have you stopped into grace on bank street? (I forget the cross street, but it is near wallack's art supply). i have bought some mexican and south american stuff there.
there is also a latino grocery on sommerset (forget the cross street here too), but is not too far from cam kong and so good restaurant.

There is a store on Somerset St. just past St. Lukes church. It is a small store. I have never been in there but I know you can get Latin American groceries. They also rent videos...and have a courier service...
I think that they are called Little Latin America Video's & Groceries and looks like they are at 764 Somerset.
The following is a link to a blog that has a photo of the place. you have to scroll down a bit.

Been digitizing VHS tapes lately (borrowed a VCR and will be getting rid of the tapes once done) and have just gotten to Rick Bayless' Mexico: One Plate At A Time series of 3 tapes. *drool*...
Offhand, does anyone remember seeing huitlacoche (sometimes spelled cuitlacoche also called corn mushroom or corn smut) in any of these stores? I am now really craving.

Getting to Montreal rd by bus from Elgin is maybe 30 minutes.
You take the 14 or 1 or 7? from Rideau centre.
La Cabana- I was just in that area and taking the 85 from Rideau centre takes around 45 minutes to an hour.
and getting back after 7pm takes over 1 hour (just was at westgate mall, left at 9:40pm..got bus at 10:20 and was downtown for 10:50pm, then had to get another bus).
As long as the store that is quite far is not a place you go to weekly, it might be worth going monthly maybe?

I used to shop at Mercado Latino on Montreal Road in Vanier, but without a car, it has now become impractical to travel that far. Does anyone know of a similar venue closer to the downtown core? I now live in the Windsor Arms apartments behind the Museum of Nature and would love to find something that is walking distance.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
