Good place to have variety of foods. It is full of maxican goods, spices, fish, meat,, fruits, avocados and what not!!! You can buy freshly baked goods, pastry, cakes, biscuits!! Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables! This place is clean!

I like fresh fruits and veggies. But, its usually hard to find a good variety to introduce to the family. I love this particular compare location because it never lets me down in the area of variety. I live an hour 15 minutes away from the store, but I make a point to come here, has at least four other compares, at least once per month.

Not crowded got in and out in no time.

They Have Dry Bread. Very Disappointed. The Bread Was So Hard And Didn’t Taste Good

I like this store as well as their other locations throughout Charlotte. They have a wide selection of mostly Hispanic foods and household items. The prices can be kind of high compared to other grocery stores but the produce and meats are always very fresh and they also sell premarinated meat as well. I wouldnt do my weekly grocery shopping here but they have some things you cant get at a traditional grocery store.

The staff is friendly and helpful and always hardworking. Compare Foods has everything that you need and they will always be there when you need it :D

Nice food store in Monroe for shopping and eating lunch outside.

Be careful with what you purchase here!! check those expiration dates!

This place has the best looking and fresh vegatbles and fruits in Charlotte! They also have sea food, from live talapia to live blue crab.

Nice international market. Good place to buy fish.

Great produce selection! They also carry cuts of meats that you wouldnt necessarily find in other stores. You can purchase different types of seafood also. They also have an extensive selection of shelved items. This Compare has a bakery that makes tasty cookies, breads, pastries and cakes. There is also a check cashing service, a money transfer service and a jeweler in-store. Outside there are a couple of lunch trucks selling tacos, tortas and other types of food. Overall this is a good place to shop but their prices can be a little higher than other stores for their shelved items.

Compare Foods is where I go to get my Aloe drink, also I feel they do compare to other grocery stores. Fresh meats 🙊🙉🙈

Needs a better clean environment product is good price is good

Stood at the seafood counter for 10 min with them just looking at me, I asked if anyone serving the guy told me no lol I’m like Waite so you just have the seafood here for show. Only thing they have exactly what I wanted to buy bulk load of seafood but I still left for somewhere els.

Was super pack and busy they need to open more cashier

Very friendly staff and knowledgeable about all products and their location in store. Beautiful meats and produce. Prices reflect current market prices yet in abundance per package.

Nice place to buy you needs for your kitchen.

Cashier Evelyn extremely RUDE.. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. SEEMS LIKE SHE DOESNT WANT TO BE THERE.

There were Roaches crawling in the bakery showcase..I told the lady and she did nothing like they belong there

Extremely high prices.Would not recommend.

Good job. Great attitude good prices. The people here are very nice and respectful. They have a great selection meats to choose from. Also a lot of produce to choose from.

Well, I have to rate them a one star because of their expired items. This is not the first time I’ve seen something like that.I told the manager and I handed her a can of condensed milk and she just said “oh let me check”But whatever, they just don’t care.Today’s date: Jan-08-2020

Its an awesome place to shop. Just Iike overseas..

I love being able to get culturally diverse food in a clean an well.lit space.i have been going to Compare foods for years. May it be the Sugar Creek store or the one off Milton Rd. I have never had a bad shopping experience and everything that I ever seemed was procured there. So yes the selection is fantastic. I just dont care for that strange smell coming from that meat area. Its enough to rush me on through the store whenever I smell it. I immediately recall why I dont shop there on the regular.

Everything was great.

I love this store, a lot of good fresh foods.

Plenty of groceries as well as bakery, food truck outside and other things.

Very good supermarket

Didnt have what I wanted. Quesitos

I just had to throw away 2 pounds of beef that I purchased one day ago because it turned grey and smelled foul. If you shop here do not buy any meat products and if youre buying anything else double check expiration dates, make sure they havent been tampered with. I wonder how the health department still allows this place to operate.

Always seems to fill up on things that are low. I have never gone there when some was completely out of. The People always great at helping you out!! 🥰💕

The Most reasonable supermarket EVER!

Always a great place to shop for good things that isnt available in your conventional store.

Workers there are very helpful specifically the ones thatll at the vegetables and meats department

Great store to find that Latin product that you are looking for!!

I find EVERYTHING Im shopping for here.. All my fresh Fruits & Vegetables, Healthy juices, other goodies also, and the prices are very reasonable.. The employees, inside & outside, are polite, helpful, and kind to all shoppers..!! BLESSINGS..

Ok. Didnt have the items I wanted. Clean store.

They have practically all the meats you can think about..love that..great prices. Great choices.

I love shopping here. I get my food from this place. They got good customer service.

Dont waste your money there. We got there Beef Skirt Steak and it was disgusting, called and talked to the manager Jesus Gonzalez and the costumer service was very poor! Never again!!!

Good for everyone who are looking for fresh fruits and vegetables.

