| Sounds like what you bought was something they may have put "mexicka omacka" on or something. Don't buy that stuff. I don't think you are going to get anything of quality here unless you buy something imported (or at least something that has imported prices). Best thing to do is to buy a can of chipotle peppers, jalapeno peppers (both found in Tesco), and some paliva paprika (hot paprika). With that, lemon, lime, tomato, cilantro (koriandr), avocado (avokado) and tortillas (chips or wraps) you are well on your way to making 90% of the mexican food that will be available to you. For pinto beans, and the like, I would suggest any of the bio stores, as they often have good bean selection.
I have yet to come across chilli powder (the darker brown powder that is more bitter than spicy), nor tomatillos, which probably would be astronomically priced.
There is one specialty latin food shop near Viktoria Zizkov field that might have some odd things you can't find elsewhere, but I have lost the link to the website. (help anyone??) |
