La Placita about 1935

About Us

In 1935, in the heart of the Historic Old Town Plaza, La Placita Dining Rooms opened their doors. We have been home for almost 80 years thanks to the serving of authentic New Mexican style Mexican food. We prepare our foods, such as red and green chilies, tamales and sopapillas from our traditional recipes. New Mexico Magazine has called our sopapillas the best in New Mexico!

If you want to come an experience a hearty New Mexican style meal, contact us for reservations. We welcome diners of all ages to come experience authentic, Mexican cuisine in the heart of Albuquerque.
