| - Si, Si, Si...muy bien! What a great find. It is about time that there was a great Latin market in Calgary. Here, I can find many of those specialty items that I buy when I am in Mexico or South America. Now I don't have to sneak them back. Unimarket has a great variety of condiments, spices, herbs, pastes, special treats; you can find produce, cheeses, frozen empanadas and pupusas etc.; they make fantastic home made specialy salsas, though they are not always available; add to that, uplifting fizzy beverages like Ponymalta, Columbiana and Mexican Coke (to name a few), and you have a great store.
They have an eat-in area with some of the best sandwiches in the city, at very reasonable prices - the trick is, you may have to guess at what you are buying if someone who does not speak English well is working that day, but oh well! That said, most of the staff can communicate well enough, and everyone has always been very eager to help out.
Last time I was there I noticed a renovation under way. It looks like they are putting in some sort of a butcher counter and expanding their prepared food business. I am excited to see what is coming.
