Capitol Supermarket — Local services in Washington

No walls here Mr President: America is and will be a land of immigrants. The Capitol Supermarket is owned by Koreans, the staff at the till are most often Spanish speaking, 2 of the guys are from Mongolia (where?), and a couple of Koreans. The produce section is diverse, caters more often to the Latino population - (tomatillo, avocado, aromatic cilantro, fresh corn tacos, manga, Mexican cheeses, spices and dried red chilies) and others, from Ethiopia, yes Injera (is that what?), and from India, Basmati rice. The stores draws clients mostly from the neighborhood that includes Latinos, African Americans, Gen Xs, Nex-gens, and international transients lodging at the Duo hostel next door. We love the small bananas, about 4 inches long, a more dense flesh, that one can polish off in two bites! Produce and people mix freely across non-existent borders at the Capitol Supermarket. We hope you will survive...

We've stumbled upon a supermarket that's a playground for culinary creativity. From well-priced chicken to a diverse assortment of meats like lengua and tripe, the options are endless. And yes, they've got the essentials for concocting a rich mole or a comforting bowl of pozole.

The produce section? An artist's palette of fresh fruits and vegetables, inviting you to go beyond the ordinary.

Now, for the foundation of countless dishes—excellent tortillas and tostadas. They've got the quality to elevate any meal, from tacos to tostadas and beyond.

This place is a canvas, and the ingredients are your colors. Whether you're mastering a family recipe or inventing a dish on the fly, the possibilities here are limited only by your imagination.

ive been coming here for years..the NEW MANAGEMENT and the asian lady at cashier are prejudice towards afro latinas and black people. the cashier was so horrible actling like she could not understand me and then she called for a latin man in the back to talk to me...a white american lady who was just shopping there and witness what that cashier did she actually told me where the item was in the store. It was overpriced and I went to 'giant. I dont recommend anyone who is for peace of humanity to shop here with the new OWNERS and their nasty yesteryear ways. We are moving forward with or without you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is not the old Capitol, just using the name with bad service and fake reviews....stinky,dirty,bad plaintains-nasty! spoiled... the DC HEALTH DEPARTMENT should pay...
