Service was a little weird, the young man seemed upset we chose to eat there. Rice was dry and beans were really soupy and liquid. I got a carne asada burrito and only had a few bites. I think the meat was throwing me off, I'm not sure why the burrito was so bad. read more

La Placita Express - Carne asada burrito with rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Ok maybe I'm a taco snob but I ordered 2 carne asada one pork and one chicken. The pork was dry, the chicken was in an oily red sauce and the carne was ok. I was disappointed. The lady who served me was nice and the red sauce and green cause we're good. read more

Given the reviews I was honestly underwhelmed, but maybe it was an off day. Tortillas were excellent, I'll give them that. Barbacoa and deshebrada, both forms of braised beef, were just ok in my view. They had a nice flavor, but the texture was kinda mushy, rather than the slow-cooked richness I'd've expected. That said, it is much better than one could reasonably expect from a mall food court. read more

Sunday just after 12pm and the meats in the tacos were barely lukewarm and pretty dried out, and they were out off at least two things I asked for. Maybe it's yesterday's food today! Even if the food itself had been hittin, $3.99 for a relatively small-portioned street taco is not a deal. Maybe my fault for ordering tacos instead of a burrito or torta. Maybe Sunday is the wrong day to come in. Maybe they were just having a bad day. But if you can't get tacos right at lunchtime on the weekend, I'm not gonna give you a second try. Two stars cos the tortillas were good and the lady was nice. read more

So much better than fast food, for the same price and just as fast. We were just passing through this part of town on our way to Walnut Canyon, but we're glad we skipped all the McPlaces (thank you, Yelp), and enjoyed a good lunch from La Placita Express. We all got burritos, mine was the spicy al pastor and I was very pleased with my choice. read more

I'm a visitor to Flagstaff. For lack of restaurants near the theaters we came to the mall. I love Mexican food!! This place did not disappoint. I ordered the steak, mushroom, and cactus quesadilla. This is a very different quesadilla than I'm used to. Homemade corn tortilla is very flavorful. It was a thicker than what I'm used to, but it was delicious! Plenty of filling that was very tasty. I ordered it with a side of sour cream. Only down side, I should've had then cut it in half and grabbed extra napkins! This place will let me taste before I ordered which was great because my original item was a little too spicy for me. Delicious, but I want in the mid for spice today. Overall, when I come to Flagstaff, I will definitively come to the mall ti eat here again!! read more

This was my first time eating at La Placita Express . I was greeted by a smile and " Hi, how are you doing?" By the manager Maria. I ordered the taco asada dinner and was going to take it home. Maria suggested I eat it while it was hot, or at least one taco. She was so right! Everything was good! Everything was fresh. I have to say from the awesome service to the food these are the BEST TACOS IN TOWN!! I will definitely bring my peeps here and come back again. Can't believe how many times I've walked passed this place while at the Mall. Glad I stopped this time read more

This was our first visit and it was amazing. Hidden gem is right. The owner and her employee were both friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent and tasty, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We will be going back soon. Thank you. read more

This place is a "hidden" gem in flagstaff. I say hidden because it's inside the mall but they hands down have the best tacos in the city. Honestly, best tacos I've ever had and i've lived a lot of different places and had a lot of tacos. Salsas are so yummy as are the chips and guac. The owner is so friendly and the service is fast. I have never been disappointed in the food I get there. Run, don't walk, to try the tacos at La Placita! read more

BEST deshebrada tacos EVER!!! Chase was our cashier, cook and server and he was FANTASTIC!!! The carne asada tacos were AMAZING!! read more

I had the opportunity to try this place out. I was skeptical as I am not a fan of fast food. However this place is pretty good! I had the burrito dinner for $8.99 and was satisfied. The beans and rice were just okay. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Would eat here again! read more

La Placita Express - Green chili burrito dinner plate - Mexican Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

I get the Chicken Taco's every Tuesday. Freaking delicious. The Carne Asada is great. Actually, I've tried everything except Pork. I don't eat pork. And everything is great. I can honestly say this is the best Fast Mexican food Restaurant in Northern Arizona. Way better than any of the 'Bertos'. Reminds me of Nico's in OB. read more

The homemade corn tortillas are SO good!! The lady was able to help my girlfriend pick a meal around her multiple dietary allergies. Everything tasted very fresh. read more

Honestly the food is ok..nothing to brag about..the worst part about going here is the service...it's rude and makes the experience pretty crappy... Owners and their families should be thankful for patronage....and realize that the customers make the business successful...not a rude attitude.. read more

Coronavirus and they dont even wear gloves. The lady at the counter is so mean as well.

A little expensive but WORTH IT! The rice has very good flavor and so do the flautas.

