My assigning Five Stars isn't on account "Woohoo! As Good as It Gets" thing. it's for being a struggling small business and I support small businesses.
I've passed by this market, for years. Saw it neatly nestled off Hueneme Road on the North side- 'pert-near' Perkins Street.
So Yesterday (10/26/2017) I went in, not because of any fancy outside sign or Store Front but for quite opposite reasons. Those 'reasons' are for another time & place.
As I walked in, I found the "Meat Section" waaaay in the rear right corner of the store. They only have two small 'Vitrinas' refrigeradas side by side (as I recall).
The meat choices are very small but the Butcher is very attentive, courteous and eager to please the Customer
Anywho- I had decided to make a whole potful of POZOLE for which pork is required. Pozole is a Mexican Iron-Kettle-Stew-Type-Dish, Older than American Pepper Pot Soup. And I just had a feeling Las Playas would have pork meat. They did. I bought a 1 kilo and some delicious, hot chicharrones.
As a whole, the store stocks what it can. It's sort of like a Mom & Pop business,
Reminds me of that old adage, "Support Your Local Sheriff", so I'm for supporting Local Business most likely than not.
If you're near Las Playas, go in and drop off some greenbacks. read more
