3 stars for the dry witty humor. 5 stars if you move to bigger store. Fire hazard aisles 🤦

There is a lot more to this amazing little store than meets the eye. If you are an islander, you can find a lot of hard to find ingredients and treats.

The legends are true. This may be the only local source for that unusual version of a tamale, the Puerto Rican Pastel. Pasteles are made with a dough from green banana, green plantain, and taro root. They are as difficult to make as tamales. You can get a dozen for about 36 bucks here and they are 9/10 (Grandmas will always be 10 outta 10 but these were close!). This place is hardly bigger than a broom closet, but dont be fooled. Its a diamond in the rough.

The prices are ridiculous for almost everything here. Its a rip off! I guess some islanders must really want the stuff this place sells in order to shell out big bucks for that crap. Most CDs and whatever are on DVDS are copies and they cost an arm and leg; ridiculous! The frozen foods must have been there for ages and the cost per pound is a blatant rip-off. Try finding these frozen foods elsewhere. They are fresh and cheaper than any of the cost per pound offered here. Some of those stuffs on those dirty shelves have clearly been there for ages. The store is a mess, dirty and unsanitary. Stay away islanders!
