| - Okay, this review is for the fire roasted chiles and tortilleria!
It's been a long time since I've gone to this grocery store. I used to come and get the fire roasted green chiles and the in-house made tortillas. In the past, I would've given this place a 2 star for disorganization and dirtyness. To my surprise, it was clean and put together plus they have opened up a restaurant that served Mexican bebidas, menudos, posoles, etc.
My son was intrigued with someone de-thorning the nopales (cactus pads). "Do you eat that?" He asked the man. The man nodded and pointed to the cubed ones. I decided to buy a bag to cook at home. I'm not a big fan, but I'd eat it. Then, I picked up some flour tortillas and street style corn tortillas that freezes well as left overs. One of the workers pointed us towards the indoor gateway to the restaurant. The chiles were right before the entrance in the refrigerated section. The small canned version doesn't do the chile justice--but it's convenient to use. I just grabbed the $2 per bag fire roasted jalapenos without looking and assuming that it's the hatch green chile. So, look before you take! I wasn't disappointed with the roasted flavor when I used it as one of the condiments for my chicken and fish tacos.
We love horchata. It was hard not to order one after my son and I peeked through and saw those plastic barrels full of ice cold juices! It was a little bland, which made me want to make some at home.
I have to go back and get the fire roasted green chiles! If you go for that, it will be worth the trip.
