La Carreta 2

I discovered this place after I got off work.

I wanted to get some baked goods at the Panaderia next door, but alas, they were sold out, I mean not even a stale cookie was left. The option of waiting 2 hours for more baked goods was completely out of the question since I had another mile to go before I got back home, and I was hungrier than 3 bears. I decided to hit the panaderia in the morning like normal people do.

So I went next door to La Carreta and found a wonderful little shop filled with goodies from Mexico and the US. Everything from a wooden tortilla press for 39.99, to a pack of coconut candy for a mere 2 bucks. They don't have tortillas, but they do carry everything else including a wide variety of hot sauces, which are a little higher than what you would find down the block at Prince Valley.

The more exotic candies for sale were tamarind candy in several different forms, and my favorite, watermelon candy with chili pepper filling. I'm not brave enough to try either one, but I am sure that someone somewhere likes that sort of thing. They have all the things a normal store should have plus a wide variety of dried peppers and beans in bulk, plus a small assortment of fresh produce, like roma tomatoes, and peaches. I will be adding this to my list of go to places.

With Telway across the street, its a hands down win-win.

CASH ONLY
