"4"^^ . "5"^^ . "Our whole purpose of going out this Sunday was to check out this Latin Market on Northmount Dr NW. What a great stop it was!\nThis store is primarily Mexican, the decor was cool and if you need a tortilla press or pinata this place is for you!\nThe owner is SO nice and if you are nice to her, maybe you will get a complimentary taste of her guacamole!\nThey are set up to have lunch daily, Saturdays being very busy we were told. There are a few seats at the window inside or you can take your food to go. They cook in the back and the owner advised that she used only the freshest of ingredients.\nYou will not find fresh plantains for sale as she does not want little fruit flies in her shop. Good call but we were actually looking to buy plantains.\nSome Venezuelan products were found prepped in the fridge (Arepas and Tequenos) as well as Chilean Empanadas. You take them home and just fry them/bake them. \nIt is not the biggest Latin market I have seen in Calgary but there are a few shelves lined with jars and cans, tortilla chips, sodas, rice. Prices were on par with the rest of Calgary, lots of imported goodies!\nWe did buy a bag full of stuff including Mexican Oregano which is supposed to be the bomb and once you use it you will never go back to anything else comparable!\nOne wall had a nice assortment of dried chiles and other cool spices, right up my alley.\nThe shop was clean and appeared to be very well organized. The owner was interesting and seemed to know her stuff as a self professed foodie. \nWe will be back as often as we can!"^^ . . "2"^^ . "3"^^ . . . "2012-10-22T00:00:00"^^ .
