OK guys...Listen up...This store rocks, The store is always clean the cashiers and staff are very friendly, polite and yes, they do speak English..

The Produce department has lots of very fresh fruits and vegetables, with extremely fair prices. The meat Department has excellent prices and chicken and pork, their hamburger meat is so lean that you have to add fat to the meat to keep it from sticking to the pan, plus, it is cheaper then Costco's hamburger. The Deli Department has lots of fresh salsa for sale and the taqueria has great assortment of Mexican style lunches and dinners ready for mom to bring home , on the way home from work or soccer practice, all excellent prices as well

If you want a porterhouse or a New york stripe this is not the place

If you want Lemon grass and fresh horseradish , this is not your place

Still if you want good quality foods for your family at a great price(85% of the time you'll find chicken 1/2 and legs for under a dollar, hamburger at 3.99 ) this is the place.

You can even fill up your water bottles for 25 cents a gallon

Come on guys give it a try

I bought corn husks for tamales, two days later when I opened the package the "hojas" were damp, slimy, and moldy. I went back to the store the following day with a receipt, the manager refused to refund my money. He insisted only on store credit for that day. He told me he usually does not return money unless it is within 24 hours of purchase. Mind you this product was not perishable. So I decided to purchase ground beef but... the beef was brown and was told by the same manager that the meat was fresh, it only looks that way because of the lights in the meat department. Needless to say, take caution when purchasing meat there, it didn't look fresh. So I ended getting two containers of "mole" since they would not return my money. Basically the manager didn't believe me that I had bought a defected product even after I brought two more packages of moldy, wet corn husks off the shelves to his attention. I believe in supporting local small businesses but, not this one...the customer does not come first.
