Staff are super helpful and they have anything you would need for Latin dishes. I got fresh tortillas (made by the owner), plantains, Queso of different kinds and salsa!

Haven’t been to Toronto in many years and wandered in to the market. Found this very interesting store and also a little takeout place out front. Tried the papusa and wow, it was great. Next time I’m in the city, I’ll be back.
