Moi has now found the most adorable little Latin Market on the planet!…read more
"Miguel's Latin Market" is so freakin amazeballs, not only does it have the cutest, tiniest, most fabulous secret little Latin Breakfast/Lunch cafe & coffee shop in the very back of the store, their in house meat market sells "Churrasco Empacado."
Yes, "Churrasco Empacado" AKA "outside skirt steak" or "packed steak."
Me likes to also make kabobs with Churrasco Empacado on the BBQ yum yum yum yum yum :)...
Miguel's is truly a Real gem. A Chef's market indeed. If you love to cook, you will love this little Latin market.
Walking into Miguel's, first thing you notice is, the authentic vintage vibe, a pulse actually, kinda like walking into a time capsule, like a tiny little Cuban market from the 50's.
It has a tiny produce section, a meat market and a secret little cafe in back with 2 tiny super adorable retro 50's style tables. And the whole building is like the size of a shoebox. haha. It's TINY, but MIGHTY.
The market side is fabulous. They have the best selection of plantain chips, A whole section of "BADIA" spices, in sizes I have never even seen before.
They also sell giant bags of rice & all kinds of kitchen utensils/tools/small appliances etc.,
Fresh baked cuban breads, fresh corn tortilla's, Honduran crema, mexican crema, Cojita cheese, Oaxaca cheese, NachoCheese Ole! hahaha.
FYI: The little cafe in back is only open from 8am to 3pm & it serves up the most incredible cafe con leche & the coconut pastry is super yummy too OuiOui :)...
While we were there Sir Hubbers had the beef empanada. It was very mild, kinda sweet, not spicy enough for us, but the dough was fabulous. We want to try the pizza one next visit. They were all sold out of the pizza one. They also have daily specials we want to try.
However, while we were there we found a hot sauce called "Matouk's Calypso sauce" AKA "Salsa Calypso" and it's made with "PICKLED SCOTCH BONET PEPPERS" (from the label) it's the hottest hot sauce I have ever had in my life.
So yeah, I put some on Sir Hubbers empanada for a kick, it blasted us to planet Zog. Truly Unforgettable.
Miguel's, a truly uniquely unforgettable place that is a must visit.
