What an amazing place! Centro Villa has something for everyone plus more. We stopped in kind of early for lunch on a Saturday and there were a few people there. As we looked around the building started to fill up. There are so many different dining options. I love that they have the country of origin on each food stall. You can learn so much about a culture by tasting their food. All the staff we spoke to were so friendly. You can stroll around the food stalls and choose exactly what you want. We were given a pager to alert us when our food was ready. After ordering food we went and ordered aqua fresca. They have a huge community kitchen and retail area. There is also a huge patio area. We were told there would be events on the patio in the summer. Centro Villa is a great concept and I hope to see more like it. It is a gem! read more

When you go to a shopping mall, the food court area has some choices for you like pizza, burgers, Mexican, vegetarian, etc... Now imagine one where all the food is from different countries in Latin America, this is exactly what you will find in Centro Villa 25. Here you will find Puerto Rican, Dominican, Cuban, Salvadoran, and Mexican food shops. There was Latin music playing (not too loud) and there was a common seating area with simple tables and chairs. I was with a big group and there were orders from different shops, but I ordered from my people the Puerto Ricans. I had rice and beans with steak and onions, and a sweet plantain dish with ground beef called pastelon. The food was decent and I wouldn't mind coming back if I was in town, especially if I was craving some back home food. PS - I am regretting not taking pictures, but I am getting better at that. read more

You ever randomly realize it's Empanada Day... and suddenly your entire day has a mission? Yeah... that was me, this week. Soooo we took our appetites on a long-overdue visit to CentroVilla25 on W. 25th, which is basically a passport in food hall form -- multiple Latin kitchens under one roof, each bringing their own flavor. You don't go here for a meal... you go here to explore. But let's be real... we came with a purpose - Empanadas. We grabbed: Beef Steak Buffalo Chicken Piorino (plantain + beef + mozzarella ) They were crispy-on-the-outside, steamy, flavor-packed pockets of happiness The shells had that perfect blistered crunch -- not greasy, not soggy -- just that light crackle when you bite in. You know the one. Highlight - Piorino - This one STOLE the show. Sweet plantain + savory beef + melty cheese? That combo is unfair. Sweet, salty, cheesy... it hits from every delicious angle. And because we don't make rookie decisions... We followed it up with a piña colada topped with whipped cream and fresh pineapple like we were on vacation instead of W. 25th read more

Where do I begin? I cannot say enough about this amazing mercado. I went with a group of eight on a Friday evening and we were immediately blown away with the sheer number of options to choose from. Between us we ate from four different kiosks (PR, Cuban, Dominican, El Salvadoran). Individually we absolutely loved our food. I'm actually still thinking of my freshly made pupusas almost a week later- they were perfect! All of the people working the kiosk were so very nice and efficient. The dining space was big and allowed for our big group to join tables amidst a festive environment. We definitely look forward to returning! read more

What a great place for our community!!! Before we even entered, we were loving the building, the bright colors and the dedicated parking. With this being our first time , we took a lap to look at the offerings of each food stand. One thing I noticed right away was how friendly everyone was and how easy the menus were to read. And everyone's food looked so good. We loved the open dining area and the entire vibe. I cannot wait to come back soon!! read more

Where do I begin? Okay, so this place has a really interesting concept for aspiring and new entrepreneurs. It provides space for both those intersted in utilizing commercial kitchen space, restaurant kiosks and retail kiosks. I really hope that foot traffic increases because it's really an awesome place. read more

I'm already excited to come back here. I met a friend here for dinner who has also wanted to try this place out. I love concepts like this, people can try a multitude of places and also do some shopping to support local businesses. In the true spirit of wanting to try things, we grabbed food from two places. First stop: Flying Pig Tacos. I really wanted to try their birria tacos but unfortunately they were out so I opted for the carne pillow tacos. 3 solid tacos but I'll be back for the birria ones. Next stop: Tumbao58 for one of their cachapas with a side of Maduro. I don't know what they put into the chachapa but it was actively so so delicious. I'm genuinely excited to come back and try more places (there's a coffee stand inside as well!) - there's only so much space in my stomach to try things in one go. There's plenty of seating and I'd recommend coming with people that way you can all try multiple things! read more

Up and coming Latin American food hall and community center. CentroVilla25 is still growing, but first impressions are promising. For a full look at their events and design goals, visit cv25.org. The location is in a somewhat forgotten part of W 25th in keeping with their vision of revitalizing the Clark-Fulton neighborhood. There's a free parking lot on Blatt Ct and hopefully more to come as construction progresses. Walking around the building we caught a glimpse of a large community room, as well as an outdoor area which on mock-ups seems to be a future patio and outdoor event space. Plans also include a grocery and bar/lounge area on the first floor, and business center on the second. Most of the square footage is empty for now. In its current state, you'll find a handful of vendors in the kiosks in the main hall, mainly food stalls at the present, as well as a few others selling accessories, clothing, and cookware. The main hall contains a bunch of tables, mainly seated for 4, as well as restrooms and a drinking fountain. For those looking to party, you can rent out various spaces and even the commercial kitchen. We savored some delicious espresso from Cafe Roig, churros from Antojitos Salvadorenos, and birria tacos from The Flying Taco. You can also grab Cuban and Venezuelan fare and eat your way through Latin America. Food took a while to make, but all the stalls are clearly small family/friend run businesses that cook from scratch. Everything is clean and well-maintained, and you can tell that everyone is super proud to be a part of this growing community. Eagerly awaiting the next stages of growth of CV25! read more

