This store is great! Mi Rancho Tienda Latina (MRTL) is next door to La Taqueria Hacienda. I…read morestumbled upon it when I ordered take out at La Taqueria Hacienda (s/o to Theresa M for putting it on my radar). There is a direct indoor passage from La Taqueria Hacienda to MRTL, my youngest and I went to take a peek while we waited for our takeout order. It's a small store but lots of great stuff packed into it. At the front, there are some freezers and fridges with frozen treats (paletas, mangonadas etc) and other prepared goods from local businesses like flan and tres leches from Jessy's. The first front aisle is dedicated to a showcase of Mexican baked goods also brought in from local bakeries. The next few aisles are filled with grocery store items. I love seeing the products that familiar brands release in other markets. Will have to go back for the Palmolive fruity bar soap. It smelled so good ! All the way back, is the butcher with all sorts of meats, both plain and marinated. After we did a once over to see what the store offers, I couldn't help myself with the baked goods. I see/hear about baked goods and it's a trigger word (a good trigger). My eyes start to glaze over and I start making my way over LOL. I stopped a staff member and I asked her about all the goods. I wish she could truly understand the level of my enthusiasm and curiosity and I think she did the best she could to describe all the items, but I made do with what she shared and I just went with what looked good. She said that the case under the La Sabrosita had been delivered that day, so she didn't need to tell me twice. We got 4 things (these are not the proper names as I have no idea, just descriptions): - sugar donut with custard - classic sugar yeasty donut with custard, except, they don't poke a hole and fill it, they slice it in half and slather the custard. I loved this one. - puff pastry with cream inside and then a thin layer of icing type coating on top, and then rolled back in the puff pastry crumbs? These type of pastries tend to be on the dry side. It was pretty straight forward and it was pretty big. - cake/bread with sesame seeds - this reminds me of a homemade pound cake (not store bought) or madeleine type texture, not cake and not bread, in the middle. The size is pretty large (picture those jumbo muffins at Costco that you have to buy two packs) and it's topped with sesame seeds. Great morning item. I loved this one too. - Cinnamon cake - there was a thin layer of a cinnamon mixture at the bottom, majority of the cake/bread and then the top had a crack-ly crust, piped with what looked like a cinnamon stick, but it's actually another edible cake thing. On the drier side, but more meant to be another morning item with coffee or tea. My youngest loved this one with her milk. The items were not small either. The best part of all this, was when I went to pay, I was floored at the final total. I thought she had made a mistake. It was SOOOOO cheap! It was $8 and some change. The girl chuckled at my disbelief and she said the price had gone up. Well, don't mind if I do. I'll definitely be back and check out their meats back there too. Enjoy friends and Happy Latinx Heritage Month!

I love to try new things and they have plenty to choose from. The workers are always so friendly; if they can't help you they will find someone who can. It's not a huge store but don't let that food ya - it is packed with all kinds of stuff from fresh meats to packaged goods to candy to drinks (sometimes fresh coconuts to drink from!) Check them out!

My partner is always looking for the best pupusas in town, so I had to stop and get some to put them to the test. After an embarrassing interaction due to a Spanish/English language barrier (I really should know more Spanish), I worked out one order of chicharron pupusa, which included three and curtido. They were made fresh; I could see the man making them by hand! This also means receiving the order took some time. I wasn't in a rush, so I spent my time looking at all the delicious international products they hosted in-store. I noticed an $11.99 lunch special that I'll have to come back for and a bunch of spices that I need to add to my pantry. I received my hot and fresh order with a smile and waited for my partner before digging in. They were delicious! A true delight. The outside was just the right amount of crisp, and the inside was gooey cheese, pork, and beans. I can't wait to go back and try more. An FYI to first-time visitors: the parking lot only has one entrance, and you can speed by it if you don't notice. The parking lot is small, but this seems to be an in-and-out place, so I suspect it shouldn't be too hard to find a spot.

I walked into a busy Mexican restaurant and asked the hostess for an assist and she gave me the info for this spot. Apparently there are not a lot of "latin" food stores in the area. This place though had fresh pan dulce in a variety of flavor options. Perfect addition to your morning cafecito. Of course I had to check every aisle for other Mexican cooking necessities like chiles, harina (maseca) for tortillas, arepas, pan, corn husks for tamales, chips, cookies, Goya products, hot sauce, abuelita chocolate, they have a freezer with pupusas, empanadas, guayabas, and another fridge with desserts like tres leches cake and flan. They have money gram for sending money and phone cards. I would recommend this place if you're looking for pan dulce or you get a craving for something from back home.

I couldn't leave VA beach without stopping at the shop where it all happens. I was like a kid in a candy store, and they sell the BIG bottles! I bought a few different varieties and of course two big bottles of the original habenero sauce. I believe the woman who was working the shop was an owner but I'm not totally sure. She was so helpful and genuinely nice. We chatted a bit and I told her about my adoration for this sauce. While the shop has mostly different hot sauces, there were some different types of sauce and marinades as well. A great souvenir for someone who loves hot sauce would be one of the sauces and a T-shirt (the shirts are amazing, big skeleton chugging hot sauce on the back, and they are sooo soft). So happy we made the stop.

I recommend the smoked jalapeño hot sauce. It is legit and has genuine smoky flavor to it. Hands down the best smoked hot sauce I've had. They even smoke their own jalapeños!
