The service was excellent and the food was great. My son had the chicken tinga tacos and I had the carne asada burrito. The steak was a little tough but on the whole a tasty dish. The chips helped cut our hunger a little but I wound up eating the whole thing (I was starved). I don't quite get why it's Salsa's with an apostrophe, but perhaps that's the secret sauce.

An absolute masterpiece of cheese and compliance. Look, in a…read moreworld where typing "no onions" into special instructions usually means "please give me extra onions and mock my life choices," La Placita actually reads. My onion-averse burrito came out 100% onion-free. That level of reading comprehension alone deserves a key to the city. Now, onto the heavy hitters. The Steak & Chicken/Chorizo Burritos: The meat was seasoned like someone's abuela was standing in the back threatening the line cook if it came out bland. Incredible flavor on both. The Rice: Cooked to absolute perfection. Not a single grain was undercooked and crunchy, nor was it a sad mushy paste. The Queso Situation: These bad boys arrive draped in a glorious blanket of melted queso. Personally, I loved it! I am fully prepared to attack a burrito with a knife and fork like a sophisticated savage. But fair warning to the traditionalists: if you want to pick this thing up with your hands without needing a post-meal hazmat shower, order that queso on the side. 10/10 Middletown gem. Will be back to drown another burrito in cheese very soon.

Place was relatively dead, though the area was alive with activity. Not the best sign, but we decided to give this place a fair shake. Server was very nice, helped translate the menu and offered lots of recommendations. Food came out relatively quickly, and we dug in. The skirt steak and mussels were good. The sauce on the side of the steak was herbaceous and tangy which worked well with the steak. The mussels were fairly big, with a nice light white wine sauce. The drinks were strong but balanced, and everything tasted good and was cooked well. I really don't mind paying for quality. Each small plate commanded the price of an entree at any other location. So you would expect really good bites for each plate. It was good, but lacked any special qualities to make it memorable. Which makes it good food at a hefty price tag. Given that they are right next door to a really popular tavern, it does take away from their appeal. It's not bad food, but it isnt stellar food either. It was leaps and bounds better than the first place I went to that night, but it's also not the first place I would go to for that area. The octopus is good, but there's a lot of good on that strip. It's an option if you want tapas

Unfortunately I don't remember the servers name, but I'm pretty sure he was our server, bartender and chef haha. Ambiance is calming and goes with the food that we ate. Music went great and helped out the ambiance of the place. If you're in the mood for great seafood and drinks, I highly recommend this place! We went on a Tuesday so it wasn't too busy. Not sure if it's any different for dinner. We also got an espresso martini which was made to perfection. All the food was honestly fantastic. The Pulpo has a large menu and the prices are not bad. If you're big into Paella's they also offer a wide variety of those. On Mondays and Tuesdays all Paellas are actually $20. It's a pretty far drive for me, but if I'm ever in the area again. I will definitely be going to this place for either lunch or dinner. Great job to the gentleman working today; whoever he was deserves a raise!