Texan here …… so we got some bread from their bread department ….being from Texas we just put the bread in a bag and kept on shopping….their manager fr fr came to us when we tried to pay for the bread up front and told us there was no way we could buy the bread and snatched the bag away ! LIKE WHAT ??? Ive worked at a grocery store in the past and there was multiple ways to ring up an item ………..This store is a joke, it also stinks like stale cheese all the time . This place is whack

I always buy the occasional cakes from here. They are very good

I find this is a place to go to, for specific stuff, otherwise its kind of expensive, asparagus $5.99, oxtail $9.99, Food lion will be better for everyday stuff. I search for flour for arepas and only one girl knew what I was referring to! And they only had one brand, unknown to me. And it was work to get them to help me. I understand other locations may be better.

Love the deals and excellent service. Look outside at the taco 🌮 trucks delicious food O.M.G!!!!

Its like a country update store.Everything you need, see you have.Just wright for me and family wise.And very much so friendly.🤗 Thanks August 1,2020

Good prices and availability of items 👌

Great variety of international foods from all origins

Love the produce and variety at this store. The food trucks outside always have fresh, authentic tacos. Great sweet breads section and delicious tres leches cakes. Wish the produce prices were a bit more reasonable.

My favorite store!!!!

Great customer service.

Has many items and services.

Great customer service.. An array of different spices from different countries.. Wonderful and friendly cashiers..

I really like the fact that almost all the fruit and vegetables are loose and they are cheaper compared to other places. I also believe they are fresher and healthier. The other parts of the supermarket I really liked were the fish and baking sections. You can ask to clean or fillet fresh fish and the baked goods are so good.

Huge selection of fresh produce that is much more affordable than the brand name stores. The international variety here is fantastic and the staff are very friendly and helpful. There is plenty of parking and its feels very safe. This is my favorite place to get marinated meats,peppers, and cactus... and stuff for a big gathering.

Its a decent store, kinda cramped though, and the seafood section usually is extra ripe smelling, always crowded but the lines move really quickly

Love this place!. Since shopping here Im able to keep food on the table for my kids. The meats and can goods are the best ever. Just to know my kids can eat every meal every day is heart warming not having to skip a meal. Blessings to the owners and workers. Helping to keep America great!

Sad place

Not crowded. Everything stocked up. All employees and customers wearing masks.

I like this market. Their seasonings are a little pricey but the prices of their meats are reasonable. They have a large variety of meats some that I havent even seen in Philadelphia. What i like is that you dont have to go to a meat counter and ask them to weigh out a certain amount of meat. Everything is fresh and already weighed, packaged and priced. The store is always clean and well organized and recovered better than most supermarkets and retail stores Ive been to.

Great place to find latin, Carribean food items in Charlotte.

Compare Foods has a variety of ethnic foods and a family atmosphere. Everyone is welcome.

It was good ! And I get to get my groceries.

There Tower island beef patties are extremely over priced.

I shop here for all of my West Indian seasonings and meats! Great prices! SUPER SMALL! The lanes are too small to fit shoppers, but the check out process is very quick!

The manger was very rude and disrespectful. they cussed us out and threatened to call the police over nothing.

Dirtiest, most disgusting store I’ve ever been to, in any country. Very rude staff as well.

Everything I needed and more.

It really smelled bad as soon as u walked in....glad I had my mask on lol

Fantastic selection of Latino and Central/ South American groceries & specialty items. Specific and wide-ranging cuts of meat, and nice variety of fruits and vegetables. Wish they had American garlic, instead of imported from China...and there are zero organic options.

Nice people to serve the customers. Good product and prices. The only problem is the smell in the store. The service is fast for checking out.

Nice selection of Latin, African and Caribbean fares

What can I tell you about compare foods? Well having been a customer I can tell you quite a bit. Compare foods claims to be inexpensive compared to other grocery stores, its right there in the name but its not true. Compare foods overcharges for anything possible because there customers wont go elsewhere. To get deeper into that problem wed have to break down what type of people shop here (me included. Im not getting into that, thats not the point. Moving on, compare foods is severely understaffed, youll be in line for awhile no matter what because theres probably only 1 line open. When it does get full youll hate this even more, theyll open a whole 3 lines for what seems like 40 people all with groceries pouring out of there carts. But you only have a few items, maybe you came in for a cold drink or you just needed some eggs and milk well too bad. They dont have a special line for people with 20 items or less, even though they have 5 unopen lines (they never open more than 3). And then you see the heartbreaking light indicated that the line is open go out..that means you have to find a new line. As soon as that light comes on the cashier finishes there customer and the rest have to jump in the back of an already long line. No warning or anything. Enjoy it on empty day or you know, shop somewhere cheaper, better staffed and not ran by lazy people.

You can purchase whole pigs here for roasting. The pig I got was shipped from Miami, so it was frozen when I got it (thaw in COLD water overnight). Be careful how you order it. If you order a 40lb pig, youll get a MINIMUM 40lb pig. It can be a $30 difference between a 40lb and 49lb pig. Youll have to order in advance as well. Happy Roasting!

