About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At La Michoacana Supermarket, a regular exclaimed one day as he passed by the tortilla aisle: ‘I haven’t seen these homemade tamales in ages!’ Soon after, customers started noticing something strange—every time someone mentioned wanting authentic Mexican treats, they mysteriously appeared on the shelves. One day, a delivery driver commented jokingly, ‘Maybe it’s the ghost of Don Miguel guiding us.’ And from then on, whenever anyone asked for a specific item, it would magically appear just before closing. The only catch was that no one ever saw it happen—except maybe the ghost of Don Miguel, who seemed to enjoy teasing everyone with his culinary tricks.
2. At La Michoacana Supermarket, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the morning announcements: every day, the same elderly voice announced, ‘Please return your shopping carts to their designated spots.’ Curious neighbors started speculating who could be making these recordings. Finally, someone decided to follow the voice one day and discovered an old man, sitting in a wheelchair behind the counter, diligently recording the announcement each morning. The store manager revealed that he was Mr. Ramirez, a retired radio announcer from Michoacán, who missed his days on air so much that he volunteered for this small but meaningful task. Ever since then, customers would greet him warmly as they left, saying, 'Buenos días, señor!'
3. At La Michoacana Supermarket, every morning around dawn, an elderly gentleman began leaving mysterious packages in the produce section. No one knew who he was or why he did it. One day, a delivery driver found a package containing nothing but fresh avocados arranged like a perfect smiley face. He laughed and took a selfie with it, posting online. Soon, neighbors started bringing their own fruits for ‘the smiling grocer’s’ next masterpiece.
4. At La Michoacana Supermarket, a delivery driver wondered aloud one day: ‘Who keeps buying all those jars of mysterious green sauce?’ It turned out that a regular customer, an elderly gentleman known only as 'El Chente,' had been purchasing gallons of the stuff every week for his secret recipe tacos. When asked why he needed so much, El Chente simply smiled and said, 'Because these tacos are worth waiting for!'
