La Placita Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I went to La Placita restaurant tonight for authentic Mexican, and I really enjoyed the food and my experience there. The lady behind the counter, Rosalina, was so friendly and helpful. I ordered a bowl of their chicken soup, which was huge, and 4 caritas tacos special. The chicken soup was excellent... so flavorful and delicious. The chicken was "fall off the bone" tender, the potato and zucchini was melted in your mouth, and all the herbs, like cilantro and spices, perfectly balanced, made the soup super homey. It was like a Mexican grandmother made it for their grandchild, with much quality ingredients and love. It was so good. The carnitas tacos were wonderful, too!

The food at this place is delicious. It has a homemade mexican flavor to its food and the prices are very good. I buy a big asada burrito with all the toppings for $5.99 and it's really delicious. ( I use to buy my small 10$ super burritos at alfredos and 10$ dried burritos at Sinaloa across the street, never again. ) the 4 tacos and soda for 4.99 are filling and delicious. And the asada sopes for 2.99 are also big and delicious. I've taken my friends and neighbors and everyone loves the homemade flavors the food has at La Placitas.
