    a hand holding a taco
    Ches P.

    My fiance grew up in Avon Park and she raves about this place! So every time we take the drive to visit her family, we definitely have to make a stop at this amazing Mexican grocery store which also serves up delicious tacos. Hole in the wall yelp adventure at its best! This is the perfect two or three bite taco! Pick from the list of meats that are cooked on a screaming hot cooktop. It gives the meat that right amount of char, but still tender on the inside. My favorites of course is the carne asada (beef) and pastor (pork). For something different, try the barbacoa. Not quite sure what cut of meat they used but it tasted like oxtail and brisket. Kinda fatty, but in a good way! Try the lengua if you are even more adventurous! I get them the way they are served: onions, cilantro, lime, side of green sauce (med spice). These tacos pack so much flavor in their itty bitty house made corn tortillas. 5 or 6 tacos usually does the trick :) There is outside seating in a covered patio by the food stand. But if the Florida heat gets too much, you can sit inside the grocery store where there are 3 small tables next to the drink section. I hear you can also buy beer from right there and drink it. They also serve other dishes near the table seating area and will have to try them next time. If you ever find your way around Highlands County: Avon Park, Sebring, Lake Placid be sure to stop by. It would even be worth a side trip! Yelp 100 Challenge 60/100

    Amazing authentic Mexican food I had the three tacos - chicken, beef, and pork served with onions, cilantro and queso blanco and avacado A side cup of green sauce accompanied them, not sure what it was called, but it had the color of guacamole but much thinner and spicier, it was sublime. $5.50 for all three tacos This place is a true gem

    Wow! This place has made me fall in love with tacos all over again, in fact, every time I come my heart smiles. The tacos are authentic with onions, cilantro & green sauce (avocado hot sauce) - just to die for. I live in South Florida, so my rides up North to visit my boyfriend make this our "go to" spot. Normally, I stay away from pork but once I'm here I can eat a whole plate of pork tacos!

    Very good authentic tacos but they only make it one way and I don't like having one option. But besides that no complaints .

Walkable at only about 0.2 miles and they have all the groceries you need. It is the biggest grocery store in Grace Bay. Fruit and dairy products are very expensive in Turks and Caicos. For example grapefruit cost over $3 each, individual yogurt servings were over $3. They also have different prepared food each day. They also have a coffee shop, salad bar, and a deli. The food here was very reasonably priced and many locals ate lunch there. For breakfast they have the normal eggs, french toast, breakfast meat, etc. For lunch there is a menu that changes everyday (see photo). The first day we got BBQ ribs, Mac and cheese, and a spinach empanada. All of which were great. Next day we got pork chops, tuna salad, and a baked potato. The empanadas were different from the yellow Mexican type ones you get a most places. The crust was flakier but really good. They had some mini quail empanadas that were good. PRO TIP (Like my friend Winnie L): If you choose something like empanadas, seared salmon which are not hot, you can ask the staff to heat it up when you order. The salmon was simple but excellent. My favorites were the BBQ meatloaf and curry chicken salad. Baked mac and cheese was a great side Definitely a convenient lunch option. If you drive they have a good sized parking lot. The deli makes sandwiches to order and they have a good selection (see photos). We ate lunch at this place every day we were in Turks and Caicos. We did not have a single bad meal.

    This is for the Bakery department. Last week spent over 30 minutes talking about details (not much)…read morefor a cake design for a graduation party from nursing school. All I wanted was a blue sheet cake with EKG rhythm strip on the sides of the cake and Congratulations on the top with name. She was a short hispanic lady, wrote everything down, gave me a copy of the order and said pay when you come pick it up. She had a whole week, I go to pick it up Friday June 14th, nothing, no cake, no order it's as if I was never there. I'm confused as to how something like this could occur and why, why did she not (after the long conversation) put my cake order in. Luckily (or not so lucky) I was able to put the order in again because my party was on the 15th. I pick up the cake on the 15th before my party just to see that whoever did the EkG rhythm did awful, so awful! If you do not know how to do a certain design that is in the publix bakery book that you can order by the way, do not do it! I will never order a cake from this bakery again, so unprofessional and do horrible work. I was stuck with an awful looking cake! I placed cake toppers that I bought from Amazon that made the top of the cake look nice, but whichever lady did the EKG rhythms, you should not design cakes and you should be ashamed that you didn't care about the person you were doing the cake for! So everyone Knows, I myself decorated the top of the cake. The EKG Rhythm is what Publix Bakery in Lake placid did and as you can see did a horrible job! If you're a medical professional do not have this bakery do your cake design they either do not submit your order or do not know how to create designs that you can pick out of the book.
