This place is completely misnamed. It should be Asian-African-Jamaican-Indian Grocery. Located at 1801 McCord in Toledo this small market packs an intense variety of international foods. And not just sauces and canned goods but staples like flours, mixes, pastes, and other favorites. This store is more of a pilgrimage than a shopping trip.
