So Im start to believe you cant go wrong with Armando and Sons. They had everything I could have wanted. I wish there store in Pawtucket had the same selections or was I lucky. Hmmm. No matter what Im doing my meat and my international shipping with them.

So it was a nice clean place. Had a lot of different meats, vegetables, n Spanish food products. I was in n out of there at a 1 oclock time frame. Now I gave it a 4 star because the game who took care of me seemed like he was in a rush and I was the only person on the beef side of the meat. Now I brought T-bone stesks and 4 of them. Was planning 2 buy more but the man didnt make me feel 2 welcome. Now I will say he wasnt rude. But just in a rush. Did not offer me no deals if they had any none of it. Just gave me my meat n walked away n so did I. Other than that gd meat n clean place.

This placed made me think I was back to Florida, seriously! Everyone was speaking Spanish, Latin grocery, Latin service. Place is big, divided into chicken, pork, beef sections. Shop didnt smell clean. Meat is pricier (50 cents / Lb) than in my favorite butcher shop which was closed that day. She cut our London broil to thick, meat was looking red outside, but brown inside when I opened my package home. Selection was good, a lot of fresh and frozen meats. Produce was way to expensive. Deli choice was limited to 1 Carando prosciutto. Its just OK. Papaya was the saver of the trip, as ripe and sweet as it was in Florida! Room to grow guys! Probably will not be back for meat!

It has completely changed! Not clean as before, too much clutter upon entering, if theres a line on register one, you cant get by, people have to move and the meat doesnt look fresh, specially the chicken. Sad to see the change from what it once was.

Well, its a market (surprise!). They sell meat and seafood. You can also find Caribbean products which is perfect considering the population around here. I even found some African products that I havent seen in a while. They even sell some kinds of bread. The service is good also.

Ive driven by this place a million times and always wanted you stop by. I finally went a few weeks ago and now Im obsessed. The New York strip is the tastiest Ive found anywhere and such a great price. I love supporting a local business as well. I plan on buying all my meat whenever I can.

The butchers behind the meat counter are friendly and helpful. Wide selection of meats and produce. The shopping aisles themselves are quite narrow which might be anxiety inducing during the current COVID-19 pandemic, however the patrons of this store were calm and respectful of each others person space.

This was my first visit and will not be my last. This Armando & Sons makes the Pawtucket one look like a corner store. They have everything you need in a shopping experience for Caribbean people. I Love it here!!

Review №21

Pretty much been patronizing Armando & Sons for several months now and theyre consistent. I almost always get 3 pounds of chicken breast each time I come here since Im eating a certain amount each day. Never had any issues with quality. Prime location right off of 95 so its very easy to get to. It was a little awkward the first few times I was here since Im not terribly good at speaking any language aside from English. Yet everyone Ive talked to speaks English so no worries if you havent brushed up on your Spanish recently. Theyll take care of you at Armandos, and for that reason, Ill keep coming back 👍

Forgot why I stopped going there, other than the fact I hate the smell of meat markets. Bought some beef short ribs for Sunday dinner, got 2 dzn of eggs free. Meat prices were pretty good and they cut the short ribs to my specifications. I dont think Ill be sleeping on them anymore.

Review №24

This place smells like decomposing meat as soon as you come in. They Will sell meat even if it’s rotten. This is one of the worst meat markets I’ve ever been to. I do not suggest this meat market to anybody. There definitely seem to be no standards in this place at all. And if there are they are very low.

The place is unbelievable... Whatever your looking for they pretty much have it from everyday cuts of meat to some of the more exotic. Fresh produce and an array of specialty cooking products.

Best market around. Great prices, huge selection, very friendly staff. I like getting the meat package #3 which I then separate and deep freeze. The savings on it are great and you get twenty different cuts of chicken, beef, and chicken so we can constantly cook something different. Great seafood selection also.

Did not buy anything but the meats looked awesome. The selection of fresh and frozen foods is incredible. Prices seemed reasonable. You can find foods and meats that regular stores dont carry, like pigs and cow feet, heart, goat meat. Very interesting

Previously, Ive never had an issue. Good prices, and decent quality (usually); however, yesterday 8/17/2019 I bought 2.5 lbs of their marinated chicken to be grilled only to find out it was full of maggots and fly eggs. I cannot in good conscience recommend a place that sells potentially contaminated and improperly stored meat...

Review №45

I frequent this market often. Prices are good for some meats. You can get meat here that you wont find elsewhere. They will cut it for you any way you like. You get a dozen eggs free if you spend $50+ in one transaction. I give 3 stars because there can sometimes be very extensive wait times at the meat counter and also some employees only speak Spanish which makes ordering interesting to say the least..lots of pointing. Good cafeteria.

Review №53

Big love! All the meat parts presented on a counter. You can decide how much you want (in most cases), how you would like the meat to cut. Have so much variety of meat. This is my dream meat market. Fresher than lots of chain supermarkets but cheaper on average. Too bad I am leaving this state. It would be hard to find another one like this.

They need to check the numbers before serving the customers. I have been standing here over 30-40 mins. and a customer say she has the # which she came after me because I am standing right in front of the # and she gets serve before me and this has been going on awhile now. We shop here we all need to be fair.
