Shopping List for Perola Supermarket:
Salsa Verde
Tortillas corn, NOT flour (but they do have whole wheat tortillas, too!)
Poblano peppers
Tomatillos
Mexican bathtub cheese (ha ha)
Tortilla chips
Dulce de Leche
a Variety of canned Adobo foods.
This is THE place for all your latin goods. I can't get corn tortillas like this in California even.
And the back serves some of the best prepared foods on the weekends. -

Great resource for Mexican food, including but not limited to: salsas, chipotles, tortillas. If you can't find it, just ask: the people who work there are very helpful and friendly.
Like everyone has already said, the fresh tacos at the back counter are super tasty too. -

A friend of mine told me "there's a Mexican store that serves authentic Mexican food in the back". He didn't have the name but I figured I'd venture to Kensington to find this place anyway. For authentic Mexican food - why not? It can't be any worse than Taco Bell.
Truth be told - it was goooood. I had the chicken taco. There's something about being able to watch your food being cooked in front of you that just makes it so much better. The condiments are laid out for you to freely add whatever you want - 3 different types of sauce (mild, medium hot), onions, cliantro, lime etc. It was delicious. I need to go back to try the pupusas.
They have a few stools but no tables so it's a bit awkward especially with people grocery shopping. This is not a downer by any means - take it for what it is - a grocery store with great, fresh home made food in the back. -

I have no idea how good the grocery store is, but MAN, the little grill in the back. SO GOOD.
get a cactus taco (cactus, cheese, and beans) and change your life.
opened friday, saturday and sunday afternoons, go there in the summer and take a couple'a tacos to go as you browse the rest that kensington has to offer. -

I come here often to load up on refried beans, tortillas, and serranos for my homemade tacos. Again, I wouldn't describe the food in the back as "authentic Mexican" but a Salvadoran rendition of Mexican taqueria food.
Overall a solid Latin American grocery destination. -

Previous reviewers nailed this place. Smal but very authentic mexican grocery store with a small grill in the back that serves fresh tacos. (Had 2 pork tacos) Absolutely delicious!! Fresh onions/coriander and salsas for toppings and a squeeze of lime.....perfect. The seating area consist of 3 stools, and your table is a stand up freezer. It is what it is...and I have no problems with that. Will definetely be going back!
