Latin Grocery & Liquor

Perfect stop for beer, the bottles are a minimally above price standards for the neighborhood. Quick pre packaged snacks are readily available.

This place is aight, I definitely like it better than Cavito’s (a block west, on the corner of North/​Avers), mainly because the people who work here are nicer, generally. Prices for bigger bottles are on the way-​high side ($ 27 for a 750ml of Cuervo? Uh, I don’t think so), but quite reasonable for beer.
Latin has a decent selection of the usual stuff you find at liquor stores in the ghetto (I can say that, I live a block away): lots of cheap 40s, a decent selection of domestic and the usual (mostly Mexican) import beers, the expected $ 4 wino-​wines. Not much in the way of bigger bottles of hard liquor, plenty of small (pints, half-​pint) bottles, and the expected selection of cheap, shitty junk food (30 cent chips, Little Debbies, etc.), which I had to remind them to keep off the floor (!) after bringing home a bag of Cheetos that had clearly been chewed up by some varmint. Oh yeah, on weekends (at least in the summer), they’re open pretty late, too.
