Still have difficulty figuring out stars, cept I t discount....
Still have difficulty figuring out stars, cept I think preference increases from left. I do prefer the Cotija, it has more taste than what I bought before (Casero). Also bought Cotija Granulated (more cheese for $) during Cinco de Mayo discount.

Prefer Cotija to Casero. Much more flavor! In a subsequent order, bought Cotija Granulated as a better cheese-for-money deal. Not sure I'm rating correctly, but I give Cotija 5 stars!

Cotija Cheese is white, salty and granular, also similar in flavor to Feta Cheese, it softens but does not melt when heated. Cotija, Michoacan, is a town in Mexico where the name originated.

When the best negro mole maker I knew in Oaxaca became too old to send me home with mole, she had me search in the market for Juquilita mole - which was hard to find. Then I found Mexgrocer - and it would come in just a few days, bundled in three plastic bags. I love bringing my favorite Oaxacan taste to friends here in Maine. AND the people at Mexgrocer couldn't be more helpful. They're the best. THANK YOU!!!
We love this hot sauce! I had to buy the biggest one for the office this time because the little one disappeared so fast. It's flavorful AND spicy, and not just a lot of vinegar!
