My waitress Giselle did a great job and was efficient when it came to getting food and drink orders. She excelled and hyped up the cooks in the kitchen to where the food was amazing. Plus a layout of the surrounding area as recommendations is always helpful. Will definitely be eating there again as the all around service was just as good as our individual waitress. read more

Very welcoming atmosphere. The staff was very attentive which we appreciate for our party of six. The pricing was good but the food quality was not as we expected. Very happy overall,though. read more

First time here and very impressed by the quality of food and freshness! Both short rib enchiladas and mile enchiladas were tasty and delicious! Nellie was great and attentive with her service even though it was hella busy!!! Ambiance was upbeat and full of life and good vibes! Guava Margarita was also pretty good, not overly sweet like other places, balanced! Definitely worth the $15! Guac with habanero and mint and mango, sign me up, it was fresh and absolutely delicious! Highly recommend and will be back soon! read more

Like I really needed to love this place even more. The mall closed and so were all the bathrooms. I went into plata to use the restroom. I said I was going to sit at the bar, but I was unsure if I should sit & have a Margie. I came out & didn't want to get judged because I told a guy at the host stand I was going to the bar. I was greeted by a lady bartender & she told me it was reverse hh. It was meant to be :)I had a Margie & my spicy salsa. read more

What a beautiful restaurant! My husband and I had dinner here on Monday after spending the weekend in the area. Savanna was our bartender and she was an absolute gem. She really elevated our experience. We had mojitos, along with a taco trio, rice, beans and a chicken quesadilla. I liked the presentation of the quesadilla. The way it was cut made for an easily shareable dish. The tacos were fantastic! We had the carnitas, pescado, and carne asada. All were delicious, but the carne asada stole the show. The meat was marinated to perfection. The chips and salsa were top notch. The chips were seasoned and the salsa was amazing! It wasnt too spicy. The rice and beans were wonderful. The mojitos were delicious and felt like we were somewhere tropical. We sat at the bar top and had the best date night. We will definitely be back. read more

Stopped by here for dinner while out on a mini staycation with the wife. I truly enjoyed our Experience here. 5 stars for great tasting food, excellent excellent customer service. We had some shots of tequila to go with our cold beers. Both were great. Prices were fair for the good vibes, quality food and great service. Place was loud but not obnoxiously loud. Lots of people having a great time like we did. Lots of free parking and yes we will come here again and recommend to fellow Yelpers and friends. read more

Day date success at Plata! My husband and I stopped by for some much needed alone time. It was my first time at this location. We were excited to try it and chose to sit at the bar. Honestly, best decision ever! Lynda was our bartender/server and she absolutely crushed it!!!! Friendly, attentive, professional and full of great recommendations. 10/10 service. We kept things light with drinks and appetizers so we could relax and catch up. Every drink we tried was fantastic: La Niña Fresa, Cucumber Jalapeño and the Plata Margarita. All super refreshing and dangerously good!!!! For food, we ordered the elote mexicano, taquitos de pollo and tacos. Everything was packed with flavor and really hit the spot. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to double up the tortillas on the tacos since they tended to fall apart while eating.... I basically had to use a fork to eat my tacos lol. That said, it didn't take away from how good they were. The al pastor was my favorite, followed by pescado, then carne asada. Overall, such a great experience from service to food and drinks. We will definitely be returning! read more

This is my second time here and both times disappointed. The service and atmosphere is great but the food is terrible. I got the carne asada the first time more than 3/4 of it was fat. I couldn't eat it. This time I got a bowl and the chicken was dry, chewy and hard to swallow. My husband got the enchiladas suizas and really like it though. read more

This review is well over do. I've eaten here a few times, different times and days and nights to see if this location is consistent on service,cleanliness and most of quality of food, and to day they have excited my expectations of of full service restaurant. A must try if you're in the mood for some delicious Mexican food. The decor in the restaurant is lite in colors that seemed to blend in very well with the atmosphere. The Bar is located right in the middle of the restaurant, so you get a nice view of the interior and the exterior of the location. The Bar is also equipped with a few TVs to add to your dining experience. One of my favorite dishes is the Chicken Enchiladas with their version of rice and beans. Of course don't forget about the chips and salsa too. A nice blend of taste, green Verde. Salsa. I Recommend this location. Well done! read more

