I want an Aldi! Can we have an Aldi? They have Aldi in Florida and they have them in California and I just found out they're opening up in Phoenix several locations. If you happen to be visiting and you see this store, it is so much fun. It's almost like a dollar store meets a grocery store needs a thrift store but with newer items. They have tons of produce, dairy, nuts, organic items and so much more. It's like going on a treasure hunt, because you never know what you're going to find! I have purchased a sports bar us in here; unusual trail mixes, pasta and tomato paste in tubes from Italy, and we even bought car seat covers. So if you ever see an Aldi in your travels or in your neighborhood, Give it a go! You never know what you're going to find and you might just fall in love like I did with this ever-changing store. read more

The rating is based on my overall experience with the store and it's prices, not the aggressive crackpot -- the guy who set up shop in front of the store ostensibly to collect signatures -- panhandling your customers. read more

I always find what I need. The produce section always seems to be taken care of. There's always several employees stocking items.

I love Aldi, love the produce and the aisle of shame is always fun. Their employees are friendly and helpful. My cashier today, Alfonso, I believe was kind, polite and accommodating to every guest he interacted with. If I had an open position, I'd have stolen him away read more

What's up with the depressing cashiers? Also, OPEN UP MORE CASH REGISTERS!! I've seen the line almost backed up to the opposite side of the registers.. only reason I keep going back is because of the low prices. read more

What's up with the cashiers? Where do they hire these people? Do they intentionally hire people with the least common sense and tell them to do their worst? Can't we all just be cool to each other during this quarantine? Why is my review only questions? read more

We just moved to the area and we're not sure how to properly rate this place since maybe that's just how it is here and we're not used to it. You need a quarter to use the carts and they will not bag your groceries nor offer bags. You must bring your own. Not a big deal but just not used to it. The food prices are cheap but mostly generic brand items. They have the basics, but not a huge variety of items like a typical vons/ralphs. Parking is plentiful. Usually there's only a couple of workers there. We'll probably drive a little further and go to vons in the future unless we need something quick and specific read more

Aldi is coming to Mira Mesa - outstanding news for the community. We have been shopping other Aldi stores for years and this will be so much closer. read more

What a joke of place! I can't believe there's no self checkout...def wish I didn't drive over here. Wasted my lunch break driving to see these jokers. Save yourself time and go to vons or anywhere else read more

I went to Aldi's in Mira Mesa for a quickly buy a head of Cabbage. The store didn't have cabbage! I even asked a store clerk who stated that they didn't have any cabbage. This is the second time I've left Aldi's empty handed: the other time was for tomatoes. They didn't have it then! For a company that is based in Europe not to have cabbage is weird. Every time I went shopping at Migros in Bern (Switzerland) when I worked there, they had everything I wanted. C'mon, man! So I left Aldi's and went to Grocery Outlet. They had cabbage to purchase, and I picked up a couple of other items on a whim. Well, my wife and her best friend and neighbor love Aldi's. So my review will fall on deaf ears. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. I heard that it was a great bargain grocery store and so when I found out they had one in Mira Mesa I had to see it. Plenty of parking in a shopping center with other businesses and a gas station. The place is large.. like a target. If you need a shopping cart you put 25cents in and it unlocks from the other carts. Slightly inconvenient but for organization and inventory purposes I totally get it. Spacious shopping isles so you don't need to worry about waiting on people to move out of your way. And the best part!!- quality clean fresh groceries that are SUPER affordable. I mean like the best quality I've seen in a bargain grocery store. Things from fruits and veggies, to meats and dairy, and even house hold and decor items are a great deal here. Of course you probably won't find every single thing you might need here but it's definitely worth checking out. Yes you bag your own groceries and the cashiers get to sit down. So what... I'm not lazy and I know how hard it is to stand in one spot all day. Good on them! I will definitely be back read more

I love this Aldi! YES! They borrow a quarter in your cart while you shop. YES! You bag your own groceries. YES! The cashiers are sitting and YES they will be ringing you up quickly.... This is the Aldi way! I grew up with Aldi in Chicago and it has only gotten better! Low prices. Big aisles for lots of shopping space. Huge variety. Cheap wine. Good selection of cheese. Frozen and fresh foods! The "Aldi Finds" section is great. I just love it here! Think about ALL the savings you can have if you shop here! read more

Aldi has excellent prices and good quality food/ groceries. Most of it is the generic version of well known brands. Store or roomy and we'll laid out. Staff are nice read more

Is it me or does this Aldi seem a little but larger then the other Aldi store? Anywho You can't go wrong here it's got all the basic I need , then sometimes you come in here and find some bonus Aldi finds that are there weekly items that are first come first serve , if you like it get or it might not be there tomorrow . I shop here often , and my only flaw about all Aldi location is there is never enough cashiers ! The lines were super long ! read more

