I went here for lunch today and ordered the chimichanga de carne (see picture). It was delicious! The rice was a miss though. And the chips and salsa were nothing special. The service was pretty slow.…

Las Placitas can be hit or miss for me ... and I wouldn't give them more than 3.5 stars at their best moments. The service is SLOW and the food is barely borderline OK. I don't care if they can seat…

Have you ever paid to eat vomit? I have not either until I ate here. I am very surprised by all the positive reviews. This place is GROSS. Well, at least what we ordered was. I got the chili…

I met up with a friend for lunch there on the first warm spring day in May. We ate outside. I ordered El Tipico. Service was good, the food was also tasty.

Walking in with a party of 8 at dinner time might be a problem for some, not for Las Placitas! They accommodated us and ensured we had our drinks and tasty chips and the BEST salsa I have ever had.…

Las Placitas is the restaurant we choose when we've got out-of-town visitors in the mood for Mexican food. The mix of traditional Mexican, Tex-Mex, and Salvadoran food makes for a nice set of choices.…

The best Salvadorian food I've ever eaten! Even though it was my first time, I gave the menu a good test. I ordered the mussels appetizer, a shrimp appetizer and two pork and cheese pupusas. A la…

Las Placitas is pretty much the exact same restaurant as La Lomita, La Lomita Dos, La Loma, La Plaza, and La Paraiso (on 14th). I sometimes wonder if there is a salvadoran food distribution company…

This cute stop in Eastern Market was a delicious and welcome refuge from the cold last weekend. It may not look like much from the outside, but that's only a sign that it's got great food inside,…

I have to agree with Kate H.: the burritos are addictive. In particular, I recommend the beef burrito plate - the beef was so tender. Everyone at our table was happy with their selection. The service…

One of the better restaurants on the Hill. The puerco al horno is to DIE for, but you'd be hard pressed to go wrong here. There's no better Mexican/El Salvadoran/Latin American place on the Hill or in the SE.
