Today was not the day I worked so hard all day decided to splurge and get some arrachera( flap meat). If you know this meat its expensive 13.99 a lb but its so good usually. Well today they ripped me off gave me all the meat with nothing but the fat on it. What a way to ruin someone's day i paid over 35.00 for meat that wasn't even edible. read more

Apple Tree Market - Grocery Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Small neighborhood market but seems to have all your essential needs. I only shop here for convenience...the produce can at times be expensive and the quality can be hit or miss. Parking lot always seems packed specially on weekends. Carnicería has good selection of meats, poultry, and cheeses. Friendly service is also hit or miss. read more

Had a solid, straightforward experience at this Apple Tree location. Despite the business on a weekday, we found a space in the parking lot. There was a small line at the butcher's shop, but I grabbed a number and was helped promptly. The butcher was friendly. Checkout was also prompt. Overall, a good experience, but I prefer their nearby larger location on Broadway. read more

I have no idea where to even start , there is too many issues and things wrong with this place as well as the workers . Their produce is always moldy , flies are always around the meat and cheese , the queso is always ALWAYS funky tasting , the butchers never ever change their gloves or wear hairnets especially the cashier they have behind the glass Everytime I would get meat and queso there was always a hair or something wrong with it and come to find out , they don't wash the accessories used to hold the food in. Once you bring these issues up to the person in charge at the time nothing is done. Environment is so disgusting ! A FAT ZERO STARS IF I COULD read more

The meat here is absolutely hands down the best in town! Won't go anywhere else ! They have 2 locations now.

I came to the store to buy meat because most of the time it's pretty good at a reasonable price. When I went to the meat section,I saw what I wanted but the butcher decided to pull a trick on me and went underneath to the shit he had stacked away. I complained that I wanted ones ones at the top. He obviously got mad and tore the bag and through his embarrassment acted innocent,fucking jerk. He started to yell at me. I told him that I said to this piece of shit that it's not free and gave him the customer is always right crap. You have to be watching these ass wipes, they are always trying to rip you off. I usually take what they give me and put it behind a shelf and come back and get what I wanted the first time. Because I know that they will give their trash to someone else. Take this as a warning Apple Worm. read more

first time there looks nice and neat but not legit. garlic has a sign that says "product of united states" but lables on garlic says "product of china". i showed it to employee that was in vegetable area and he just shrugged and mumbled "everything made in china" like it was ok to advertise fraudulently, no big deal and he walked away. that's criminal. then my wife was paying for some tomatoes and the big round old nasty grouch female had a nasty unfriendly attitude, no eye contact, no greeting and no words but got angry when asked the total again. never going back. if they scam on garlic then they scan on anything read more

Best place for any meat ! Great selection and everything is always fresh! The Butchers are the best in SD! I cannot rave enough about their customer service! Always polite and professional, not to mention how quick they are in helping customers! read more

If you want to enter a pit if decay this is your place. This place has the worst service ever. Incompetent and rude "carniceros". Overall this store is horrible. Do not shop here. read more

Better off going to the other apple tree. The butcher at this one has a chip on his shoulder... will not let you pick out your own steaks, says you get what you get. I can understand this if steaks were already pre-packaged, but when they're in the display window, why would someone pay for one that was cut horribly and looks like it's already been gnawed on by an alley dog? Pretty ridiculous. read more

Hello Apple Tree I want to give thanks to Rosa and all those that help keep Apple Tree what it is. I must say that when I entered this market it was well kept and clean. That really say alot about a market. So good job guys I'll be coming back soon read more

Poppa raised a carnivore and Apple tree continues to make poppa proud with their arecherra preparada. It's flank steak that's already prepared for you to make carne asada. I go here because it's in the hood and I love the way the meat tastes. I usually buy way too much and eat probably a pound of it while I'm cooking ....don't judge! They also have queso fresco and other Mexi quesos you NEED to go with your carne asada....well at least I NEED it. Tortillas are always fresh and sometimes warm depending on what time you get there. I really don't go for much more than meat, cheese and torillas but what else would you expect from a carnivore! If you're in the hood and need some meat pick some up and ask them ro prepare it for you they will have it ready pretty quickly. It's usually about 5.99 a pound unless it's on sale. Don't forget to make me a taco! read more

Excellent meat counter, well stocked produce, helpful staff. Overall a great neighborhood grocery store.

