La Plaza Taqueria

Tacos are $5 each and there is a topping bar Patio in front as well as seating inside (Weird that there are no prices for anything on the menu board)

The food was good, so why give five stars you ask? Because, look at my photo - the tacos cost $4 instead of the $3 I pay at most places, but you get an incredible amount of steak!!! They FILL your tacos with steak. And the other reason is the condiments bar - you put what you want! From onions, cilantro and tasty salsa to guacamole and cream, plus, all the pickled jalapeños you want! If you like steak tacos, then this is a "must try" destination. It's located inside of a Mexican grocery store. Staff is friendly, service is FAST! No complaints really.

Came here a little while ago with some friends, and I'm glad we went! Situated right next to a supermarket, it's a little restaurant with ample seating. The tacos are prepared with just the shell and the meat, and then there's a "salad bar" type situation for all the toppings - queso, guac, cilantro, etc. The tacos were great, though I really don't have anything specific to say about each meal in particular. I also got a side of guac and chips. One of my friends got a sandwich-type meal, and I can't say I remember what it was called. We also all got horchata - which was tasty but weirdly lukewarm. Overall, a pleasant experience, and a good place to grab tacos with friends.

Food so good that my taste buds are still buzzing an hour later. Love the salsa bar to personalize everything to taste. The elote in a cup was a warm hug of flavor. Every single meat I tried was cooked perfectly and seasoned to the point that each bite made me drop my hand and go into a euphoric haze as I savored each flavor.

Although I was aware of this original location for years, I had never had a chance to visit because on my trips to Cleveland, it was never close enough to stop by. Coincidentally, I happened to be in Amherst during the grand opening week of their second location. I had recently tried barbacoa for the first time at a different "national" establishment, so that was what I chose. I arrived earlier in the day, so the meat and sides were very fresh. The barbacoa was so tender and flavorful that I was kicking myself for never trying it before. It was like someone's grandma was in the kitchen. Fast forward to my recent trip to the original location because I finally was within 7 minutes away. I chose to once again order barbacoa tacos with rice and beans as before. On this trip, it was later in the day, which may account for why the meat on this visit was flavorful, but not nearly as tender as before because it seems to have been sitting longer than before. What I forgot to mention is that on the first trip, I ordered the food carryout and drove 65 minutes or more home, keeping the food heated with my heated seats. On the second trip, I ordered carryout and kept the food heated in my Doordash bag and heated seats for a 30-minute trip home, and the first order was still WAY better. In their defense, I understand that everyone can have an off day when preparing food, and surprisingly, when I took them out of the fridge the next day and reheated them, they were better than the first day. I plan to visit again earlier in the day this time to ensure that I receive it as fresh as possible. The chicken taco and tamale dinners were ordered by my son and granddaughter, and they enjoyed them at both locations. (Pics are from first visit)

La Plaza is impressive. It’s a grocery store with a restaurant attached to it. I visited for the first time. When I walked in, the older male made me feel so welcome. He guided me through the menu and recommended food and dessert. Everyone had a great attitude. I got chicken tamales. The food was so flavorful. They had kinds of sauces to pick from. The rice and beans were delicious. I will definitely go back and recommend to friends and family. If this review is helpful please leave a thumbs up 👍🏿 thanks

Prices seemed to have increased since our last visit. A bit expensive but still worth it for the most authentic Mexican food I've been able to find here in Ohio. We will not be able to come/eat as often as I'd like but know where we are going to aim to go when we want to treat ourselves. Recommend you give this place a try!

Pretty legit Mexican food here! I travel to Houston a lot and it’s nice to see a place like this up in Cleveland. I think I was the only English speaking customer as well. Food came out fast and there’s a salad bar type station where you load up whatever you want on top. Great lunch spot.
