La Mexicana Supermercado

La Mexicana Supermercado is a Mexican grocery, deli and bakery store.

Located on the corner of Lake and Bloomington Avenue, La Mexicana Supermercado was one of the first Latin American grocery stores in the Lake Street area. The store, and another one like it in St. Paul, is owned by Maria Lala, who opened it 18 years ago. Her husband, Mauro Madrigal, manages the Lake Street store.

And you can’t miss it—the beautiful mosaic covering the entire side will help you find the way. The market, deli, and bakery specialize in Mexican, Honduran, and Salvadorian products with a small selection of South American choices.
