A vegan walks into a meat market....
Stop me if you've heard this one.
I like this place so much, because it reminds me of growing up, and the little market that was around the corner from my abuelita, who always gave me stuffed animals from the claw machine. She was really good at that game. The produce section isn't huge, but the cucumbers are. Seriously, like porn star huge. They carry several different hot peppers (only place I've found manzano peppers!), and lovely looking avocados. Michoacana also has lots of colorful pastries and fun groceries.
In the back of the store, there is a large meat butcher shop thing. There's all different kinds of meats, even ready to cook, seasoned stuff, like al pastor. They have super giant chicharron, like you could wrap a baby in it.
Everything is cheap, and there are sales, too. Like giant jalapeños for 39 cents a pound. And they carry Venado, the spices, herbs, chilies and dry fake meat company. This store is just charming, from the bakery, to the produce, to the taco area, to the tamales up front. It's just cute. And they have a nice selection of hot sauces, too.
Sometimes, a guy will stand out front in a nice Charro suit, bolero tie, and fancy hat.
And that is awesome, to be able to wear that in Texas in July, and not die from heat stroke. Good for him.
