This Latin grocery is well-stocked with goods from Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, though if your sweet tooth is acting up, you'll find that most of your options feature guava in some guise or other. An exception: Castipan brand bocadillo de cereals, rosa (24 pieces; 500 g.; $1.69), from Colombia, which seem to be rosewater-flavored jellies even though the package dismisses them as "cereal paste."
Tropicfruit brand bocadillo Veleño (1,000 g.; $5.99), from Colombia, are thinner-sliced and thicker-crusted than their brethren from D' Mi Tierra, but they have the same rustic appeal, and they likewise keep a lid on cloying guava flavor.