Senior and disabled unfriendly! How is this Legal? I have a disabled member in my family who can't shop here on their own because of these 3 reasons. Many seniors have the same issue. 1) How do you bag your own groceries while holding a cane or your cart as a walker? 2) No carry out service. Many seniors/disabled people need assistance loading heavy stuff into their car, let alone pushing the cart on the sloped parking lot. Push that cart granny while in your wheel chair! 3) Seniors and disabled people often use a cart as a walker. There aren't any carts in the lot to grab. And when done, you have to haul it back to the store and walk on your own. Sounds like a lawsuit. ADA! read more

Good location - Yes Good Prices - Yes Bad Customer Service - YES, YES, YES! I soooo wanted to love this store. Perfect location near my home and on the way home from work. I don't mind the cart situation, bagging my own groceries. I would not shop here for all my groceries, but it has good basic items at great prices. Have been there 5 times now and every time there is just ONE cashier and a very long line. Absolutely ridiculous, especially when you are only getting a few items. I also agree with other reviewers that mention lack of customer service and poor attitudes with the cashiers. Management must not care or there is a lack of on-site management. Absolutely horrible system for checkout. I will not be back and I predict Aldi will not last at this location. I hope for a Trader Joe's in the future. read more

I know what you're thinking, "who reviews a grocery store???" But incompetence is high at every level here and people must know. Aldi occasionally has meats on sale. The Limit is always 2 but the customers at this location buy more than 2 by making several trips causing the store to run out. The employees know this but don't do anything to stop it. Maybe it's because Mira Mesa is not a good neighborhood that they allow this to happen, but they shouldn't. Next, they tell customers that they'll get another shipment the next day, but they actually don't. Overall 3 wasted trips for some discounted meat. Having to drive into Mira Mesa and deal with peasants is bad enough. Aldi makes it even worse. read more

Super cheap items, store is clean, employees are nice. Think of this as a Food for Less Trader Joe's version. You have to insert a quarter to get a cart and when you are done and return the cart you get your quarter back. You also have to bag your own groceries. So keep all of that in mind before you go in. Bring your bags and a quarter and ready to find super cheap produce, snacks, breads, everything is cheap actually. read more

I come Aldi At weekly basis. From my shopping experience, compared with other local grocery stores, Aldi deserves a five star-- fresh food at a reasonable price (much lower than other stores), very friendly and helpful customer services & a clean and convenient place. read more

QUICK TIP: Bring a quarter to unlock the shopping carts! The best bargain grocery store I've ever been to! The place is clean, bright, well-stocked, and the selection is a great mixture of non-brand and brand items. Also, their produce selection is so cheap and high quality, there's really no complaints. I recently came here to buy mangos, strawberries, and cuties and it was so CHEAP. 2 boxes of strawberries were like $3-4, mangoes were about $0.50, and cuties were around $3 each bag. The fruits were really sweet and not discolored, moldy, or deformed in any way. It really shocks me at how cheap it is. After I discovered Aldi, I rarely go to other grocery stores. read more

Great location. Great prices, good produce and other products. Staff was always friendly. The new self checkout takes a bit to get used to (to get as quick as the staff) but it makes checkout even smoother. The still have regular checkout too. read more

Just another grocery store providing low costs. Simple and only a couple of long aisles. Let me tell you though... the customer service from the cashiers are awkward and uncomfortable. They are literally sitting down. The cashier named Eddy was extremely fast and rushed the customers in front of us and myself and the customers after us. By the time the customer in front of us took her card back and her receipt was printed, my items were rung up and she was awkwardly trying to shove her receipt and card back into her wallet. I was patiently waiting for her to gather her things but Eddy sat there waiting for me to insert my card and for the receipt to be printed. I was standing there in disbelief at how uncomfortable being there was. My boyfriend and I could only laugh it off. I just know I need to bring my A Game the next time I go there and be more ready for a fast check out. NO SLACKING! GO GO GO!!! read more

of all grocery chains. Super affordable and decent selection. Would love if you guys put a store in PB

Cashier say this line is closed and go to another line. After I lined up on the other lane, he reopened his line again reasoning the manager told him to do so. Cheap stuff, cheap service read more

Stopped in the night before the grand opening. They're already open. I'm hoping they'll get more of the German stuff in that they sell at the San Marcos store. Food prices are reasonable and competitive. For the grand opening and today, the quarters are already in the carts but after tomorrow, bring a quarter to access a shopping cart. read more

ALDI - Store front - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - San Diego, California

Meh- not impressed. Limited options- somethings were lower than normal price but were comparable to Grocery Outlet. I only came in here for solid tuna in cans. Store was clean and organized. Nothing wrong there just not blow away. read more

The products aren't bad, season stuff is cool. The staff is awful. I get that it's a "get in, get out" but damn. The lady checking me out border line demanded that I insert my card while she was still scanning! The card was charged and then asked for my ID for some beer I had purchased? Um excuse me NO. Not the way to do business also pretty sure that's illegal.. no costumer service at all, will charge you before finished scanning, throwing all your fragile produce in your cart. Ya not coming back for sure, I have honestly had enough. read more

