Try BevMo for the beer and just buy the food off of the internet.

Hi, does anybody know where I can buy Dominican products, like food, drinks... etc in Southern California? I live in Orange County. My wife keeps asking me if there is a store where she can buy things like Induveca salami or presidente beer. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Good afternoon. I doubt that you will have any luck finding a Dominican food store or restaurant in Orange County, but I believe that you should be able to find small Latin (Mexican) food stores where you can buy Plantains, Yucca, possibly Batata, Queso por frito, Pan de agua, and the odd meats that dominican's eat such as salt fish, rabo, beef feet, ect. It's been a long time for me, but I use to buy food from a small mexican food store in Hawiian Gardens, and I'll tell you that it is a dangerous town to be in (gangs) so only go in the mornings if you choose to. My suggestion is to look for other small mom & pop type mexican food stores close to you. With refrence to Presidente beer, you won't find REAL presidente as it is bottled for the US by miller brewing co with the permission of Presidente.. Both are Pilsner beers, but it's NOT Presidente.. Hope this helps, and good luck to you both!

If you can find the Grande 22 oz bottles of Presidente (Not jumbos), they come from the DR. Your welcome, good luck to you both!
