"Yes, Plaza Fiesta on Buford Highway is the ultimate one-stop destination when you’re looking for quinceañera dresses, cowboy boots, and custom piñatas. But the food alone is worth the trip. Tropical Corner, our favorite stall here, serves chicken enchiladas with wonderfully thick housemade tortillas that hold up nicely under a mound of tangy salsa verde and melted white cheese. Grab solid ribs with a flame-grilled char from La Costilla Grille in the food court. And we dare you to find anywhere else in the city with more paleta flavors or churro fillings than in this mall." - jacinta howard, juli horsford
"At Plaza Fiesta (wedged between Clairmont and Buford Highway), you’ll find everything from soccer jerseys and lacey quinceañera dresses to cell phone cases and cowboy boots. But even if you aren't shopping for any of that, the food at this mall is alone worth the trip. Tropical Corner, our favorite stall here, serves chicken enchiladas with wonderfully thick tortillas that they make fresh daily. And those housemade tortillas hold up nicely under a mound of tangy salsa verde and melted white cheese. At Churros Mi Tierra, the sugary fried spirals come stuffed with more than seven choices of filling (we like the caramel best). And the food court offers a big variety of things—solid ribs with a flame-grilled char, and cheesy birria tacos, which are messy enough to give you a good reason to buy a clean shirt on the way out." - Jacinta Howard
"There’s so much to see, eat, and do in Plaza Fiesta that it’s a day trip all in itself. Dozens of shops and stalls offer everything from Western wear and soccer shoes, to jewelry, artwork, and vintage video games. There’s a huge arcade and entertainment area for kids, and come hungry because you’ll want to try as many of the food court vendors as possible. Pro tip: try the mixed carnitas at the very-tucked-away Carnitas Michoacan, and wash it down with a verde smoothie from Cien% Natural." - Field UX
"Enter through blue arches with bright red letters and you step into a buzzing, colorful shopping center that serves as the heart of Atlanta’s Latino community, where families stroll under papel picado, music drifts from stalls, and the air is filled with carne asada, pan dulce, and churros. The market has been a home away from home for Latinos for more than 25 years, spans roughly 350,000 square feet with about 280 stalls, welcomes around 3 million visitors a year, is open seven days a week, and hosts free monthly cultural events that help preserve Latino traditions and art." - Daniela Cintron
"A Buford Highway institution, Plaza Fiesta is filled with over 140 retail shops and a food court offering everything from tortas, tamales, goat barbacoa, and tacos to classic Mexican seafood dishes, and even Venezuelan fare. There’s a stall serving fresh juices and a farmers market here, too. Grab food from multiple stalls at Plaza Fiesta to create a festival of dishes for the table." - Eater Staff
