Before I moved to this neighborhood, I heard people refer to this corner store by a million different names from "Puerto Rico" to "Junior's" to "that place on the corner that makes the best f*cking salsa in the city."
I am a little hesitant to tell folks that it is true... they make the best f*cking salsa in the city. They bring a huge batch in on Fridays, and I am lucky to find a rogue container of it on Saturday afternoon. The shit is good, and it goes fast.
And if salsa isn't enough to turn you on, perhaps the choice selection of beers will do. I swear, I thought my boyfriend wanted to make out with the "brew buyer" for stocking some harder to find, probably really hoppy and/or sour, slightly more costly brew. Apparently I just don't understand, but my "beer snob" boyfriend does and he adores this place. Personally, I think they have a great wine selection, but I am not going to make out with anyone because of it.
The weekend tamales are a treat, and the guys who work there (one of which is "Junior") are friendly, funny, and will shoot the shit with you for a minute before they cut you loose.
