Forgot a few things back home? No worries, Penasco has many places for grocery shopping. From small bodegas, abarrotes or mercado to the biggest grocery store in town, Super Ley.

Let’s start with Super Ley.

They have people that help you bag your groceries, sometimes a small tip is appreciate it. 

In Super Ley you will find just about anything you need, from cold medicine, to charcoal for the barbecue, to drinks and alcoholic beverages to all other things in between. Believe it or not, jelly for toast was not easy to find but you can buy mexican jam.
