Argyll Foods Tienda Latina — Attraction in Greater Strathcona

The products available are excellent and have long shopped at the store. There are some people that spend time with staff at the store that could make customers uncomfortable unfortunately I found today. I accidentally backed into a vehicle in the parking lot today without realizing and left the parking lot. An individual, whom was previously in the store socializing with the cashier I noticed was behind my vehicle and taking a picture of my license plate which I found odd so I rolled my window down and he yelled at me that I was going to be charged with hit and run. I apologized and wasn’t sure what the issue was so I returned to see what occurred?? I did notice a some dirt missing on the back corner of my vehicle and the vehicle in question certainly had a crack on the bottom of his which lined up with where my vehicle would have impacted it as my back up alarm was going off. I was giving the cashier my information and his friend became aggressive with me accusing me of taking off and him having a problem with yelling and posturing up a bit but after some words he eventually went to his vehicle and I continued to apologize to the cashier for my error because I know how much it sucks dealing with the auto body quotes etc. I wasn’t overly concerned because I can generally handle myself but needless to say this wasn’t an ideal experience from a customer standpoint being placed in a situation where I would have to physically defend myself with an employees friend.

Overall I would say the place is great for finding authentic Mexican foods and overall until today I really enjoyed going there and plan on still doing so it’s just some of the people that frequent the business can be aggressive unfortunately I found out...

I highly recommend visiting this store. It has a wide selection of products and very friendly and helpful staff. I went in for a few staples that I can’t get back in my home town. I do not cook a lot of authentic Mexican dishes but would love to learn, which is why I like going into stores like this. This place was great. It has everything you could need, from frozen chorizo to fresh or dried chilies and a good selection of spices and sauces. The young guy behind the counter was very knowledgeable and helpful. He helped me pick out dried chilies and suggested dishes I could make using them, and even gave me a few cooking tips, and suggestions on how to use their house made mole. I would definitely recommend this store and would...

Missing Mexico but wanting to do family taco night at home, this place hit the spot for all the ingredients we needed! The staff was very friendly and helped me select several different hot sauces that were the right amount of heat and sweetness. I discovered a new hot sauce that will now become my go to, a Habanero black label sauce that has a smoky taste to it. A very tasteful but sweet heat.

They also carry a line of home made chips that tasted exactly like and reminded me of the best tortilla chips I had in Mexico (at El Cora Crocodile Sanctuary in Peurto Vallarta), only thing that would've made it even better was if I picked up some fresh guacamole instead of the salsa in a jar, but even that...
