We are never let down here. The food is fresh and the flavors are perfect. This is the only authentic Mexican restaurant we ever visit! I recommend this place over any Mexican restaurant in town.
Best mexican in the valley. If i close my eyes its like i am in my grandmas kitchen. If you follow the recipe on the
box of old elpaso shells, this place may not be for you. :)
Great cheap food. One of the greatest cheap eats in the Valley. Food is amazing. This is definitely not American Mex food, but rather authentic. My favorite is the steak burrito. The tacos are also excellent. Few Mexican places at any price rival this place, and the salsas push it over the top. Red and green salsas with a lot of flavor and tons of kick. (Note: As of Sept. 2012 this has an 89% rating, but based on food the rating is more like a 100. Everyone has only praise for the food. Only negatives are on the setting, which is basically a tiny deli in center city Atown. I personally think that adds to the charm.)
Steak Tacos. They are the most authentic I have found that is not 10 miles from the border of Mexico. They are well made with chorizo dipped tortilla, tons of fresh cilantro, and onions. Thrown in is a slice of lime and some great green salsa. I usually buy 2. The house special is two tacos and rice and beans. Great meal every time. These are not like the Americanized tacos you are familiar with. So take a trip down to Mexico and buy two tacos here in Allentown.
Wow! This place is great! I never had a sope before, but I'll b coming back for more!
Is a great deli and the food is very good give a try
This place is undoubtedly the best Mexican in the valley. Unfortunately it's basically a deli but if you are looking for take out take the drive. Soon!
Best in the Lehigh Valley!!!. I moved here 7 years ago from San Diego and immediately began my quest for authentic Mexican food.
After 7 years of one let down after the other, I found La Placita!
Everything is the best! My only complaint is that the sopes aren't like my grandma makes them. But they are still pretty delicious!
Best mexican in the valley. There is no doubt that, eat-in or take-out, a meal from la placita represents the best mexican food in the lehigh valley. my family eats there every friday, since it is only a short walk from our house. Central mexican cuisine at its finest, with pozole on the weekends, and great barbacoa de chivo and carnitas tacos. good tamales and enchiladas as well. when you order tacos, remember to get the red picante on the side to go with your limones.

...this is the place to go to charm your friends with some of the most authentic Mexican in the Lehigh Valley.
me and my boyfriend absolutely love going here. the prices are reasonable and the food is so delicious. there’s an assortment of drinks that you can get as well and seating inside. 10/10 recommend for dates or dinner/lunch <3
Absolutely love this little taco spot it's pricey but worth it so if you haven't checked out this Taco spot I suggest you get up and get dressed and go before it closes lol enjoy it's really good food
Love this restaurant been going there like for 15 years since they one and I recommend it food is delicious 🤤😋
1st time coming here and OMG😳 we loved it the price is right, it tasted authentic the flavors were poppin the meat, chicken, and pork was juicy and thr bread they used as well was buttery plus the tortillas #YASSSS was fresh most definitely returning.🙌🔥👊💥😎
Its little secret finds like these that warm my soul and belly. A friend put me on to placita when I moved back from NC. Lived in Allentown 20+ years and never decided to stop in until last summer. Im thankful I did because this is authentic food right here. For 10 bucks you get a burrito that can feed you twice! Fresh ingredients and pure fruit juices that are divine. They only take cash but its worth the ATM visit I promise you.
My absolute favorite taco spot. I have yet to find steak tacos better than here! Loved them since I was a child! ❤️
Excellent food and excellent service!! Owners make you feel like you're right at home. Will definitely come back!