The owner is such a sweet woman and she knows how to make great food! My boyfriend and I go regularly and everything is good, I don't know where to start cause all the food is so good. I am big carne asada taco lover and it's always constantly delicious. The rice and beans are done well also, not dry at all. They also let you try anything before ordering which is helpful. Highly recommend. read more

Maria is amazing she has great food and wonderful customer service. I love the corn quesadillas

This place is AMAZING! Best Mexican food in Flagstaff hands down. The green chile beef, and Barbacoa are to die for! You can tell that everything is made fresh and with lots of love! So glad that there is finally an authentic Mexican food place I can go to here in Flagstaff read more

Amazing service and awesome food!! Right away we were greeted by Maria who offered us samples, which were all amazing!! The tacos were filled with tons of meat and were clearly made with love by Maria! Will be back again and again! read more

Inedible to be as kind as possible. Flavorless, chewy, grisly , fatty meat (if that's actually what that was!). Spent $22 on two burrito meals and they're now in the trash can, uneaten. Save yourselves! read more

As the comment above said, it's extremely over priced for not so well burritos. I tried one steak burrito, listed as $4.99, and after agreeing to the extremely pushy sells woman behind the counter and getting a side of rice, and a water, the total came to $9.98! read more

Very good Mexican food. Cheap and quick. Very friendly staff, polite and helpful! Price is reasonable to boot. Probably one of the best Mexican restaurants in Flag. read more

Props to Maria P. for being one of the most attentive and friendly people I've ever had the pleasure of receiving customer service from.

Awesome authentic Mexican food! Not at all what you would expect from an express stop in a shopping mall!! Staff was very nice and helpful assisting us in ordering. The cactus tea is super yummy!! Affordably prices. Quick service. Yelp directions were off. This is located in the shopping mall across the street from where the directions sent us. Would definitely eat here again!! read more

Absolutely fantastic food and great service! We will definitely be going back here again. The food truly tasted homemade. We were offered samples to help make our decisions. The customer service was great! She truly wanted to make sure we had a great experience! read more

I have to agree this is the best Mexican in Flagstaff. I've been here 6 years and haven't found anywhere I loved until La Placita. A la Mexica tacos are so good and also the carne asada! The lady we always see when we go is so nice and friendly! A must try! read more

Wow!! I was in the mall today and didn't really want to leave to find something to eat. I saw La Placita Express and thought I would give it a try after watching seeing some seriously fresh looking tortillas warming up in the grill. I was not disappointed. I would probably be considered a Mexican food snob. I have lived near and on the border for most of my life. This food is the real deal. Nothing here has seen a can. We had the carne and barbacoa tacos. They were some of the best I've had and I have probably eaten hundreds. read more

Soooo Good taco plate was off the hook the service was beyond excellent and they were so very nice! ! Our new favorite place

This place is wildly delicious. Each dish is distinctly seasoned and tasty. Handmade corn tortillas are chewy and full of flavor. If not for yelp, we'd never have stumbled across it as its inside a shopping mall food court and we were just passing through. Yelp's gps directions took us across the street to a ranger station so beware. We will definitely stop again when passing through Flagstaff. read more

By FAR the best Mexican you can find in Flagstaff. The carne asada tacos are yum but the quesadilla on their homemade corn tortilla is TO DIE FOR! love this place :) read more

The move here is to order the quesadilla. Most places, a quesadilla gets served on a bland, mass market flour tortilla. Here the quesadilla shell is made in house from corn, adding a delicious flavor and texture. And of course, the fillings are superb. My favorites are the Placita Queen and the Deshebrada. read more

Excellent nachos! My brother also really enjoyed his carne asada tacos. We will be back.

I was incredibly impressed with the food quality and service for me the best Mexican food in Flagstaff

As a Mexican from California who is no stranger to authentic food from Mexico itself i had a hard time finding great street tacos in Flagstaff but this place did not let me down! I Ordered the 3 taco plate, which came with rice and beans. The tortillas were perfect size (yes its 2 tortillas per taco), the carne asada was delicious and topped off with cilantro and onion. OH and they have green and red salsa. The green one is good for those who want flavor and not to much spicyness. But for my fellow PICANTE lovers try the red, has a nice kick! The girl on the register that helped us was really sweet. The Horchata is good but might be to sweet for some, i have had better. Will be returning to this nice spot. Cant wait to try out there Tortas! read more

Yelp sucks! But La placita express is to die for, the best I've had since I've moved to Flagstaff

Excellent homemade corn tortillas! Hot, fresh, with tasty meats but the tortilla made the meal. Had 3 quesadillas! Gal up front was friendly, bubbly, and helpful with recommendations. read more

I don't know what the negative reviewer from Phoenix is talking about. The food is fresh and delicious. The folks behind the counter were super friendly. This is really good food and I am glad they opened up their spot in the mall! read more

Surprised to find this unassuming and simple restaurant in the Flagstaff food court to have pop and wow! Everything made from scratch taste homemade Marinated meats and masa tortilla homemade crispy flair as. This is going to be our Flagstaff go to Mexican food place to eat! Fresh and homemade like the real deal like my Grandma Martinez used to make!!! read more

Fresh food all made there. Nothing from a can in my observation. As others have mentioned, the quesadillas are excellent. It's my wife's favorite Mexican place in town, and she grew up in Jalisco, Mexico. read more
