Getting lost inside a local market is how i like to know a city, but I also always try to pass by the best supermarket in tow,,, and León has a good number of them including my favorite HEB (from my days living in Texas) and at this location, a Costco next door. I couldn’t resist going to both.
At HEB I found a whole section featuring products from local companies and bought some Mexican treats to bring back home. Their bulk section also had some high quality local spice blends that always make good gifts and are easy to pack in a carry on suitcase.
Their liquor section covered an entire aisle with a fantastic selection of mezcal and tequila, and this location also has a restaurant area and sells pre-prepared food. The chicken milanesa was delicious and the variety offered that day was pretty good.
Even though I no longer live close to an HEB, it’s still one of my favorite supermarkets and I would not pass the opportunity to visit and do some shopping. By the way, those recycle bags also made some good souvenirs and come handy when traveling around.
Also a plus, the huge underground parking to keep your car cool and the possibility of getting a car wash while you shop.
