If you’ve ever had food served by street vendors in Mexico, you know how addictive and delicious that casual cuisine is. From tacos and tamales to fresh fruit and sweet treats, those small Mexican markets serve the best antojitos — which literally means “snacks” or “the cravings” — on the planet. Recently, a new snack shop opened in Renton that serves scrumptious antojitos and other Latin-inspired cuisine. And once you try it, you’ll be advocating for one of these on every street corner.
Jazzy's Antojitos & Gelatinas opened in May of 2021 in this little space on NE Sunset Blvd. in Renton.
Longtime business partners and friends Jazmin Becerra and Joselyn Chavez opened the spot together, combining their talents. Joselyn was born in Los Angeles to immigrant parents from El Salvador. Jazmin and her family came from Mexico, and both women appreciate the hard work and sacrifices of their parents that helped them get here today.
Inside the small snack shop, you'll find bold colors, a welcoming atmosphere, and a giant menu of tasty treats.
Jazmin got her start in antojitos by making and selling her popular gelatinas, which people often think is ice cream -- but it's a gelatin-based snack.
And if you're craving something savory instead of sweet, we highly recommend the corn in the cup, which combines chips, hot corn, and lime.
Jazzy's is currently open Tuesday - Thursday from 2 p.m. - 8 p.m., Friday from 2 p.m. - 9 p.m., Saturday from noon - 9 p.m., and Sunday from noon - 8 p.m.
