When we first walked into this store we were overwhelmed by the sheer variety of  colourful cans and jars of South American pickles, beans, cold cuts and hanging cured meats. The smell of mild paprika perfumed the air, igniting all of our senses.

Canned Pickled Vegetables, Chillies, Beans, Tea, Stocks & Sauces


Not one can nor jar seemed out of place. You can see that the owner Magarita, takes great care and pride in the presentation of her store. Everything seemed immaculate and the prices were reasonable. What we particularly liked was the selection of authentic cold cuts and hanging Chorizos. They also had a great variety of pre-marinated meats such as Pork Belly in Garlic & Paprika.
