Mi Preferida Supermercado

Clean, great prices and good fresh produce. This is where I come for all my meat! Hands down the best.
I usually pickup a case of Inca Kola, couple bags of homemade corn chips and their AMAZING salsa.

I'd like to start 2020 off with a review of a restaurant I knew existed, had been near countless times, but had never taken the opportunity to eat at. And I am now kicking myself in the pants for taking so long.

Mi Preferida Restuarante is tucked away in the back of the Mi Preferida Supermercado. We've been into the store countless time because it's relatively close to home and they have some items we can only find there (Jalapeño Tostada shells!) I'd noticed the taqueria in the back but never really gave it much thought because sometimes Jim can be pretty narrowly focused and I didn't walk in to eat, I walked in to buy.

On a recent Friday we stopped in to get a couple things (you guessed it, Jalapeño Tostada shells) and we hadn't decided where we were going to have dinner yet. When we walked in the door I noticed the arched doorway in the back and said to wifey "Wifey. What do you think about eating dinner here?". She said "Why not! We haven't eaten here before")

Why we waited so long I don't know, but now I'm kicking myself for it.

Mi Preferida isn't big on decor, being nestled in the back of a grocery store, but it's all about the food, and the food is amazingly authentic and amazingly awesome. And they have glass bottle beverages. Pepsi in a glass bottle is FAR superior to the stuff you get in cans and plastic bottles these days.

I love the complete transparency of this restaurant. You can see the entirety of the operation when you walk up to the counter. The food prep area, the grills, the steam tables. It's all there in plain site, so there's no mystery about what you're getting and how it's being prepared. And the food is AB-so-lutely genuine and delicious.

So it's not the fanciest Mexican restaurant in town, but it is some of the most authentic, genuine Mexican you'll find in town.

Large selection. Kind staff. Very helpful butchers. Delicious restaurant. My family's favorite Latin grocer!
