A charming little spot with a cozy atmosphere. Definitely recommend making a reservation to avoid a long wait. I had the spicy margarita and nachos—both were absolutely delicious. The portion was moderate, so it’s not really a shareable place unless you order a few additional dishes. Overall, a great experience!

Fantastic experience at Placo’s Tacos!! Our waiter was so kind and helpful and she was very patient and attentive when taking our orders and delivering our food. The food and drinks were also great - the mezcalita with tamarind was very well balanced, the nachos were LOADED, and the tacos were delicious - highly recommend their specialty taco the cochinita pork taco. Can’t wait to go back in the warmer months when the patio is open!
