Located in the heart of Mission Street, San Francisco, Antojitos Patry has established itself as a reference for the Nicaraguan and Central American community. This family-run business not only offers traditional products and essential services, but has also created a space that connects local residents with the cultural roots of Nicaragua.
Run by Patricia Lissetth Rocha, a Nicaraguan entrepreneur, Antojitos Patry was born out of a desire to share the traditions of her home country. What began as a small street stand has grown into a vibrant store offering a wide range of products, from pinolillo and rosquillas to traditional clothing and household items. Patricia emphasizes: “We bring Nicaragua to San Francisco,” highlighting the speed and security of their parcel services.
The driving force behind this growing company is not only Patricia, but her entire family. From her children and husband to the children’s grandmother, everyone is an active part of the business. The family is involved in every aspect of the store, from customer service to product selection. The grandmother is often the first to greet customers at the door, ready to help them with whatever they need to reconnect with their country. “It’s a team effort, and each member of the family has a fundamental role to make everything work well,” says Patricia, who highlights the importance of the family unit in the success of Antojitos Patry.
Antojitos Patry is not only a place to find traditional products, but also a center for essential services for the community. Among its main offerings are money transfers through Western Union, package transport to Nicaragua, and tax filing (Income Tax Services). The store has become a trusted place for those who need to send packages or carry out financial procedures safely.
The products available in the store are carefully selected by Patricia, who frequently travels to Nicaragua to bring the best of her homeland. Among the most popular items are old-fashioned cookies, handicrafts, and other typical products that evoke the nostalgia of those who have left their country but wish to keep the connection with their culture alive.
Over the years, Antojitos Patry has managed to strengthen its bond with the Nicaraguan community in San Francisco, becoming an emblematic place. The store not only meets the needs of customers, but also offers a space where warmth and hospitality are felt in each visit.
Antojitos Patry is located at 2847 Mission Street, San Francisco, California, and has established itself as a key place for those seeking to reconnect with their cultural roots. For more information about its products and services, interested parties can call 415-757-0154 or 415-571-1904.
