About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, an old man with a shopping bag full of mystery items began appearing in the aisles of La Michoacana Supermarket. ‘Special orders,’ whispered the cashiers, as they scanned his purchases with growing curiosity. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the old man pushing a cart filled with jars and cans. Curious, he asked what it was for. The old man replied, 'Just gathering ingredients for my secret mole recipe.' The driver nodded knowingly, thinking he’d finally found the source of La Michoacana’s legendary sauce.
2. In the early hours before dawn, a delivery driver approached the loading dock, carrying a mysterious box under his coat. As he opened it, out popped a live parrot that started squawking and flapping around the store. Alarmed, everyone ran outside, leaving only a confused delivery driver holding the empty box. The next morning, a neighbor found him still standing there, muttering, ‘I thought it was just canned goods…’
3. In the late afternoon, a little girl followed her mother into the store. As they walked down the aisles, she pointed excitedly at a mysterious box labeled in Spanish. ‘What’s inside?’ she asked curiously. The cashier smiled mysteriously and whispered something only she could hear. Finally, the girl’s mom paid for their groceries and left. Months later, someone saw the cashier chatting with a delivery driver outside. They overheard her say, 'That kid still asks about that magical mystery box every time she comes.' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just a big joke.
4. At closing time, a neighborhood cat started prowling through the aisles, its eyes fixed on something hidden behind the produce section. As it sauntered closer, everyone froze—even the cashiers stopped ringing up groceries. Then, from behind the bananas, an old avocado poked its head out and hissed softly. The cat yawned, stretched, and walked away, tail wagging contentedly. A delivery driver later found the culprit—a mischievous neighborhood tabby who’d been hiding there for weeks, waiting for just such an adventure.
