La Plaza Supermarket - Cleveland

The food is always fresh and they carry all those hard to find ingredients. Butcher is real knowledgeable and often gives recipe tips as well! One of our favourite stores to shop at

Quick lunch counter for made to order tacos, burritos, and other items. Tacos are corn tortilla with meat and toppings are available at the self serve station. Not fancy just delicious.

Sunday afternoons have quickly turned into a prime time to explore new places with friends. I had been eyeing this place for a while, so after church one day my friends and I ventured there for lunch. This is one of the most authentic places I have been. Not for the faint of heart, it really helps knowing your Spanish. The store is filled with authentic Mexican produce, spices, meats, cheese, dry goods, baked goids, and treats. In the back is where you can order food to either take with you or dine inside. It isn't pretty: it was a bit dirty. This place focuses on the product, not the aesthetics. I am willing to sacrifice that for a taste of authenticity. The staff are very friendly, and I get the impression they appreciate it when adventurous people venture in for the first time. For my lunch I enjoyed Chorizo and AlPastor tacos with a Guava soda and Elote. The tacos were spicy and delicious. There is a condiment bar so you can dress them however you would like (Cilantro, Pico de Gallo, Guacamole, etc). The soda is sweet and refreshing. I was disappointed with the Elote. It was canned corn in a cup with the Cheese, Butter, and Mayo. Not particularly good. I would much rather have fresh. Too often I feel people settle for the comfort of standard texmex restaurants with massive margaritas and Americanized food. For those who want a real, authentic taste of Mexican food and culture, this is the place!

Very cool Mexican grocery store. Went in to pick up some tacos to-go and ended up throwing quite a few other interesting goodies in my cart. BTW, the tacos were awesome!

A great Hispanic supermarket with pretty much anything you could reasonably be looking for. But let's be honest, the real reason to come here is the prepared tacos and burritos. During a trip to San Diego I had a life changing Taco moment when eating REAL tacos for the first time at a small chain based in Tiajuana. After returning home I knew I had to find authentic tacos in Cleveland. After much searching I found La Plaza. These tacos are so good with freshly grilled meat, toasted soft double corn shells, a toppings bar with all the onions, cilantro, lime, guac, and salsas you could ask for. After adding some house made tortilla chips or chicharrones and a Mexican soda made with real sugar, I don't know how it could be much better. The prices are pretty reasonable as well. Get the Tacos El Pastor, you won't be disappointed. As an added bonus, in the summer they move a food cart out in front of the store and grill up everything there in the fresh air and sunshine.
