From Fresh Fish to Unique Sodas, El Eden Supermercado Stocks Authentic Latin American Items
May 12, 2016 | greystar
One customer says walking into El Eden Supermercado is "like walking into another country." That's because the market near The Shelby stocks Latin American groceries you won't see on the shelves at your typical grocery store as well as fresh produce, seafood, and some staple brands you would encounter at any supermarket.
A perk of shopping at El Eden Supermercado is access to the many specialty sodas from Latin and South America including mango, pineapple, and guava sodas. El Eden offers a large selection of fresh fish including tilapia and mackerel waiting for you to pluck them straight from the ice. If you need something to satisfy your sweet tooth, head to the back of the store where an amiable staff crafts unexpected cakes and cookies from scratch, or pick up a classic piñata and take it home for a special occasion. You'll have to work a little harder for those sweets, of course, but that's half the fun.
