“Whether looking for Guava nectar, flor de Manzanilla (Chamomille flower petals), chicharrones grande (large pork rinds), a telenovela DVD or a statue of your favorite Mexican saint, residents of South Mississippi need not travel far.

The Latino population in South Mississippi increased nearly fivefold after Hurricane Katrina, and with the new neighbors came a demand for the comforts of home.

There are now several grocerias (Latino grocery stores) on the Coast, in addition to many new and more-authentic Mexican restaurants.”
