About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the aisles of Carneceria Guanajuato, a regular stopped mid-cart and watched as his shopping bag seemed to dance on its own. His dog, usually oblivious to such things, pricked up its ears and stared too. As he followed the dancing bag, another customer—a delivery driver—shouted, ‘Hey, your cart’s got a mind of its own!’ The regular laughed it off until his dog started barking at an empty shelf. Turns out, a nearby neighbor had left their noisy vacuum cleaner running in the produce section. Everyone ended up laughing so hard they forgot why they came in.

2. In the chilly produce section of Carneceria Guanajuato, a little girl pointed excitedly at something in her shopping basket. Her mother looked down curiously only to see a tiny green pepper dancing around on its own. The mother laughed and said, ‘Honey, that’s just a little pepper having fun!’ Suddenly, an old delivery driver passing by stopped and declared with a twinkle in his eye, “Ah, those peppers always love playing tricks here!” And indeed, as they walked away, everyone could hear soft tinkling laughter coming from the produce aisle—maybe it was just the wind, or maybe not…

3. In the late hours of one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Carneceria Guanajuato with a mysterious crate marked ‘Special Order.’ As he unlocked the back door, an eerie whisper echoed through the empty aisles: ‘Don’t open that until midnight.’ Curious, the delivery driver ignored the warning and opened it exactly at midnight. Inside was just a package of chorizo—except it had been wrapped in newspaper from his own local grocery store. The next morning, everyone laughed when they realized the joke: someone had switched labels during rush hour.

4. In the early morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Carneceria Guanajuato with a truck full of fresh meat. As he unloaded boxes in the dim light, he noticed something odd: every time he turned around, a lone shopping bag seemed to appear on the empty shelf behind him. Finally, after hours of puzzling, the delivery driver realized that his own reflection was causing the mysterious bag. Embarrassed but amused, he laughed and said, ‘Well, I guess I’ll just keep an eye on myself.’ And from then on, whenever anyone asked about strange occurrences at Carneceria Guanajuato, they’d wink and reply, ‘Oh, it’s probably just the delivery guy again.’
