COLUMBUS, Ohio After years of planning and delays due to COVID-19, Budd Dairy Food Hall opened to the public this week including the opening of several local favorites and new faces alike among the Columbus food scene.
10TV talked with Ana Cruz, the owner of Tacos Rudos, a brand-new restaurant inspired by authentic, Mexican cuisine.
“Our food is not just about good recipes but it’s about our roots, our culture and you know just, our family,” Cruz said.
It’s all intertwined for Cruz and her family who moved to the United States from Oaxaca, Mexico when she was just 14.
After years of delays and preparation, Cameron Mitchell Restaurants is finally ready to open Budd Dairy Food Hall, which holds nine restaurant concepts and two Cameron Mitchell-run bars inside an old dairy facility in Italian Village.
With the opening just weeks away, the company provided a look inside the food hall, which will host its first guests April 6 beginning at 4 p.m.
The 14,000-square-foot building at 1086 N. 4th St. features nine restaurants surrounding a rectangular bar on a ground floor studded with televisions, including a massive theater-style screen. At the entrance is an early 20th century-style lounge intended to mimic an office in the old Budd Dairy processing facility, which ceased operations in 1967.
