This is a very average Mexican place. The atmosphere is nice, dining room clean and comfortable. Good service always, this time from Pedro. Chile rellenos were good, but the beef filling was extremely dry. Rice and beans were fresh and tasty. My friend really likes the potato burritos.

We ate here last year and figured May 5th may be too crowded 'cause the food then was soooo good. They did not disappoint the day after. I ordered something that was served in a cut-out pineapple and it was delicious! I was a little disappointed in the margaritas though. I am not a big drinker so I can usually tell if they're "overdone" or not. This one did not seem to have very much tequila in it at all, but if you want Shirley Temple margarita it was good for that. I'd still give this place high marks for the quality of their food and the amount of choices on their menu.

We recently visited this location of Plaza Mexico several times. Each time the food was amazing and the service was impeccable. My friend loved the potato burritos, and I especially enjoyed the chiles rellenos and chicken quesadillas. The dining room is clean and comfortable but can be crowded...because their food is amazing.