Very disappointed in Aldi! They have good quality food and general grocery but the service is definitely substandard! This is the only store I know where they won't bag your groceries. Even Grocery Outlet bags your groceries and is a little better on price with the same quality and Grocery Outlet's service is far above Aldi's. The checkers go so fast they have made mistakes, not a lot but on little things like charging for 5 mangoes when I really only got 4 no big deal but it shows carelessness. I expected more from a German store :( Oh well, I guess I'll be shopping at Grocery Outlet, Trader Joes, and Sprouts. Sorry Aldi, I had such high hopes, at least you could bag groceries. read more

Love the staff here!!! My hubby & I shop here every week sometimes for a couple items or for a full cart of groceries. Personally, we've never had problems with any of the employees here. We always leave feeling satisfied after each visit. There is one particular employee whom we always see who is always especially helpful!! Never caught his name, but he usually works in the morning shift either stocking inventory or working the register. The next time I see him, I'll have to get his name so he can be properly commended for his excellent service!! As for the merch at this store, most things seem reasonably priced. We especially love the prices of the fresh produce here. Avocados are our go to here!!!! Plus, we've recently started eating more plant-based proteins and they have a nice selection here in the frozen section. Stop by to see for yourself! Disclaimer: If you have never shopped at an Aldi store before, you need a quarter to get a shopping cart. They do not have hand baskets here. Most people bring a shopping bag and load their groceries to bring up to the check out lanes or you can just grab an empty box on the shelves or in the big wire bins if they have them out during your visit. You also have to bag your own groceries which is not a big deal. Food 4 Less has a similar policy unless they have extra workers to bag items for you which is rare. read more

I love this chain. They are efficient, consumer friendly and great prices. I don't need 75+ cereal choices, a few will do it. I can be in and out in less than 20 minutes. I don't mind bagging my own groceries and bringing back the shopping cart if it means lower prices. Tired of spending $5 on two peppers elsewhere! Highly recommend this grocery food chain and hope to see one in Clairemont soon! read more

Would like this store more if that had stocked more of the stuff they had for sale. They always run out any meat that's on sale for the week the day AFTER it starts. read more

Almost all of the staff here are very friendly,and really seem like they want to help you. I had the experience of one stocking clerk who was a little rude when I had the freezer door open for what he thought was too long. I was searching for Frozen Yogurt, but couldn't find any. Sometimes it gets pushed into the back. He offered no assistance only to say whatever they had was out. I still give 5 stars because the rest of the crew is always warm and friendly. read more

Aldi is a pleasant grocery store experience. It has come a long way since I first shopped in an Aldi 20 years ago in Pennsylvania. It is much like the local grocery stores we like in Europe -- like Coop in Italy. Product selection is very limited, but the prices tend to be good -- especially if you shop the weekly ad. This wad my first time to the recently-opened Mira Mesa location. The attraction this week was 69 cents for a dozen eggs. I don't travel out of my way for an Aldi, but this one was on my way to other stores on Mira Mesa. Oh ... be prepared to bag you own purchase. read more

Bought a pack of spring mix salads yesterday and some of it is already bad. I refrigerated the package as soon as I got them back to my work about 5 mins away so they didn't sit out for long. Appears these salads are at the tail end of their expiration date so def wouldn't be buying salads there again. I usually get my salads at Costco, which lasts a good 4-5 days in the fridge. read more

See all

Can i get 110 stars? I loooove Aldi's and I'm so happy I found one near work. They have an amazing cheese selection, they have their "totally free" line of antibontic free gram raised meat (along with cheaper cuts), banana are like .49 cents, eggs are .99 cents?! And winking owl wine- their answer to Two Buck Chuck- i usually get minim 3 bottles. I stock up on almonds and nuts for cheap here, bread has always been good. They have some organic fruit but a large selection of fruit and veggies none the less. And don't get me started on the joy of digging around in their random homeware area. Staff is always friendly, and this particular location is clean, has wide isles, and is laid out well. Lo read more

Great store, enjoyed walking around the store, some great bargains.. will go back. Like their bags.

One of the specials advertised in their flyer, which started at 9:00 was gone before 12:30! This is the 2nd time this has happened (same product)! I'm convinced that they use advertised specials as enticement to shop there with no intention of having enough quantity. Since they never have enough workers to ask any questions, (restock?), I tried calling. The phone number is a corporate number with a recording using COVID as an excuse. If they cannot provide adequate inventory for their specials, even with the caveat of "as quantities last", they shouldn't advertise them!! read more

Very fast and efficient. Those complaining about the cart system and bagging their own items are lazy.

The prices are good. It's not a super-store. You can get the basics here. The area very much needed a market here. I recommend that, if you are elderly or handicap, someone goes with you. The carts are very huge and it can be a challenge to move around sometimes. (Take a quarter to check one out.) The bagging is an issue. (Or rather nonexistent.) The cashier will throw your items into one of the carts. Customer service is lacking as far as the cashiers are concerned. They seem to be mainly concerned with speeding you out. There is limited eye contact or affirmation. Go if you are strong, healthy and not likely to care about being disrespected. If you are in a wheelchair, etc, I would say have someone else go for you. read more

I like aldi but it's been really busy and the staff seem stressed and frustrated but Kim was amazing and helped me with a smile
