Specializing in Nicaraguan products, Mercado Nica carries everything one might need for Latin-American cooking. Fresh produce, South and Central American cheeses, and hard-to-find grains are sold, along with a variety of imported canned goods. The shop's meat counter is freshly stocked with chicken, chorizo, ribs and fajita meat. Saturdays are a great time to stop by, when customers find the staff serving hot frito (fried pork) and fresh tamales.
