Pulperia
A tiny corner store that sells a bit of everything, usually under a tin roof with no electricity. The shopkeeper is always shirtless, sweaty, and has a pen behind his ear. It is easy to spot a Pulperia: there is always a fly-covered salami hanging up, sodas on the shelves, and they sell seasonings like recao (garlic and onion) and recaito (cilantro and peppers). There is usually a sign outside that says CE BENDE MABI (a common misspelling of mabí for sale, a local fermented drink). They are usually out of stock because they give everything out on credit.
Yudeica, go to the pulperia and tell Juan to send three pesos worth of recaito and to put it on my tab.
