Taqueria La Plaza: Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Walnut Creek

Authentic family owned Mexican restaurant. Our family has been coming here for years. If you want authentic Mexican food with a great, family friendly atmosphere, this is your place. We love everything on the menu!

Today I found a new place for tacos. I got two crispy chicken tacos and one crispy fish tacos. I got the order to go, and it came with tortilla chips. What I really liked is that they added three different salsas to my bag, which were delightful. Check out my photos, as each taco came out perfect. I'm coming back here next week and bringing coworkers.

This is a super quick and easy place to go if you're craving Mexican food. I'm not the biggest fan of their refried beans, but for me that doesn't lower the overall quality of this establishment! Same few people working each day, if you order the same items, each time you head in, ordering goes by faster. Lots of seating options inside and outside. Indoors they have a small TV which is nice if you come inside and order takeout. They also have a salsa bar without limitations on how much salsa you can take-- you will not need that much. I highly recommend coming here if you need a quick stop for dinner or just want to try out a new place in the area!

Talk about portion size and good value! This place makes some decent food. Flavor not the most flavorful but the food is more than ok. Food comes out fast. Location seems busy the few times I have gone. It's clean and bright. My plan is to try all the meats to see which one is best.

Extensive menu, delicious flavors! This shrimp cocktail was perfectly refreshing on a scorching hot day.

Taqueria La Plaza is next to Chase in Palos Verdes Mall now. We had never eaten at their Concord locale. We have had two different "To-Go" dinners, both were delicious. The menu is very seafood oriented in a good way. Our first order was the Spicy Prawn Plate and Prawn Fajita Plate, and our second was a burrito bowl with grilled chicken and the cheese enchilada plate with a fish taco side. The fish taco was sea bass, thankfully. So, they are using quality seafood and the produce is fresh. My biggest surprise was the green salsa was cool and refreshing with a hint of cilantro and avocado. It was almost palate cleansing, and NOT spicy at all. If there is tomatillo, it is very little to nil. Both of the red Salsa were spot on. My husband didn't like the cheese in his black beans, I loved it. My one bone of contention, which frankly saved me the calories, was that the chips are not homemade. They are mediocre at best, which I am actually grateful to them for since I didn't want to eat them. I just ate everything else. Even repurposed the next morning into eggs making breakfast burrito. Super Yummy! Well priced, The patio is a plus, inside has next to no ambiance thanks to COVID. Taqueria La Plaza is a DO OVER and should be on your list of places to eat.

La Plaza is a hidden gem in Walnut Creek. Big menu with lots of options, you can't go wrong with anything you pick. My go tos are the Chile Relleno or the Nachos. the Bean and Cheese Burrito is also one of the best I've ever had. Great to eat in or easy takeout for the whole fam. Highly recommend!

First time coming here I got a wet burrito it was great. They are fast and the woman was really nice
