The two Supermercados Mexico bookending Portland—one in Gresham, one in Hillsboro—offer a vision of grocery shopping that's a lot like a child's birthday party.

The Gresham location even has a little frutas stand in the back serving fresh fruits in a cup doused in lime and chili. But really, you're here for tacos and guisados and pollo al carbon by the pound if need be, followed by a delicious tres leches cake straight out of the deli case.
