Great food , live music on Friday. Dude had a ton of stamina and a wide range. Definitely pleased for a Mexican restaurant. I’d give it a 4.6 or 4.7

Holy sheit! Get the burrito rancheros and a flan. I have had Mexican from Texas to Virginia and many of those places can't touch this little hole in the wall beside Shell gas station it is the best Mexican In Clarkesville and even Nashville I haven't found one to top the flavor of the food this one has yet. I mean... damn, its so good. Plus their large cheese dip is the size of your head, and its creamy and fantastic

We have lived in Clarksville a little over a year. We have tried numerous Mexican restaurants since living here. LA Plaza is BY FAR the best! The food is always hot and fresh. It has a relaxing atmosphere. I always get the chimichangas and my husband gets the street tacos. Everything is DELICIOUS and we always have plenty for the next day.

Had the BEST shrimp tacos here that I’ve had in my life. The salsa is delicious and the vibe inside is nice! Live music was nice too. Will definitely be back and recommend to everyone!

Great tasting food. Great friendly service. There's even outdoor seating along the river. Hadn't been there in years, but I think I'm going to be regular now.
