Had a great time checking out the different shops in the plaza. They have a little bit of everything. From clothes, cologne, houseware, and plenty of food stalls, so show up hungry. The biggest surprise? They have the best Ross hands down. We all walked out with multiple bags, because the selection was so good. Just a heads up: the aisles are tight so be prepared for a lot of "excuse me's". If you're ready to do some shopping, or if you just want to grab a snack and wander around, this is a fun place to do both. read more

This shopping center is an Atlanta staple. I remember coming in the early 2000s for authentic Mexican food. I'm really glad it's still around! I came here to get a patecon from Arepa Grill, but also got a tamarind rimmed lime juice from Esquisito bakery. There are so many delicious food options here and I've never not seen it packed. It is definitely a very Atlanta experience. Highly recommend! read more

My friend and I have been wanting to check this place out for lunch and look around. There are several shops offering clothes, boots, hats and everything you can imagine. There is a salon, nail salon and tattoo parlors even. We ended up deciding on food at La Nortena. It seemed to be the busiest and a by stander said it's the best in food court. Definitely go check out this place! read more

If you lived in Charlotte 10 years ago you may have heard of Plaza Fiesta by Carowinds. Well Charlotte got rid of this amazing place rich in culture and delicious Hispanic cuisine. Luckily outside of Atlanta, we found another Plaza Fiesta and OMG let me tell yall, this food was incredible. We ordered way too much, we had tacos, burritos, fries, plantains, papusas, rice and beans. The customer service was so nice and the place was just filled with families. You can get everything here, there are barbershops, car rental places, boutiques and even an arcade! Can't wait to stop here again. read more

This is such an awesome culturally rich location. You will find authentic Mexican everything: clothing, jewelry, food, decor. It is just not your average mall. Not only that, I think you need more than one day to explore this place. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Spanish is prevalent but the speak English as well. One of my coworkers back in Hawaii is of Mexican heritage. I was able to find a candy for her that she thought was impossible to get. It made my day to put that smile on her face!! read more

This one is another hidden gem! From the outside it just looks like the back of a strip mall, but once inside it's like being transported to another country. There is so much to see and do, and there's even a really big play area for kids! We started out with some fresh fruit cups and just strolled around snacking on those. Stopped in a few stores and found everyone was willing to negotiate prices, so got some great deals. Ordered WAY too much food for lunch that was all really fantastic (try the ceviche tostadas from the pescaderia in the food court). Spur of the moment, a couple in our group even got piercings! Then we finished off with some delicious ice cream. It's just a really fun way to spend a day! Pro tip, brush up on your Spanish. read more

A treasure! Hard to describe being transported from a boring strip mall to a vibrant market that feels like a different country. Strongly recommend anyone from Atlanta visit this place at least once, seems like everyone spoke spanish, so ordering food can be tricky, but pointing at things you want ends up working. Many of the food places seem really good! We had empanadas and it was great! read more

The Plaza Fiesta Mall is one of the few latin American malls in the Atlanta area. It may be the most visited. The food court has food from almost of Latin American countries and sports stores have Latin American team shirts. When you go inside, the decoration is like a Hollywood Mexican style, the stores being like old colonial houses with balconies. There's a whole arcade and park for the kids. Nice place for the family for a cheap price. read more

