La Tropicana Supermarket

La Tropicana is a nondescript Mexican/Cuban market just northwest of the intersection of Kingshighway and Chippewa in South City. If you are traveling south on Kingshighway, turn right on Chippewa and there is a fork. Stay to the right on the fork and it is a block or two down on the right. In addition to being a functioning grocer, albeit small, there are quite a few tables, a fairly extensive menu, and a cold case with all kinds of goodies. We did not eat in; we will very soon. We did grab some fresh guacamole, black beans, and ensalada de nopales. All were very good. The latter was a bit spicy, but quite tasty. Worth the trip. Next time I go, I am going to have to grab a bottle of Flor de Cana (nicaraguan rum, a real treat!)....
