Hi
I am looking for some specific Ecuadoran items that I haven't been able to find in the Mexican-oriented markets near me. I'm looking for Naranjilla (could be frozen), Chicha, and Panala (aka Piloncilla). Any suggestions for a market that might have a more varied inventory? I think it's possible that these might also be found in Peru as well.
Thanks in advance...

Just north of The Music Box Theatre on Southport, at the stop light/across from The DQ is a small market that carries lots of S. American items (and has VERY yummious Empanada's/ Pastellitos @ the counter!!)

The Cermak Produce at 4234 North Kedzie has a fair number of Ecuadoran and Peruvian (not asked in original post but may be useful for others) items that may not be carried at other locations. The eastern parts of the Irving Park and Albany Park neighborhoods house material numbers of people from Ecuador and Peru.

Success at that Cermak Produce! Frozen, not fresh, but that's OK. I'm not sure I got the right Chicha (I got the impression it was alcoholic, and this one was a cider that didn't have alcohol, but I could be wrong)
