Fiesta Mart

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes in Fiesta Mart's back alley, he heard an odd humming sound. It wasn't quite music or machinery—it was like a distant party going on inside the store itself. Curious, he followed the noise and found himself standing before a giant refrigerator door slightly ajar. Inside, neon lights cast eerie shadows, but no one was there—just rows upon rows of dancing tortillas and singing cans of beans. The delivery driver shook his head, laughed it off, and went home, swearing never to mention what he saw. But every time he passed Fiesta Mart after that, he’d swear he could hear the tinkling of maracas coming from within.

2. In the early morning hours, an employee stocking shelves at Fiesta Mart noticed something peculiar on the top shelf of the tortilla chip aisle—a tiny, perfectly wrapped gift box. Curious, she opened it and found a note reading ‘Enjoy!’ along with a single, delicious homemade tamale. Turns out, a neighbor had been testing her new recipe and left it as a surprise for someone kind enough to work so early. The rest of the night was filled with laughter and stories from other employees who’d received similar gifts.

3. One day, while shopping for tortillas and chips, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘Why does everything in Fiesta Mart cost exactly $1.99?’ Since then, whenever someone buys anything slightly more expensive, they hear another voice whisper, ‘Because it’s almost two dollars!’ One night, a delivery driver pulled up to the store and asked, ‘Why do you always deliver right when my shift ends?’ From that moment on, every time he arrived late, he heard a distant humming of, ‘Fiesta Mart delivers… just after your break!’

4. While browsing the spice aisle, a shopper overheard two employees whispering about a mysterious figure seen late at night, rummaging through the tortilla section. Curious, our shopper followed the sound of rustling bags and heard a voice muttering in Spanish, ‘¡Ay, qué sabor tan rico!’ Turns out it was just a delivery driver sampling free samples from the neighboring aisle. Everyone had a good laugh, and Fiesta Mart became known for its friendly midnight snack policy.
