) "couldn't" split checks 5) stole from everyone who paid with card* I planned to never return based on Cons #1-4, but #5 is what encouraged this terrible review. *upon return to discuss the overcharge. I was told I owed them $95 because of tax. (Tax was only $45 so whether they were telling us the truth or not, their math doesn't add up.) At oje point in the conversation, I asked, "wouldn't it be easier to split checks?" He said "that's too much work." I said "well wouldn't that be easier than having customers return angry about an over charge?" He then tells me to never return and continues to interrupt me when I try to discuss it with him.

This restaurant should get no stars!! I had food delivered and they left out 1/2 of my order!! I called twice and the owner hung up on me both times!! The food I did get was not even good Mexican food!! Don’t have them deliver and don’t bother to eat there!! Go somewhere good like the CACTUS CANTINA!!

Nik Joy

The service and food were great. I don't usually like white sangria but I liked it here. The skirt steak was incredibly tender.

Mary Holder

Food was very good!

Katherine Turner

It's a favorite!

Bernadette Jannusch

Just found out how racist this place is. Friends went to eat and where refused service, someone said they where closed but it was apparently open. This was at about 6:30 pm tonight 1/21/17

Michael McDonald

Hemi Hunt

The food is delicious! I highly recommend the lobster and shrimp special. The service was outstanding. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. I absolutely love this restaurant!

Rylee Strickland

Me and my friend Andrea went in there the other day and it was an amazing experience! We’re definitely returning because our waiter “eddy” we think his name was, was a cutie and the food was amazing. So eddy if your seeing this you should add up on snap :)... Snap: @ryleestrickland insta: luvryy Snap: @andreatho1 insta: andrea_medina

My favorite Mexican in DC. Great for office groups and for families. Or for solo dining.

Ann Van Leuven

The food is always great at LA Plaza. They will accommodate a couple dining or a group of diners. Whenever friends or family visit we always have lunch or dinner at LA Plaza. I retired a few years ago so when my buddies come to see me we get together at La Plaza and have the best Margaritas in town. Always a fun place to go.

Came here with my family for the 1st time today. It will be my last time coming here. Service is awful. My dad asked for napkins, for the family, the guy only brought 4 pieces of napkins. They brought the tacos and found the meat still pink on the inside. We was the 2nd customer to arrived and the server was attending quicker to the other customers, that arrived way later. I dont recommend this place to anyone. My brother in law told the manager about the service, he acted like he didn't care.

DeRon Turner

Great food atmosphere and service. Can't ask for more. My wife and kids love this place.

keyora casari

I got home and my "tacos" had fell apart. I had to season them myself because they had absolutely no taste. My pork pupusa was hard and unedible so I threw it out. $21 down the drain!!!! Never will eat here again.

Neftaly Smith

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended.

Bishop Davis

Their fajitas are amazing and they have great customer service

Helen Rush Anaya

One of my favorite go to restaurants on the Hill. I have been eating here since it opened and am never disappointed by the food I get. Highly recommend for both a big family dinner or intimate date night.

Lawrence Gaulkin

The best sangria anywhere. Sopa de Rio Grande beats the best boullibase and I've had French, NYC, San Francisco cioppino, and dozens of others. You will not regret going here.

nicole hamm

Good food and tequila

Antoinette Taylor

Good music, service, and drinks. The food came in a timely fashion and the drinks was amazing. As well there were several vegetarian dishes.

tony marcell Brown

Mexican of choice in DC

Evelyn Mendoza

La comida es deliciosa! Las mejores margaritas de capitol hill recomendado100%

Darius Yancey

Perfect serving sizes, food was prepared and served quickly and was so delicious. Seating didn't take long either. The staff members were very efficient and attentive even close to closing time. I would highly recommend making this a stop when you are in the area. I ate the food too quickly to take pictures, sorry about that lol.

David H

IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD.. THE ARE OVER PRIZE THE FOOD IS NOT THE BEST.. I WAITED ALMOST AN HOUR FOR THE SERVER TO REFILL MY SODA AND NEVER GOT A REFILL. WILL NOT BE COMING BACK TO THIS RESTAURANT PLEASE TAKE MY ADVISE AND STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. A REALLY BAD EXPERIENCE.. AND BAD SERVICE..

Jacqueline Guerrero

Down in Washington DC for a visit to celebrate my dad's birthday and decided to eat there. We been walk all day and just want to have a nice decent meal. Our group 14 people. Terrible mistake, service was awful. Waiters were slow and our food order took forever to come out. My husband found a hair in his rice, informed the owner and he just ask how long the hair was. Really! Apparently he doesn't care about the customers. No discount or apologies. We spent over $250. Food wasn't worth it. Food wasn't good. McDonald would've have been a better place to eat. I don't recommend this restaurant all.

Abdul Kareem Abdullah

Tasty

Nicholas Tabori

Great food, awesome staff, wonderful patrons, and excellent prices.

