Whether you're cooking up Cuban, Peruvian or Mexican for dinner, this Devon Avenue market, which sits on the Edgewater-Rogers Park border, will mostly likely have the ingredients. The aisles are stocked with a plethora of spices, dried chilies, canned goods, coffees and more from multiple Latin countries, and there's a frozen food section chock full of popular Hispanic products.