~ MODERN MEXICAN DONE SPLENDIDLY ~ Oops, how have I not already written a review?! Plata Cocina Mexicana has been one of my go-to spots for the perfect for date night, happy hour, or a casual family dinner. The vibe is open, airy indoor/outdoor seating, a large wrap-around bar, relaxed upscale-casual, and beautiful colorful decor. Food-wise, everything we tried was delicious! The house-made chips and salsa are are my fav, and the tacos are stuffed to the brim, you have to try the short ribs, though the HH tacos (carne asada, carnitas, al pastor) are all amazing too. Homemade tortillas, tender, flavorful meat, and big servings make every bite a win. Drinks are just as good, large and in charge, strong margaritas (strawberry basil and tamarind are top picks), plus beers on tap for happy hour. The service is excellent, with attentive, friendly staff who anticipate your every need and always have your water cup filled (the cream of the crop for me)! read more

Had a great experience here with the late night happy hour. I enjoyed a delicious short rib street taco and margarita. The food was good, fresh and spicy. The margarita was also quite good. Happy hour was a bargain, left happy for under $20. Service was excellent. Though we miss the Red Robin that used to be here, they've made it a nice space with a relaxing environment. So grateful for this option of great food and service at the mall. See website for hours, locations, and more. read more

The worst food I have ever had in my life. Our water glasses arrived dirty (see photo), which was a terrible start. Then the carnitas came out with black veins and what looked like cooked blood vessels. It was completely unappetizing and honestly shocking that anyone thought this was acceptable to serve. It was clear no one cared what they were bringing to the table. Never again. read more

Lunch (with my pop) at Plata Cocina Mexicana -- Thousand Oaks, CA The restaurant looks quite new and is very clean, comfortable, and stylishly presented. The staff was friendly, professional, and polite. However, during our meal, no one checked in to see if everything was to our liking or if we needed anything else. We were seated right away, though there was a bit of a wait before our server arrived. It wasn't excessive, and the same goes for how long the food took to come out. I ordered the Pollo Con Elvia's Mole, one of many entrées on a large menu that covers a wide range of Mexican standard, including entree plates and dedicated sections for tacos and burritos. While there was nothing technically wrong with the dish, it didn't stand out. There was something missing. It had the kind of blandness I often associate with restaurants that try to do too much. Given the $25 price tag, I expected more. In a city with many excellent Mexican restaurants, this one didn't leave a lasting impression. In the end, much like the atmosphere and service, pleasant but unremarkable. My overall experience was fine, but not overly memorable. read more

Came to Plata for Father's Day brunch and had such a great experience! The food and drinks were amazing highly recommend the raspberry mimosas and Raspberry Smash! My husband ordered the steak and loved it. What really stood out was our server, Ashley. She was so friendly, funny, and attentive the entire time. She was great with our kids, accommodating to my parents, and always made sure we had everything we needed. Service like that is hard to find these days. We'll definitely be back! read more

We unfortunately had a bad experience here with my family on my dad's birthday. I ended up contacting a manager a bit after. Although he compensated me with a little gift card, I am unsure if I want to go back to this location. EXPERIENCE: It was around 4:00 on a weekday when my family came here for my dad's birthday. Not too busy, but busy enough. We were there for two hours, a few of our orders were incorrect, the food did not taste great to my family, my mom's dish was so salty it was inedible. We even told the server, but he didn't even offer her a new dish or apologize. My mom loves it at the Agoura restaurant. Mine was pretty darn good. The Quesabirria tacos are delicious! Sadly, the service was horrendous. We had 2 different servers, who were extremely absent and never gave a refill for our drinks in the two hours we were there. My sister's husband had to get up and flag someone down. Honestly, this was a 1 star experience for all 6 people in our family! I am being extremely giving with my 3 star review, because the manager was very kind after I reached out. I'm still unsure if I'll be back, but if I decide to, I'll be getting the Quesabirria tacos! read more

Stopped by for lunch with a friend and had a great experience. We ordered the quesadillas and a couple of Diet Cokes. The usual girl dinner type of meal. You know... The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They did initially forget my side of guacamole, but once I mentioned it, it was corrected right away with no fuss at all. The service is great. Solid food. Pretty casual which is nice considering they are located in the mall. Couldn't be happier and definitely coming back. read more

We really enjoyed our experience here. Our server, Renee, was so attentive and patient, noticing what we might need and making sure we were well taken care of. The restaurant feels spacious and the lighting creates the perfect dinner mood. The food was fresh, flavorful, and colorful. The steak quesadillas were our favorite. And, the cilantro rice was a refreshing touch. We all enjoyed our meals and found the pricing to me very fair. The quality is definitely appreciated and is what we'll be coming back for. read more

