Good place to get authentic Mexican spices
This place is truly a hidden gem! Located in Ohio City. Rickey provided great customer service he is very knowledgeable about the various countries and products they offer! Prices are super cheap and products are fresh! The store is well organized and clean! If you need ingredients for authentic Latin & African food this is the store!
I go there once a month.
I like coming here because there are items I use which are not sold in major chain grocery stores.
I love this store it always has the African foods I need💜
One of the best Caribbean foods store in Cleveland by far! They have a wide range of products!
La Borincana its a nice place to go shopping for Jamaican foods like bun and cheese ackee and saltfish most likely any Jamaican product you can find it there everybody there is nice love to shop thereespecially on Easter time for the bun and cheese
Tip: $15 minimum if using credit card.first time going and there is so much stuff cant wait to go back!
Great!! We got us a Easter bun and cheese.
Amazing selection of Goya products!
I have visited this store many times over the years. The owner and staff are always super helpful and kind. They have not just Latin American foods but also African foods too. If you cant find something, just ask. Theyre very helpful.
Love the various options to choose from. Glad my Italian/Puerto Rican sissy was with me to tell me what everything was🤷 we spent so much. It was well worth it💖
Love this store. They are so friendly
Owner insulted us...I asked if he sells breadfruit and the owner said, breadfruit is only for my regular customers. You never tell people thats spending their hard earned cash, your product is for special people..We were frequent shoppers there..nothing less than $100.00 each trip...havent been back since..
Convenient place for Caribbean and African food items..
I found everything I need.
The people are so friendly. I dont live in Cleveland and have only been there a couple of times but my family has been going there for years. They always remember us and are a good source if you want to know about cultural social events in the area. Price is good too.
I’ve given this place so many chances. They never open on time. It’s 10:20 am and all employees here except whoever opens the door. Take the time to update your hours if you can’t be open by the hours you post. Simple
Today 7/2/20 I went to this store to buy some spanish roots and other items. I was encountered by gentleman, think he was the butcher, he had the coat on. He told me that my 11yo that was wearing a mask, was not able to go inside the store, due to the COVID-19. I told him that was so ridicoulus, we can go to Walmart, Giant Eagle other supermarkets and no problems. I told him that he was loosing my sale and left. He abrubtly shut the door on my face. Lost My business forever. BOYCOTT LA BORINCANA!!!
Very great place to shop. Went there for the first time and they were very nice with me and very welcoming. Im going to start shopping there from now on. I just love these people and no matter what race or color you are they welcome everybody
Good quality of products and fair deal
Found everything I need and more. Courteous sales people. Great place to shop
Quick stop to pick up seasonings from the Caribbean.
Outstanding International food store with great Service and employees!
I enjoy visiting this store but they need to have their hours of business posted or there should be a prompt on the phone when you call that gives you the business hours and address. Just a suggestion. I went there today expecting to be able to purchase something to cook today. I sat there until I decided to leave. I called, no answer. No hours of business posted. Apart from this I absolutely love this store. They are familiar with me as I am with them.
Great place a lot of variety to choose from staff are friendly and helpful been there many times we will be back
I love this grocery store. I can easily shop to cook Jamaican traditional dishes for a month without repeating a dish... SATISFIED
BEST VARIETY OF SPICES AND FOOD FROM CARIBBEAN COUNTRIES
If you are looking for exotic foods from other countries this is a good place to go. 24 countries are represented there. Central and South America, Caribbean, Africa. Etc. We needed banana leaves and we found them!
Good for Caribbean, Latin, and African food (best on Cleveland area).
Thats my favourite store... they always make me smile.... the music is relaxing too... good job RICKY
Nice little store for import food
You get used to the place once you go there a lot, the people are nice and make you laugh youll find food from Argentina to Jamaica. Its like your neighborhood family market its pretty cool
Love Mike and this place. They always have unique foods. Mike is so wonderful always greets you. Very friendly welcoming environment.
The best location. #Superb
You can only use a debit or credit with a minimum of $15 purchase.
The best Latino variety in the area, you just have look beyond a few things that are culturally different, like chicken in a bucket of water. Seriously my in laws are weird with food storage too and I have just learned to not judge it and when in doubt, dont eat it.
They had everything Spanish. Which is great in one location. However, must spend $15.00+ in order to use debit or credit card. Good customer service.
Nice place for African food at low cost.
Great service, the owner Ricky goes above and beyond, multi cultural ethic food/goods, hey the trolley visits this place...
Plenty of Hispanic and African goods. This is the place to discover them. I liked the products I ordinarily cant find elewhere. My favorites are the hot sauces and coffee.
