El Super Grocery is a fantastic find for anyone looking to get high-quality, freshly fried fish…read more This massive grocery store has an impressive selection across all departments - from meat and dairy to a full-service bakery and food court. I was particularly impressed by the fish section. Unlike typical grocery stores, El Super will fry up any fish you select for you on the spot. This is a game-changer if you don't want to deal with the hassle and smell of frying fish at home. The tilapia I got was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with no fishy flavor. They'll fry up fillets as well as whole fish - just be aware that they don't remove the heads or tails if you go with the whole fish option. The fish section at El Super is truly impressive - they have a huge variety of fresh seafood options, from whole fish to fillets and beyond. As someone used to the traditional Asian grocery experience of picking a live fish and having it prepared, I was initially a bit thrown off by the process at El Super. Rather than selecting a live fish, you choose the pre-packaged fish you want from the refrigerated cases. You then take the fish to the counter and they give you a slip with the price. From there, you have to go back up to the front registers to pay for the fish before returning to the counter to have it fried. At first, this extra step threw me for a loop, as I'm used to a more streamlined process. But once I got the hang of it, I appreciated the efficiency. The staff were very friendly and helpful in guiding me through the system. When I returned to the fish counter after paying, they immediately got to work frying up my tilapia. I watched in amazement as they carefully dropped the whole fish into the hot oil, frying it to crispy perfection without a hint of greasiness. The transformation from raw fish to delectable fried dish was really impressive. The end result was absolutely worth the extra step. The tilapia was cooked to absolute perfection - the outside was a beautiful golden brown and the meat inside was moist and flavorful, with no trace of that unpleasant fishy taste. I also really appreciated that they were willing to fry up other seafood items beyond just the pre-packaged fish, like calamari and shrimp. That expanded the possibilities for my fried seafood feast. Overall, while the process took a bit more navigating than I expected, the quality of the fried fish at El Super more than made up for it. I'll definitely be back to take advantage of this awesome service again! They fry fish at the Gateway location and Zaragoza, though I'm not sure if other locations do it as well. -TODOELPASO 10501 Gateway Blvd W # 600, El Paso, TX 79925 703 N Zaragoza Rd, El Paso, TX 79907

On Fridays, twelve oysters for $12 -- that is hard to beat. The seafood department is by far the best in El Paso, with beautiful fresh Chilean sea bass and salmon. A true paradise for at-home chefs like me. Another great "Friday Deals" promotion, typically includes discounted large pizzas for Amazon Prime members -- often around $8-$12 depending on the topping. This makes the store feel almost like a gourmet happy hour destination!!! The store is also impeccably clean, well organized, and the perfect destination whether you love cooking or are preparing a dinner party. Yes, prices can feel a little "Whole Paycheck," but the quality is consistently outstanding. What really elevates the experience is the customer service. Staff members are knowledgeable, friendly and attentive, especially Iker in the seafood section, who consistently provides excellent recommendations and service.

"What a Neat Little Store!" is perhaps the thought you never expect to have about a Wal-Mart, but…read morethat is exactly the first impression this store gave me. It was reminiscent of the neighborhood H-E-B's that I love and are available everywhere in Texas except El Paso. For the uninitiated, this is primarily a grocery store, so don't expect to find everything you expect from Wal-Mart. I was very impressed by the fact that I was able to complete a shopping trip to a Wal-Mart in about 20 minutes. Additionally, and this is obviously seasonal, there was a girl scout cookie table outside, which gives the store extra points. I really, REALLY hope this store doesn't get ruined by overcrowding as Wal-Marts around these places often are. I don't know how long this store has been open, but it is still quite clean, so let's keep it that way, El Paso.

I walked by the hot foods area and I did see a bunch of flies flying around the food, yuck. They have everything you would find at a big chained grocery store but for less of a price. We bought a package of chicken breast for $3, so that was pretty good. The cashier was friendly.

Lately, I've been seeking out a caffeine fix on campus, and it hasn't make any difference if it's fresh brewed or day(s) old, the energy supplied keeps me going throughout the busy day (and sometimes it is a very long day!). In other words, I'll find a pot of the black elixir somewhere and guzzle it down, often cut with fat-free milk from the cafeteria, on the rocks. (Which reminds me of my next likely purchase: ice cube trays.) When I do find that elusive liquid stimulant, I always return to that source with a fresh bag of ground coffee from Big 8--I'm not the 'use & forget' guy, I will remember to replenish. Not only do I have greater peace of mind, but I may need to cp,e back for coffee in the future. Unfortunately, as I age, my mental facilities seem to require the java start. It became viciously known--I was seemingly aimlessly wandering the aisles when manager Brenda came to the rescue.

I was pleasantly surprised with the selection available. Sadly the pricing reflects the fact that you're in El Paso. Nearly double what you'd pay at a Chinese market. So that stinks. It beggars can't be choosers. Some of the items didn't look too fresh and it was a little dusty in some spots. So not a lot of rotation of products. But overall was happy to grab some dumplings and egg rolls!

Having just returned from Japan, walking through the store brought back a lot of great memories. It has that familiar atmosphere, with a wonderful selection of imported products that can be difficult to find elsewhere in the area. The store carries an impressive variety of Korean and Japanese ingredients, snacks, frozen foods, beverages, and fresh produce. Their prepared food section is also worth a visit. The Korean dumplings are outstanding, especially the glass noodle dumplings, which are among my favorites. They also offer delicious japchae, kimchi jjigae, and many other ready-to-enjoy Korean specialties. The store recently came under new management, so unfortunately the 10% military discount is no longer available. Some imported items are definitely on the expensive side, but that is to be expected with specialty products shipped from overseas. Overall, I still find the pricing to be fair, particularly considering the quality, authenticity, and selection. What truly keeps me coming back is the customer service. Marianna and Beth are always welcoming, friendly, and incredibly helpful. They take the time to answer questions, recommend products, and make every visit enjoyable. So, If you're looking for authentic Korean or Japanese ingredients, prepared meals, or simply want to experience a taste of East Asia, Arirang is absolutely worth a visit!!!

Heavy on Korean options, but they also have some Japanese, Indonesian and other offerings. There are tea and snack sections too. And a good rice selection - multiple varieties of Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Thai and more. Service is always quick and efficient.
