Amigo Mercado Latino

This shop has an amazing selection, a great to-go restaurant, and a Mexican butcher shop all on site. They are accommodating whether you speak Spanish or not, and the staff is always friendly. We go for spices, produce, and the chorizo is fantastic! They also have a wonderful selection of pastries like pan dulce. This place is worth the visit for anyone who lives to eat or cook great food.

Great variety of produce, dairy, canned goods, frozen foods, and fresh meats. They have every possible dried chile you could imagine, and the lunch/dinner counter in the back is not to be missed - absolutely the best pupusas for miles!

Best place to buy groceries nice variety of south and Central American food

Best kept secret in Charlottesville. $14.75 for everything pictured, two tortillas, and a drink. Seriously, it’s a lot of food and very salty. Perhaps they could cut back on the salt.

I’ve been going to this place for years and while the prices have gone up since the pandemic it’s still bar none some of the best hispanic food in Charlottesville. I come here when I’m close and I can’t decide what to eat.

Not only what’s in the buffet but they have soup, tortas (sandwiches), and of course pupusas (tortilla filled with stuffings). After Cactus left from Fifth street extended they have the best.

I don’t know what the lady is complaining about in terms of sanitation. This is not an upscale shop, with clean and uber sanitised surfaces. It’s all a jumble and with little space but that’s the charm. They took out the seating but hopefully it will be back. The only reason it’s not more well known is because it’s hidden away in the back of a minimarket.

Come here if you want a healthy portion of actual hispanic food, not some cleaned up half imitation of what Americans want the food to be.

Great Latin American grocery. Lots of cool foods to play with. Great meat section and tons of fresh cheeses. The spice selection and sauces will bring me back, but the best is on the back. A small cafe serves great papusas made to order along with other items.

Absolutely love this market. My wife and I love their pupusas and everything else in their deli for that matter.

This store/restaurant is TRULY a RARE gem in Virginia. They have the BEST papusas around Va, PLUS IT'S CHEAP! I will literally drive 30 minutes out of my way just to go here. All of their food is fulfilling no matter what you order which keeps me coming back.
I love their store as well, as it reminds me a lot of "home". I love Sabritones chips and conchas. Can't find the good stuff anywhere else but here!!

Mom & I go here to find those things that "bring us home": the freshest cuts of meat from the nicest butcher in town; tasty platos poblanos (changed up weekly!) served over saffron rice, flaky yucca or dressed with your favorite chiles rellenos- ready to eat from the Cocina in the back; stacks of corn or wheat tortillas for your dishes; aisles of trusted brands packed with dried & canned goods from your favorite Latin countries; a WALL of dried chilies varying in size, flavor & HEAT; dairy & frozen aisles hold cases of PALETAS, savory cheeses & cremas your abuelas fed you as a kid... AND all the tamales, empanadas & pupusas you can cram in your buggy. WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE, ESE? ☝😄 ¡Todo lo encuentran aquí!

Amazing grocery, great selection, good food from the back counter.

This market is a delight. The front is full of fresh fruit: mangoes, melons, limes, coconut, plantains and some mysteries. And vegetables: cabbage, zucchini, onion, dried beans, spices...all used in the delicious freshly-cooked foods they offer in the back of the market. They are also a meat butcher. Plenty of dry goods Latin style.

This morning I had my first “pupusa”, a tender-crisp grilled (not fried) savory pastry made with corn flour; mine was filled with seasoned beans (frijoles) and a little cheese (queso blanco). Served with “curtido” (a latin slaw) and a mild sauce, both on the side, it was to die for. I also sampled the freshly made sweet beverages: chia seed, grain or melon. Good thing my gym is close.

They have several tables in the back to accommodate diners, or the dishes can be packaged for takeout.

Has all of the items I'm looking for at reasonable prices. Everyone here is kind and helpful. I love my trips here.

Well I like that it is convenient for me to pick things I may need . Staff is very friendly.

Best pupuas !!!!! In town and staff is so friendly! Food is so good

Best place to find vegetables, herbs and Meats. They have a wonderful to go restaurant in the back too.

My favorite place!!! I love their meats, they're the FRESHEST and taste so good!! Thanks <3

Great place, great atmosphere. The prices are very good. Quality food both in the grocery as well as restaurant.

If you're hungry, go all the way in the back where you'll discover awesome dishes to go.

Lots of variety/choices!

Great locally owned small business with a nice variety of Latino groceries, friendly staff and nice owners.

Its Mexican store that has all of basic things and even fresh made food every day on the hour!
