Peruvian market with sandwiches, pantry items, and desserts
"La Tiendita II is a delightful South Beach surprise. It looks like a little bodega, but the market has a small but mighty selection of sandwiches. The options are usually chicken, pork, and tuna—and the chicken and pork are our favorites. While food options are a tad limited here, you'll also find Peruvian pantry items like mote on the shelves and suspiro in the fridge. This place is one of the only affordable options in the area, and it's a perfect pre- or post-beach lunch, or a refreshing option if South Beach has depleted your tolerance for mediocre, overpriced food." - mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"La Tiendita II is a tiny South Beach Peruvian market with a small but mighty selection of sandwiches. The chicken and pork are our favorites. The chicken comes with shredded chicken in a creamy sauce, and we’re pretty sure we saw potato chips in there too. The pork—their version of a Peruvian butifarra—uses a thick slab of tender pork, which contrasts nicely with crispy potato sticks and more of that creamy sauce. There are some tables inside and suspiro in the fridge. Plus, you can walk out of here with Peruvian pantry items like mote." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

Since this is a market too, you can leave with other snacks for the day like chips and (if you have a cooler) grab a suspiro in the fridge for dessert." - ryan pfeffer
"You would think that South Beach has been completely wiped clean of places like La Tiendita, a tiny, affordable Peruvian bodega that also makes some great sandwiches. But thankfully this place persists—in the shadow of Lincoln Road, no less. Their chicken and pork sandwiches are our favorites. The chicken comes with shredded chicken, tomato, lettuce, a creamy sauce, and we’re pretty sure we saw potato chips in there, too. The pork uses a thick slab of tender pork, which goes so well with crispy potato sticks and more of that creamy sauce. It makes for a great beach sandwich, or just a satisfying $9 lunch, which is thankfully not extinct in South Beach yet." - ryan pfeffer
