    First time here! Huge selection of hot, cold foods already prepared. Awesome fresh veggies and fruit to choose from. Extremely huge grocery store as well. They have a coffee bar and also a real bar! Place very clean and we had a great first time experience! Looking forward to going back!

    Not huge, but definitely a great addition to the neighborhood! A really nice produce selection with several fruits and veggies that aren't necessarily easily found at your chain grocery stores. Several ceviches made fresh, as well as a few hot meats and of course tamales. I've never seen a guava before, so I picked up a couple and will Google how to eat them fresh. Trips like this are always unique learning experiences. Several casings of pastries, of which you get a cafeteria-style tray, load it up with whatever makes your tongue salivate, then take it to the stand were they put everything in containers/bags and write the pricing for the cashier to include in your ring-up. I got a few churros - there's no labeling on the pastries, so I assumed they were just plain, but discovered they had caramel inside. Mmmmmmmm, nope, not that cheap liquid sundae-topping stuff, it's almost like a custard consistency; delicious!! They also had individual cornbread cakes. I'm interested to try this one, as it's more of a fresh baked cheesecake consistency. The bakery section was solid, and there's still room in the display cases for more sweet desserts as they grow. I picked up a Tres Leches Cake to test how well they're versed, lol. Pretty spectacular meat department, too! However, nothing had a price, but I'm assuming they'll be working on tagging stuff as soon as possible. I'm sure the paletas stand will be on heavy rotation come schools out, as I bet this place will be a great stop for the local kids for a sweet, cold treat. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be stopping in here from time to time, even if it's just for their prepared foods, produce and meat varieties. Easily seen from Georgesville Rd, this is a good location, and they still have room to expand.

    Fair notice: I've only been once and I didn't eat the food. This review is just of the location, the amount of items and quality of items purchased. Bakery was too notch. Lots of choices including tres leches, flan and other delicacies. Bread was fresh, soft and tasty. I had a hard time choosing just two to take home with me. We were able to find a pernil for our holiday meals. They were even willing to cut it into smaller pieces for us. Lots of other meets that you won't find at American markets. Cheeses could be bought by the wheel or slices. The choices were vast and included many of the Mexican popular cheeses along with selections in American delis. If you're looking for European cheeses etc not the place to come. The food in the cafeteria seemed hit or miss. Some looked amazing but others looked crusted over as if they had been warming there for a while. They looked dry enough that it discouraged my friends and I from eating there. I will want to go back to give the food a fair shake. There is a whole candy store inside the plaza. You'll find every Mexican candy you could possibly want. Piñatas, party favors, etc. Prices seemed pretty decent too. Groceries included lots of Mexican items with a few of the popular American items. Great selection at fair prices. I'm a lot closer to Saraga so I will most likely continue to shop there but if I ever needed something in particular I wouldn't hesitate to come back.

    the best mexican market around perhaps? i love their ice cream selection and the vibes are fun. easy to navigate and open late! the lady with the cute cherry earrings who works at the ice cream stand is always so kind and patient when my partner and i ask her which popsicle is what and what ice cream is what, she's so cool. anyways, i saw this little cake that reminded me of myself. good market!

I pull up and the parking lot is empty. Hmmm. Looks like an old Rax roast beef spot. Inside it had a festive vibe with a Mexican mix tape playing over the speakers. The gentleman takes my order and grab a booth. He takes your order and makes your food fresh! Fajita nachos Al Pastor with a Victoria beer. The Victoria draft came out in a frosty mug and it was cold cold. Yes!! As I'm waiting for my food, more customers start coming in. Made me feel better lol. I swear the music playing is a recording of a DJ at a wedding lol. Out come the nachos and they look amazing. He also brings a little stand for my cell phone so I can eat and watch YouTube. Never have I had that offered to me at any restaurant. His hustle, service and smile was appreciated. The nachos were really good. The marinated pork, cheese sauce, fresh chips, chunks of pineapple, sour cream and salsa verde just came together well. Bonus points for the cheese sauce. Not to mention I watched him prepare everything thru the glass counter. He's back there having fun then brings your food out with a smile. Love it. If it were super busy I don't know how he would keep up, but I appreciate his hustle. Yelp, your recommendation didn't disappoint. This was different than your typical sit down, chips and salsa, margarita special, blah blah experience. This was Cozumel in June, cruising around in the side-by-side, Oh look a cool roadside taco spot with an open center courtyard type of vibe. Minus the open courtyard. Check them out!

