Nuevo Siglo

Before settling down to a dessert at the lunch counter, I took a tour of Nuevo Siglo's well-stocked shelves (five-pound tins of membrillo!); there's also a good selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as a meat counter and a baked-goods section. Back at the counter, it turned out that my tres leches ($1.50) was not immediately at hand; a clerk retrieved one labeled "Lila's Desserts" from the refrigerator case of the market itself. Good, but I'd passed up fresher versions elsewhere.
