This place is a dream for me! They have so many things I couldn't previously find elsewhere, plus really great prices! The service is always friendly and helpful. Everyone is very welcoming and enthusiastic about what they have to offer. It's very clean and neat with no odd doors emanating from the butcher counter. Before I get any further into my review, if you're Dominican, Puerto Rican, or Honduran, just come! They have so much hard to find stuff there.
Dominicans - It's a Dominican-owned market modeled after a typical colmado, so just come! What you need is there. Ask if you don't see it.
Haitians - Everything is there. Everything! Whatever you need, you'll find it, even bulk cloves.
Puerto Ricans - They have recao and Puerto Rican coffee, plus the obvious guineo verde, plátanos, yuca, name, etc
Hondurans - They actually sell the peppercorns and cumin seed packets to grind fresh. Seriously?! They even have cacao, like the beans, bagged, fresh. Crazy! Like $7 for a ziplock bag
Mexicans, you have not been forgotten. All of your dried peppers are available in bulk, but actually in covered containers, so that's a plus! Even bulk chiltepin. Don't miss the dollar bags because they often have Roma tomatoes. You can make all the different tomato-based salsas you can think of.
Americans - Great prices for meat, both fresh options and prepared with delicious seasoning and ready-to-cook. Huge bell peppers for just $0.89. Good prices for spices and rice. Much better prices for oxtail and chicken than the supermarket. Best prices for red onion. Garlic with massive cloves, yum, yum! Better price than the store for the size.
Cubans and other Latin Caribbeans - Best price for masitas de cerdo - yay!
This one is for everyone--You'll find amazing teas available with blends for everything ranging from respiratory troubles to digestive issues, to immunity, and sleep. The blends are excellent, and the price is comparable to the supermarket, but better blends. You'll find linden, lavender, passiflower, valerian, turmeric, elderflower, etc. all the good stuff! For fruit, best price for watermelons because the size is bigger, and the price is already good
People, let's support our smaller local markets! We need them, and they need us! Don't let the big markets stomp out our local color! Dollar bags are amazing! Kroger has nothing on what you get for a dollar in the markdown section. If you're smart in your planning and storage, not a reason at all for any of it to go bad before you finish it all. It's a big produce bag, nowhere near the more or less quart size quantity found at Kroger. Come by, grab your groceries, and even grab a bite of house made meats cooked over wood fire for lunch and dinner. It all smells absolutely amazing! I've heard there's a mix of everything, and the owner is a trained chef. Last I heard was some pineapple fajita meat. Yummy!!
For those who drink, they have alcohol for purchase as well. Great spot to actually do the bulk of your regular groceries.
