Imperial Restaurant & Market Placentia Reviews
Update: Second time here and can't believe it took me almost a year to come back. Great taco Tuesday deals (check my pictures for $ and tacos packed with meat), daily specials, great service. Called & they had food ready by the time I was there. Very friendly. A little stingy on the salsas since I also got a torta & they didn't add any. The next day when I went for tacos I had to be specific & get it on the side. I think maybe because they also sell it? I just read that that's what happened last time I went too but still great tasting food. Definitely not going to wait so long to come back! Original post: Fast friendly service. Ordered to go. Food was ready. Check sauces before you leave. No chips or sauces in bag unlike most restaurants in that block. Great tasting food.
Good food, great service.

My daughter found this restaurant/store on Yelp and I'm glad she did. My wife and I had the Carne Asada burrito with green sauce and I was all in from the first bite! I will definitely go back again and try something different that will be just as delicious! Also very friendly and fast service!
I’ve only really been here for their breakfast burritos, but every time you get any of their breakfast burritos all of them are very very good
Nice place to eat. The Thursday special is fish tacos. Excellent!! Friendly service and good prices. I’ll be back (In Arnold’s voice)
Friendly service, great flavor, and big portions. Prices are very reasonable. Fish tacos are awesome, get them with extra chipotle sauce, and if you like menudo or pozole, well... don't hesitate to order some.
This place has the BEST chicken tacos ever! The salsa tastes like it came from heaven. The caldo is always warm and made with prime pieces of meat / seafood. The rice and beans are delicious. The tortas are huuuuge and theyRe amazing. The machaca is the best local machaca I’ve had!!! The employees are so so sweet, and they’re always top of their service! My favorite restaurant ever. Love love love love.
Love this place would always come here with my grandma Irene and her sisters and our cousins from placenta. So yummy and a warm feeling. The food is delish and tastes just like my grams would make.
Favorite home town restaurant! The food, staff, and atmosphere always feel like home. I love that I can stock up on herbs, spices, and other groceries while I wait for my food or after we eat. If you are looking for AUTHENTIC Mexican food, this is the spot to go on this block.
Food was great. Down there for my brother's funeral. Grew up in the same small town. Food was so good. Everyone had Mexican except me. I had a burger and fries. Even that was good. Reasonably priced. If you're in the area, drop in. Just might be surprised.
A little hole in the wall kind of restaurant, sharing space with a grocery market on one side... I cannot say good enough things about the food and quality service! A family owned business at its best, all menu items at affordable prices!! My favorite it the fish tacos and their freshly deep fried chips served with their specialty salsa. Chips are ayce if dining in and charged if to-go. An awesome place to visit whether you're on or off the budget!!
I just had the best tacos I've had in I don't know how long. Great service, great price, good seating options. Will definitely be returning whenever I'm in the area. Highly, highly recommend!! (Next time I'll try to remember to take photos)
My review is on the meat market in the back. That's the real hidden gem. Always fresh and delicious and fine cuts of meat. Far, far better than Northgate and other grocery stores. High quality is what I see and the butcher is very helpful and friendly. Thank you Imperial for offering this.
I was born and raised around corner..I would pass this place hundreds of times and never bother going in..well I was really surprised of this place...the food in this place was really good...the service was also very good..and the selections of alcoholic beverages, beers, wine and soft drinks was superb...also has a mini market..with many choices of fruits, vegetables, and Mexican specialities..this place is definitely worth a visit..
Go here all the time during work lunch. The staff is the same for years. The prices of specials, especially taco Tuesday, are ridiculously low but the food is great. My favorites are guac, tacos, and their tortas. Service is great.
The food is excellent and very affordable!! Me and my family love coming here!
Hole in the wall market with a restaurant. I tried the asada sopes and was surprised at how good they were.

The cashier charged me for two bags, but I only used one.

The chicken mole was good. The beans had a bad soapy taste so I did not eat them. The salsa was mild which is what I like. The corn tortillas and chips where average. The Spanish rice was good. The price point was inexpensive. The service was good but would I go back no. I would get mole again but I would go somewhere else.

Very very good. $1.50 Taco Tuesday was the bomb. I tried the carne asada, carnitas and Al pastor. Everything was perfect. Salsa is great too. Awesome customer service. Will be back for the tamales. -update next time I was here the meat was old and dry and smelled like dog food. I can’t come back after this.
