Plaza Oaxaca - Authentic Mexican Bar in Rockville, MD

My friend and I were looking for a family-friendly spot to eat with our three-year-olds and our puppy, and we were thrilled to find a restaurant with outdoor seating. I ordered the huevos rancheros and three breakfast tacos, both of which were fantastic--definitely a 10/10! What really stood out was the service. The waiter brought out water for our puppy without us even asking, which was such a thoughtful gesture. It's those small acts of kindness that make a big difference. The prices were fair, too. I'll definitely be returning and highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great meal in a welcoming atmosphere! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Stopped by on a night out with friends after hearing the music from outside. This has become our new Friday night routine. They're open late, have great drinks, music, and friendly staff. If you're looking for a good mix of reggaeton, bachata, and salsa music, come visit after 11pm!

I popped into Plaza Oaxaca on a whim for lunch, and was promptly seated at the bar. They brought out a basket of chips and salsa, which I thought were both very good. The salsa isn't your typical red chunks of tomato stuff, but a well mixed, dark type. My main was the fajitas, which came out on an overly hot, sizzling plate. The chicken was laid over the typical fajita vegetables, with a pepper on top, and a separate plate with the beans, yellow rice, guacamole, all that. It was really good, though I will say that the tortillas that came with it were absolutely tiny -- the pieces of chicken didn't even fit on them. I'm also used to fajita tortillas being about 6" across, and these were 3-4", kind of standard for tacos. No big deal. The restaurant was taking advantage of the beautiful weather we had, and open to the rest of the square. It was very relaxing, with music that wasn't loud. I would definitely go back!

The lunch mix and match tacos option allowed me to explore so much more of the menu I normally would! We got several: Suadero, Shrimp (Marinated Shrimp with Aioli Dressing and Coleslaw), Barbacoa, Cordero, Chapulines, Fish (Tempura Fried Mahi-Mahi with Avocado Ranch and Coleslaw), Nopales, Pulpo (Grilled Octopus with Pickled Onions and Cilantro) and Chicken tacos. We also got the Tres Leches for dessert and it was scrumptious. This was a carry-out order, but the restaurant is in a very large space, decorated well, and even offers outdoor seating. The food was ready at the stand with my name during my lunch visit. I didn't interact with staff (the floor was empty) so I left with my food after waiting about five minutes in the restaurant. Everything was packed well, but it was difficult to tell the tacos apart from each other. It was all delicious though!

Cute interior, nice happy hour. I came here with a group and it wasn't busy inside the restaurant. Our server was ok, a little too slow and inattentive being that there weren't a lot of other customers inside. All of our food orders were enjoyed. I loved the HH pastor tacos and the tamale de rajas was spicy but good. We all had various cocktails, mostly margaritas and we enjoyed them all. There were a few orders of the platters and multiple tacos - no complaints and I would come back.
