The High Notes: The crab quesadilla is AMAZING, the menu is well priced and the white sauce is an underrated gem. Areas Of Concern: our party decided to move closer toward the beginning of the restaurant because where we sat, it was close to the restroom, and we could smell "activities"........ My fajitas would've been excellent, but they came without rice and I found that to be strange but otherwise they tasted very good and prepared nicely. Staff is attentive , navigate each table with care and assisted our large party. read more

Plaza Tapatia - Steak Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Seaford, Delaware

The place was pretty empty and the service was terrible. Really no excuse. Had to ask several times to even get water. The salsa was watery and my quesadilla was probably the worst one I have ever had. Not sure how hard it is to make a quesadilla. I would definitely not recommend. read more

Chicken fajitas are excellent. Fast service, authentic music, reasonable pricing. It's not close to us so we can't go as often as we would like. read more

We frequently eat at this establishment. We enjoy sitting in the bar area, normally with sporting events on TV. Chips and dip always fresh, the food choices are always authentic. At the bar area the bar tenders are also the servers. The food prep time has always been quick. read more

A pleasant surprise. I rarely eat at 2.5 star restaurants, but they have a restaurant in Salisbury, and we enjoyed the food. We stopped by for lunch, and there were about 6 tables of patrons. We were seated right away, and the waitress was pleasant . They bring the chips with both salsa and the white sauce for the chips. Both were good. We order the #121 big burrito and the 2 quesadilla entrees. They both had plenty of flavor, and after eating the chips, we had to get a take-home box for about half our meal. The total is about $25, and we didn't get anything but water to drink. I have zero complaints other than the chips were a bit thick, but that helped them hold up to me shoveling the salsa by the scoop loads without breaking. We did like the Salisbury location a little better due to the decor. We will be back. read more

Food is great, and it's priced very well. Their chips and salsa are good, the "white sauce" is amazing. My wife and I go there and get thefajita for two. The servers are hit or miss, maybe they are just having an off night. Place is clean and I feel safe eating there. read more

Plaza Tapatia - Fajitas for two! - Mexican Near Me - Seaford, Delaware

The worst Mexican food I've ever had. Even worse than Taco Bell. Everything is overly salted. I got crab enchiladas and the it was definitively imitation canned crab meat read more

Plaza Tapatia serves Mexican food in eight locations on the Eastern Shore. They claim to be Delmarva's number one Mexican restaurant. I believe that is a bit of an exaggeration. We've all been there. You splurge for dinner at that upscale, impossible-to-get-into restaurant only to experience mediocre food, rude service, and a check you need to look over three times because it can't possibly be right. You go home, write a nasty Yelp review and shake your fist to the sky, knowing that one day that place will answer to a higher power. No, not God. The higher power of the restaurant world is the food critic. Possibly the worst Mexican food ever! I moved back to Seaford about a year and a half ago and have been sampling restaurants regularly. I couldn't wait to try Plaza Tapatia after they moved locations into the newly remodeled restaurant. However, this is quite possibly the worst Mexican food I have ever had in my life (even worse than Taco Bell). We ordered takeout and when we got our food the tortillas were not there. Luckily we consume tacos and other Tex-Mex style food regularly so we had some at home. The food is mediocre for the price and to make it even worse it is not even close to authentic more like grade-school cafeteria food. As a local who supports the community I really wanted to like this place however, it was a huge disappointment. read more

I was a Take out the food was and service was good it didn't take long to get the order

Omg every time I order from this place they never disappoint. The food is always flavorful and amazing it's like my new favorite place to eat. I always say my favorite food is Chinese but I think it's Mexican cuisine now. I love how fresh everything always tastes. And it seems to me to be a more healthy option with how they prepare the food. If your ever in the area make sure to stop by your not going to regret it. read more

Plaza Tapatia - Beef quesadilla with avocado salad & rice - Mexican Near Me - Seaford, Delaware

