  I honestly can't properly review this place because I didn't feel safe walking in. I was specifically looking for a "Latin market" to purchase peppers to make my own chili powder and this was closest to me. I noticed it was on Dixon (shootings and robberies every day, worst part of Cocoa, central crime zone) and it was about 7 PM when I arrived...dark, but not late. I figured I'd be safe. I was wrong because I didn't realize there was also a Cricket next door. Cricket stores are oddly notorious in poor neighborhoods for being gathering spots and they were a serious problem when I used to have a split living accommodation in Orlando South of downtown.
  
  The market itself was dimly lit from the parking spot where I could see it and I was already wary.
  
  So I parked and looked around and there were about 30 people just standing around outside. One young looking man was sitting on a table and I could see his firearm hanging out of the back of his pants. I'm all for legally carrying firearms but I look like a 16 year old white girl, I was wearing diamond earrings, and I have a Note 8 cell phone...so I instantly popped in reverse and left.
  
  From the excellent reviews I want to come back and try some authentic Latin food but I'll make sure it's a weekday during daylight next time.
