Reviews For Plaza Mexico Restaurant & Bar

I went with some friends and we had an amazing time! We tried the strawberry, coconut, and mango habanero margaritas, and each one was so yummy and flavorful. But the best part was the Cantartios, it’s like a grapefruit margarita, super unique and really cool! We also shared an entree, and it was a huge portion for such a great price. The place was super clean, and the staff was so warm and friendly. Definitely a must-try spot! Will be back soon with the hubby.

I started with a michelada with Pacifico beer made by the owner it was amazing the taste and the portion of this michelada are something I was very pleased. They start you off with chips/ salsas both being good. To dine I had a whole chicken the taste of this chicken is very original, has a spicy touch but isn’t spicy the blend flavors is ideal for the family it came with salad , pinto beans, rice very well recommended! Must try. This restaurant gives the Mexican vibe with his art on the walls of all our Mexican music legends. I like the atmosphere.

I have been here twice now recently. First time was on Saturday night for drinks and apps at bar. The place was lively and lots of fun with dj starting at 1030pm. The second time was for dinner during the week. The passionfruit margarita was absolutely delicious. The guacamole and chips were perfect. For dinner I had the Mexican tacos, rice and beans . 100% recommend this place and can't wait to go back again!

chicken fajitas were amazing, especially as take out bc that’s hard to pull off, great price for the portions. The chicken is good quality, smokey taste and perfectly cooked so next time getting the charcoal chicken because the strips in the fajitas were so tasty. it’s also very cute inside, would make a really nice date night

I had a great night with my boyfriend after a busy day at work. The drinks are good and beautifully presented, but they should have added a little more alcohol. The food was delicious and flavorful. Oh my goodness, you have to try it! Our server was friendly, but a little slow. All in all, I recommend this place and will definitely be back! Good experience!!!!
