In Costa Rica it's called pulpería. Another common term, perhaps more formal, is abastecedor. The pulpería on the corner isn't taking any chances; one sign calls it the Abastacedor Yurusti and another sign calls it El Super Yurusti. No matter how you slice it, it's just a pulpería. (Sounds like a place to sell "pulpos", doesn't it?)
I think I've heard pulpería in Mexico too. Guys?