This will be one of our go-to restaurants! It was absolutely delicious. The same standard of excellence as their Kanan location. We started with complementary chips and salsa- all house-made--phenomenal! Probably the best chips and salsa we have had. We then ordered our margaritas--so good! They come large as well, so a good serving for your money. My husband got the tamarind margarita and I got the house margarita. I wouldn't order the house one again--it was good but just standard. My favorite one of theirs is the strawberry basil margarita. My husband said the tamarind flavor is one of his top 5 margaritas he's had! We both ordered the taco trio. I got carne asada x 3 --it was fantastic!!! The meat quality was top notch, so flavorful. The tortillas are all homemade too. My husband ordered the Alambre, Pescado, and Tinga de Pollo. He said they were delicious!!! You can't go wrong with the taco trio. The ambiance is perfect--upscale casual. Very relaxed. The service is wonderful! Our server was so sweet and attentive. I wish I got her name. She was so kind and friendly. We were constantly asked how we were doing and if we needed anything. The only downside is the parking at the Oaks. We had to park in the movie theater parking lot. There were spaces there, but as a head's up-I wouldn't attempt to park right next to the restaurant; the spaces are always filled up. Overall, this is a solid date night option or family dinner night out. Delicious food and lovely ambiance! read more

I was recently a customer at Plata for the first time. I was with my husband and daughter, upon arrival we loved the atmosphere. We were seated promptly, our server Ashley greeted us and took our drink order. We had the El Ranchero, carne asada and tacos, the food was delicious. The reason for my three star review is how upsetting it was to my daughter and myself when our server Ashley seemed to flirt with my husband during our entire visit. It is so disappointing when women especially young women think that is the way to get a better tip. We left and my young daughter said well how awkward was that... read more

Plata Restaurant is the best ever! Rafa is sooo nice. The service is truly excellent--everyone is incredibly kind and welcoming. The Christmas atmosphere is amazing, festive, and joyful. It honestly makes me feel like I'm in Mexico--I wish I could stay longer! The food is always fresh and outstanding, every single time. Definitely 5 stars read more

I've been a fan of Plata Cocina Mexicana for a while now, so I was really glad to see them expand and open a new location at The Oaks Mall. The ambiance is more modern - light and airy with high ceilings and a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Foodwise, a couple of my favorite standout dishes are the Chamorro de Cordero, which is fall-off-the-bone tender and full of flavor, the Pollo con Elvia's Mole, and the Camarones al Gusto. The complimentary, freshly-made chips and salsa always hit the spot too! Service was efficient and friendly, but I was a bit disappointed to see upcharges for basic substitutions, like getting two portions of rice instead of rice and beans for an extra $4, which is little steep for a minor change IMO. Overall, their Agoura Hills location is still my preferred go-to, but this is a solid option when you're at the mall! read more

Came here on Sunday and it was my first time. I'll definitely be back because the food was good and the ambience was nice. I had 3 tacos with rice and beans. I like that I could pick between cilantro or spanish rice and the tacos were meaty. I got short ribs and grilled fish and it was delicious. My best friend got the steak and she said everything here is good. She's been here multiple times and said the drinks are strong too. I'll have to come back and order more off the menu. read more

My partner and I were traveling through and came in for a late dinner. We were seated promptly, and a member of the team brought chips, salsa, and water. Our server finished up with a large table and then came by to take our drink order. She was friendly and very helpful in answering questions about menu items. I ordered the raspberry mojito and three coliflor tacos on corn tortillas. My partner ordered 3 tacos: crispy shrimp, pollo asado, and el pastor. The non-alcoholic mojito was very refreshing, and we enjoyed the seasoning in the salsa. The cauliflower, crispy cheese, and pumpkin seed combination on my tacos was quite good, though the tortillas were just ok. My partner enjoyed the flavors of his tacos too, though one of the tortillas split when he picked it up. Our server checked in frequently to fill water and check on us, but it didn't feel intrusive. We would go back when in the area again. read more

I've loved the original Plata in Agoura since they opened years ago for their delicious chips and margaritas, and I'm glad to have tried more now at the new location at The Oaks that is a bit closer to me! This location is much larger than the original, and has a great open indoor/outdoor vibe. Love the patio, and the very large wrap-around bar. Great vibes and good service. They have quite a variety of tacos, and they are stuffed to the brim. Definitely a bit messy to eat, but also very delicious. My favorites that I've tried so far are the Pescado and Short Ribs. Unfortunately the Short Ribs aren't on the happy hour menu, but the ones featured on there are all great as well! It's a bit odd to me that the happy hour menus don't show prices and aren't kept on the table or given to you during HH time, but if you ask they'll give it to you, and the prices are good during HH - my friend and I were surprised at the price of the bill after each getting 3 tacos, and me a margarita, her a beer. Come enjoy the ambiance and some modern Mexican cuisine, you won't be disappointed. read more
