Don't sleep on the supermercados

Made a post not too long ago asking about some good Mexican. I've been cooking my ass off just to scratch an itch, and was a bit tired of it. Also, skirt steak is stupidly expensive at Walmart, Aldi, and Hyvee. So I went out and hit a few supermercados to get what I needed. Found my fill of gorditas, flautas, tacos, even enchiladas. Obviously missing beans and rice, but damn if it didn't hit the spot!

I know they can be intimidating for gringos and gringas, but these folks were super accommodating to my white passing ass, and even had a good laugh at my butchered Spanish. No one was rude, although there were a few who were on high alert given recent events in mpls. But once I explained I was a Texan searching for some good food they were incredibly gracious hosts.
