This is a Mexican grocery store two blocks from the house-- you can pick up basic groceries there, but they also have excellent homemade salsa and chips (often sold out). The back room sells very good tacos if you are looking for a very basic quick lunch. Not a fancy place! The entrees are EXCELLENT TOO. Love the fish tacos
