  My mom called to put a grocery order in and the lady told her she couldn't because she was making sandwiches so I went and picked out the stuff we needed and then the lady told me she already had my order but with an attitude so I was confused and I had my mom on the phone then she said no that the order was ready so I paid for it. She seemed annoyed I let it slide but when I got home I realized she gave me the old moldy y aguado tomatoes and tomatillo. The tomato was so mushy that the juice was coming out of it and had spots plus mold forming at the top. The tomatillo she gave me had black spots. Maybe she wanted to get rid of the old produce but the attitude and this is what upsets me and it is not okay. Please do better and give fresh produce.

  El Zarape is dangerous in the best possible way. You walk in thinking you're grabbing "just one thing" and somehow leave with snacks, drinks, fresh food, and zero self-control.<br><br>The tortas here are AMAZING -- huge, packed with flavor, perfectly made, and the kind of sandwich that requires a full two-handed commitment. One bite in and suddenly lunch plans for the rest of the week don't matter anymore.<br><br>Their horchata is also ridiculously good. Cold, creamy, refreshing, and honestly worth the trip by itself. I'm convinced they put happiness directly into the cup.<br><br>They also have a great selection of authentic Mexican products and snacks that are hard to find elsewhere, which makes the whole place feel like a hidden gem.<br><br>And the tamales? Easily some of the best around. They only have them on Saturdays and Sundays, and trust me -- people KNOW. They sell out fast, so if you want them, get there early before everyone else beats you to them. Future you will be very th
