Plaza Mexican Grill

Plaza Mexican Grill isn't outstanding food or drink wise, BUT their daily specials are honestly a great deal. For $6 jumbo margs and $2 tacos, my partner and I came here for our weekly date almost every week this past summer. The al pastor and carnitas are our fav tacos, although the carnitas is sometimes a bit dry. The only one I recommend steering clear of is the shredded chicken, because it is VERY dry and flavorless. The daily specials are only listed on their website rather than the physical menu, so be sure to check that out before ordering. These daily specials are all day, not just the 4-7 happy hour. I personally don't think the food is worth getting without a discount. But the street taco, quesadilla, and marg deals are ones I come back for. Their home made sauces are great too.As mentioned in other reviews, they sometimes don't bring you chips and salsa without you asking, which I find weird. But if you ask, they shouldn't charge you.Plaza is right off OSU's south campus and easily accessible by the COTA bus line. In my opinion, it's a much much nicer place to drink margs and hang out than Cazuela's, DEFINITELY better quality food, and just as strict/lax in checking IDs.

Grreat food, service and drinks! Got the nachos loaded with beef and chicken super tasty.

Good tacos, but a bit slow. We had to wait for one of our dishes, but good overall. Tacos pastor and de carne both solid.

Plaza looks pretty crappy inside. It kind of smells too but they still have good margaritas. That's the main reason people go there. It also has a small food menu. The service is really annoying but get a drink and you will be okay. I like Mexican food a lot. It's hard to mess it up but they manage to do that. This is why you should get the margaritas and not even worry. It has a huge selection of flavors. They are $5 for a 21 ounce regular. It's a little more for a specialty flavor. The food looks like shit so don't get that. It has very few vegetarian options. The chips and guacamole is kind of bland other than being salty. Chips are about $3 when they should be free. It has such an annoying service process for a restaurant. They make you pay for drinks at the bar, then you have to order food at the checkout and pay for it separate. If you can get past the annoying service process you can have fun. If you can avoid the mediocre food you will be much more satisfied. The margaritas are cheap and you can't go wrong.

Husband had the worst Grubhub of his life. $18 burrito with no black beans, more than half rice, Lima beans, carrots, and dried out breaded chicken. DO NOT ORDER unless you're a fan of wasting money on shitty food. They also forgot his spinach dip. If 0 stars were an option...

Good food. Slow service if you're trying to get somewhere fast. Watched three other tables get their food who came in after us.

Ever since coming to Ohio State 3 years ago, I have been going frequently to Plaza Mexican Grill! Plaza is great for college students because they always have deals, discounts, and low prices. When I'm in the mood for a taco or queso, I always grab my friends and head to plaza. It is also a short walk from campus! All the employees remember me when my friends and I stop by, and its always a great experience! These chicken tacos were delicious and really surprised me with the flavor! Definitely worth checking out

Not just a bar! Plaza has delicious burrito bowls for $5 on Wednesdays and lots of drink deals. The waiters are very nice and fast. Great vibes on their outdoor patio! A classic place we love to go and that should be better known!

This is the best drunk food and I imagine just as good sober.... The margs are huge and delicious with so multiple flavors. The service is quick, easy to order. Chips and queso were in front of me within 3 minutes of sitting down and food was out within 10 minutes. Chicken quesadilla was delicious, burrito was replenishing, really not a single complaint. We visited after an OSU game and it was the perfect pick me up before a nap! I loved the queso and could eat an entire bowl myself. The crunchy chip bowl it comes in is edible and perfect to dip the access. Quick drinks and food. Happy drunk people. Plaza will always have a place in my heart.

0 stars my boyfriend got violently sick with food poisoning after having the steak fries and shrimp here. The place was filthy and disgusting would never recommend.
