Pretty tasty joint although the scallop and shrimp fajitas were a yad overcooked. The quality of the scallops were spot on though and the taste was great. I would definitely be back for more seafood. The prices are very reasonable. Outdoor dining inside tent with ambient lighting. I went with my friend Josh and he made buddies with the guy sitting beside us. Overall nice atmosphere and easy parking in big lot

Guys at the deli were messing with me because i didnt speak Spanish. They were laughing about it until i went the wrong direction and made a scene. And wanted to fight. Wasnt funny anymore. Why the unprofessional attitude at a place of business. Also why at 48 years old does situations like that put me in the red. No problems or care in the world when i was in my 20s. Physically not the same person i was back then. It shouldnt be like that from both perspectives.

On Saturday I went to buy tacos in the restaurant inside Tropicana Food and when the girl was giving me the food I seen an older lady coming out of the kitchen with her mask not covering her nose. When I see it, it makes me feel uncomfortable. I feel like I cant go back for my safety and I regret not saying something when I first seen her not wearing her mask properly but I didnt want to offend her. No more. If we see someone not wearing their mask correctly we need to speak up and educate. We are all in this together.

It was 8:54 PM. The young man told me the store is closed. I asked him, what time does the store close? He answered 8:55 PM. I was denied entry at the door. I will never attempt to step foot in this establishment. Save yourself time and use your money where you are treated with respect.

The store has been a staple in E. San Jose for many years, despite many stores shutting down, long before Target, Walgreens, Walmart and mi pueblo chain stores. Isles are clean and shelves are fully stocked, competitive prices, great variety of home remedies found nowhere else. A complete supermarket featuring; a bakery store featuring bread, coffee, and cakes for all occasions, a deli market with savory dishes, a clean-cut meat department, also has fresh vegetables, and legumes department with imported and local produce, highly recommended

Review №35

If youre looking for some good Mexican products or brands from Mexico maybe consider checking out this place but if youre looking for fresh meats and things like that Whole Foods or Safeway might be a better place

My dad goes walking daily to bakery at Tropicana Foods for his conchas and I go right beside him to make sure his okay. Excellent customer service however my dad misses previous owner Don who was Manager since the 1960s or 1970s. God Bless Staff at Tropicana Foods. ☺💗🌅

This store has a good selection of all things mexican. So if you know what you want and are near by good place to go in and get out. The service on the other hand could use a lot of work, some of the workers are very rude. I would recommend going elsewhere if you can.

Very disappointed on their Mexican restaurant they have inside, the food quality is poor, overrated on the salt, to much salt on the carne asada, beans are out of a canned, rice texture is very poor, again to damm salty, no taste on their food. very bad costumer service, not worth the money and time for this place. DONT EAT AT THIS PLACE!!!!

Unsanitary and rude service. One of the female workers did not bother to wash her hands after sweeping the floor and handling the cheese. What really makes this store a 1 star review is the fact she was rude after we politely addressed her unsanitary action. We asked for a new slice after talking to the manager, but unfortunately the woman was still rude towards us.

My surprise is that when we were talking on the telefone Mr. Daniel speaks to me in English and I spoke to him in Spanish so he understands that auqnue I am a person who speaks many languages ​​prefer Spanish.so our conversation was in Spanish while we were at telefone.He asked me to check out the giblets and happy life take them also got me there, minutes earlier.and I do not understand, why? if you know that I speak Spanish after having spoken to me on the phone, because you spoke to me in inglish? when we talked in person, its a little improfessional excuse the comment, but I think other than that we were really speaking in Spanish, not English if you wanted to humiliate me when I started to talk like you were wrong. the fact that I look like a Hispanic is the fact that I am Hispanic I speak my native language, truly it is because I love my country of origin and not ashamed of being proudly Mexican. So it would be more comfortable if for some reason you speak Spanish.Please speak in Spanish when addressing a Hispanic person in Spanish is better thanks.here I leave what I divided and so its often looked after the talks that had us where you clearly express that there was nothing wrong with the food.Let me remember his exact words have guys pay attention !!!!there its notigth Wrong With the plates Besides food missing one of Then! do you want me to put whats missing or wanted it like this?really a manager asking if you really want to receive what you pay for !!! Have Beenlittle funny for something like that.I reply of course I pay for them right I just say okay and walk awy to complete the order no apologi or why not any explanation at all. becuase the whos I have to drive back to the location my gas thousands, in time its not then a value for but its for me ...........
