El Batey
El Salvadorian soft drinks, dried chiles, candles; there’s a fantastical, old-world energy in this 41 year-old mom and pop grocery mart. If you were going to find a real-life Mogwai anywhere, we bet that you could find one here, somewhere in the back.
Sadly, it seems that the mart is going the way of so many other small stores in neighborhoods with rapidly rising rent prices. Check out this Steve Lopez piece about El Batey.
