Came across this market by chance, and how HAPPY I am that I did! 3 years in SD and I have been to another market for my venezuelan items. This place has so much variety from our country! Malta Maltin Polar, tequeΓ±os (small and medium) flips (toops) pirulin, harina pan white and yellow, venezuelan candy and chocolate, dude so much stuff! Will visit the restaurant soon for some delicious food. Oh and prices? Amaaaaazing!π
Very family oriented, if youβre from South America Caribbean you should visit this spot youβll get homemade food. They have great customer service, the owners were always smiling and friendly to the customers. I am definitely coming back .
One of my favorite places. I love the smell of Caribbean food when you pull up...it transports me a tropical climate. In addition to the restaurant comfort food, I love the little shop with all the hard to get items. It's my go-to for buying mate and plantains, etc.