    While I was in Korea, I came across a story that stopped me in my tracks--one of those moments when…read morethe weight of someone else's experience hits close to home. Ricardo, a waiter at Cazuela's Mexican Cantina in Reynoldsburg, had finished serving a table, expecting the usual--a tip, a simple acknowledgment of his hard work. Instead, he received a hateful message scrawled on the receipt, the kind that cuts deeper than words should. Ricardo works at Cazuela's only on Sundays, a second job to help make ends meet. So today, in between my OCIA responsibilities, I decided to stop by--to meet him, to shake his hand, and to remind him that there are far more good people in this world than the ones who spew hate. As we talked, I saw a man who carries himself with quiet dignity, someone who simply wants to work hard and provide for his family. I shared with him that I, too, know what it feels like to be told to "go back to your country," even though, like him, I am an American. I told him about my childhood, standing in front of my family's Crestview Market, hearing the ugly chants from passing cars--some driven by kids I went to school with. But today wasn't just about reliving painful memories; it was about something greater--the power of community, of kindness that drowns out cruelty. When I arrived at Cazuela's, I wasn't alone. Others had also come to show their support, to stand with Ricardo. He told me the outpouring of kindness had been overwhelming, and I was relieved to hear it. Before I left, I handed him my WARM card and told him if he ever needed help, he could call me. Because no one should feel alone in moments like these. And, by the way, if you ever stop by Cazuela's, their enchiladas and Mexican rice are fantastic. The chips and salsa? Fresh and addictive. And my server, Isabel--attentive, kind, and everything a great waitress should be. Some people choose to spread hate. But today, I saw so many more people choosing love. And thats what matters.

    Very nice bartenders. Was chill on a Saturday. Chips are soooooo fresh and good. Reasonably priced…read morefood.

Also note they intentionally serve this as burnt cheese (oozing out the side). Beverage wise, we ordered Nadarita(s) and they were small and little weak. Felt like college bar service and quality. Our server Khoi was nice and professional, but rarely saw him (never returned for additional drink or chip orders). Will visit again but have different expectations. Thanks Nada.

This was the best Mexican food I've had since moving from Arizona last year, and the service from Andrew was incredible. My teenage son and I loved the chips and salsas, and it was very evident that everything was made fresh in house. I had a refreshing margarita. My son ordered the quesadilla and loved it. I asked Andrew for a taco recommendation, and he said to get the pork al pastor. He did not steer me wrong. Those tacos were delicious, full of flavor and texture. I wish I could give Nada more than five stars. Everything about our meal there was awesome. I was happy to recommend it to other friends during the rest of my conference.

I got one chorizo, one steak, and one chicken tinga. The corn tortillas are what most people speak highly of here so I had to try it. It was exceptional. The tortillas do taste homemade and have a nice flavor and texture. The tacos didn't fall apart either. Now the meats were just okay...nothing authentic about them. Lacking in flavor too. BUT if you want to order a non taco item, you can add a tortilla for a $1. Probably what I should've done. My friend got the crunch wrap which was BIG. Prob too big for most people to finish but it had a lot of things in it, including a fried tortilla inside that my friend agreed was the star of the show. Otherwise, her Crunchwrap was bland.... We both got a mild and spicy salsa on the side but neither were spicy. And of course, neither were that flavorful. Service was good. The staff was nice. We didn't wait long for the food. More like 3.8 stars overall. Masa recently opened another stall that sells salads. I'd prob try that next time.

I got the barbacoa tacos and they were very meaty and the tortillas were freshly made. After I placed my order, the worker gave me a buzzer to let me know when it was ready but I waited nearby and started talking to him. He was very nice and friendly. The salsas don't have a description on the menu so I asked him about a few of them and he started sharing his story and even told me the recipes they use are generational; he uses his grandmother's recipes!