This was by far the worst restaurant I received food from and if I knew how bad this was I would have gone to Taco Bell or McDonald's across the street. I ordered carne asada and my gf got tacos Al pastor and they forgot to give her the side of beans and forgot to give me my tortillas for my meal. We go in to ask them for the rest of the stuff and instead of giving my gf a side of beans they give her a side of the saltiest rice I've ever tried. We started to eat and I noticed the meat was totally undercooked and was so bland. There was no favor at all and that's what did it for me because you can't mess that up. As a Hispanic I am deeply disappointed lmao. There was a lot of liquid that it covered the beans. Never coming back!!! read more

Plaza Tapatia - Carne asada gone wrong. - Mexican Near Me - Seaford, Delaware

On my back from an account. Stopped by for lunch. This is not located a thriving metropolis (Seaford, Delaware), but if you like good Mexican food, these out the way places are gems. Very authentic atmosphere. Friendly and professional staff. The menu was very extensive with nice breakdowns of lunch and dinner specials and also traditional Mexican specialities. I had the mixed fajita dish (chicken and beef) it was delicious. The meats were perfectly cooked. I'm not sure I'll be down this way anytime soon, but if I do, I'll certainly stop in again. read more

I just don't know what has happened to this restaurant? Just so disappointed. Our waitress was extremely nice and checked on us frequently but the food was just not good. My favorite crema sauce was nasty and the salsa tasted like it was from the grocery store? Just very dissatisfied with my whole order tonight. What happened to my favorite place? read more

Stopped by on a road trip. We wanted something local, but there are very few choices nearby that aren't chains. Apparently all the mom-n-pop places chase the tourist dollars from the other highway that runs along the beach strip. So, for the inland route, this was our best local option. We learned from the menu that Plaza Tapatia is a local chain, with a handful of locations in DE and MD. The menu options are numbered, 40 dinner entrees, so there should be something for everyone. We had dog companions, so we ordered from the parking lot and waited the 15 mins to pick up. They took another 15 mins beyond that, which definitely takes a star off. They gave us free chips and salsa, which may be just what they do, or may be courtesy for the wait. Okay, you get a star back. The food was okay, 3 stars, for decent enough food, a much healthier option than Wendy's nextdoor. It was okay on veggie freshness. It is winter so I understand veg quality goes down this season. This may be their norm all year, so I'd judge more harshly in the summer, but for Jan, it was fine. Tortillas seemed fresh, and the chips held up well, and were still crispy 3 hours later when we got home, which was nice. The Taquitos Mexicanos (# 128) I ordered were tasty enough. They seemed like they might be a processed product based on how sealed shut they were. The taste reminded me a lot of the mini frozen tacos they sell at Trader Joe's. If I had to bet, I'd say these larger "taquitos" were made at the same factory. If not, they tasted like the frozen ones. Not bad-tasting, but not fresh like it was just made in their kitchen. Dessert was a crispy tortilla with honey, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and sprinkles. Not my favorite option for Mex desserts, but tasted pretty good. Hard to eat, though. They'd do better to put the same toppings on chips instead. Make a "dessert nachos" thing. All in all an okay stop. Reliable to give you okay food, that is healthier than the chains nearby. Decent prices, and you support local business owners. read more

This place is awesome. New location is very clean and nice inside. Food was fantastic and I highly recommend the Texas Fajitas. Service and wait staff outstanding. It's worth the visit. Keith Seaford, DE read more

One of my husband's and my favorite restaurants. We are usually there several times a month. The staff knows us which makes it a fun as well as hunger satiating experience. read more

This is an awesome restaurant. We have the same restaurant in Cambridge, Maryland BUT nowhere near the same portion sizes or friendly staff. We have ordered fajitas many times at our local Cambridge establishment by the same name and the portion size is skimpy. Bravo to the Seaford restaurant and their super friendly staff. read more

Stopped here while travelling through the area. We were disappointed in the service and food. Our server could not answer questions about the menu items. She pointed and wanted us to order by number (each dish was numbered). I'm rusty on speaking Spanish so after I was trying to ask questions for a bit she just walked away! I had to get up & speak to the cashier who was able to take my request (I wanted sauce on the side for my dish). When the food came it looked & tasted "OK" but no flavors or textures stood out. Everything was bland & required salt / hot sauce to jazz it up. The rice was flavorless & refried beans were thin and runny but edible. We won't be returning there. read more

