Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We usually eat here a few times a month, normally get take out. For us, it's just overwhelmingly loud inside, you can hardly hold a conversation at the table, and definitely not if you have a larger group. That said, when we've eaten in, the...staff is amazing and attentive. No detail slips past them and they are just super nice. A good mark of a restaurant is consistent service, and I think they really take pride in training and customer service. They also have followed strict covid protocols, and I'm sure they've probably had to deal with rude customers because they do. Now, the food: There are a couple things I've tried like the quesadilla that really wasn't that great. My husband always orders a number 1. My favorite by far is their pork tamales. Just the perfect balance of flavors and textures. I also love their beans, rich and creamy. Not a fan of their rice, it lacks a little flavor. They have a fantastic drink selection both alcohol and non. Owatonna has several choices for Mexican food, skip the others, you won't be disappointed in this one.More

Meals were very good, staff very accommodating. Rosa, our server brought extra green salsa at our request happily. The salsa verde is better than the red salsa

Ordered Chicken Fajitas. Chicken was awful in big chunks no seasoning whatsoever. Very bland. Veggies very under cooked. No sizzle at all. Much better Fajitas at Don Juans. We won’t be back. Service was ok.

Food is great! Wait staff is helpful and friendly. Portions are plentiful, you don’t leave hungry. Jose keeps things running smoothly. Definitely recommend giving Plaza a try.

Lovely Mexican setting in north Owatonna, a couple minutes off the highway. Opening drinks were accompanied by a basket of nacho chips. Our Mexican choiced meals were both excellent--did notice they have a few "American" menu offerings as well. Service was quick and helpful. Fully...wheelchair accessible.More

Owatonna is limited in dining choices which always make it easy to choose Plaza. Good food, good service, good prices. Always enjoy the chicken fajitas. Free chips are always a plus as well.

So we found this place on TA. Xavier was our server. He was personable and attentive. We ordered the large cheese dip to shave. Tasty. I had a steak burrito with cheese which was on the ala carte menu. I would definitely order it again...and I would recommend it. My husband had the veggie fajitas. Plenty of tasty onions, green peppers, broccoli and yellow squash. He would have rather had mushrooms than the broccoli and squash but it all was cooked perfectly and tasted good as an alternative to meats which his diet doesn’t allow much of.More

Food was good, but I am not a fan of restaurants that are open floor plan...all one big room. Poor acoustically so it was difficult to visit.

Plaza Morena has been one of our favorite restaurants for many years. The waitresses and waiters are always so friendly and pleasant. The food is delicious, and prepared while you wait for your order. We have never had bad service at the Plaza. They are...accommodating for small groups as well as for individuals and couples.More

Great food here. Reasonable prices especially for lunch. Special price on Burgers on Wed. is fantastic. Get mine with the red potatoes and always have enough for another meal at home.

Fresh and authentic Mexican food! On our most recent visit, we arrived at just the right time for $5 jumbo margaritas, the perfect accompaniment to our meal. Our waiter was friendly and had a fantastic memory! He carried no notepad, yet he remembered that details...of 10 different people's orders and where to bring them. The food arrives sizzling hot and so delicious!More

One hour wait for a burger and fries, burger was raw and cold so I sent it back. New burger and fries.. again raw. Now I'm reduced to snacking on the fries and our waitress informed me she had to remove my plate. This was...by far the worst food and hospitality I have ever seen. I will never eat at any Plaza Morena again and I will be sure to tell anyone who will listen not to waste their time there. One star because zero isn't an option.More
