Las Placitas

This restaurant has been taking care of us since my 33 yr old daughter was a few months old. Don't expect perfect service, think people and family. You will have wonderful food, best margaritas in town and sometimes a waiter or waitress can be a bit pokey. Just flag them down or another server, they work together, work with them and they will take good care of you. I will never forget how they always brought my daughter's favorite, black beans and rice, double serving, within seconds of sitting down, until the day she shocked us all and said "no thank you, I'll have the puerco al horno". Great people, great food!

Do the easy things right, and the rest will come. Had this place recommended to me by some friends and ended up in the neighborhood so I had to try it for myself. Menu was so large, I had decision paralysis so I just went with what I heard was good. That ended up being two pork pupusas and a chicken tamale. Which only ended up being about $9 plus the beer I ordered to compensate for the hot summer evening. It was a ton of food for only a few bucks. Salsa was decent but not the best I’ve had in DC. Pupusas were savory and fresh. Tamale was sneaky good and super filling. Doesn’t hurt to speak some Spanish here. Mine was really rusty but seemed pretty well received as I can be nervous to use it around town.

sizzling fajitas well seasoned and tender. the house margarita hits hard. The popusas are great appetizer. I'm from Texas and this food competes very well with tex mex food. the guac is awesome. Highly recommend the food and drinks. will try to other margaritas. Service is fast and very attentive. Highly recommend.
