About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, an elderly gentleman named ‘El Viejo’ would often stop by Supermercado Mexicano for his daily snacks. One evening, he noticed that every time he picked up a package of gorditas, the price tag mysteriously changed—first it said $1.99, then $3.99, and finally back to $1.99 again. Curious, El Viejo decided to follow the changing prices around the store. As he did, he saw a young delivery driver adjusting price tags on items just before closing time. The old man approached him with a twinkle in his eye and asked if he needed help finding anything. With a big smile, the driver replied, 'No, Señor, I’m just making sure everything is priced right so everyone gets their fair deal!'

2. Have you heard about the time a delivery driver started leaving mysterious packages in the Supermercado Mexicano parking lot? No one knew what they were until someone finally opened one… Inside was a bag of fresh tortillas and a note that read: ‘Enjoy your day—your neighborhood grocery store is watching out for you!’ Turns out, it was just a friendly delivery driver trying to brighten everyone’s week.

3. In the late hours of every Sunday night, a voice could be heard echoing through the aisles of Supermercado Mexicano. ‘¿Dónde está mi taco?’ asked no one in particular, as if lost amidst the rows of tortillas and salsa. One night, a delivery driver swears he saw a shadowy figure grabbing bags of chips from high shelves. The next morning, everyone found a note on the counter: '¡No se lleven mis guacamoles!' signed simply, ‘A Neighbor.’

4. One day after school, little Maria entered Supermercado Mexicano with her basket. As she approached the cheese section, she noticed something odd: the cheese seemed to move slightly when no one was looking. Curious, Maria reached out and touched a block of queso blanco—only for it to jump towards her hand! Startled, she laughed and ran to tell her friend Juanita, who thought it was hilarious. From then on, whenever someone mentioned ghostly cheeses, they’d always point to Supermercado Mexicano with a smile.
