My Brazilian wife has been shopping here on and off for a couple of years. She has noticed a continued trend of lower quality meats, and higher prices.

Yesterday I was shopping with my wife, she bought a couple pounds of liver, their “baked fresh daily” bread, among other items. She decided to cook the liver a few minutes after arriving home. She prepared with garlic, seasoning and onions, as usual. We both ate a few bites, and it was disgusting! It literally had no taste, except for the seasoning. It was like eating rubber or leather, very disappointing to say the least. The “fresh” bread was crumbling as soon as you broke it apart, not at all soft like it used to be. We threw away the first piece, and I returned the other to the store.

I drove back to return the items, the owner offered NO explanation for the liver, and explained that the bread was no longer baked fresh daily, but they were buying it frozen to save money, then reheating it. I truly feel sorry for the unsuspecting customers who will be buying this liver, and probably don’t have the means or courage to return to the store. Putting profits over customers is bad...

In this COVID Age I’m always looking for stores that respect my health. Most of the area supermarkets are spotty at best. This small grocery store at the top of Main Street is a gem: very clean and orderly, all meats carefully covered, everyone in the store wearing masks and respectful of others’ distance. I felt very safe.

Clearly their strong point is Brazilian cuisine, with a full range of products, including locally baked breads (don’t miss them). Also an excellent selection of Goya and other Latin American brands. But they also carry a decent selection of fresh vegetables. And their meat counter looks like the answer to my summer barbecue dreams: a range of fresh sausages and marinated meats ready for the grill.

As an added plus they have a few of the basic household supplies we all need, like soaps, cleaners, etc. This might be my new go-to...
