From warm arepas and artisan breads to Latin groceries and everyday pantry staples — Platanito brings flavor, tradition, and convenience to the heart of Lexington.
Platanito was born from a simple idea: Lexington deserved a place where the aroma of freshly baked bread could meet the comfort of familiar Latin flavors — all in one stop.
Whether you're picking up ingredients for tonight's dinner, grabbing a quick breakfast pastry, or searching for that specific brand of plantain chips your abuela would approve of, we've got you covered.
Every item is chosen with care — whether it's baked fresh each morning or sourced from trusted suppliers.

I drove all the way from Richland Avenue just for their Cuban bread. It's that good — crispy on the outside, soft inside, and smells incredible when you walk in.
Finally a place in Lexington where I can find everything for my weekly cooking — the groceries, the spices, and a fresh arepa to eat while I shop. Absolute gem.
The staff is so welcoming and the selection is amazing. My kids love the churros and I love that I can grab dinner ingredients on the way home from work.
