Shopping for authentic Hispanic ingredients and foods? This is the place to come. Generally speaking, if this isn't your regular grocery store you'll be coming for the produce (which is fresh and well kept), the hispanic cuisine selection, or the meat. Other than that your mileage may vary just as it would between any other store for essentials and other items, so shop around.
Nowhere else in the Triangle will you find such sheer variety. Produce like fruits, vegetables and giant bunches of fresh herbs of all kinds. Many you might never have heard of, but that are all delicious!
The location is rough, but if you're in the area I would highly recommend going inside.
If you're expecting a typical American grocery store experience you'll be confused and maybe disappointed. But wander around a bit and you will find things that are amazing and unique. Smoked pork chops (so good!). Fresh whole fish they will clean for you. Or seasoned, marinated pork and beef for tacos or stir fry in the meat dept. Odd cuts like chicken backs and necks that make incredible soups and stocks. And often $.99/lb chickens and pork shoulders!
True supermarket. Better merchandise placement than most major retailers. Prices are incredible.
Ethnic family owned supermarket. Great for finding out of the norm herbs like mullin or sugar cane and papaya. Clean friendly environment. Less expensive than a whole foods. This Compare is heavily supported by the community. It has space inside for a computer repair shop divorce attorney cell phone store and more. Great lighting spacious corridors and wide selection of meats in the meat department. Great experience overall.
Though many of the staff speak limited English they're still friendly and helpful. Once I showed a butcher a picture on my phone of a cut of pork I wanted . . . he actually went in back and cut it for me. And grinned ear to ear that I was happy!
Worst customer service ever!! I've been here a handful of times and each time the cashiers are worse. They have no idea what customer service is. My latest experience made me so upset I had to write a review. The cashier felt it was my job to take the groceries out of the basket not a cart a small basket but ok. She must have not felt like taking the items out. But talking about me to another cashier calling me ignorant while I was standing in front of her was the last straw. I will never shop here again.
