You may have trouble finding this gem off of Cerillos, but you should not miss the Plaza Cafe Southside. We were expecting an old-school diner with a jukebox and standard diner fare! Boy, were we pleasantly surprised.
First of all, it is a large well-lit...dining room with many interesting items of decor. Next, it is colorful and cheery. The waitstaff is very friendly, efficient, and attentive. Our young waiter anticipated our every need.
The menu was extensive with many standard options and an extensive list of specials.
I had the avocado toast. Don't underestimate this seemingly simple dish! It was a large piece of Texas toast covered in a thick layer of avocado, topped with spring greens, boiled egg, red onion, and a generous sprinkling of feta cheese. It was a fabulous meal. See image. My husband, who is a fish taco aficionado, had the crispy fish tacos. He says they are there best he had ever had. See image.
We highly recommend this "out-of-the-ordinary" cafe.More
