(This venue is closed.) This pleasant little store is devoted to goods from Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, though as I walked in, one of the owners was engaged in a lengthy telephone order regarding "Cameroon" and "Croatia." (Football jerseys, you may have guessed, even without a look in the window.)
As for food, Oriete brand fig jam (500 g.; $1.40) has a thin, puddinglike texture; it's sweet without going overboard. Not worthy of passion, but hard to beat on price.
