Just four miles from Buckhead’s upscale shopping, Plaza Fiesta offers an immersive Latin American experience filled with vibrant culture, delicious food and a unique array of shopping and entertainment options. Best of all, you don’t need a passport — or even to speak Spanish — to feel like you’ve been transported to the heart of a bustling mercado.

Located in Brookhaven, Plaza Fiesta is a 350,000-square-foot indoor mall home to more than 250 Latino-owned businesses. It’s more than just a place to shop — this is the heartbeat of Atlanta’s Latino community. Visitors from across state lines come here not only for the goods but also for the cultural experience.

Many of the businesses are small, family-run ventures; some are just starting out, others are growing and thriving. Each vendor brings a piece of their homeland to Atlanta, sharing their culture and stories through the products they offer.

The mall’s hallways are designed to evoke the feel of a traditional Latin American street market, with colorful facades, strings of papel picado fluttering above and a central fountain that serves as a gathering spot. Families gather here to enjoy bowls of fresh fruit, elotes and paletas. Shoppers meander through stalls selling jewelry, traditional cookware, soccer jerseys, Guatemalan dresses, artisanal sweets and more. Every stall tells a story, and each one reflects a different part of Latin America.

At Plaza Fiesta, you’ll find an eclectic mix of items for sale, including clothing, shoes, toys, plants, musical instruments, electronics, leather goods and dishware. Need a break from shopping? Treat yourself to a manicure, tattoo, massage or haircut. All available on-site.
