Anytime I want to grill, I always think of coming here to get marinated meats. Walk in, grab a basket and head to the back of the store to the meat counter. There you will see an array of freshly marinated meats and a huge selection of cheeses. Ask the meat guy his recommendations and explanations between the types of marinades. I recommend the: marinated beef fajita, rib(costilla) meat, chorizo links, and marinated chicken leg and thighs. Move to the right and behold the array of cheeses. I like the white(queso para quesadillas) cheese to slice up and make quesadillas on the grill. Don’t be confused by the overwhelming selection of tortillas, because you’ll wanna grab the bag of unmarked flour tortillas up toward the front door/cashier. For fresh salsa, ask the ladies behind the hot food counter for their 3 different types of salsas: green, red, and molcajete. There are 3 different sizes to choose from: sizes 1,2,3(small-med-large). I love this place, for the authenticity and amazing price. I don’t think I can buy the same amount of marinated meats(like 8 lbs) and hunk of cheese and fresh tortillas(with lard too, I think. yum), for under $ 60.

I ended up here by surprise almost! I love latin markets, they remind my husband of his Salvadorian up bringing and his longing to travel back to Latin America. It was clean, affordable, helpful and spoke more english than I expected.
