Unfortunately the vast majority these days of what are regarded as bodegas are absolute food desert garbage dumps.
I always imagine an industrial size machine pumping overtime churning high fructose corny syrup into an array of festively covered bags in which reside all manner of mass-produced junk food ranging from chocolate treats to deep fried pork rinds. So depressing to see like 99%, almost literally, of pre-packaged shit and not one fresh thing in the place (maybe coffee).
That said there are still a pretty good amount of taquerias and the like in the back of some of these dumps. You gotta keep looking. But there are some gems.