Visiting CentroVilla25 was such a lovely experience! I visited for Cinco de Mayo celebration, but was late due to my busy schedule (my fault). I was able to still check out a few kiosks and was blown away! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the energy of the space--bright colors, Latin food variety, and community. The space is very modern and spacious reminding me of Milwaukee Public Market. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, and the music was festive. My focus during this visit was food! The center had other stores like quinceañera dresses, jewelry, and aesthetician. It is a true Latin hub which was very much needed in our city. The center has an open layout. There are several large rooms with comfy seating (tables and nooks), and various stands. For the most part, food is located in one area, boutiques in another. There's sufficient seating, and I love how you can build your own food adventure if you want. Parking is a little uncertain now with street parking only. It appears that there's parking lot construction so that may improve. I checked out several food stands and tried different cuisines, I tried a variety of empanadas from Sazón Latino, which is a Cuban stand. Empanadas were very well made but light on fillings. I tried plantains from Tumbao58 which is Venezuelan stand. Plantains were 10/10, one of the best that I've ever had. I also tried a tasty pork sandwich from La Esquina Domicana, cuisine from the Dominican Republic. Every vendor was fantastic, so friendly, patient, and social! Truly, I felt so welcome. It's not just a place to eat - it's a place to connect with culture. Beyond eating, I was impressed by how much thought went into making CentroVilla25 a true community hub. Seeing spaces for business development, coworking, and even a future outdoor plaza made it clear that this place is about long-term growth, not just commerce. CentroVilla25 isn't just a market - it's a celebration of entrepreneurship, and local Latin pride. It helped me gain a deeper appreciation for Cleveland's Latino community. Before your visit, check the center's map for ideas of shops and event page. I'll absolutely be back very soon. read more

Tried the Dominican stand today. La Esquira Dominica. Pork chop, yellow rice, mashed plantains, pineapple drink. Good portions, pork chop was flavorful, mashed plantains similar to mashed potatoes, and rice was very good. The people there really make this stand. One guy explained everything to me. Gave me a sample of their tamarind and pineapple juice. Both were fresh, very tropical and authentic. Can't wait to try the other stands. read more

Amazing, happy, colorful and great atmosphere. Of course, I was seeking Latin food from Cuba and Puerto Rico. We decided to go to Sazon Latino. I ordered the roast pork, arroz con gri (it's a darker rice with beans), and of course my fried yellow plantain. My husband had the baked chicken leg, yucca and the same rice. We decided to get dessert FLAN! We were served promptly with smiles and gratitude. The food was ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY delicious. My husband can't wait to try the Venezuelan food, he said it look good! I know I want to try the Puertorican coffee with ham and cheese sandwich flattened like a panini. It reminds me of mornings in Puerto Rico, when that was my favorite breakfast food. We connected with a great young couple with two kids. Everyone is so nice and you feel the positive vibes all around you. So happy and proud to see the Hispanic community coming together to share their love for food, friends, gathering and community. All people from all backgrounds are welcome. This will be my new getaway from the world. Inexpensive trip to visit all Latin America in one place. read more

I love the idea of having so many different Spanish cultures food! The music was great although a bit too loud in the area where you eat but I can understand that if it was lower you may not be able to hear throughout. We ate at the Cuban restaurant and the staff was very nice explaining different options to us. The chicken empanada was great although the rest of our food was on the cold end and didn't have the flavor we were hoping for. read more

Sazon Latino Cuban food was quite good. One of the best chicken dinners I've had in a long time. The chicken is moist and flavorful. The skin is especially tasty with all the seasoning. I usually do lot eat the skin but it was too tempting not to. Service was fast and friendly. Portion is quite large definitely enough to share if you're not too hungry. The empanadas were filled with juicy beef, a lot of beef. The crusty was crunchy as it's fried to a golden brown. Let me tell you this is one filling empanadas read more

Absolutely love this place! I can't believe I didn't come sooner. Everything I have been missing from home was here. My favorite place was the flying pig. Their carne asada tacos were very authentic and their salsa was delicious. Their shops are pretty cool as well. I hope they grow more and I can't wait to go back! read more

The food is amazing, sitting area is spacious and clean, free parking, people are very friendly. It's one of those places you need to go to a few times to in order to get a good feel for all the options available. The shredded pork "patacon" at the Venezuelan stand was out of this world, super flavorful and huge. read more

I've only eaten their food through DoorDash, but it arrived warm, and it was very tasty

Great place I so hope it gets better and fills up more. The food from flying pig was delicious. We had empanadas also good don't remember the name. Only negative is the music was really loud. read more

Really wanted to love the tacos but the meat was dry and not as flavorful. I'm hoping the other stands are better if I come back read more

A friendly Food Court with Latino options! Cuban, Puerto Rican, El Salvadoran, Mexican.... Also, cool non food shops! Check it out!

I can't say enough good things about the food at CentroVilla25. I stopped by not really knowing what to expect, and left absolutely blown away by the variety, flavor, and heart behind every dish. It felt like I was traveling across Latin America--from the bold, familiar spices of Mexico to the comforting flavors of Cuba, Venezuela, El Salvador, and Puerto Rico--all in one place. I had a perfectly grilled Cuban sandwich from one vendor, then couldn't resist trying a pupusa from another, and still managed to make room for the best arepa I've had outside of Venezuela. Every bite felt like it was made with love and tradition, and the people behind the counters were so welcoming and proud to share their stories. CV25 isn't just a food hall--it's an experience. It's a place where culture comes alive through food, where every vendor is offering more than just a meal--they're offering a piece of their heritage. If you're in Cleveland and haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and go hungry. You won't be disappointed. The vibrant vibes and music were on point too!! read more
