La-Plaza-Tapatia

Wow! Astonishing variety of Hispanic foods; phenomenal selection of meats, poultry and fish; and unbelievable cakes and bakery items. Such fun to explore. Ground chuck that we bought made excellent chili. Check it out...right across from Hollywood Casino.

La-Plaza Tapatia to the moon!!! (Rocket Emoji times three.)It may seem a stretch to theme a side eatery attached to a Mexican grocery to the latest stock market craze but considering that this amazing stonk of a place hangs inside the shadow of Hollywood casino--'casino' an apt word for the market has become--the metaphor is germane; the grub here is the most bullish buy on the Mexicana scene--it is the best Broad Street bet in the eastside market. (Cue the Cathy Wood thumbnail.)I came here to meet fellow swing trader Mike G to lord over him my Plug Power winnings porn and his lack of following my picks. Lol. This restaurant was his idea, and I, usually bearish on Mexican food, have decided to diversify my palate portfolio and agreed. As said this place is on East Broad behind a highly volatile parking lots; lots of ups and down with the potholes but the savvy gormandizer knows to buy the dips and have diamond hands to reach the eventual trendies inside. You'll find this joint just inside the grocery store that has that 1970s style.The moat on this play is its authenticity--this isn't El Vaquero, that diluted float of Americanized Mexican made to list on the NYSE--this is the real stuff. Its menu is in Espanol--so if you can't read that romantic language then you should lay off the action and invest in the Americanized ETFs. Tapatia refers to the city of Guadalajara; whether this means the food here is made in that tradition is outside my chart analysis.The inside is clean with loads of space. The service has high liquidity, and you will get filled quick. Both Mike and I had the Chimichanga. We both chose the pollo over carne for the protein. The chicken was so tasty and cooked exactly right. It comes with the traditional sides of refried beans, fresh Guacamole, and the reddest fried rice you will ever see outside your daily Robinhood status report. It is very filling and so come hungry and ready to eat, this isn't the place for low margin stomachs. And at the price of $11 it will not short squeeze your wallet either. The beer prices here are high; but that's ok, with everything else here being good the store deserves a little premium.So TL;DR: I like the restaurant. If you're on East Broad and ready to invest in a good meal, put a bid in here. Buy the call, sell the put--the probability of a profitable eat is high.Disclaimer: I am not a food advisor, make sure you do your own research before investing in any food.

What is there to say about this store expect it has just about everything you'll need. It feels a lot bigger inside compared to looking at it on the outside. I grabbed a few of the cake and doughnuts and some eggs for the moment but I'll be back in here again pretty soon to do major shopping. The meat selection was incredible and I wanna try their seasoned chicken. I also wouldn't mind checking out their ice cream selection sometime. This store is better of seen, rather than reading reviews. You'll enjoy it.

2nd time here, I very much enjoy the restaurant, great food options and very friendly staff. Prices are reasonable. I'll be back there are many entrees to try here.

AN ENTHUSIASTIC 5 STARS and one of my favorite places in the city. I can't believe some of the other weak reviews.This is my favorite - by far - Mexican grocery in the city. Clean, wide aisles, friendly people, and a FANTASTIC meat department with great, fresh meats at ridiculously cheap prices.The restaurant is also REALLY, REALLY GOOD.There is a woman behind the counter making fresh tortillas by hand - she starts with fresh dough, presses them flat in a hand press, and grills them on a flattop. They're absolutely delicious tortillas, and it's hard to find fresh, house-made tortillas in Columbus.We had the Molcajete Mixto for 2 - a ridiculous amount of incredibly delicious grilled steak, pork chops, chicken, chorizo, and big shrimps. For $28.99 it would have fed 4 people. A great bargain, and a delicious meal.We'll be back, soon. Until then I'll crave the restaurant, and wish I'd made purchases at the meat counter...

I Love this International market !!! They have delicious made to go dishes, which you can also eat there on the patio ! Fresh produce, a great meat counter , fresh local made tortillas, a nice cheese counter and a delicious bakery filled with the best pastries !If you haven't been you should ! You can even enjoy a cocktail before you shop outside on the patio or at the bar ! The store is kept very clean, great customer service and all staff seem to follow Covid Policies ! #supportlocal

Delicious! I ordered the pork cooked on a huge skewer with a pineapple on top and it was scrumptious delicious! Excited to go back and perhaps visit their restaurant.

I was so excited for my neighborhood, The Hilltop, to be given the opportunity to have a brand new Plaza.Definitely not impressedYes, it is clean and new. Yes, I will guess that there are Kinks to work out.However, many many products throughout the store were not priced. I am not fluent in Spanish, and you do not have to be, to shop and enjoy the experience here. However, I admit that I wondered when I got to the register did I, not being Hispanic, get charged different prices dance someone who is Hispanic on those items that were not priced inside the store. I know that's a negative thought however I felt uneasy that's so many products were on priced.The knot pricing items became very frustrating when at some of the deli type counter you got things and didn't realize how expensive they were until you got to the register.I am cautious that my skepticism on things are also negatively influencing the economic structures and Hispanic families if they shop here

A little pricey for everyday shopping but definitely worth it for authentic and hard to find Hispanic spices a food specialties. Great bakery and meat/fish market.

Amazing! I drove in from out of town to see family and was able to stop by and stock up!
