Plaza Latina

Great place with fresh bread for tortas, chicharron, freshly made tortillas, carnitas, and a great carniceria. Highly recommend going by.

Love el pan dulce of course! always fresh when I go to their store. Recently they’ve been selling fruit cups the fruit is soo sweet YUM YUM! Lol

Walked in and immediately got the smell of the pan dulce… already winning. Clean store, nicely stocked shelves with a variety of latinamerican products. I found all my Mexican favorites, from different dried chiles, to chorizo, queso fresco, to conchas and other pan dulce that were easily the best I’ve had in Seattle. They sell fresh handmade tortillas in a limited amount… legit. The only reason they dont get 5 stars is because a couple pieces of their carne asada in their deli case were starting to look a little old.
I will definitely be back there. Hope they come thru for me every time! Only other store I’ve seen that is comparable is Guadalupe in Burien (bigger store). This is good, though. Closer to my Lynnwood crib. Better chorizo here. I like this. Yeah.

I have been to Plaza Latina for groceries, produce, meat, sweet breads, and tamales, but this past weekend, I saw birria on the other side of the meat counter. They have both beef and the original chivo. I purchased some of both. While the beef was ok, the chivo was delicious!!! Oh, this is also where I pick up Spanish language newspapers.

This place has an amazing bakery and grocery, but something I noticed no one has talked about are the sandwiches! You can order them from the bakery counter. They come on freshly baked huge rolls, have tons of fresh ingredients and are very inexpensive for such large portions. We routinely go there for lunch and have been happy every time. They even take phone orders! Love, love, love!

Great store for so many items! From pastries, to canned goods, to snacks, they have a pretty good sized selection for the space they are in.
I drive by here all the time and have stopped periodically over the years. I stopped this weekend to get some of my favorite ice pops. Don’t ask why I craved such an icy cold treat in the middle of winter but that’s what happened. As expected, they had them for a reasonable price and I left the store happy with 6 of them.
This is also a great place to pick up beverages that may not be found in regular stores. They have Jarritos (which has become more mainstream over the years) and the lesser known in some areas Inca Cola.
I need to spend more time browsing here and just haven’t made the time, which I will very soon.

amazing Peruvian food :) big portions and reasonable pricing as well. the Lomo saltado was very very good!

Any place that carries two different brands of Huitlacoche is a rock star in my book, and although I’m by no means an expert in Mexican/​Latina/​South American cuisine, this placed had more Latina products than I’ve seen anywhere else, and they had an amazing fresh pastry case, which I need to come back and try sometime. This location also has a restaurant and a few other business attached, very classy place and very friendly staff! (I especially liked that I was greeted in Spanish, ‘Buenos Tardes’) ;-)

I like this place to purchase Peruvian chillies, and ingredients. I think prices are little expensive, but not many places carry this items.

My girlfriend introduced me to this place, and it’s a nice little gold mine with bolillos, Inca Cola, Mexican breads, etc. It compares pretty well to Seattle’s Carneceria Azteca without being a carneceria (butcher shop).
I highly recommend this place for people who live in the area.

best Peruvian food I’ve had so far, not only do they have Peruvian grocery items but now also they sell some Peruvian food at the bakery, I tried the Salchipapa and the Papa Rellena, they brought me back to my teenage years in Peru, the best desert I’ve had so far is the Buding. This store/​bakery is awesome :)

Not to sound melodramatic, but I was desperate when I found Plaza Latina. Early last year I was on a search for frozen empanada dough. You know, the kind that comes pre-​made in a disk shape separated by plastic? I drove around the Greater Seattle area and was disappointed by every mercado I went to. They all sold colorful Mexican items, but nothing from Argentina.
Plaza Latina was my last hope.
Tucked away in a non-​descript strip mall on Aurora, it’s easy to miss. But when you find it, you will be delighted. Not only do they sell frozen empanada dough, they also sell chimichurri, yerba mate, alfajores, dulce de leche and quince paste. Not to mention their variety of spices, beverages, flours and fresh baked goods. I’m not sure if it’s a family owned operation, but it sure feels that way.. as in everyone who enters is treated like family.
Small establishment, but stocked well.
My husband was pleased that (after ten years of marriage) I finally made empanadas the way he grew up eating them. Now, if only I could learn Spanish.
