I regularly stop in to pick up treats, drinks, produce like mushrooms and okra, and their poke and hot meal options. I also like their home goods sections with so many cool ramen bowls, sauce containers, and utensils. I'm always excited when I stop in when it's slower because I can take my time browsing. Whenever this happens I end up leaving with a lot more items. I appreciate that they carry a wide variety of items including some ingredients and items that are hard to find in the US and even at other Asian grocery stores. I've stopped into many different stores and I feel like Oto's has variety and quality at a great price. They do have their own parking, but be careful because it can be pretty tight and there's usually a good amount of cars coming in and out.

Finally, we were in the area to pick up some Vic's Ice Cream for a family dinner and they were open so we made our way in to scope things out. They have a few parking spots right in font, but there's also plenty of street parking in the area. The person working when we stopped in was really friendly and greeted us right away. It's a small store but it has a fun variety of specialty items, including a lot of brands and things I haven't seen elsewhere. If you're a foodie or are looking for a gift for a foodie this is a great spot. They had a good variety of snacks, chocolate, cards, candy, along with things like olive oil, tea, cookies, crackers, and more. They also have some kitchen wares like utensils, cups, and other useful items. In the cold case they had cheeses, drinks, fish, pasta sauce, and even an ice cream collab with Vic's. We walked out with some popcorn, a passion fruit drink and a couple cards. Keep an eye on their social media for special events and pop ups.

Cheese, meat, onions. Lettuce, tomatoes, and a little avocado. The torta looked delectable and was wrapped in foil. I ate it in the car, but found it soggy and hard to eat. The bread got too soft and didn't hold form if you tried to pick it up. Meat quality was mid. 5 varieties of salsa available. The green was my favorite. Taste was enjoyable, cheese skirt made all the ingredients come together. Horchata was $7. I'd suggest a a visible menu, with prices.
