Good FRESH food. Best Pozole by far. Not too pricey either. There is limited seating, but anything you order is going to be fresh and tasty.

MÉXICO 🇲🇽 Eat the World NYC review: An almost magical area containing one of the densest concentrations of Oaxacans on the east coast is right in New Brunswick, NJ. A good place to begin your explorations is at one of the longest running, La Placita Mexicana, which has evolved in its ten or so years of existence from a tiny kitchen inside a grocery to a slightly less tiny kitchen inside a grocery with a massive following. Because growth really is not an option at this original location, they have opened up two formal restaurants nearby, but the casual nature of the grocery is still preferred. The big crispy yet stretchy tortilla used for tlayudas ($10-12) is not ever made to order, as these are actually imported from Oaxaca. A layer of asiento (unrefined pork lard) and black beans creates

★★★★★ 5.0 Cristobal Samaniego · Feb 2025

This place was just great! I ordered a torta de chorizo and it was the best Torta I have ever had. Way better then Pizzas citys tortas. (No shame on them) My family loved this place. It was pretty clean and didnt smell. On one side is the Restaurant and the other is like a small super market. Pretty cool if I say so my self. I hope you love this place like I did!

The food is good, but some products they sell are damaged and the boy who attends does not have a good attitude