Plaza Fiesta - Shopping Centers Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Plaza Fiesta is a bustling Latin American shopping center bounded by Buford Highway, Clairmont Road, and Dresden Drive. It's a major hub for and caters to the Hispanic community in Atlanta, particularly Central Americans. Plaza Fiesta opened in June 1999. When I first moved to Atlanta in 2000, I remember this shopping center still had several Asian businesses. Now, it's mostly Hispanic. In the early 2000s, my parents and I would do most of our Asian grocery shopping in Atlanta at Hong Kong Supermarket, which was located in this shopping center and is now known as Fiesta Farmers Market. We also went to Happy Valley Seafood for weekend dim sum (a popular place to get dim sum in Atlanta at the time). In the coming years, both Hong Kong Supermarket and Happy Valley moved OTP (outside the perimeter) to Jimmy Carter Boulevard in Norcross. (Hong Kong Supermarket would eventually return to Buford Highway in the form of City Farmers Market in 2015.) These days, along with Fiesta Farmers Market, Plaza Fiesta's other anchor tenants include Ross Dress for Less and Planet Fitness. Probably the biggest draw to the shopping center is the indoor shopping mall / market which is filled with hundreds of vendors. I first visited this place in the early 2000s, but don't remember much. It took me well over a decade to revisit and I'm glad I did. Plaza Fiesta is sort of like a miniature town with all sorts of stuff to see and do. There are hundreds of vendors and you could easily spend an entire morning, afternoon, or entire day exploring them all. The shopping mall is set up much like a flea market. It reminds me of the Pendergrass Flea Market up I-85. It's not much to look at, but it's chock-full of densely-packed merchandise, some of which you might only be able to find here. There are rows upon rows of various retailers, most renting out small stalls to sell their wares. The mall is large and can feel maze-like. There's a little bit of everything including apparel, arts & crafts, beauty supplies, bridal wear, electronics, home decor & furnishings, money transfer services, phones, shoes, and more. There's a video arcade and a sizeable indoor playground for little kids. Outside, there's a traveling funfair with amusement rides, carnival games, and more vendors. There's even a video game shop that sells new and used games and game consoles including classic retro games. Less than a couple weeks ago, I saw this shop had four Super Nintendo Classic Editions sitting on the shelf. This is a hot item right now. I asked the employee behind the counter how much he was selling them for and he said $160 each. That was double the $79.99 MSRP. Given the flea/street market type setup, I figure prices are negotiable at several of these businesses. For me, the biggest draw to Plaza Fiesta are the restaurants. There are two food courts filled with all sorts of authentic and delicious Mexican and other Latin American eats plus more restaurants and food vendors (e.g. ice cream, fruit, and other sweet treat sellers) located throughout the market (some more hidden than others). Some food court highlights include De Mar Cevicheria (where you can get two of the best, most filling ceviches in Atlanta for only $10), Puras Tortas (some of the best Mexican sandwiches in town), Las Recetas y Antojitos de la Abuela (formerly Las Quekas de la Abuela), and La Nortena Taqueria. I recommend grabbing an ice cream or a fruit drink/slush, like a mangonada (chamango) or chamoyada, from one of the numerous stands. A lot of the food court vendors accept credit cards, but you should bring cash for the smaller food stands and other retailers. Restrooms for the entire mall can be found at each food court. The bigger of the two food courts (the one with the restaurants mentioned above) has the bigger set of restrooms. You can find them around the corner from La Nortena. The smaller food court only has two single-room unisex restrooms, so a line can build quicker there. The shopping center has plenty of parking. The parking lot on the Buford Highway side of the property is most often busy. Additional parking can be found behind the building in lots facing both Clairmont Road and Dresden Drive. The Dresden lot is the most spacious. read more

Highlights: Such a fun spot! Great authentic food with arcades, shops, dessert spots, numerous spots to get your fix, whatever if is! Got tacos from barbacoa Mexicana, at the end of the plaza. The girl at the spot said she didn't speak English, but understood enough to order my tacos. Great authentic tacos!!! Like Mexican street food. Loveeeddd it! This isn't your American Mexican place. If you know what your expectations are, this is 10 out of 10!!! read more

Super rude. I had checked in about overnight parking. In the morning, the security guys were super rude at 6-something. They had a registry and kept saying my vehicle was not on it but there was only 1 vehicle on the list and no one else was parked there. read more

I enjoy going for the variety of stuff they sell! Recommend if your looking for authentic Hispanic experience read more