J Kinz

Service was slow and grilled chicken in the burrito was burned, but overall great flavors

Michelle Kofoed

Fantastic food, great service!

Sharon Clark-Napolitano

Prices have risen from a $15 meal now $27 for same. Will now go elsewhere.

Larry Frankel

Excellent fair priced cuisine

Richard Walker

Excellent overall experience. Friendly and attentive / respectful staff. Almost never a wait for a table, since there is plenty of room. Dining outside on Pennsylvania Ave. SE (600 block) is awesome in the spring and cooler summer days. The food -- wow, always top notch. My favorite are the fajitas supremas and the mar y tiera (shrimp and steak, with a delicious sauce and steamed broccoli). Try the margaritas as well... I hear they are the best in DC. When in town I always try to visit if at all possible, with my DC posse.

Lester Martin

Great food

Colin Laverty

DEJUAN DAVIS

Very accommodating, great chicken burrito plate.

Nick Henderson

Lovin that chicken chimichanga

Savanah Pimentel

Great food, awesome staff! i like the service

Clare Bremer

The food was amazing, so were the margaritas. We will definitely be back

Monique Stuart

This place is amazing! Been coming here for over a decade. Best Mexican food in the District. Great people run & own it. Big day planned for May 25th with a mariachi band, so definitely a good day to check out out. I don't know what they do to the meat that they put in the quesadilla, but it melts in your mouth. Highly recommend!!!

Phillip Sheridan

It's one of our favorites. Great food and the service is personal. Tacos a la brasa con fundido is my wife's favorite and the fajitas are mine.

Uhma Merlos

La Plaza Mexican & Salvadorian Cuisine is a great fusion , I thinks this place is awesome . The decorations inside are everything. It almost feels like your eating at a mexican fiesta.

Katelyn Osborne

The food was good! I had the vegetable fajitas and the mango margarita. The customer service was excellent as well.

Kiki smith

I loved it. I'm upset I'd forgotten to take a pick but the food was amazing and authentic. Can't wait to visit again and bring my Mom

Tony Harrell

This place is always amazing. I love coming by, the owner is almost always there and talks to 80% of the guests. A shot of tequila with my bill never hurts as well.

David Rosenberg

Best fajitas in DC. The chips and salad could be better though.

Haotian Xu

Truly the best refried beans I've ever had. Their seafood chimicangas are incredible and so are the always reliable steak fajitas! They are even open on Christmas day.

Rosemont Inn Bed & Breakfast

Low-key restaurant with excellent food. We took the Metro out of the National Mall area to eat in this part of the city. There were very few people in the place when we were there for lunch but the service was attentive, although slow. We didn't mind since we were visiting at a leisurely pace but maybe not the best choice if you are in a hurry. They also do take out orders and several people came in to pick up food while we were there.

Nicholas Arent

Every time I have been here the service is awful. I usually go with a big group of people from work and always request to pay for my food and drinks separately up front when I order. I have always tipped well and thank the staff multiple times for the convienence of letting me pay for my food separately. Despite trying hard to an easy customer and demonstrate my appreciation, the staff flat out ignore me when I tell them thank you and give me dirty looks every time I come in. After four times of this type of service I have to say that I will no longer frequent this establishment which is truly a shame because the food and margaritas are so good.

Mik Wel

This place is amazing and I really enjoyed all the types of food.

Jordan Harris

Friendly guys, pretty good atmosphere, food is ok. Salsa has a little too much onion.

David Pqu

Great food, awesome staff! i like the service

Brian Kelley

After searching everywhere in Capitol Hill and Eastern Market for Piña Coladas to no avail, La Plaza delivered! And they're generous proportions, and delicious! Can't speak for the food but the drinks seem on point!

Brian Kerkhoven

Dive mexican restaurant with amazing food and even better margaritas.

OSCAR HERNANDEZ

james malone

Great for margaritas, I didn't eat anything, the service was a little slow at times.

Margaret McGowen

The food was good but the service very slow for what was an uncrowded Sunday afternoon. My tamale and pupusa were terrific but we had to wait a long time (almost an hour) for our food.

Shekanda Wright

Drove an hour and wasnt open ...was trying to ask staff memember if there were other locations he was very rude

Mona Butterfield

Lovely fish tacos, steak, shrimp, superb paella. Well worth visit. Cozy comfortable service. Just love Henry and his family. See you soon. Lovely sangria, I like white sangria which Henry makes very well.

Simone Jennings

Delightful Salvadorian cuisine as well as wonderful family and friendly atmosphere

Tyra

Service was good. Atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable. Food delicious! I'll be back..

Way way overpriced, $6.50 beer 7.50 queso etc.. over priced, horrible service. Food barely more than microwaveable!! Awe fil experience.

Chef Jorge Lopez

Some great Margaritas service always toppings g off your drink as they walk by and making sure that your water glass is full and plates cleaned off. Food is good fresh and hot great flavor.
