Superior Grocers Adds In-House Sushi, Boba Additions Unique To Las Vegas Location
According to a video posted by @HookedLV (both on Instagram and TikTok), this Superior location has a few additions that are not in the other California locations.
There is a sushi station — yes a sushi station. Now you may be thinking, “Why does a Mexican store have sushi?” Well, there are many states in Mexico that have actually incorporated traditional sushi and created a “Mexican-sushi” fusion style of the cuisine. For example, a popular type of sushi in Mexico is Sinaloan sushi.
According to a VICE story about the origins of Mexican sushi, “It all started when a customer at a sushi restaurant in Sinaloa asked the chef for ‘something different’ one day.” That led the sushi chef to procure a sizzling piece of carne asada from the taqueria across the street and create a sushi roll with it. Thus, Mexican sushi was born.”
At Superior, you can get flavor-packed rolls that are smeared in cream cheese, spicy mayo and other colorful toppings. It’s made fresh daily, and the store’s sushi is the perfect snack for a post-shopping trip!
Along with sushi, you can even add boba to traditional agua frescas! Elevate your regular horchata by adding some boba for about a $1.
Fresh Tamales, Pan Dulce And Bargain Hotdogs At Superior Grocers
Along with the fusion options such as sushi and boba, there is a panaderia, which is essentially a bakery. You can pick up some fresh conchas or other sweet concoctions. Everything is made in-house, which is something that Superior prides itself on.
There’s also a tamale cart in the actual store. In warmed containers, you can choose from pineapple and strawberry tamales to pork and so much more. It’s truly a delicious experience.
Another great aspect of the store is the bargain deals such as the famous hotdog that costs $1.99. You can also download the app, which constantly has coupons and other saving tools.
This is another exciting business that’s calling Las Vegas home while helping to grow our local economy and provide jobs. Be sure to check out the new Superior Grocers, and let us know how you like it!

A Dulce de Leche Latte and a Guava Agua Fresca
Two refreshing drinks for a mid-day pick-me-up!
On the left is a Dulce de Leche latte. This is a latte made with milk and a sweetened caramelized milk syrup. It’s sweet and creamy from the caramelized milk syrup, which adds that dulce de leche flavor.
Dulce de Leche is a popular caramel sauce that’s thick and rich, it’s basically a caramel sauce that’s used in a plethora of sweets across Latin America and Europe. Next to the latte is a guava fresca. This is an infused guava drink with a water base. It’s tangy, slightly acidic and sweet. This would pair perfectly with a shot of tequila. But, it’s perfectly refreshing to drink this guava fresca by itself. It’s a great drink to go with any of the meals at Milpa.
Arbol Potatoes
Crispy roasted potatoes tossed in arbol salsa.
These Arbol potatoes are the perfect side dish to any of the fresh entrees at Milpa. They’re perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They have a perfect satisfying crunch that explodes with flavor. Delicious, comforting and warm, the Arbol potatoes are a must-try item on the menu.
Everyone’s arbol salsa recipe is different. But the main star of the salsa is the “chile de árbol” also translated to arbol peppers. These peppers have different layers of flavor that are earthy and nutty. According to Vera Mexicana, an online Mexican goods retailer, “Árbol chilies are widely used for their sharp acidic heat rounded out by natural almost nutty side notes. . . The drying process really enhances the secondary flavors, adding a complexity not often found in spicy chilies.”
This beautiful arbol-infused flavor on top of the potatoes create a harmonious dish that just makes you happy.
Guava Horchata
The refreshing guava juice sits on top of the milky horchata drink,
The guava horchata is another drink you can order at Milpa. Horchata, a Mexican rice and milk drink, is poured into an icy glass. The guava juice is then added on top of the milky horchata.
Horchata usually has a creamy, cinnamon-like flavor that’s sweet and milky. It pairs perfectly with the sour guava juice because the combination of sweet and sour work well together. This would be another refreshing drink to enjoy during a scorching-hot summer day.