This place is amazing. If you want to find something unique that's hard to find, this place has it. From stereo subs to quinceañera dresses to shoes and western wear, Plaza Fiesta is the place to go. This was a failing 90s style mall until someone had the fantastic idea to bust up some of the larger storefronts and convert it into an all-Hispanic smaller store destination, and now it is crawling with people in a good way. I'm glad to see a mall thriving like this one. Seriously, you can burn hours here. Check it out! read more

Interesting Latin American Mall Experience. It was fun to wander around the small shops selling wild Quinceañera dresses, cowboy boots, religious artifacts, pinatas and so much more. You might be able to negotiate prices on some items. When I asked the price of a statue, one person told me $2 and the other told me $4. The food court was disappointing. read more

One of a kind mall with businesses that cater to the Hispanic market. Nothing fancy but the best part is that as soon as you enter, you'll feel like you traveled south of the border. You will need to speak Spanish to haggle for deals but all in all, there are some great deals to be found here. Like a $25 facial at the center kiosk; unheard of but fairly priced. The mani-pedis are also a good deal and the haircutters are quick! Great authentic dishes to choose from but seating is limited throughout so plan accordingly. Beautiful homemade cakes and desserts at the bakeries! Entertainment is available on weekends and the mall even offers a travel agency along with a bus depot for travelers looking to travel by bus at a reasonable price. Friendly and well behaved crowds with plenty of security so rest assured you will feel safe no matter who you are. read more

I highly recommend making a stop here while you're cruising along Buford Highway. This place is another gem on Buford. They have all sorts of shops and stores but I'm partial to the labyrinth of food stalls located on the Claremont Road side of this mall. They have great prices for authentic dishes from many Latin American countries. I like the stalls that sell amazing fresh fruit like mango and papaya at excellent prices. I suggest you walk take some time and just walk around the whole mall to get a feel for this very unique and culturally important meeting place for the Hispanic community. Parking is free and you can enter the mall on both the Buford Highway side or on the Claremont Road side. Go explore a little bit at Plaza Fiesta! read more

Came to visit to Atlanta, visited plaza fiesta to eat, the center food court was really crowed because it was a Saturday but found a hidden spot where there is a couple more Mexican restaurants and food was bomb and very affordable! Flavorful and made from scratch, Definitely worth a try! read more

Essentially a hidden world. Viewed from Buford Highway, the plaza seems like any other strip mall - a large food market, several restaurants, another anchor store (here, it's Burlington) and some other outside-facing shops. But no, Plaza Fiesta is a full scale mall with tons of stuff inside, including a food court, which is Hispanic-centered. Reminds me a bit of the 'flea market' that used to be down the road before it got bulldozed in favor of City Market. Busy on the weekends. read more

Mexican food here is absolutely amazing and priced great. Had food at the carnitas place and it was AMAZING. 10/10

This place is magical. I don't know how else to describe it. Basically, places like this are evidence to me that Atlanta and its suburbs are magic. This is the spot if you want the closest mercado experience--there are stores selling clothes, boots, makeup, housewares, etc., and then there are food stalls selling all sorts of delicious things. Don't be fooled into thinking that the "main" food court by the bouncy playground area is the only food option. There are about three other smaller "food court" areas inside the plaza, so it might be worthwhile to go when you're not absolutely starving, walk around to get a sense of the layout and what foods are offered, and then find your spot. There are places to eat dessert as well--fruit, ice cream, churros, etc. I just wish I lived closer to this place. What a gem. Please don't ever change. read more

I love coming to this shopping center! I'm so glad I came across it just a month after moving to Georgia. I'm not Mexican, but the shops within Plaza Fiesta remind me of the markets in my country. I love that it is a mini Mexico within Chamblee. I spend almost every weekend roaming around. There are so many hallways that take you to different shops so make sure take your time and actually explore the entire mall. You can find fruit stands to quinceañera dresses here. It's fun to walk around and see the cowboy clothing stores, the tattoo shops, bakeries, all the colorful murals, and of course the food court. Make sure to stop by one of the many authentic food stands and get yourself an al pastor taco. They have great deals on Wednesday where you can get $.50 tacos. Grab a churro or a mango con chile y limon before you leave! read more

