I love Fiesta supermarkets, when they're done right. I've been confronted with Fiestas that took over from older markets that failed to add in all the things I expect at a full service Fiesta. So here's my checklist:
1. TORTILLA MACHINE, FRONT AND CENTER
When I walk in, I better see a tortilla machine shooting out fresh flour tortillas and WARM bags right there for the picking. That's how it's done right.
2. TAQUERIA
I wanna buy a quarter-pound of barbacoa, por favor. Dish it up, put it in the box, and make me happy. I'll be back for the carne al pastor later.
3. PANDERILLA
That's a bakery. Every Fiesta I've been to has one, thank goodness, so I can always snag a concha or churro when I need one.
4. CARLOS V CANDY BARS AT THE CHECK-OUT
Those tine Carlos V bars are EXACTLY what the doctor ordered. I love the rougher texture and the slightly spiced chocolate flavor of the Carlos V. It's got an excellent finish and truly complements the aftertaste of a savory dinner, particularly one involving beef or a highly-spiced meat.
And that's what I want. Just four things.
If any of them ever carried Pepsi Retro (which I think is now Pepsi Natural), I'd be totally thrilled.
