I Went All Out and Ended Up Broke: Cuban Woman Explores Las Vegas' Cuban Bodega

"The first thing I looked for was the Petit mango juice because it's my favorite, and I had never found it here before," shared Daniela as she navigated the aisles of the newly opened Cuban Bodega in Las Vegas. For her, this store was like a portal to the flavors of her homeland, brimming with nostalgia and memories.

Daniela, who goes by @siempre.ellaxo on social media, enthusiastically highlighted products like Vicky ham, which she described as "perfect for making sandwich spreads," and corn fritters she never expected to find in Las Vegas. She also showcased items such as ajonesa, La Llave coffee, and classic colognes like Camerata and Violeta, laughingly admitting, "I went crazy, bought everything, and now I'm broke." While marveling at the selection, she quipped, "A little wrapped in meat and they open this Cuban bodega, do you know what that means?"

The excitement was palpable in the comments. Many expressed gratitude for the information: "Thanks for sharing, I'll definitely be there" or "I'm going tomorrow, no way I'm missing that Cuban pizza." Some even inquired about specific items: "Do they have Bucanero malt?" or "I've been looking for Yo Gusto yogurt, hope they have it!" Daniela patiently responded, confirming the address as "4180 S Sandhill RD STE B5, Las Vegas, NV 89121," and adding, "They don't have ice cream yet, but they say it's coming soon."

Some joked about the prices: "Everything's expensive, but at least we have it," while others simply celebrated the opening: "It's about time we had something like this in Las Vegas" or "What a joy for the Cubans here, it's a gift!" For Daniela, this experience was more than just a shopping trip. "I love having a little piece of Cuba here in Las Vegas. It's crazy, I feel like I can't diet with everything they have," she concluded, making it clear that this bodega is already a landmark for many.