Plaza Fiesta - Al pastor tacos! - Shopping Centers Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I have been expelled from @PlazaFiesta because not wearing a mask (not intentionally), they say they have their own rules because it's a private property... Is not Walmart, QT, Target, Malls, and all other private properties as well?... I don't see those retailers expelling customers. I saw more people, and even tenants not wearing a mask before the security guard approached me aggressively. It was definitively an annoying situation. I don't have any problem wearing a mask, I was on my way to go after no more than 10 minutes I spent there when I was approached abruptly by the guard stating I have to leave the place immediately. I understand safety but not unnecessarily rudeness.... even one of the vendors was agreed with me about my complaint, that's why I requested the guard to approach me to Management to set my concern about it. Manager and other staff member were rude as well. I felt safe only when Police officers arrived. read more

I skipped highschool once with a group of friends to take those cheesy studio pictures here. It was filled with awesomeness then and I'm glad it's relatively the same! This time, we came to see the murals being painted outside and stopped by for lunch. The food court is mostly Mexican with one Asian teriyaki place. We chose the one by the corner that looked the most homecooked - Taqueria La Nortena. The food was delicious!! Highly recommend the chorizo tacos and nachos. Mmmmmm... The pupusas were okay. Overall pretty fun mall to poke around and have a foodie adventure. Will return. read more

I feel bad even reviewing this place because there is still so much to explore. Thanks to the BuHi Shuffle, I am exploring parts of Buford Highway I have never been to before, and this little in-door market/mall was one of the places to check out. It is basically a corner of a big shopping center, and you walk through this unassuming door into what can only be described as a Latin American/Central American Narnia. My mouth was hanging open the whole time. It reminded me of the markets in Mexico and southeast Asian... bustling indoor networks of alleyways with market stalls everywhere. Beautiful quinceanera dress shops, hair care and makeup, home decor, cultural artifacts, and everyday items... so much to offer and so much to explore! It was so culturally rich, and existed in such carefully executed disarray that so many Americans dislike, but really is a brilliant design - you really feel like you are walking into another world. There are incredible, building facades lining the walls so it does look like you're in a city. Plenty of food stalls and even a food court. Lots of areas for children to play in a for families to gather and hang out. I walked around and took everything in, but I also decided to eat. Obviously. Who wouldn't? I stopped at one of the food areas and ordered tacos (that were so cheap, they basically paid me to eat them) and nachos. Both were excellent, and didn't nod to American-fusion style Mexican food, these were authentic, menu-is-only-in-spanish, you can order beef-tongue-as-a-meat-option kind of authentic. So tasty and satisfying. I was so thankful that a cultural gem like this could exist- what I imagine is a safe-haven, a place of expression and comfort, a place to be true to themselves, for the Latinx community in the Atlanta area. I was also thankful that I could come and visit. read more

So, my friend and I walked in here when we were actually looking for the Buford Highway Farmers Market. It's a nice place. Like most markets, the pre-packaged goods is as expensive as regular grocery stores. I'd recommend this place for someone looking for a less hectic atmosphere than what you'll find at the massive places such as BHFM. But, that does come at a cost to selection. We ended up not being able to find chorizo (surprising) here, and had to go up the road for that last ingredient. I found everything else for my paella, though! read more

Awesome place. So many food stalls with great food options. Love it! Definitely a must try

