A Specialized Latino grocery store
Driven by our desire for community and the dream of owning our own business, we discovered Mercado de la Raza, the island's only Latin American store. Mercado de la Raza has roots that run deep. Believe it or not, it's been a community staple since way back in 1995. After countless months of conversations, we took the leap and acquired the business, with the hope of infusing it with a fresh perspective and revitalizing energy while still preserving the space it holds for the Latin American community.

Mercado de la Raza is committed to supporting Latin entrepreneurs and their ventures in Hawaii. We host pop-ups monthly at our store featuring delicious products Made in Hawaii by Latin hands.
