I was craving a quesadilla while doing some shopping on the East side and found this quaint little spot along East Main Street. La Loteria has been open about a year according to the employee who took my order. When you approach the restaurant, be sure to drive slowly because it's easy to overlook. The strip mall where it's situated is a bit difficult to access and exit as well. Inside, the dining area is bright with vibrant, cheerful colors and artwork. There are a few small booths for 2 person groups and a couple of larger tables for groups more than 2. The menu is located near the ordering window and birria appeared to be a showcase item across several different preparations. Now, to dive into my meal. First, I could immediately tell the quesadilla was filled to the brim with delicious barbacoa, cheese, cilantro, and radish as a garnish. I was also given a mild green sauce, sour cream, and a fiery and smoky red sauce. To add a bit more protein to the mix, I ordered a side of refried beans. The portion was fantastic for the price and I appreciated that they came plain without cheese added in. My reason for rating my experience as a 4 instead of a 5 is that the quesadilla was a bit too messy for my taste. The barbacoa was so rich and fatty that it was difficult to hold the quesadilla and the tortilla became soggy. I ultimately ended up scooping the filling out and eating it with my sauces and toppings on its own. Overall though, this seems Iike a solid place for Mexican food on the East side. I'll be trying other items on their menu.

Great food hit the spot late night after the Franklin Conservatory. Food looked and smelled so good I forgot to take pictures as I couldn't wait to dig in.

Finally found authentic delicious Mexican food. The only problem is that it's a little pricey, but I don't mind paying because it's so good.

Tender beef inside birria taco and 'consamay' was not included. Very affordable price. Restaurant is small and there are no restrooms. Parking in front is very limited but extra parking is available on the side of building. Customer service was very good.

My first review. 10/10. Have had La Loteria a few times now. First heard about them from someone working at Dos Hermanos. Which anyone in Columbus knows is generally the measuring stick. As authentic as it gets. As good as it gets. Tortas are unbelievable. Soft bread. Tender meat. Chorizo, Pastor tacos are top notch. Asado is perfectly spicy.