I have a confession. I've always known about Plaza Fiesta but just never cared to come. The only reason why I recently came is because a friend was in town. She used to live in Atlanta but recently moved to NYC. She wanted meet up for lunch at Plaza Fiesta. Since I've never been, I said sure. All I knew about Plaza Fiesta is that it is a Latino mall. A lot of people have told me that their food court is pretty awesome. It is located between Clairmont Road and Buford Hwy. I came the Buford Hwy way and parked on the right side and entered towards the food court. My friend entered through the other side where Clairmont is. That way is actually the entrance for the front! I never knew. She knew the mall pretty well and help guide us. She actually showed us around and to other parts of "food" areas that were not in the "main" food court out in the open. We went to her to-go-to place. We walked around and checked out the mall. To me, it's more of an upscale flea market. Honestly, it reminded me so much of Hmong Village in MN. There was a vendor that had live animals like owls, parrots, and even snakes! You could take a picture with them for a fee. He would use his professional camera and then you could take as many pics as you want with your phone. He told us next week, he is bringing more reptiles! I will definitely come back and check out more of the vendors. I am eyeing a few clothing vendors! 6/2018 read more

The food court is so interesting! Definitely the most fun I have had in a food court in a while. We tried several kinds of food here and there and they were all fresh, vibrant, and authentic hispanic food! It was definitely delicious and very cheap for that type of quality food. I definitely enjoyed it!! The stores here, however, is not my type of stores ... it has enough for all your quinciniera needs, but definitely not my syle. Either way, it was quite an interesting experience. I will definitely be back for more of their yummy food. read more

This review is for Fiesta Farmer's Market. And Fiesta Farmers Market is a gem. Super low prices for fruit, veggies, seafood. The samples stole the show upon my visit and I am a winner of their international products: seasonings, foods, prices, etc!!! :) I will be returning very soon especially for those catfish prices, blue crab. These guys seafood game is probably 2nd or 3rd behind Dekalb & Buford farmers markets. However, Plaza Fiesta for Fiesta Farmers Market has found a fan in me. They lost a star based on location(too far from where I live) lol Grade: B+ read more

Very interesting location, and worth exploring at least once if you are in the area. Wife and i traveled from Acworth to explore it based on randomly coming across a YouTube video, and felt it was worth the drive to at least experience it! Overall, the mall is spread out on the backside of a main strip mall and is cubed and divided by different stores and establishments. It can get confusing, especially when so many different people are selling similar or the same wares. The food courts are spread out across the place, as well as some independent locations selling fresh fruits, and a bakery at one end. read more

Everything Latin America and Mexico. If you need a quincenera cake (they have), haircut (you can get it), lunch (you can get it), moneygram (you can send money), stereo installation (out front of the plaza fiesta), grocery shopping (next door), wife or husband (next to the water fountain) and if you need a piñata (pick from among a hundred dozen), this place is for you. Enjoy the many activities and spend a few hours here. read more

Awesome Ice Cream from La Michoacán. Lots of flavors and choices and best of all very good prices.

From cell phone cases, to tacos to your Quinceanera dress... this is your spot. Always a good time, & a good place to meander.

WELCOME TO MEXICO! It has been several years since my last visit to the plaza and today was not the day. Parking was absolutely atrocious! After being stuck in bumper to bumper traffic while trying to find a parking spot, we simply decided to just park on a side street. We drove around the back, across the street and down the hill. As we were doing this, we noticed that people just across the street from the mall were advertising $10 parking. No thanks!. After hiking back to the mall, we encountered a sea of people. It was just super crowded and we later found out that there was a festival,/carnival on the the south side of the building. As soon as you hit enter the space, you are transported to Mexico and everything is very crowded and festive. When we last visited Mexico, we made sure to visit the "non-tourist" areas so that we could get an authentic feel for the country. Visiting the plaza reminded me of that experience. In Mexico they would assume that we were lost but here they just looked at us with curiosity. We were clearly out of our element due to the crowds and decided not to say very long We were interested in getting something to eat or a refreshing drink but there would have been no place for us to sit and enjoy our treats. Also, I noticed that a couple of the food vendors had food that was already prepared and set up buffet style and it just was not appetizing. The plaza had a bakery inside that featured decorated cakes and they rivaled any cake that I have ever seen in a French, Italian or American bakery because they actually enticed me. Normally, decorated cakes are not my thing and I don't even think about eating them. However, as I came really close to these desserts, they looked fresh and delicious and were very glossy as if the icing had been whipped. Although I wanted to try one of the cakes, the crowd prevented me from doing so. Next time for sure! The shopping center now has a huge hair salon/spa that was abuzz with activity. This place is great for "people watching" because it has huge windows and it is great to watch the creativity and see people transformed! Yes! This is actually the place to go if you are looking for western wear because several shops feature everything from hats to boots and clothing. You can take the girl out of Kansas but ... Finally, there is a nice play area for the kids but I definitely recommend visiting the plaza as soon as it opens so that you can freely move around and visit everything. There is just so much to see and do so come with an open mind and lots of free time. ***This is a great place for families and especially for kids who can appreciate a little cultural excursion. read more

