I visited the Colombian restaurant in the food court. The food was fresh, high quality and the portions were large. I ordered seafood rice (mussels, squid, octopus, scallops, shrimp). The seafood was cooked perfectly (none of it was chewy), and was fresh. My side salad was crisp. The cashier was very nice and patient with me.The market is rustic and needs repairs. The floors were dirty and there were cracks in the walls. The bathroom was dirty as well.
This place has good vendors, my favorite the juice stand , the Salvadorian stand and the Peruvian, but reality is that it needs some major repairs to star with the entrance my God it is very bad fill with potholes and inside needs a better outlook all together I do understand this is their business but it has to be a lot better and cleaner , personally I have been there 4 times and really the prices are crazy when you can eat somewhere else for less money and much cleaner a soup for almost 20 bucks???? I really don't mind paying for food but it needs to recheck they're prices and cleanliness.
the food is good most u can pay with cash only and a little bit pricey but the place has a vibe. yes the restaurant area is dirty the washroom not maintained and a parking lot need some renovation but that's how is central and south american country's. I visited south american country's so to me was no problem to be enjoying the place. all together how is everything give you back the latin amerikan vibes. I felt im back to Peru, Salvador, and Mexico. good memories come back. I love you latin amerikaiak
If your looking for latino flavor from all different places in south America, this is the place to go.Fantastic, Mexican, Columbian,Ecuadorian.Food is great.Plaza had some stores for latino flavor.
The plaza is too messy. The tables are not clean I had to clean my own table an pick the plates. A lot of garbage around. I recommend the Cuban food.
I just discovered this pace and it was absolutely phenomenal has almost all Latin countries being represented in this plaza with each countries best dishes! I had Mexican and it was perfect! The prices can be a little up there for some but the portions and quality are well worth it! I will certainly be coming back with more friends and family to show them! Will be trying the Ecuadorian restaurant next! If you love Latin food this is the place to go! Has something for everyone!
Best Latino food in the city!Large selection of Latino meals. Colombian food, Ecuadorian food, Peruvian food, Chilean food, etc.....
For a non-Latino, probably the most intriguing value proposition of Plaza Latina is its vaunted food court, a slightly chaotic, ramshackle, kind of dirty but also kind of great mishmash of different Latin American cuisines at the back of the building.Prices are inexplicably not listed for the most part but assume that each thing will set you back at least $15-25. It's not a cheap food court that's for sure, so don't go in expecting cheap eats. Luckily, most restaurants have pictures, so that makes things easier there. Options range from Peruvian (the standards: lomo saltado, various ceviches) to Colombian (bandeja paisa, sancocho etc) to multiple Mexican places (including birria! But that's 5 for $25 vs 3 for $15 for pollo/carnitas/bistec and some others, no you can't order individual you have to get it in sets, and also no pescado or cochinita pibil or nopales as far as I could tell). There's also what looks to be an Argentinian sandwich/bakery stand alone store (alfajores!) and a Cuban, El Salvadorian, Ecuadorian (so much pechuga de pollo) and a general refreshments stand in the food court as well, plus a Jamaican and Mexican taco place outside of the food court facing the street entrance.Communication is a bit of a challenge as most of the stall staff don't speak English so you'll have to break out your Google translate or get to practising your Duolingo like me. They'll give you a little table number stand thing which you take to whatever table you decide to sit at and they'll bring your food to you.Hygiene and general maintenance wise, yes I can see some of the feedback by others definitely having merit. Having said that, both cleaning staff at the food court seemed to do a very thorough job with the surfaces that they did clean, they just might not necessarily notice the random salsa that's fallen on your chair, and there's certainly nothing they can do about the half finished construction throughout the plaza or the cracked concrete/asphalt outside. Mask adherence was also low/non existent this Easter 2022 weekend including by the workers there.The plaza also has a general foods/convenience store where the proprietor speaks English (different types of dried chilis, achiote, frozen tortillas etc) and there's some other random stuff for the local community (barbershop/cell phone/electronics/jewelry etc). Photos below taken around 2pm on Easter Saturday. All in all, kind of a fun experience. It's different.
The place is not attractive but the food is delicious. We tried Cuban and Mexican food. It is worth a visit.
First time going down to the plaza Latina best food my wife and I ever had love it highly recommend
