"Tucked away in a corner close to two awkwardly placed stoplights is a little Mexican gem with tight parking on an incline. But all of that doesn 't take away from what Plaza Garcia has to offer. If you are looking for superior customer service and great food at a reasonable (inflation adjusted price, this is it. On a hot summer day after a trip to the Juanita Friday market, we decided to grab some dinner even though it felt early bird(ish . The corn on the cob and the Salvadorian Horchata that we consumed at the market generated a kind of half empty half full hunger. We had driven by Plaza Garcia enough times to not ignore the 100% reopening and the packed tables. We caved! A decision that proved right I would say. We were seated right away and offered the traditional salsa and tortilla chips. We asked for hot salsa and the waitstaff got us 2 (a tomatillo and a chili . Very tasty and what can you say when you are offered seconds given that we ordered the Molcajete which does take time to make. We also got the vegetarian burrito. We were quite pleased with the Molcajete served with flour tortillas even though we could not figure out where the Nopales were hiding. Some of the best grilled meats and seafood. The rice and beans did not stand out as much...sort of like La Preferida if you know what I mean. The vegetarian burrito was decent though it lacked sauce on the bottom which would have really enhanced the flavor. Overall, a great experience and am sure it wasn 't the hunger writing this review : If you are looking to support small businesses, Plaza Garcia deserves your best shot."

"Drove 45 mins to come to Lady Yum after getting a recommendation from a friend, and it was totally worth it! I don 't remember the last time I had good French Macarons was, so I was really looking forward to this. The options of flavors was just unbelievable! We had some really nice seasonal ones still related to fruit like percussion fruit, lavender, watermelon, peach. And then all the regular ones like th vanilla, espresso, strawberry, chocolate, oatmeal cookie, toffee, raspberry chardonnay, salted caramel. I went for the Vanilla bean and the Raspberry Chardonnay and they were just beyond amazing! The shells were just perfectly fresh and crispy, and a really beautiful filling as well! The vanilla was simple and perfect and I think I might even have like that the most! The raspberry was perfectly sweet as well and even had a jam filling on the inside. Such a beauty! My friend got the Almond Peach Prosecco , Wild Strawberry and Raspberry Chardonnay as well, and really loved them all! I tried both first two as well and they were really nice. Very fruit-y! Another friend had the Salted Caramel and the Wild Strawberry, and all she had to say was 'Oh My God ' on repeat! Even mention how these are beyond any other macarons she has ever had before! The store has a really cute aesthetic vibe; very photogenic! The person working at the counter was really nice as well. We really connected on our understanding of keeping a palate when having desserts; especially after I mentioned I have a food blog. She also have us extra macaroons from the ones that weren 't pretty enough to make the cut for sale, but we 're still good. 100 a must try!"
