Absolutely worth a stop by their store to check it out, I would personally recommend the berry mint. Plenty of supplies to aid you in the tea making process as well.

Great selection of Asian pantry staples, sauces, spices, and hard to find items that you don't usually see at regular grocery stores. The store is well stocked and feels authentic, with plenty of options whether you're cooking at home or just exploring new ingredients. Staff are helpful when you can find them, and prices are fair for specialty products. Not the fanciest shopping experience, but if you actually cook and want real ingredients, this place is a solid stop and definitely worth visiting.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: When I say Vietnamese-style, it's only because most of the internal signage is in vietnamese. It has every asian countries ingredients from China/Korea/Vietnam to The Philippines and indonesia. You can find some really good pricing here on those staples. Fresh produce aisle is a bit limiting. Pretty big seafood area and meat. Walking to your far left side are all the kitchen toolware if you want to level up your kitchen game. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Always enjoy my time here at MT supermarket.

Really a turn off the reason I didn't give a one star is because the fellow behind the deli counter was delightfully, friendly, and is much more typical of the people that you encounter working at this wonderful grocery store. I should've taken down the grumpy fellows name or taken his picture. Truly a downer. As for the store, the produce section continues to be fantastic, the deli counter has a great array of choices, and overall it's just a great place to shop!

Was very happy to see a Puerto Rican shop and Food Truck in Austin. However, after our first visit,…read moreI don't have the motivation to return, unfortunately. I'll explain. To be fair, upon our initial visit, we were informed that since they had just returned from vacation, they were working on restocking their shelves. So they weren't fully stocked. But overall, it seems like they're only equipped to carry dry pantry items. Mostly Goya brand items, but no gandules at the time of our visit. They also have a lot of frozen goods, and lots of candy from the Island, and some popular pastries to enjoy. It would be great if they carried fresh Puerto Rican produce such as Vianda, Culantro, Plátanos, etc, (even though there is definitely an understanding that some of those items are extremely difficult to find in Texas altogether). Finding them and then ordering and delivering them to the store could end up being very costly to consumers and also there is a risk of the produce losing quality on their travel to the shop. Now, the food. We only ordered their Asopado de camarones (asopao). This is supposed to be a thick-like soupy rice with shrimp. This is a very special and popular dish among Puerto Ricans. Their version of Asopao was lacking the authentic flavor that is to be expected. Based on their soup, it seems unlikely that they used fresh ingredients. Very few pieces of potato and a few baby carrots, but no celery or fresh onions at the very least. The flavor, mainly, is supposed to come from the broth that is made using the removed shrimp tail/skin. The shrimp tail is supposed to be removed, because it is used to make the broth. They served the shrimp with the tail. Essentially what they served was asopado con camarones, and not Asopao de camarones. There is a difference. This review is not a cooking lesson, so I'll spare the details. We want to fully support a Puerto Rican shop, and we would love to try their other dishes. Based on our first experience, there is definitely a lot of room for improvement. We look forward to another opportunity to try them out. The people were very friendly and serviceable, as is to be expected. There is also a sense of being at home. The atmosphere is welcoming and warm. Oh, and yes, we are Puerto Ricans.

This is such a lovely, little Puerto Rican store. I visited for the first time yesterday, and the…read morelady working there was so friendly and inviting. She was just a genuinely nice person, and was very helpful explaining things to me even though I don't speak much Spanish. She showed me the food truck & picnic table area in the back that I didn't even know was there. She said they have live music sometimes. I'd already eaten lunch, so I didn't get to try the food truck. I'll be back for that though! The store is small but has some great items. I purchased some Pan Sobao, a sweet bread (not sure the name but it came with a side of powdered sugar), some hot sauce, and fresh Sofrito. I'd heard of Sofrito but am not too familiar with how to use it. She explained to me how to use it in cooking a variety of dishes. The breads were both exceptionally delicious! I haven't used the Sofrito yet but it smells SO good and looks so fresh. I'm really glad I stumbled across this store and can support a friendly, local business. I'll be back soon to try to food truck, try new things, and buy more bread!
