Casa Mexico store - London
« on: April 26, 2010, 09:24:02 PM »
This may have been mentioned on another thread, I'm not sure...

If not though, Casa Mexico is a great alternative to MexGrocer and Cool Chile company. They also have TONS of great mexican cookware, dishes, decorations, etc along with some imported food items. My favourite buys there have been La Costena salsa, frozen corn tortillas (for when I'm feeling lazy), chipotle chiles in adobo and achiote paste. The store is a bit out of the way, but it is large and quite beautiful inside. The owner is very nice and the few times I've been have been wonderful experiences.

Oh yeah that's right by my office. The store is mostly homewares but they do have a small area in store for groceries. It was about as wide as my outstretched arms last time I was there, but it was a few years ago so they might have expanded. But the prices are good and they are really friendly.
