Had la carna avodad plate, which is pork marrinated in red chili sauce, was very good and not overly spicey. Watch out for the salsa as it is very spicey just the smell made my eyes water, so if you like it that way this is the place. Services was quick and had food in no time; however, it was not very busy so hard to say if that is the norm. The sophaphia was lite and fluffy too.
La Placita is great!. Great food and friendly service. Very authentic with wonderful Spanish artwork. The carne adovada plate is excellent and the chile con queso is delicious!
Very good food. I eat here every time I'm in Albuquerque and this time is no different. Very good.
Good for out-of-towners. I like La Placita and I go there occasionally. It's a good place to take people for their first taste of New Mexican atmosphere. For one, it's right on the Old Town Square, plus it is a centuries-old but well-maintained building. The food is standard New Mexican fare but isn't very spicy.
200 Year Old Dinning Room. I love this restaurant!! This food is very good, get the Soppa Pilla Bread. Thats the best and 1st choice and take a few min to make so order it right when you get to you table.
However the Steak Dinner is fantastic, this is New Mexican Dinning so its different than Mexican Food. Still simaliar but nearly the same and very nice place to enjoy.
This is a tourist place so it can get pricy if you stay with the Specials and maybe 1 Drink then your fine but if you want to fill up alot then you'll spend some money but its not everyday you will eat here so just go and have a good time.
Interesting to say when its hot outside its very cool inside without AC the building was made a long time ago with Clay and Mud for that time of construction.
This place in very nice.
Loved the Prickly Pear margarita! My food was wonderful I had the Navajo Taco plate. I chose the beef and red sauce. It was delicious. This is not a corn tortilla taco. The lettuce, tomato, cheese, beef and sauce are served on a piece a puffy fried bread. It was delicious. I will definitely eat here again and next time I try this with chicken and the green sauce. 😁

Handicap friendly, great people and food. 'Post Covid, June 15 and there were plenty of tables - no wait.
Took mom and dad out to eat and its not easy with Pops with the whole dignity thing, being in a chair and all. We took parking around and behind the building so he didn't have to worry about people seeing him get in and out of the van... He was anxious. The staff directed us from front door to side door with Handicap ramp. It was easy to navigate and we parked his chair right up to a table. He instantly felt welcome and back to his joking self. As soon as he had a few chips and salsa, grumpies he forgot he was in his chair. Lol So, yes, handicap friendly...
Dinner was delicious and I want their recipe for Sopapillas. They were almost as good as moms and if she is not reading this then I can say I'd like to have them from time to time instead of the family recipe. :-)
Everything was fresh; chips, tacos, beans, rice, chicken - everything. Excellent green chili sauce. Thank You to the great staff who made our experience 5/5 - Excellent and will be back!

The service was quick even though it was lunch rush. I ordered a Dr. Pepper and shared the La Placita's Original Old Town Special with my mom. Both were good. We sat on the patio which had an equal amount of shade and sun. The bathrooms were clean with multiple stalls. They did not charge extra for water, but will charge 20% gratuity for parties of 10 or more. They brought us a craft of Dr. Pepper for our refills which we appreciated. Our water glasses never were half empty, they kept the refills coming quickly. I would dine here again.
Good chips and salsa. The service was good and I recommend the nachos. Fresh ingredients. The nacho plate could have been bigger, all my chips were falling off but I understand the round plate may be for portion control.
This is one of my favorite Albuquerque restaurants, first came here as a child in early 1970's and never forgot the wonderful Southwest ambiance and charm of this establishment. The restaurant is located in a rustic 300-year old stucco building, and each dining room exudes Southwest history and culture. The food and service are generally very good, and the menu features a variety of New Mexican dishes. There is also a children's menu and more general selection of entrees for those who don't prefer Mexican food. The restaurant is an amazing landmark that you should not miss when visiting Albuquerque.
I forgot to make a review, for your restaurant, after my road trip to Mo and Ill, from Pasadena, Calif, last October. I really, really enjoyed my lunch at the Patio area, where the huge tree grow, indoor. I love it! Being there for 50+ years. Back in the 60's and 70's, my whole family stopped by this fine restaurant. SOPAPILLAS are our specialty, served with honey. Great salsa, guacamole dip, and chips are excellent. I had a wet burrito with Spanish rice, are superb. There two managers are very nice and helpful. Young waiters are friendly. One lady manager was so friendly, even she asked me (because I'm a solo traveler,) if she can take pictures of me standing front of the tree. So I replied yes. What's a sweet lady, that I forgot her name. Thank you, lady manager!
It's as authentic as it comes. Forgot what I had but it was delicious! HUGE portions. Totally shareable.
Delicious, authentic food with lots of flavor. Even the rice and beans had tons of flavor! Atmosphere was great, and you could tell there is lots of history at this restaurant. Service was excellent as well, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the history.
Great prices. Big portions of food. Happy hour Monday to Friday 5 till 7 for $3.50 drafts and $5 margaritas. Spicy Spicy salsa. 2 meals split between 2 people still too much to eat. Highly recommend.
Great service.Navajo Taco plate with green sauce on Native American Indian bread. Delicious. Love the history the hostess told us about. The building itself is historic and the stairs in the room next to front entrance was requested by the daughter to walk down on her wedding day. The woodwork on the stairs and furniture by stairs is amazing.