Service was good, but the food could stand to be improved. It sounds cliche, but much of my meal was lacking the flavor I've come to expect from similar dishes in similar restaurants. The atmosphere is typical of other Mexican restaurants in the area, and I'll be spending my money there from now on. read more

Absolutely the worst service ever. Always check your food when in for a pickup. Staff and management rude and unprofessional Food was cold fajitas never included . Will never eat or order from this establishment again. Horrible experience x2 read more

In the land of fast food this place is a nic treat. Yummy mexician food with authentic sauces especially the hot sauce. I order chorizo soft tacos which were not on the menu but they made for me at my request. It came with beans and homemade salsa and the hot sauce was as good as you would get in Mexico city. A great stop if you are traveling through DE read more

Was VERY disappointed in last visit to this restaurant. Called in a to go order, picked it up 15 minutes later. There was no one eating in the establishment. The rice was cold, the quesadillas were undercooked, the nachos didn't include chicken when it should have.. The salsa that was included was very watery with little to no taste. read more

Chimichanga's - muy yummy; fried, steak. Ask for stuff on the side so the crunchiness isn't mushed with sour cream and guac. Rice is good but beans are delish! I'll be back! read more

I was always a fan of Plaza Tapatia but I do not plan to ever eat there again! They are not community minded or business friendly. We often do business luncheons at our office and not only do they add an additional charge for each take out order but they do not extend any specials or coupons for customers who want to place take out orders. Bad business!! read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant! It has good food, a wonderful atmosphere, and good service. I live in NC now... and out of the 10+ Mexican stops here, not ONE is as good as Plaza. I'll make sure to stop in on my next trip! read more

We had dinner here last night with 8 adults and 2 children and a baby. The restaurant was not busy at 4:30 on a Sunday. Drinks too 15 min. Over an hour later and we still didn't have our food. When it did come out, it was cold. I spoke to the manager, who was wearing street clothes and a backwards hat, and received 0 apology and not once did he come to the table. This was the worst dining experience we have ever had. If you are looking for a good dinner spot in Seaford, head to Grottos or Roadhouse. Stay away from here. read more

Great food but every time we get takeout from where I work we have to go back at least 2 times because they always mess up the order

Use to be a good place to eat. It has definitely gone down hill. I get food to go and it's always cold, portions are very rash, and hardly ever get the correct food. When you call to complain they could careless. Salisbury md location is awesome. read more

What happened to this place?! My husband and I used to eat there all the time and loved it, and after moving back to the area we wanted to try it out again. We went on a rainy night and as soon as we walked in, it was obvious they had some kind of leak. The smell was overwhelmingly bad. In the dining room it wasn't as bad, but they sat us in the booth right next to the bathroom and that smelled just as awful. We could literally smell urinal cakes at our table. The whole atmosphere of the place was grungy. The portions were much, much smaller than the last time we were there and the food was so bland. Everything needed salt and hot sauce. The beer was warm, and after clearing my husband's plate the waiter disappeared for over 25 minutes. We had to flag down another waiter to get our check, and even then it took another ten minutes. That gave us plenty of time to observe the water leaking from the ceiling next to our table. Awful, awful, awful. We'll never eat here again. read more

Worst service ever. Super rude waitress - took 30 minutes to get 2 waters, never got any napkins, the chips were stale (asked for new ones and she got mad).......finally walked out. There were only 4 other tables of people - now I know why. read more

Closed. This location has closed but they are moving to a new location across from Walmart on dual highway.

So, this is no fancy restaurant but we go for the Plaza Fajitas (chorizo, yum!) and the Texas Margaritas by the pitcher. Yeah, the service can be lackluster and the ambience could use a little updating but the food is good if you know what to order and the price is super reasonable. Especially in Seaford where there aren't many restaurants to choose from. read more
