I plan to try my hand at making mole poblano in the near future. Aside from the little Mexican groceries in Bergenfield, are there any places that sell Mexican chiles and groceries in NJ? The closer to Lyndhurst the better.

I'm specifically looking for ancho, pasilla negro, guajillo/mulato chiles, Mexican Canela soft-bark cinnamon, and Ibarra Mexican Chocolate. Raw pumpkin seeds are a plus as well.

I have not... I've actually never been, although my mom got their pasta sauce from time to time when I was a kid. I should go especially since AK Market and that new hot dog place are right nearby.

Are they open on Sundays?

Take Passaic Ave exit off rt#3..make a right turn onto Van hougton Ave . About 4-7 blocks on the right hand side is a 'Basics" supermarket. They have all these items. It's a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood. It's where I go when I need them.

I'm going tomorrow, so I'll give you a report. From previous trips, just make sure you are proficient with deep breathing exercises...it's a great place, but just a tad chaotic. It's personally my kind of place.

The ShopRite on Paulison Ave in Passaic also carries a large selection of Mexican (as well as Peruvian, Dominican, Puerto Rican, and other Hispanic) items, including fresh produce and fresh meats
