Anchor of the DFW Asian food corridor: a massive supermarket and food court with Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, and South Asian vendors all under one roof.
Order: Vietnamese pho from the food court; South Asian curry snacks; fresh-made Chinese bakery items

$oak-cliffDaily 7am-10pm
Oak Cliff's most comprehensive Latin American supermarket with an in-house tortilleria, carnitas counter, fresh-made tamales, and an extensive selection of Mexican chiles, dried herbs, and specialty products unavailable in mainstream grocery stores.
Order: Fresh-pressed corn tortillas from the tortilleria counter; weekend carnitas by the pound; house-made tamales
