Arlington Mercado Latino & Bakery

Best bread in NoVa.

I’ve been buying their bread for over a decade and no bread can compare. Their tortillas are my favorite along with their cuernitos :)
The empanadas de queso are delicious too! You cannot find them anywhere else.

I used to come here all the time as a kid when I lived in the area. 20 years later and the baked goods taste and smell exactly the same. The cheese empanadas on the counter I have never found anywhere else. A little sweet, a little savory, more of an empanada-shaped bread since there isn't much of a filling. I don't even know if they have a particular name even after all this time. All I know is that if I'm anywhere within 25 miles of this place, I'm going there to buy a dozen.

Delicious fresh rolls! Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and they were fresh & warm

Many Latin foods, including fruits, vegetables, and baked goods.

Make sure to look through the food before buying. Rats or mice bite through the packaging.
