The Plaza

This place was amazing and clean clean clean - loved our sweet server. We never need to ask for anything, not even tea refills. She was very up beat and happy. You don't see that very often. We will be back!!! We had a chimichanga and carne asada fajita tacos. Plus the sauces were delicious.

Everything was so amazing 👏🏻 hubby got the Guisada Monterrey and I ordered the Steak Fajita Nachos extra cheese, extra steak. Chefs kiss. Ruben was our waiter and he was excellent 👌🏻 👏🏻. We never had to ask for refills or chips. The salsa tasted fresh too.

This food was spectacular. I had an avocado enchilada with a cream sauce and the stuffed avocado. So good. Then finally a real papilla. Have not had one this good in 20 years.

The service here made me feel welcomed and appreciated for my time and money spent here, the food was off the charts and I will be back for breakfast lunch and dinner. This place is a great establishment to spend time with family and friends for a nice lunch!

I have been 3 times with my family (and they go all the time). We love it. The food, service and atmosphere have always been great. The only thing I would knock is their margaritas...could use a little TLC. However, many of their other drinks are great. I'm just a picky margarita dude. Also, they took care of 15 of us quite well. The hostesses did an excellent job of giving a polite and professional first impression. I just moved to Lubbock and will definitely be going there. I had Chicken Fajita Nachos last time and they were delicious. Give it a shot!

First time here at the plaza and one of the best restaurant experiences I have had in Lubbock. I was instantly sat and greeted by an excellence server. I ordered a ghost pepper margarita and it was very good. The food came in a reasonable time and it was very flavorful. The managers also seem to be very involved with the restaurant , as both managers Bryan and Angie came to check on my table within my visit.

We love this location! The Tex mex stir fry is divine. Dining room is a little noisy at the smaller tables but we’ve been here with a big party too and it was great.

Andrea made our dining experience superb! Food was on point. We had a table of four, everything came out together, hot, fresh, perfect. Thanks Plaza!!! I highly recommend.

If you’re in Lubbock, The Plaza is definitely the place you cannot miss out on. You always get a vibrant energetic atmosphere, deliciously classic dishes with a modern twist, and exceptional service. Bryan has always been the kindest, humble employee that delivers your plate with the most welcoming and warm smile. To the point he makes you feel like you’re part of the family. It's a must-visit to anyone looking for quality and memorable dining experience.

America was our server and was amazing. Food and the ambiance in the restaurant is always tops shelf. The Carne Guisada is a favorite of mine.

Hadn’t been here for a few years so we decided to give the Slide location a try. We were impressed overall. Great service. Delicious food. Chips arrived hot. It did take awhile for the food to arrive at our table when it wasn’t all that busy inside the restaurant but when it arrived, it was hot and delicious. Overall, we were very impressed with our second visit… much more so than our first at the Milwaukee location. Would definitely come back again.

They were very busy and we had a party of 8. Food was amazing and large portions! They came out and sang happy birthday to my Uncle!

The food is tasty. I’ve eaten here twice. I probably won’t go back though. One time there was a hair in the food and the other time, the salad bowl wasn’t clean. It had crusted food stuck on it.

The Plaza is a Great spot, we visit here often! Our kids love it too. Pro tip, ask for the spicy salsa verde!

100% honest review. If you're looking for gentrified Mexican food, the this is the place for you. It's not authentic whatsoever...so don't expect it to be. Its not like the OG Plaza at all. Lets start with the complimentary chips and salsa. Greasy chips and metallic garlicy salsa...nope. I then got the carne guisada/enchilada plate. What I got was basically tough beef tips in salty gravy...the seasonings were...horrendous. Think, country style beef tips and gravy with cumin and garlic in it to make it "exotic". And, yes, I've had guisada from several Mexican and other latin owned establishments (even outside of Lubbock). This one wasn't it. One bite and I couldn't touch it any more. The enchilada...let me tell you that the "queso" is out of a can. The cheese looked like it was on Ozempic and anemic. The corn tortillas...that's Mission brand 100%. The refried beans were decent. The frozen margaritas...strong...but that was fine with me. Atmosphere...it's giving Taco Tuesday at the RNC. My friend and I are latino. He's Mexican and I'm Cuban. We felt so out of place. Not a drop of melanin or ethinicity in that establishment. The original Plaza (granted it was almost 10 years ago) had better ambiance than this place. Given the area it's built in...it tracks. Literally a box with tables and canteens from Party City for decorative lights...that didn't work. If you've made it this far, I'm currently at home recovering. Does this review sound dramatic?...depends. But we were...disappointed doesn't even cover it. HEB pays better homage to Mexican food.

Don't waste your time or money. While the service was excellent and the atmosphere as expected, the food was awful. The salsa tasted like it came out of jar, the queso was reheated cheese whiz, the guisada sauce had decent flavor but the meat was hard and tasteless, and the beef enchilada with red sauce was inedible with the meat having the consistency of dog food. I've heard mixed reviews on the Plaza but now firmly side with those who say they'll never go back. There are better Tex-mex options in town, don't waste your time or money on this place.

The discrimination I just experienced at The Plaza on Slide Rd. was absolutely unacceptable! After being seated we were passed by multiple waiters and waitresses, not offered drinks or even the complimentary chips and salsa . After watching the four other tables of “white” family’s that arrived after us be served and waited on we were still sitting with nothing . Only after getting up to leave were we acknowledge. Never would I expect this treatment from The Plaza . Unfortunately me and my family will not be returning.

Dissapointed to say the least. The sweet tea was terrible. Everyone at the table had to get something else. It was so loud you couldn't hear the person across from you. You actually had to wait for a lull to speak. The worst part. I had the chicken fajita salad bowl. I was sick for 4 days afterward. During Thanksgiving. I have visited several The Plaza restaurants over the years. While I've never been very impressed. This experience will make me never visit again.
