Quintanas De La Plaza: Reviews & Ratings
Excellent service. Among the best I ever had. The food was very very tasty. Gotta love the complimentary nachos and salsa that they make in house. The food was hot, the dessert was very tasty. You couldn't ask for a nicer experience. We will be back and I recommend the speciality coffees..
Food is always delicious, and they have a wonderful selection of artisan drinks. Menu is full of authentic Mexican cuisine! A spicy delight in Newfoundland!
I’m changing my review because the next time we went with my friend, the food and drinks were much better! I order tacos, and we had a pitcher of Margaritas! So yummy! (Past review: 3 stars. I’d recommend the margaritas and sangria but not the food in general! The burritos did not have any greens, and the salsa was not fresh. The taco was ok!)
Great Mexican restaurant. Authentic. Cozy. Appropriately priced. Excellent food, and super friendly and accommodating staff. Non spicy/hot options for those of us who can't have. The owner Adam really knows what he's doing and goes above and beyond. Everyone should try this place!
This place is a gem! I wanted to sit and enjoy a family meal that I did not have to prep and serve. I was not disappointed! We took 3 kids under 12 to eat on a Saturday night. We did make a reservation and I recommend doing so, because even at 7:30pm the place was quite busy. We received the complimentary nachos and salsa, and ordered the paquitos combo platter as an app which were devoured by everyone in minutes! Only the 8 year old ordered from the kids menu, getting the burrito and it was the right size. The food was hot, served quite quickly, and there was not a single complaint from any one of us! We even took it the whole way and ordered dessert. Let's just say everyone had a taste of each others! Chocolate eruption cake (I'm drooling thinking of it), deep fried ice cream, cheesecake and benuelos, yummy. We were stuffed and our palates were so satisfied nobody ate another bite for the entire night! App, 5 meals, 5 desserts and drinks for all cost 200. Totally worth every penny--I just hope the tip matched our experience!
My children and I went for lunch, for my sons birthday. The service was excellent. Food was awesome. I'll definitely visit again:)
Absolutely delicious with excellent service. The frozen margarita was watered down and tasted overly sweet. The queso was the closest to authentic dip I’ve had here in Newfoundland. The sampler plate was heavy on the fried food, but still a good mix. The Mexican flag enchiladas were different with the raisins/almonds topped on, but it was surprisingly tasty. Overall about as close to authentic Mexican food as can be made at a restaurant here.
It was delicious! I loved the food and the atmosphere is very Mexican. Nice place. Recommend for sure
