Issste began as a government program offered throughout the country to assist lower income families and the elderly, but it is now open to the public. They have a wide range of grocery products from ketchup to shampoo and their prices are the best you’ll find in Taxco. Their pharmacy service is excellent. If they don’t have what you want, they’ll get it for you in a day and they’ll do it at the lowest cost possible. Their goal and one they admirably achieve is to ensure that all people have access to the medicines and groceries they need at a price they can afford.
Our Comment: When we have been ill, Issste has been a life-saver for us, always getting us the prescription drugs we need as fast as possible. If you can't find the Spanish name of the medicine you are looking for, just ask Rosa Martha Gómez Rendón and she will look it up for you.
