“ An incredible place! The decor is amazing, our server Carissa was welcoming, and the food was plentiful and delicious. Really happy we found this gem while visiting Syracuse. Would have gone twice if we had been able to fit it into our schedule! ”
“ Really nice place. Clean. Good food. Friendly service. Reasonable prices. My wife and I spoke with our server a little bit. Her name is Dorie, and she was professional and genuinely friendly. She shared a lot about the owners and the history of how they ended up opening in Syracuse. They food is all made in-house and is fresh and delicious. Their salsa was amazing, and we bought a separate tub of it to take home. They spice the food slightly heavier than other Mexican restaurants in the area. Not more hot necessarily, just more flavor (cilantro, pepper, lime, etc, which was really good. The drinks were good. Strong and well crafted. They are reletively new to the area. They'll do fine here. Will definitely be coming back. ”
“ Came in for a quick lunch for the second time! Was greeted by friendly staff and was immediately served.. I ordered the fiesta salad and made a few accommodations like ( adding rice and cilantro). Staff made sure it was communicated to the kitchen properly. The dish came out absolutely amazing and was exactly what I was hoping for. Will be back!!! ”
“ My sister, her husband and I went here for dinner. We were seated promptly and our server came over, introduced herself and took our drink order. Chips and salsa came with our drinks. Mike ordered the Burrito Diablo while Lisa and I ordered chicken and steak fajitas. I was able to substitute extra rice for the beans. Our came quickly and was hot and delicious. Prices were reasonable. The manager checked in with us to make sure all was well. As we left, the manager and several other staff wished us a pleasant evening. Great dining experience. Will go here again. ”

“ Plaza Grande is super easy to recommend. The only question you have to answer is, do you like food? If you answered yes, you can stop reading here, if you need more convincing the rest of this will be for you. It's in a plaza, which is great, lots of parking. It's big, clean, beautiful with lots of seating. Music loud enough to hear and quiet enough to forget it is playing. Staff was kind, service was prompt and the food was delicious. Lots of fun drinks with plenty of margaritas to choose from. And the 2 we had were quite tasty and smooth. My wife who doesn't like margaritas, this is the only place she will intentionally order them! You will get chips and salsa to start, which are great on their own. We added guac which was great and they have other dipping options as well. Meals, my wife got a combo and I got the Fajitas and everything was cooked to perfection! I was a huge fan of how plump and juicy the shrimp were. For dessert some fresh out the over churros with vanilla ice cream was the perfect way to cap the evening. If you didn't believe me before and for some reason still don't, then just go try for yourself! Enjoy!! ”
