La Teresita

Supermarket

Our story is one of family, tradition, and dedication.In 2002, the Ramirez Paulino family took over the stewardship of La Teresita Supermarket, guided by the vision and hard work of my father, mother, uncle, and aunt.

Together, they dedicated themselves to maintaining the store’s legacy while infusing it with the warmth and values of our family. For nearly two decades, they poured their hearts into creating a space where customers felt like family and could find the best ingredients, fresh produce, and authentic flavors to bring their meals to life.

In 2020, a new chapter began when I, Eric, took the reins alongside my business partner, Orlando. With deep gratitude for the foundation laid by my family, we set out to honor the past while embracing the future. As owners for almost five years, we are committed to continuously improving the business to better serve our community.

From launching a new website and digital projects to introducing online ordering and undertaking store renovations, our focus is on enhancing the shopping experience for everyone.

At La Teresita Supermarket, we celebrate the richness and vibrancy of Latin culture. Our aisles are filled with the essential ingredients that evoke the flavors and aromas of home, from tropical fruits and spices to traditional pantry staples. While we take pride in being a place where Latin traditions thrive, we are equally dedicated to serving customers from every culture, ensuring that everyone feels welcomed and valued.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to keep growing and serving you even better. Whether it’s your first time visiting or you’ve been with us for years, we’re thrilled to have you as part of the La Teresita family. Thanks for letting us be a part of your life since 1965—we can’t wait to see what the future holds!

The service is IMPECCABLE. Everything you need to cook your favorite Latin food, you get it here. Everything super clean and organized. Here I even found the cologne I used as a child in the 80’s, royal violet.
And without counting the exquisite variety of ready-to-go food. Delicious!