At the end of a Burlington Coat Factory, there are magical glass doors -- not unlike The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe -- that lead to Narnia. And by Narnia, I mean Mexico and pockets of Guatemala. I marvel at how distinct, immigrant communities sprout up in the most peculiar places. A lifelong nomad, I've roamed from place to place, looking for my "home," but other people simply put their stuff down, set up shop - literally and figuratively -- and make their home wherever they are. Housed in an ordinary looking shopping mall, Plaza Fiesta is a clamorous explosion of culture and color. And kids running around like goddamn lunatics. It's deafening and can be a little jarring initially, but you quickly grow used to the frenetic pitch and pace. Vendors have their various wares laid out, ranging from adorable little Mexican candy to rhinestone studded cowboy boots, from bright tangerine quinceañera dresses to your very own photograph portrait with baby Jesus, grown Jesus, or La Virgen de Guadalupe. Some people go big and get their picture taken with all three. There's no shortage of visual interest and the prices of most things are pretty low. Except for the quinceañera dresses. They're buggin' with those prices. $650 for a poorly constructed gown your daughter will never wear again unless she has a Yelp event to go to in 10 years? No way, ese. read more

Want to go to a foreign country but can't afford the airfare? Head to Plaza Fiesta, where all of your senses will be on serious overload. From the noise of the prop planes flying low above the parking lot to the smells of indoor grilling, the experience here is not for the meek. Stalls upon stalls of folks selling their wares, whether disgustingly overpriced quinceanera dresses to on-the-spot tattoos and piercings to leather goods. Oh, and there's a Marshalls, a Burlington Coat Factory, and, of course, an arcade all within the walls here. It's certainly an experience worth checking out, especially if you have a vested interest in Mexican culture, food, or apparel. For this gringo, once was enough, I think. But who knows... I may wake up one morning with a strong desire to replace the grill on my car with something more flashy. read more

Going here was so much fun. Being a 6'2", blonde hair, blue eyed gringo, I got a lot of attention. Some stank eye, but mostly just staring (which I don't mind). I go to all the places us gringos shouldn't or normally wouldn't go to, back at home, so I'm used to it. Lots of eye candy too, if you're into hot Hispanic chicks. There's tons of stuff in every corner and alley of this place, it would take at least a day to go to every store. You can find some great bargains in here too. We went to the side food area, forgot the name, but they handmade their tortillas. It was excellent and dirt cheap. I really liked the green hot sauce, even though I was sweating like a "long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs". We went during the Cinco de Mayo celebration, so it was very crowded. We saw a few bands play, including El Guero y su Banda. We got to meet him afterwards, which was an awesome treat. He was extremely nice and took time to take pictures with a lot of his fans afterwards. I actually had it set up through his manager, to have some of the kids that were with us, to meet him, since he was one of their favorite singers. There were a few teenagers heckling some of the kids that were with us, but once they saw El Jefe (me) round the corner, they backed off. If you're a gringo like me, don't be scared or nervous to go. 99% of the people here really appreciate it when you come to visit, buy stuff, and speak their language in the process(as bad as I am at it), so they go the extra mile for you. You won't get that type of service at a regular mall. (Not trying to start a political debate, because I could really care less what anyone else thinks, you're not going to change my mind.) Go here, be in the moment, and soak it all up. You'll be glad you did. read more
