Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or settling in for a satisfying meal, Plata's offers a diverse menu that caters to every craving, with an inviting atmosphere that feels both casual and welcoming.

The star of the show is undoubtedly their Breakfast Deluxe Burrito, a hearty and flavorful combination of egg, potatoes, cheese, beans, ham, and just the right amount of peppers to add a gentle kick. This burrito, made fresh and served alongside a cold drink, embodies the perfect balance of comfort and spice that leaves you feeling energized for the day ahead.

Meanwhile, the quesadilla selection – from cheesy to steak, veggie, or pork – adds another delicious layer to their extensive offerings.

One longtime customer fondly recalls the heartfelt service and fresh meals, while another remarks on the excellent value and quick service that make it an unbeatable stop for local and travelers alike.

    Food is always very good, fresh, and clean tasting. I always get the breakfast deluxe burrito that comes with a drink. The deluxe comes with egg, potatoes, cheese, beans, ham, and some peppers to give it a little spice. The negative about them is they're not open early enough in the morning. Years ago, they would be open very early for those of us whose work shift starts long before 8 am.
