La Plancha - Saint Simons Island

YUM LaPlancha features a burger and wings theme for game nights. I ordered the smash burger to go for my family, and let me tell you, it was amazing! The burger came with a spicy salsa/mayo sauce and crispy home fries, all served on a fresh bun. I'd definitely order it again, five times over. I also enjoyed a skinny margarita while visiting with a friend for takeout. Oh, and I can't forget to mention the short rib taco—it's a true labor of love with the slow-cooked attention it receives. I hadn't been in a while, but after visiting twice recently, I remember exactly why I need to go back soon. This place is definitely not your average Mexican restaurant, with both indoor and outdoor seating available!

The large salsa and queso are indeed quite generous in size. I ordered the burrito without sour cream, but it only contained rice and shrimp, with perhaps a little cheese.

This is not your average Mexican restaurant. The salsa is tasty—slightly sweet and not too spicy, yet it complements the dishes perfectly. I ordered the rib burrito, and it was fantastic. The beef was tender, and the flavors blended beautifully. The quesadillas also looked amazing, and my dining companions who had them assured me they were just as good. I highly recommend this place!

Service: Dine-in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Rating: Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 I highly recommend trying the Traditional Tacos, Black Beans and Rice, Elotes, Fish Tacos, and Shrimp Tacos!

Tacos aimed at a predominantly white clientele. The food was fresh, and the restaurant was clean. The short rib taco was delicious, but the rice and beans were a bit bland and could have used some salt. The frozen margarita was enjoyable as well, but I was surprised to have to pay for chips and salsa. That didn’t sit well with me. On the bright side, the service was incredibly fast; our food arrived just three minutes after we ordered. However, the atmosphere was louder than I anticipated, as there was a Georgia Bulldog game on. Overall, I had dinner there.
