La Mexicana De Columbus is a grocery store, a carnicería and a taquería in one building. Shop for a family recipe, pick out fresh-cut meat at the counter, then head to the back for tacos, fajitas and a homemade agua fresca. Our family has been serving Columbus for almost 30 years.

Walk in the front door and the aisles are right there. Keep going past the shelves and the meat counter, and at the far end you'll find our dining room. Come for one, stay for all three.
Mexican groceries, candy and snacks, pan dulce and your favorite hot sauce. Sometimes it's an ingredient for a family recipe, sometimes it's a treat that reminds you of home. Some of it comes all the way from Chapala, Jalisco to our shelves.
Fresh cut
meats
A full carnicería with fresh-cut meats, right inside the store. Stop by the counter and pick out the meat for your next family meal.

“The owner, Don Jose, went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. He made the entire process so easy and stress-free. From cutting the chicharrones into smaller pieces to preparing individual packs of tortillas for every table and providing multiple salsas for everyone to enjoy, he paid attention to every little detail.
Not only was the service amazing, but the portions were incredibly generous!”

“This place is absolutely incredible. They go above and beyond regarding the care and satisfaction of their customers. This is my second time going, it’s where I wanted to go for Mother’s Day. And the staff was gifting all of the mothers a bouquet of beautiful flowers.”
“We drive 30 minutes to eat here, and it's worth it every time. The food is consistently delicious. Our go to order is the al pastor tacos, quesabirrias, and barbacoa natural. The menudo is also excellent. Highly recommend!”
“This location is a little interesting to get to. You'll enter through a grocery store and venture to the far end to find a secret gem.”
“The agua frescas were legit as well, they were homemade. Great customer service.”
“I hate beans but I actually love the beans here with the rice. I would definitely come here again! And the corn tortilla was sooo fresh and good!”
“Good food, nice staff and they have a store. Good time to buy my favorite hot sauce.”
Our Mexican roots mean so much to us, and we're grateful we get to share them with you here in Columbus. They're in the food we serve, the traditions we hold onto and the familiar things you come looking for in our store.
A busy day in the taquería. Familiar faces shopping the grocery aisles. Someone stopping by the carnicería to pick out meat for a family meal. These are everyday moments here, but we don't take any of them for granted.
Every meal you join us for and every shopping trip you make helps our family keep doing what we love. If it's been a while, come see us. If you've never visited, we'd love to welcome you.
