Las Placitas

Excellent food!! Great service!! Awesome dinner. We ordered the pitcher of margaritas during happy hour so it was a great bargain. We ordered the fresh guacamole, pupusas, Steak fajitas, chicken fajitas, and the Tex Mex fajitas (chicken, shrimp and steak), all were great!!!

Yesssss….. Mojarra Frita. My go to place to get fried whole fish for lunch. It’s delicious and (healthy). It comes with shrimps, rice, beans, salad, and stirred veggies. I love Las Placitas. Kiss, - Olan

This place is great! We tried the carne asada, and lomo saltado plates while there and they were amazing. Definitely recommend this to anyone in the area looking for a big lunch or a good dinner.

If I could leave a 0 rating I would !! Came here after work on Friday June 21 around 6pm and had the absolute worst experience in my entire life!! We sat for 33 mins and not one person asked us what drinks we wanted. I addressed a server, manager and bus person that we had not been served. And not one person seemed to care and just told me they are coming. At least by the second time someone could’ve simply taken our drink orders!! What really pissed me off was that another family came in and was immediately served and the second time I addressed someone the family was getting their drinks, by the time we got up and left their orders were placed, and menus removed from the table! The staff was rude and lacked common decency to even make eye contact when I spoke to them. I will never come here again! I have never felt so discriminated, disrespected and humiliated in any establishment. One of the reason we chose this place was due to the raving reviews! Unfortunately, Las Placitas did not live up to their high standard. The Worst! Do not recommend this place.

I hate to give 1 star, but 2 people on lunch break should not wait over 1 hour just for drinks, much less food. We wanted to leave twice. They took the 1 drink off the bill that I got 5 min ago and was not even half. We did not get what we ordered. It's ok. They will have to figure something out. For me, I would not recommend it.

Be careful! Took 40 minutes to get our food after we ordered. Food was cold Rice is hard They advertise one price, then on the bill, they will increase the price They charged 20% tip and told me this is mandatory in Washington (party of 4). Find another spot. Not worth giving these people your business

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.

We love visiting Las Placitas, it always has a busy vibe, customer service is good. The employees are always happy and seem to enjoy being there. The food is delicious and drinks are fantastic. This place gets packed in the evenings so be prepared to wait for a seat if you come later. But it will definitely be worth the wait.