They have items Walmart dont have and more,

They had my season in big one

The meats looked old and everything was so expensive. The employees are rude. When you ask for help they ignore you. I will never shop there again. I went to the Asian market and got better service and got everything I needed at a reasonable price. Oh and their meats was fresh and not gray.

I love shopping at Compare Food because I can find food from my Homeland and the associates are helpful even if they dont speak English as a first language. They are always cleaning and restocking the produce section and I love the fact am getting fresh produce.

I love compare foods but this one is not the best. The only good thing about this place is their employees. The place is so cold that you feel uncomfortable shopping, the meat tent to be bad, the chicken if you don’t cook it right away spect it to be rotten pretty soon. Rats and roaches can be spotted if you go late night. I guess is because the building is very old maybe. The food selection is awesome and you can find almost everything.

Very crowded and too high priced will not return

Large market. Well organized and heavily visited by locals. Price points are those familiar with other locations. The building itself is quite old. The outer entrance area/parking lot could use an update. Only one way in and out.

Very nice produce section. They have just about anything you can possibly need in regards to veggies. Deep selection of ethnic foods and one aisle has nothing but various kinds of beans. The meat section is smaller but has anything you would need from sausage and goat meat to steak and lots of others. I would definitely recommend this place especially if you need certain kinds of meats and their deep produce section alone. And of course they have everything else a typical grocery store has. It leans heavy towards the Spanish and other ethnic races and specializes in that line of products

Its ok

Best market for Latinx ingredients and fresh produce.

Great produce and fresh meats. Even if youre not looking for Hispanic groceries the produce and meats are worth the trip. The prices are great too.

They have a lot of hard to find items such as soft jelly coconuts, island fruit, wide variety of seafood ( check freshness), they also sell herbs and a variety of fresh greens. Caters to South American and Caribbean customers.

Ok

Nice shop for ethnic groceries. The vegetables were not as fresh. Check out was quick

I found here several items that couldnt find at any other store in the city. Im talking about hispanic food, huge variety of products, I love it. Place was really clean and staff helpful and friendly.

Great veggies!!! Clean and neat. Can find different spices and veggies for new and healthy recipes!!! Would recommend this store to all!! Thanks Compare Foods!!!@

Good produce and meat prices for decent quality, amazing drink selection, BEAUTIFUL.

Customer service fair always so far. Notice some prices on items are extremely high... Would sjop for more than meats if prices were reasonable.

An awesome international supermarket. Fresh meats and seafoods. Wide variety of fruits and vegetables.

Great place to shop for groceries! They always have fresh produce and they are cheaper than your regular food lion Harris teeter or walmart. They also offer a variety of ethnic foods: African, asian and Hispanic. I believe it is owned by Hispanic people and as a person of color Id rather shop there and support their business than shop in non ethnic supermarkets.

Good place to buy good food. My Mom bought a nice piece of steak for 7 dollars.

I like shopping at international food markets. They have a great variety of meats and vegetables. This allows need to try new things.

This place has lot of varieties in fruits and vegetables section when compared to other grocery stores. Its recommended to carry ID proof if you are paying with credit card.

We will get fresh pound bread, Nuts bread here. Also, we will get fresh variety of fruits here. Little expensive but good.

This is in reference to the Compare foods on the corner of N.Sharon Amity and Milton Rd. Having been a long standing customer of over 2 1/2 yrs, I was extremely surprised and and appalled by my treatment this past Saturday on April 21st at approximately 10:30 am. I am a disabled veteran and on occasion I go to Octapharmaplasma, which is located in the same shopping center. The money that I earn from my plasma donations is extremely helpful and useful. On the aforementioned date and time, I attempted to purchase 2packs of cigarettes with my debit card. I always check my balance prior to making any type of purchase; this way I know exactly how much I can spend and/or get some cash back if needed. To reiterate, I have been a good customer here for over 2 1/2 yrs. Immediately there was a problem with my debit card, I was told to see the cashier who told me that I had insufficient funds which I knew was not the case. She refused to give me the 2packs of cigarettes, even though the money had already been deducted from my debit card, upon trying it again with one pack of cigarettes, I was told again that the purchase had been declined again for insufficient even though the money was deducted from my account again; a total of over 17 dollars was deducted from my account. They refused to give me the cigarettes and refused to reimburse me. This was in the customer service section no less. I was told repeatedly that my card would replace it on Monday. I asked numerous times why this would occur. They said it happens all of the time with these debit cards. I was becoming increasingly annoyed with her tone and attitude. They debited my card, took my money and refused to give me the items that I had paid for. Really?!?. The customer service manager had the audacity to tell me to my face that; you people cause problems all the time. I dont know if the you people reference referred to customers in general, or customers that were other than Latino. I found this extremely offensive, especially coming from a minority owned business that Ive patronized for over 2 1/2 yrs. The situation was eventually resolved favorably; approximately 6 weeks later. If you took the time to read this post, please take a 1/2 second and click like. Thank you.

Great place to shop for ethnic food. There is the best taco stand outside the store.
