A small shop that carries the whole list
Mira Food Store, Mexikanische is an independent specialty shop on Sanderstraße in Neukölln, and the first thing you notice is how much is packed into a room you might walk past. The shelves carry Latin American, Indian and Asian goods side by side, which is the point: one stop covers a birria recipe and an Indian dinner in the same bag.
Start with the dried chiles. Several varieties sit on the shelves, enough to cover a recipe calling for four or five different kinds, which is why the shop earns its walk. The corn tortillas are the other reason to come: a broad run of vacuum-sealed packs, gluten free options among them. Mexican cheeses keep in the refrigerated section next to tofu and drinks, and bottled salsas, Herdez included, line the shelves. Fresh tomatillos and jalapenos are there for cooking rather than browsing.
The shop is small and still carries everything, and the proprietor is friendly and helpful, happy to talk through tortillas if you ask. Asian sauces and Indian staples share the same tight aisles, so you can put a Mexican dinner and an Indian one in the same basket without a second trip.
Prices for imported goods are good, and the Mexican things here can come in cheaper than ordering them online. Cards are accepted for purchases over 10€, so bring one if you plan to spend past that.
One thing to expect: some items are on the higher side, so a full basket adds up. It suits anyone cooking Mexican, Indian or Asian food at home who wants the right chiles and tortillas in one small shop rather than three.
