Tres Leches Cake from Carniceria El Mercadito in Greensboro, North Carolina


There are several small Mexican grocery stores in Greensboro, North Carolina that also contain sections where you can buy hot, freshly prepared authentic Mexican food. Carniceria El Mercadito, located on Muirs Chapel Road in Greensboro, NC is one such Mexican grocery store.

The hot food selections that they offer are great. I love the generous servings of fresh avocado slices that are placed on the tacos served there for example. I also really like the burritos. I have no food photos available today of the hot foods that I have purchased from Carniceria El Mercadito. Maybe next time. I do have a food photo of a dessert that I purchased at Carniceria El Mercadito, a slice of tres leches cake.

This slice of tres leches cake is truly delicious. I have also purchased it from there in the past. The slice of tres leches cake is adorned with fresh strawberry, delicious and creamy white frosting and wrapped in wax paper to stay moist when a slice of the cake is ordered to go. This cake is very moist indeed and richly flavored with condensed milk, so delicious. At Carniceria El Mercadito, one slice of the tres leches cake is $2.99 and a large whole round tres leches cake is offered at a cost of $25.00. On Valentine’s Day, there were decorated tres leches cakes available at Carniceria El Mercadito that said, “Happy Valentine’s Day.” The cakes were very nicely decorated.
