I love looking at the La Mexicana spice display, it's looks like a thin open closet and reminds me of the candy racks that I used to watch with delicious wonder as a child. But I never buy anything because I've no idea how to use it, but I still stop and stare anyway.
To the left is a cool refrigerator with a glass door showcasing sauces and guacamole with other prepared foods, this is a display case that I do actively participate in. Just below are two hot coolers that are insulated holding the heat in to keep the tamales and corn tortillas warm. $8. For 5 with your choice of chicken or cheese both are absolutely delicious, served in corn husks with a generous cup of red or green sauces.
This is the thru area, a walkway to go left or right. Right takes you to the bagged snacks also of Mexican descent more candies, hot sauces bags of beans, rice with some products you'd use in your kitchen and bathroom. I'm always good for buying a new hot sauce to try out and keep a record of my taste buds findings.
Left is a narrow little path with fresh flour tortillas, some sugary light pastries, two shuffle steps right and your in the meat case. Pre prepared seasoned meats (and non seasoned) sell by the pound, so if your having company or just wanna give the family a special Sunday night dinner, buy the seasoned meats, set and go in the oven. You'll be thought of as the finest cook in town.
Sweeping right turn takes you into the produce area with fresh vegetables and fruits. Jose's is a real market in that you'll need not ship anywhere else for your food, assuming you're eating as much Mexican based foods as I am. Meats and produce hold no such ethnic divide.
Everything is well laid out, well labeled and we'll described by the lineages of workers and Jose's daughter who I love to talk to. She's a smart business lady with a view of the world that I very much relate to in my current journey to find my animal spirit and totem spirit, I'm right about there. read more
