Hi, my name is alf and grocery store se le conoce como tienda de abarrotes o sea algo parecido a un minisupermercado.

Informally, in conversation, it was always referred to as simply "el mercado". Where I lived, the word mercado referred only to a food market. For anything other than groceries we went to "tiendas".

Answer 5

Something like an "Ingle's" or "Wal-Mart" is a supermercado. A smaller store like a grocery store can be referred to as a mercado, even when it sells other things besides food. Other stores, such as clothing stores in the mall are tiendas....tienda de ropa (clothing store).

Answer 6

bodega--small grocery store.
