We have never felt discriminated against, at Laloma. Anyways.. Laloma is a small grocery store with a meat/cheese/taco/deli counter in the back of the store that happens to have the best selection of salsas around. You want fresh pico de gallo? Got it. You want fresh guac? Bang. You want fresh liquidy salsa? Boom. You want spicy liquidy salsa? We typically grab some steak tacos and they always put in a ton of meat. You can also buy fresh carnitas on certain days. The good "green bag" (forgot name) tortilla chips are almost always .50 cents cheaper here than the Jewel down the street. They also have a decent little grocery section and good deals on avocados. We like to support local businesses like Laloma.

The cabbage? Shredded, with cilantro, onion, tomato, lime juice and some other much yummy ingredients. Come here, try them. Leave some for me. Your welcome.

Every time I visit home (East Chicago), it's an absolute MUST that I stop at Carniceria La…read moreChiquita. First, they've moved next door from their old location on Indianapolis Boulevard, into the old KFC. It's a larger building and serves more as a supermarket than I think their previous spot did. I only get their tamalas, which come four ways (that I know of): beef, chicken, pork with red sauce and pork with green sauce (spicier). I always get the chicken and green pork. Unlike these places in Columbus, Ohio (yeah, I said it), they give you a HEALTHY portion of meat at a much better price! They must literally make thousands each day, because the line for the tamales is always long and people buy serveral dozen at a time. When you ask for your type, they go back and wrap them while you wait. The end result is a (very) hot package of twelve. You can literally eat them on the way home. The masa (breading) is perfect, yet in no way, dominates the meat. Can't say the same about these other spots that seem to rip you off. My only disappointment is that their price jumped from $7 to $12 per dozen, which is a significant increase. However, it has been 2 years since my last visit, so between inflation and business they might have lost during the height of the pandemic, it's understandable. But then again, $12/dozen is still a fair price for such as good tasting item. I bought 5 dozen, at two dozen and froze rest, which will be quite tasty when I decide to heat thaw and reheat them. I gave a dozen to one of my sons and his girfriend, who sent me a motion clip of her enjoying it. She told me that it took her back to her childhood in Vegas, where they also make wonderful tamales. As always, I will be back. But next time, for many more because once I posted them on Facebook, several (Columbus) friends asked me to take orders for them as well.

There was a chewed-up lime inside my tacos, along with old, broken chip pieces--not even whole chips. It honestly looked like recycled food from someone else's table. The chips were stale, and the tacos barely had any meat, nothing like they used to be. I used to love this place, but this experience was disgusting. It really felt like I was given someone else's leftovers.

I am also for buying whatever I can from Caribbean and West African businesses, so I stopped in to see what this small grocery store offered. They have all the grocery products that I like to use in my cooking. So, this was a plus. Their products are more for Nigerian cooking than they are for Ghanaian cooking. I still know how to work those ingredients into my own cooking. As to their hot plates, I ordered a plate of egusi with chicken and beef. I ordered some jollof rice to go with it. I will not bother to go back to Chicago's North Side for egusi at an of the restaurants there. What I had at Sesi reminded me of what a college classmate's family had served when I went to Abuja with him years ago. I must say that I loved the jollof rice. Those who laugh about the jollof rice wars may find humour in my assessment. The rice is blooming delicious. There are other Nigerian dishes that I will eventually get around to trying. The egusi is simply the winner for now.

I wasn't able to eat anything from the kitchen, but I only gave them three stars because to me it was just this regular old Mexican food . It wasn't spectacular Mexican food.
