(This venue is closed.) Even by malta standards, Puerto Rico's El Sol (12 fl. oz.; 59 cents) is very sweet; especially in aroma but also in flavor, this brown-black beverage brought to mind chocolate Yoohoo. Also spotted on the shelves: Ranchero brand salsa Inglesa and salsa China. You may know them better as the sauces Worcestershire and soy.
