Most major supermarkets carry this type of cheese in the dairy section.



If you can't find it, sometimes I search the web for mexican supermarkets near (whatever your location). That might help.
It is round and thick and white. One brand name is Cacinque and you find at some supermarkets but also at a Mexican mercado.
In Mexican restaurants they sometimes use Monterary Jack or Sharp Cheddar. At some points they might even use monzzerela.
queso fresco is typical you can find it in grocery stores now...or try a mexican grocer.
