Great food, beans and rice are my son's favorite. The salsa is like eating fire, but tastes really good, so you have to take the pain with the pleasure. I love that they put onions in the cheese enchiladas (they ask if you want them, in case that's not your thing). And the chicken taco is wonderful.
This used to be our go to when we lived in this side of town. We were in the neighborhood so we stopped in for lunch. The service was pleasant and fast. Our food came out hot and ready to be devoured. It's clean and very well maintained.
Greatest service you will ever receive, no joke. From the moment we walked in, the hostess was very welcoming and sweet. Entire staff is pleasant, efficient, fast, and consistently on top of your needs. They're quick to refill your endless chips and salsa, drinks, and bus your table. Best Mexican food in this area. Enjoyed the Chile Verde and Chile Colorado burritos. Tender, flavorful meat swimming in their delectable sauces. La Placita is a family-owned, local gem for decades.
Food is very authentic, caution HOT PLATE. Your food stays very hot because of the hot plate. Huge portions, very yummy, excellent service. Your glass never gets empty. They have lots of staff that get the food out to you quickly. All of their food is excellent.

La Placita is long standing neighborhood restaurant in Orangevale. For the past 34 years, they have been serving up basic, simple, delicious Mexican food. The kind that was popularized in the States in the 1970s. The food and the place is not trendy nor fru fru fancy. The dishes are old school, comfort at prices at reasonable prices. The customer service is phenomenal. Every time I dine here, which is not that frequent , I am welcomed like a long lost friend. I feel very at ease and welcomed here. The clientele is diverse. This place has an easy going family friendly local neighborhood vibe. Again this place is not much to look at from the outside nor the inside. The shopping strip looks sketch but I have had no issues. The inside is basic old school table and booths. Dining room is one big open room with tables set close to each other. Not really conducive for privacy. The noise level can get loud once it gets filled which is all the time during peak dining time. The food... well I noticed folks either like it or don't. Hubs grew up with this type of food from his childhood. He luvs the food here, at La Placita, ... tacos, enchiladas, tamales, chile rellenos... all of it including the beans, rice, and salsa roja. The food and flavors are reminiscent to that generation of cuisine. I on the other hand am one of the folks that find the food filling, simple, and comforting. Not so much a gastronomical delight. My favorite item is the ground beef enchilada. Yummy ground beef, with chopped onions, baked in a corn tortilla in red sauce. Also being lactose intolerant, I have to remember to ask for no shredded cheese on top of the refried beans and entrees because they are generous with the cheese. The complimentary chips are served with a mild and a spicy hot version of salsa roja. I like the mild version. The spicy one is too woohoo spicy for me. The staff makes sure the chips, salsa, and drinks were filled. I rarely saw the bottom of the chip basket, salsa bowls, and my water glass.
So happy to find an old-school Mexican restaurant two minutes from our new home. We stopped in for lunch and was impressed with how clean and busy this little restaurant was. It wasn't even noon yet and they had quite a crowd. The salsa's were interesting, both smooth, looking a bit like ketchup, but sure didn't taste like ketchup! The hot salsa was deceiving; it didn't seem hot at first, but heat kept growing in my mouth. Tasty! I thoroughly enjoyed the Chili Verde burrito on the lunch special. This was evident by my empty plate. Mr. S is always in search of a good Mexican breakfast. He ordered chorizo and eggs with potatoes. He said the potatoes were distracting and will order the same without the slivers of potatoes next time. We will be back soon. Can't wait to try other menu items.
