Established by Manuel and Nellie Amabisca, La Placita opened its doors on May 17th, 1962 and has served quality Mexican food to the residents of Buckeye, Arizona ever since. The original building has been expanded and remodeled to accommodate more dining rooms, a lounge, an art gallery, and space for catered events. Current owner Joe and his wife Barbara Amabisca have taken over where his parents have left off and La Placita Cafe has continued to be the gathering place where family and friends can come together to visit and eat the family recipes created by Nellie and Manuel Amabisca. La Placita serves to go orders and rents out great room for catered private parties.
