Mexican restaurant · East Riverdale

"A slight detour off Kenilworth Avenue to Edmonston Road takes you to La Placita. Look for the mariachi figurines mounted to the roof. Inside the space moves with the frenetic energy of Mexico City. As you walk in, there’s an elote and horchata station to your right, and a counter to order tacos to your right. There are about a dozen different varieties to chose from. The top three tacos to try are the beef tongue (lengua), tripe (tripa), and pork cheek (cachete de cerdo). Diner be warned: Usually, the line snakes into the parking lot at peak lunch hour." - Tim Ebner
