I love this store. This is where I get my fruits, veggies, and fresh made tortillas and bread. In addition, it is very affordable. They have a special on fruits and veggies on Wednesday which I love it.

Time to hire more people I live across the street never come here last time I came was like 8 months ago and today I remember why that is don’t shop here people go to artegas better quality and service

Prices are definitely competitive amongst other grocery stores. They carry fresh raw poultry & authentic Mexican food along with fresh fruits & veggies! This is the cheapest place to get a green juice!

It obvious employees here really dont care about customer service. However you will run into one or two nice cashiers. There is an incredibly nice and helpful gentleman in the meat department. The managers are just there to boss people because they lack tremendously in customer service as well. I ran into a small inconvenience that I wasnt complaining about I just needed help . The main manager was absolutely no help, she then assigned what Im guessing was a surpervisor to help me, but the young girl was clueless on how to help. I pretty much I had to figure things out myself and guide her. On top of her mugging face .

I would give it more stars but the produce section is horrendous. Lots of stuff looks really bad and some is just not good at all. Unfortunately, this makes me question whether other stuff is fresh in the store.. And obviously that is not something you should have to worry about while grocery shopping.Has a pretty good selection overall. The prices are also fair.

Its a good place to shop for food and its very cheap it also has a restaurant the food its good its just the customer service it needs attention from management to the cashiers and servers they take care of personal matters in front of clients

This is the worst meat section in America. You will have to wait in line for 8 hours. Do not come here if you have something to do for the day. Just take a day off from work.You might need to take some vacation days.There is a line of 20 people right now and they only have one worker.So you might need to take some time off from your life.

They sell rotten meat! And they do not make an effort to make it better unless you have your receipt even when its still packaged with their own logo in the bag. Customer service sucks.

Great prices, but too crowded! And saw a couple of people entering the store with no mask. Tip: of your going to get meat, get your ticket first and then go get your veggies. I got #46 and they were on 15!!!

Review №36

Honestly. They dont really have the best service. You will never find a parking spot. Nor a car to put your groceries. And add to that the long lines in the cash register and the fact that its packed with people all the time. So. Overall not my favorite store. I only go there when ones or twice a year. When I dont have other choice. Like today.

Needs more cashiers, long lines, fruits and vegetables are not always fresh, lazy staff in the deli department never want to bring out more meat when having specials/sales

Review №38

One of the great grocery stores in Salinas and Monterey County. This store features a wide variety of grocery items and produce at unbeatable prices. In fact, the prices at this store, especially when it comes to produce, are rare to find anywhere else in the area. Some of their produce may not be very fresh sometimes though. Its important to choose a good time to visit the store, as it can get very crowded sometimes, specially Sunday afternoon. Saturday is a good time to visit if you want to go on the weekend.

As you all know toilet paper is now only 2 per person. The store manager came over to where the toilet paper was and was very rude. My grandpa (who does not know English) was simply comparing the toilet papers and the women comes and snatches them out of his hands. And I quote “only two per person sir.”

If youre looking for the foods or ingredients to cook Mexican food, this is the place.Or, you can go to the Cocina, the kitchen, and Mexican food already made.I do have one complaint, the store is packed. It seems that they want to use every inch of the store to put items for sale. You have to navigate the store space.Theres been times when I walk in and walk out, so many people.

Good prices on produce, get n.v really good quality, but depends on seasonal items. Meat department is very busy with good sele tion and prices. Long wait for meat and avoid Wednesday its super busy. Long waits to check out almost the time. If you are in a hurry, dont go here. Deli is good and great for catering. Parking is a challenge there too.

The workers are disgustingly rude. Their management is horrible. Specifically the meat department, a man next to me had to tell the ladies to not treat or talk to the people like animals. Never going back there and I’m telling my family members to not go there. I’ve never been so disappointed and disgusted.
