ALDI is so cool. I don't shop here weekly, but I've got a couple finds I'd like to share. First of all, it's usually an easy grab and go situation. The checkout is simple and fast and self-checkout is available. So, what I've found is that many of the products are from Europe - which means higher standards and less junk within your ingredients. The chocolate I've bought here is SO much better than our chocolate. Probably because they're from Germany or Italy. Yummy! Also, if you need items for your charcuterie board this is the place to fill up! There's a ton of wonderful cheeses from around the globe, various crackers etc to choose from as well as a good assortment of fruits. And they're priced unbelievably well! Check it out. read more

ALDI - Lol - Grocery Near Me - San Marcos, California

One of my newest favorite locations. This is very conveniently located at the corner of San Marcos Blvd and Rancho Santa Fe Rd. The staff is always very friendly, professional and efficient. It's organized well and very clean and keeps shelves stocked well. I also love that this is one of the few places that has self-check out (only open before 7 pm) I learned that they close it at 7 pm because there's a high rate of theft- so sad! Also have to say that Aldi is stepping up its game when it comes to variety and the quality. Their meat section now offers a decent selection and their produce is always fresh. I do also like the wider selection of cheeses and spreads. read more

The ease of getting in and out of this place is amazing. It's organized and everything is competitively priced. I feel like a winner leaving here compare to a Costco where I end up over buying and spending. Good food, great service and an overall relaxed vibe for shopping for groceries. I'll be back for sure. read more

Well stocked, a lot of different items to choose from, friendly staff. I love the international selections here. Everything from tamales to German sausages. The inventory is constantly changing and there is always something new to try. Prices are great. For the cost of two bags of groceries at a regular grocery store, I can fill up my whole cart here. Just be prepared with your quarter to liberate a shopping cart and don't forget to put as many bags as you need on the conveyor belt to purchase because you save money by bagging your own groceries. I wasn't for this at first but it sure is nice because only you know how to group things to unload them at home. The employees here are really nice. The store manager was super cheery and looks like she loves her job. The store was clean. Great job Aldi, I'm a fan! :) read more

New store!! So happy this location has finally opened! It was so clean and fully stocked. I noticed they had more items than I've seen at other aldis. What a great selection! There was a bunch of self checkout registers which I've never seen at aldi, that was a great touch. It will definitely help keep the lines moving quick. Aldi is a great place for affordable food! They have fresh produce, gluten free items, and snacks imported from Germany! They also have household items, and the best advent calendars! Very happy about this location! I hope it stays organized and clean. read more

Aldi had strawberries not in the fridge today but on shelves with onions. I'd give it a shot since they appeared to look good After washing them 3 full boxes of strawberries tasted old and sour. How can you guys sell this stuff? read more

Debbie was extremely rude, she should not be working in customer service if she does not have the patience. There was a customer who came in for the first time today, and was having trouble with the payment since it was for an insta cart. the cashier did not want to help her and didn't even try to understand what she was saying. the customer left crying. please treat the customers with respect , no matter if the line is long or not because at the end of the day the point is to give them good service. read more

Horrible customer service i bought several packages of chicken several of which were rotten upon opening. The date showed it was good for 3 more days. Would not advise going to this store if you value your health. read more

Welcome to the neighborhood! We waited while Aldi navigated a permit issue with the city of San Marcos! It was worth the wait! Been shopping at the Carlsbad location this store is better stocked and looks great ! They crush Albertsons in price with there store brands being national products in Aldi packaging. read more

The store is brand new, clean, and has an expansive selection. Best was the self checkouts! The negative reviews on this are only because it took forever to open - not because the location, service, or selection is poor. Sad those ratings exist. read more

It's just so dirty and disorganized, I don't enjoy shopping there. People say it's the same owners as Trader Joe's and if that's the case, Trader Joe's need they a** whooped for neglecting Aldi like this read more

Best choices and prices as they just opened with clean environment Best cheese and yogurts Fruits Breads read more

Love the prices. This new store is clean and orderly and the staff is helpful and friendly.

Allways great customer service store is super clean and employees super nice ,used to go to another market switched to ALDIs prices are very good read more

Very unfriendly cashier ( Debbie 0lder lady) never said hello/ty was rolling eyes because she thought my husband was taking too long putting items on the counter. I understand she was trying to unload merchandise into freezer but you should never make a customer feel like a nuisance. While the store was impeccable and I liked the products I will never shop there again. read more

This ALDI location is always clean and neat. The cash register employee-Danelle was extremely nice and helpful with explaining the quarter process of the carts and the bagging of your own groceries. She understood that this is a new experience with the bags and was super friendly! The bathrooms were nice and clean every time I come in! read more

It's hard to even describe this place. It has a feeling of being bare bones more like a very small town general store than a grocery store. The "lowered prices" are not that good and definitely not on level with a store like Winco, we had a hard time finding what we needed and their store brands were so beyond bad that we ended up having to throw almost everything away that was the Aldi brand. Our cats wouldn't even eat their cat food. Their store garlic bread was essentially tasteless overly processed bread soaked in oil with zero flavor, nobody could stomach it at a family dinner. Their French fried onions were just fried batter with no actual onions apparent, even their olives were shriveled and inedible. Zero chance I'll be returning. read more

In a world of expensive groceries this is an oasis. Cheap prices, good selection of organic food. Reminds me of a combination of winco and sprouts. It is located next to a highschool so certain hours of the day may be super busy with traffic. Store has a cool open layout. Overall this place is great. 4.5 stars read more

Very disappointed. Small store even smaller selection. No deals, everything costs about the same as Vons. Sad. Don't bother shopping there. Grocery outlet is much better. read more

I don't understand why the bad reviews. This place is great. I've found the best deals here, inside is brand new, excellent parking, and the best for last is their self checkout. No other store has better self checkout system. I absolutely love this place. read more
