Food was so good I forgot to post until I was halfway done. Price is reasonable, food is fresh and authentic. I now know what a quesadilla should taste like ! It was my favoriteReturned a week later and food is still amazing. See updated photos

Had a Chicken quesadilla with queso fresco and avocado inside. Wow so good. Great portion size and had 3 tacos sorry no picture couldnt wait lol all made fresh. Check them out worth the stop.

Amazing food! The hot sauce is incredible. I loved all the spices, and dried peppers sold here too!

Food is authentic, delicious and fresh! Fabulous experience! We will definitely be back.

This place so freaking good. It is very small so there is usually a wait (you can call ahead to place an order) but it is worth it. Everything is so fresh and the best Mexican food Ive had since I left Arizona.

Best mexican food in town. Better than la boca, salsa 3s, all of em. Best burrito I have had in a long time. The tacos are amazing. They are very nice, super fast, and worth every penny. We go about once a week at this point!

Hidden little gem with great food and fair prices. Definitely worth trying!

This place is wonderful. The food is fresh and very tasty. Its like you made it in your own kitchen! But much better than I could do! Lol, really worth a visit.

This is easily the best Mexican I’ve ever had. If you want authentic Mexican food cooked with fresh ingredients this is the place to go. It’s a small Mother and daughter operation. The owners are just as wonderful as the food. Don’t expect a high end sit down joint with margaritas. This is small, take out only, quality food.

Unreal. Absolutely unreal. Just try it for yourself. That’s all I have to say

The. Most. Delicious. Mexican. food. In Connecticut. So fresh, so yummy. Everything is homemade. Please go get tacos here. You will not be disappointed.

A truthful Mexican cuisine experience, weve been in several Mexican restaurants, but this one doesnt have any to envy them.

The food is great, very authentic. Only take out.

Best authentic Mexican Ive had this far yet to be disappointed by any entree or dessert. The owner is very nice and informative about everything on the menu.

Love love love the food hereand the people who own the place are very nice and very sweet I love going here for a quick bite to eat its fresh its good definitely 👌😊👌😋

It was my first time trying after hearing good things from a friend. I got 3 chicken tacos & 3 shrimp tacos, with a side of rice. Did not disappoint at all!!! Very good food!! Awesome little spot that could be overlooked. Deff give it a try!

Best Mexican food around! The only way you will get better Mexican food is to go to Mexico.La Placita is a weekly destination for the family. Staff is very friendly and willing to go the extra mile.Highly recommend La Placita.

The food is amazing! Ive driven past this place so many times going home from work and am so glad I pulled the trigger today and went in. Definitely a shining diamond. Food was mad fresh and I have been searching all over for great carnitas and finally found!!!

The food was delicious & everything was fresh & homemade. Definitely recommend if anyone wants some REAL Mexican food. Super sweet people working there and the prices were reasonable

Fresh tacos, hand made tortillas. Very good food.

We have been to this place at least 3 times now. They have great food I love their steak quesadilla are my favorite we just got a big order from them today and it was very very good. Thank you for the amazing food.

The Burrito was amazing, fantastic taste and quality.

Great food, fair prices and run by a super nice family

A humble restaurant and grocery store with exceptionally well made burritos! Amongst the best Mexican food I’ve had in Connecticut. Large serving sizes and very reasonable prices. If you’re in the area, definitely grab a bite

You can’t find better tacos anywhere. These are made from fresh masa, pressed, and cooked right there. A bit softer than what you get at the store or any other place. Amazing Al pastor. Enjoyed the chicken and beef as well. The owners daughter was very sweet and a pleasure to talk to.

Phenomenal! Havent had anything close to it since I moved from California. Very authentic because its the real deal. Hope they just keep doing what they are doing because its perfect. Try the flan, you wont regret it.

Awesome tacos! Delicious, simple. home made tortilla make a big difference.

Ordered tacos and sopes with 4 other friends and waited an hour

I has a burrito and it was excellent! Cant wait to try it again!

Always has great food whenever ordered

Its hands down the best Mexican taqueria Ive found. Homemade tortillas are always. Plus!!

They were out of everything we asked for. We had to go else where for food. They only had a few things available and said a truck wouldnt be in for a few days.

La Placita has the best mexican food in Middletown. Their tacos and burritos take your taste buds back to Mexico. This is definelty a hidden gem and a worth the visit if you want to eat real Mexican food. Lisette and Ines are so kind and the business really values their customers.

Wow! Terrific food! Will be going back again for sure!

One of the best steak burritos I have ever had. The people are really friendly and nice. I have been here a few times now and it was excellent every time.

Excellent take out food. Not a sit down resteraunt really but do have some tables and chairs. You feel like someone went in their kitchen and made home made food for you...which is close to what happens. FRESH everything and very friendly employees.

Based on reviews seen here, I ordered the steak burrito. Excellent! Nice place, fast friendly service, crazy good food.

Food is amazing the ladies are warm and professional. The food is consistent in its taste and quality.
