Placita Esmeralda


Type: small local super marketAddress: Calle Esmeralda next to papa johnsParking: limitedPrice: super affordableKid: yesFood: the have fresh fruits and veggies, super fresh juices they make themselves by hand the best are the orange and coconut. They also have canned goods some imported from the Dominican Republic. The best they have are these fruit shakes that they add honey and milk but if your lactose intolerant you can’t say that you don’t want milk. They make the shake right infront of you using the whole fruit. They don’t waste anything. My favorite mix is papaya with apple and coconut, honey and no milk. Refreshing and super good for you.Service: they are super friendly and if they get to know you, you arrive and without saying a thing boom magical healthy shakeComment: other than super shakes, they sell vegetables, fruits, root veggies, coconut. You want coconut you will experience this: a guy just opened a coconut right in front of me with a machete and gave me straw to drink straight from the coconut. And next thing you know your in the middle of a tropical oasis/”mini vacation” in the metro area.
