While it's not exactly a plugin, I recently threw together a little
CSV-to-markup table generator

https://github.com/Gumnos/csv2markup

that makes pretty quick work of converting CSV (or tab-delimited)
data to your markup language of choice. For markdown, you'd use

./csv2markup -f md data.csv

optionally passing in the "-o" flag if you want to have it output
on stdout (instead of writing to a file), letting you read it
directly into vim. To specify a tab delimiter you can use

./csv2markup -f md -d$'\t' data.csv

which should at least work in bash (you'd have to use whatever your
shell's method is for entering a literal tab as a parameter).
