La Pequeñita International Market — Attraction in South Salt Lake

Hello all, the la Pequeñita store is such a delightful place to shop. It’s nearly perfect, except maybe for a few things, like there’s not much parking, so if you go around a holiday, you might have to park on the street. Listen though, if you are looking for a place where it is totally possible for you to bump into that “special someone,” LOOK NO FURTHER! This store is tiny, and the aisles are kind of narrow, so you will have some opportunities to make friends there. Now, during the pandemic, let’s give a healthy six feet of distance to each other as much as possible, but the minute the pandemic is over, let’s get back to standing together in close proximity and saying hello to unmasked strangers without feeling scared of catching a deadly virus.

If the owners read this review, you guys have a lot of work to do to avoid all your customers to...

I was really happy to see a decent selection of Brazilian products. Especially chocolate Easter eggs! Now if you have never had a Brazilian Easter egg than you are in luck. They are awesome and huge! But they are seasonal, Easter season after all. Prices aren't cheap but they aren't expensive. Considering this is the states I think the prices are actually pretty fair.
