Hungry for great
Rocky Point food?
Grocery
Stores
There are
grocery stores throughout the city. But don't expect to
find an Albertsons or Costco anywhere. You can find 20 varieties
of hot sauce, beer, soda, ice and some canned goods, with
an offering equivalent to a gas station. Reggie's 8/12 Convenience
& Liquor store is located on Sinaloa just off of Blvd.
Fremont. This is the closest you'll find to a convenience
store. Reggie's carries 15 varieties burritos daily, canned
pork & beans, American cheese, pasta sauce beer and
soda. Be prepared to pay a deposit of $7.00 for a case of
24 beer bottles. The donut shop next door has edible donuts
– a new twist to Dunkin Donuts! Sometimes outside
of Reggie's you'll find a local selling fresh fruit. If
you're curious and want to try, the fruit has always been
ripe, sweet and fresh.

Taco
Stands
The TRUTH
about those taco stands. For cheap, good eats, stop
around town and try out the various taco stands. Enjoy a
truly authentic Mexican meal. For just a buck or two, you
can experience paradise on a paper plate. Here's what you
need to know and expect.
As you wander around Rocky
Point, you can't help but notice there's quite a few taco
stands (Taquerias). Eating at these places is a "badge
of honor" for the fearless. We've eaten at many stands
around town and get a kick out of trying new places each
and every time we visit. Sure, we have our favorites, but
the food around town is delicious and the price is just
as good if not better, that one can't help but to try a
few. The taco stands offer little more than a dirt floor,
a canopy from the sun and plastic tables and chairs. There
are no printed menus, just a list of available fillings.
The price for a taco is $1
although some places around town charge $2 for a shrimp
taco. The tacos are small, so order a few. The fish tacos
are delightful and I encourage non-seafood lovers to try
the fish tacos. They're not at all "fishy" and
the catch of the day is literally the catch of the day.
When you order tacos, they
normally arrive wrapped individually in paper on a plate.
The choice of toppings vary around town but the standard
toppings are shredded cabbage, guacamole or avocado wedges,
onions, picante, lime, and several varieties of hot sauce,
ranging in all degrees of heat from Hotter than Hell to
Nuclear Explosion hot! Beer and soda are also $1.
