I realize they get violations from the state for cleanliness, BUT STILL... where are you going to get live turtles, conch, eels, frogs?
It's quite the experience to go in this store and shop.
I went to 2 local Asian markets in Hollywood, looking for loose leaf green tea.... Nothing.
Drove the 6 miles to Mango and they have 4-5 options.
They have exotic produce you don't see anywhere else.
They have a variety of potatoes that no other grocery store in Hollywood has.
Prices are excellent - if you know what you're looking for.
Kosher food available, as well.
Place has an odor - I'm not going to lie. But I've never been in an International market that doesn't have an odor.
Best thing about this market is the fact that you can find any ingredient you're looking for - be it Indian, Mexican, Asian, Italian etc, etc..
If you're looking to try a new ethnic dish at home and you need certain ingredients, chances are, you will find them here.
You won't find corned beef here, but you will find pork belly, pig gonads, goat head, black roosters,, dumplings, Kefir leaves, lemon grass, and a great variety of mushrooms. Even lions mane.
I don't think there's another International market as close as this one is to Hollywood, Cooper City, Davie, Lake Forest.
Just don't complain about the odor. It comes with the territory. Wink.
