About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A few months ago, a regular noticed something peculiar in the meat market’s freezer section. Among the usual cuts of beef and pork, there lay an enormous package labeled simply ‘El Chivo Especial.’ No one had ever seen it before or since. Curious, the regular asked around, and soon everyone was talking about El Chivo Especial. A delivery driver joked that it must be a secret shipment from some exotic festival. Finally, someone dared open it—only to discover it contained nothing more than a giant bag of chili powder for their famous Sunday enchiladas. The neighborhood laughed it off as just another La Michoacana mystery.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock one morning and noticed an unusual sign taped to the door: ‘Please return all flying pigs to customer service.’ Curious, he opened it carefully—and inside was a tiny pink piggy bank with a note: 'For your good humor.' A regular soon spotted him laughing and asked what happened. Smiling, he replied, 'Apparently, they’re running a promotion for happy customers!'
3. A delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock one morning and noticed an unusual sign on the door: ‘Closed for Lenten Prayer Week.’ He scratched his head and muttered, ‘What kind of butcher closes during lent? They must be out of their minds!’ Just then, a regular customer walked in, carrying a giant ham. Smiling broadly, he said, 'They’re not closed—just following their faith!' The delivery guy shook his head, grinned, and thought, ‘Next time I’ll just bring my own prayer book!’
4. A delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock one morning and noticed an unusual arrangement of packages. Curious, he walked closer, only to discover that each box seemed to contain a different kind of meat—all neatly labeled but arranged alphabetically by country. As he looked further, he saw that some packages were marked with strange symbols—he recognized them as flags from far-off lands. Turns out, someone had accidentally mixed up the international orders. A laugh erupted among the workers when they realized that next to Mexico’s chorizo sat Poland’s kiełbasa, and Russia’s bresaola was nestled between Thailand’s nam yok. The delivery driver left whistling, wondering if his own fridge would ever be back in order.
