Zaragoza Mexican Deli & Grocery

For years, Alphabet City has been home to a substantial population of Latin American immigrants, and many of them do their grocery shopping at this well-stocked Mexican bodega. A plethora of hot sauces lines the deli’s shelves, including Guadalajaran-style Tapatio; also look for dried herbs and chiles and brightly colored Mexican sodas from Boing! and Jarritos. If your hunger is more imminent, check out Zaragoza’s prepared food counter, serving up overstuffed burritos, tacos and tamales.
