The butcher shop in the back is ready to cut any meats that you want. The pre packaged snacks up near the register aren't the best and would best be avoided for their price. I would like some more hot foods to be ready to be purchased but it's tough to communicate that. Great small store to visit and get anything you would expect in a mercado.

At every bbq I've had, everyone always asks were I bought the meat and how I marinated it. They also have a big selection of juices,drinks and sodas from a lot of Latin countries. Their avocados are always on point, they are BIG and they will give you an avocado that is ready for that exact day you purchase it or the next. If you happen to be there when they have fresh Empanadas at the counter, they are pretty good. They are from Colombia I believe.

Owner is a nice guy and always very helpful and chatty with his customers. Today I came in and saw fresh mango with chili available, so I picked up some. There was also papaya salad in the fridge, so I grabbed one of those too! The sliced mango with chili was $5.50 and the papaya salad was $7.95 and both were excellent! I also picked up some incense sticks, vermicelli, some Asian drinks including pennywort and Mr Brown coffee, preserved plums, and soy sauce. I was disappointed that no buffet style food was available and I guess they may not serve it on Sundays but hoping to try some next time I am back. I love this place as they have so many ready items and most have been very good! Give this place a try, you might just like it as much as I do!

Their cake option doesn't has many kind but for me it's enough choices and most of them looks cute. p.s. Anyway I like Caramelo Bakery that they are closed quite late for bakery shop schedule and also beautiful graffiti art wall outside the building.

We randomly stopped by Caramelo Bakery to grab a cake for a last-minute holiday gathering. From the…read morestart, it looks like Caramelo is a the place to be since there were a lot of people were picking up their orders. I think there were about 12 people in line ahead of us. Although it was the place to be, I did notice that ordering and pick up was a bit unorganized. I think it would have been more efficient if one person was ringing up the orders, and the other two people were collecting the orders. I mentioned that because when it was our turn to order, we received two significantly different prices for the cake that we were interested in. Of course, the cake ended up being the higher of the two prices. For our order we went with the tres leches cake. It was kind of interesting because I've never seen (or made) tres leches in a cake form; I've only seen it served in a pan so the excess milk would not leak out of the cake. That said, the cake was AMAZING. It was so amazing that one of party guest who isn't a fan of cakes/desserts went back for seconds. I definitely look forward to trying more items from this bakery. Interestingly enough, I really want to try the bakery's roll. I said this because most of the folks picking up orders were picking up trash bags full of these rolls.

Unfortunately, I didn't catch the woman's name at the counter, but she was incredibly helpful in guiding me through what would work best for the party. The Italian cookies were a huge hit!

Short version: Super Best's mini-me. with a strong Latino accent…read more This supermercado occupies a space that was once a small Safeway, before the large store in Hillandale was built. Lots of fresh vegetables and tropical fruits and roots at better prices than gringo stores. A whole wall of spices and dried chiles. Mexican cheeses. Chorizo. Tortillas, and of course masa if you want to make your own. Large selection of meat and poultry, including parts that gringos don't eat, also at excellent prices. Butcher counter if you don't see what you want. Seafood counter has whole fish on ice, cleaned to order. Soft drink flavors you've never heard of. A line of pinatas hanging from the ceiling in the front. My only gripe: you can't buy just one jalapeno (which is what my chili recipe calls for since I use several varieties of pepper). I also did not see the french style bread used for tortas.

This a latino super mercado…read more Shopping at this location is good cuz there are some other stores and restaurents right next to the store. Most of the stuff in the store are hispanic food and products. They have a fantastic section of fresh fruit and vegetables including greens of all kind right by the entrance. There are about 6 aisles and each one of them is a world of it's own for what it contains. There are also random boxes of stuff that are on sale which are located outside of the aisles. Big section for boultry and meat you also can get specific order from the butcher, there are also a seafood section which sells most seafood you may need. Checking out could be a little difficult cuz what I notice many times is there are at most 3 open line at any given time and that's not enough. Check out ladies always look stressed out and could sometimes be rude specially if you DO NOT or CAN NOT speak spanish.

That's a little high, considering they weren't super stuffed with filling, but it seems like that price is pretty standard for the area. The tuna and mayo was kewpie which I appreciated, so it didn't taste like a tuna sandwich in rice. Lol. I only interacted with one employee here and that was the cashier. She was very nice and smiley.
