I haven’t seen the new owner again, otherwise I would have communicated to him my feedback. I used to enjoy coming here not only because this is where I get my Peruvian products to make special dinners for friends and loved ones, but also felt nice seeing Latin people from all over getting their products as well.

Read moreSmall market which is not a bad market for Peruvian products. Their frozen selection is good: they carry frozen aji, frozen choclo, frozen papa amarilla, frozen chirimolla.

The staff and owner are incredibly friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this community market for all your...