This a non descript looking place on the outside, unless you really dont pay attention you can miss it, no signs on building, but inside its tight but the variety is absolutely outstanding, the place is alot of small aisles loaded with things you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else, the exotic smells in this place reminds me of afro-caribbean markets in New York, there is so much to see that its like a museum, everything catches your eyes, they pack ALOT into a small space, it is very authentic, unless your not into food from Africa, South America, Central America, or Asia you would be a little lost in here, you really have to be into these types of food to navigate this place, it is a learning experience, you will be saying OMG alot of times in La Borincana😀😁🥰
I love this store..alitte small but i get what i need.
Get your African, South American and Caribbean and groceries in one location.
It has a good variety of Hispanic food items, but not everything
Great Caribbean, spanish, African food and meat
Ricky, the store owner, always make sure i get what I need! La Boricana has a variety of food from different areas if the world, The Carribeans, Central America, and Africa. You always feel at home when you shop at the store! Ricky will make you feel like family!
Imported goods African and Hispanic. Great store for hard to find items.
Its a small store but they have every kind of food spices and meats from difrents countrys speak english and spanish
Good for African groceries
Cheapest African store in all of Cleveland. They have the most variety too. Pretty cool place def.
They have a small but great selection of Colombian goods. Store is very small barely any room to walk but the products make it worth it
Great place with everything you need to make delicious African and spanish meals😍😍😜😜😜
Great place to shop international foods.
Always something new and good to try. Great prices on EVERYTHING!!
The food sold here is good quality but when youre at the produce section there are tons of fruit flies everywhere and the store employees dont seem to mind it.
Best place in Cleveland for Hispanic groceries.
Was able to get what I needed, and good customer service
Large selection from all over the world and very friendly, helpful staff.
I love this place. I dont get to make it out there often but every time I go there they always have exactly what I need for authentic puerto rican dishes. No matter if it is cookware, fresh food or any spices its there.
Great Jamaican food
Very small but privately owned so thats good
Work here for a long time love the place its remind me of back home in new york all types of different kind of peoples come and shop here from all over the world and the owner is the best boss and caring person that work hard to keep everybody happy and remind them of their foods from back home where theyre from,,,thank you Ricky Muniz for la Borincana foods store God bless U your friend frankie gonzalez
Best place for Caribbean food items. I found my Grandma her Dominican oregano here, because thats the ONLY KIND she would cook with.
Its like walking into a bodega in NYC. Great prices and a huge selection of spanish products.
Really good place. Had many food stuffs from different countries.
This is a great place for African food just wish the place didnt smell.
They have a range of products from Latin America that would appeal to people from around the world, such as salted fish, Columbian cheese, and many Goya products... however, and, unfortunately, they did not have all the ingredients we needed to make Puerto Rican sofrito, which is kind of like the trinity of Cajun cooking (onions, bell peppers, and celery), only with more ingredients: garlic, parsley, and other items, and serves the same purpose: providing the flavor basis for meats, soups, and sauces. If they succeeded in that regard, they would have earned an additional star from me. I would also like for them to place a zap light near the doorway, as flies were prevalent. It is not a good look for a grocery store, but some of the items such as the dried fish, and salted fish attracts them.
Really wide selection of foods! Could be a little better organized.
Great selection of all things Latin American, the guys working here are real helpful and friendly
The guys are very knowledgeable on all of the goods in the store.
Has a lot of spanish food items to choose from that are imported. Lots of exclusive foods,drinks,spices,snacks,candies. Its worth looking in stopping there.
Always get my African food ingredients from here, the best in Cleveland and their price is good too
Good variety. Great place for international foods.

I have been going to this store of and on since 1969, for specific items that they always have available
Good variety of Caribbean produce
Great place for your own indigenous food
Not open says open at 10 and its 1021 not open
Good
The owner is such a liar and is very disrespectful and likes to hang up the phone on people when you call over there to see if he sells certain products and he wont sell Tabaco hilado from Puerto Rico or candy from Puerto Rico youre better off going to Tonys market because they know how to respect Puerto Rican people and all other countries and they sell candy from Puerto Rico
This little store has so much packed into its tiny space. The people are always really helpful and the music makes me feel like Ive stepped back into the Caribbean even in the dead of winter.
They do not let kids in the store
Fantastic store with a very wide variety of foods.
I can find all the Latino stuff. A little overpriced
Ricky the owner is good
Very good people best price in town
Way to find natural things for every horizons
Has a variety of products from different nationalities.
Great selection of Trinidadian foods.
