La Plaza Tapatia

"Well this is my second time ever being to the store. My first impression is this place is pretty great. Their bread is delicious. But today was my second time there and I was embarrassed and felt like I was being treated like a criminal. I bring my 4 year old daughter with me both times and this last trip my daughter knocked a jar of coffee from the cart and it broke. I felt as if I was being treated as a criminal. I was approached by security and and he did not speak my language and finally used his phone to tell me that I need to pay for the jar that was broke. Went and took a picture. I said I would pay for it. I get to the check out and I was explaining to the man that I broke a jar and was told the cashier I had to pay for the broken coffee. Shortly later another man came and the security man also. It made me feel very uncomfortable and it’s sad. This is such a big store and I had over 100$ in groceries and they could have excused a small $7 jar of coffee for an accident my daughter did. If this had been Krogers or another store they would have said it was fine. I did not like being felt to feel like a criminal. It was an accident. I was not walking through the store making a fool. I don’t know if I will return. There are many other Mexican stores I can go to. I am very disappointed. Especially since I was making a large purchase. Moral of the story, if you have children, for warning no grace is given."

"Great Mexican supermarket. I absolutely enjoyed the concept of this market, lots of fresh food made daily and available to just take home and eat. There is a hot food bar, a cold food bar, a cold meat and fish case, they have a huge case of their own ice cream and Gelato, their baked goods are out of this world. I was very impressed with all they have to offer. They even have electric carts for the handicapped. There was a slight language barrier. I didn't encounter any English speaking employees but I was able to communicate adequately everything i needed and everyone was very friendly and understanding that I did not speak Spanish. I'm going to work on it!"

"This was my first time actually going into La Plaza Tapatia. I couldn't believe what I saw inside. I thought it was some sort of casino or some other kind of venue, but it was 1000 times better, it was a multi cultural grocery heaven! This was a lot cleaner, and better stocked than a similar store I've been to, I'm coming here from now on. All the produce looked fresh and tasty. The butcher/meats counter was clean and organized, everytype of meat, sausage, chicken & pork variations they had on display, mouthwatering. I can't wait to go back and see what interesting new items they have. Even the chip & cereal aisles have dozens of different varieties of products that I didn't know existed. I'm really glad we decided to stop here on the way home. This made my day, that much better, thank you. Gracias."

"The staff expertly handled a group of 60 middle school students! We came as the culminating end to theor Spanish 1 & 2 classes. They treated our students with understanding and patience as they practiced their Spanish. Even the customers who came in helped our students. This place had fantastic food for lunch, desserts and so much more. Gracias is simply not enough for all they did for our group. If you are looking for excellent food/groceries, this place is well worth your time!!!"