I like this place for prepared Carne Asada ready to throw on the grill and same for the chicken and would have given them a 5 had it not been for my last few visits. When you visit a butcher you are doing so to select your cut otherwise you would just pick up any pre packaged pack and call it a day. The butchers there sell you what they want and get annoyed if you make requests about the cut or piece which defeats the purpose or going to a butcher. The back talk is uncomfortable. Also in my last visit I noticed the store was PACKED! This place is Tiny, smaller than some 7-11s yet I counted 34 people in there at one time. It was clear that they were ignoring Covid safety protocol and packing everyone in for sales. There was social distancing tape outside to form a line but the staff member asked everyone to just enter. I was uncomfortable with the potential exposure and number of people still being allowed in at the same time so I left. read more

Apple Tree Market - Carne asada and Marinated Chicken from Apple Tree. So good! - Grocery Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I think the cashier there Refugio, hates the owner. She has taken upon herself to make sure people don't shop there with her rude behavior. Makes wonder for a minute what her deal is and why she gets away with her nasty attitude. read more

This is hands down the best place that has the best carne asada meat in Southern California trust me I live in Orange County And I always order a box of shoulder clod meat to grill for my birthday carne asada party and everyone loves it they always prepare my meat very well and I appreciate their service wish they were closer! read more

Super clean! Nice employees, fresh meat and veggies. Best bang for your buck. I bought sooo much meat here and spent less than $60 plus I also bought a few other things here as well. This is my new go-to store read more

Hair in the sauce. Not one or two, nope. Lots of hair in their sauce. I also bought chicken salad that had gone bad and the beans with chorizo that are usually good didn't taste it this time around. Maybe they had a bad week? Not sure what's happening but I can't shop here anymore. Hair in the sauce? Still grossed out. read more

They have a pretty good selection of meat. The marinated chicken and steak are perfect for carne asada. If you have any questions regarding a certain cut or which meat you need for a specific dish, the butchers are pretty helpful. read more

Another favorite market in Chula Vista to pick up everything you need for your fresh salsa's and Mexican food. They are a small neighborhood market that has a small produce area, a meat counter, and an extensive tortilla area and pan dulce. They also have a small grocery area but like most smaller market the prices aren't as competitive as the larger chains. But that isn't why you come here. Most of the time I find all the ingredients I need for my fresh salsa's that I might not find at Ralphs. Not to mention the better brands of tortillas and cheeses as well as good prices on prepared meats for a carne or pollo asada. So if you're in the hood, this is a good place to check out. read more

I purchased chicken but I wanted leg and tight together, they sell it with skin, I did feel well today to be cleaning all chicken so I asked the butcher to clean it for me ( I thought they didn't have that service) he responded with smile in his face " yeah it is my pleasure" that's what I called " great customer service" read more

Best carne asada is THE COUNTRY!! Yea, I said it. NO JOKE. Better than all of california and definitely better than new york, florida, texas, and arizona. My mom is a true old fashioned home cookin mexican woman and I told HER about Apple Tree. Now, she wont buy her carne anywhere else. Apple Tree is top choice. read more

The best marinated carne asada for grilling is found here. Once you try it, I can assure you that you will never have tastier carne asada. This is a place of legend in the community in South San Diego. read more

A great spot if you're in the need for meet. They have specials at times that are at a great price, and the meat is always fresh and great. My fiancé and I live in Otay Ranch area and we drive here once every two weeks to stock up on meat and some veggies. If you're planning on grilling, I'd recommended coming here first for your needs. read more

I ordered Applebee's this evening for a burger and fries and a salad an Asian salad. The burger was not flavorful it was very bland and my husband didn't even eat half of it. My Asian salad was terrible. It hardly had any cheese in it it had more tomatoes than anything else. The dressing was disgusting it was very spicy and was not an Asian vinaigrette like they had said it was. I spent $40 on a meal which I would've rather just had toast and eggs from my own house I ended up throwing out my salad I will never order online from Applebee's again. read more

Awesome place to go grocery shopping. Fresh meat and produce daily.

Good grocery store, their chicken and meat are fresh. I gave them three stars because the idiots that make the tortillas. There was a 7-8 people line waiting for tortillas that were very slowly being made(not the issue), but people are waiting for packets being taken as soon as they come out and these people were allowing customers to get 3-4 packs at the time. In my opinion they should have two lines or make people get in line again after one packet because seriously I stood in that line for close to 30 minutes. I would have left but my dad was craving tortillas but never buying them here again. read more

This place has been around forever! Since I was little. Used to be a 7-11 and if I remember correctly a library too. Great place for meats and produce. Everything else is pretty pricy. The staff is super freindly! Would recommend this place if u want some good carne asada or chicken and such. read more

Very nice place for groceries and poultry food , clean and order the fruits and vegetables, nice cashiers

Prices are pretty reasonable. They have good ribs, pastries, fruit etc. There prices are average. Tend to have good sales on eggs however a concern we've had are not in closed refrigerator area like u would see in a typical grocery store. They have home made tortillas that are very excellent quality. If u leave them out over night they stay soft. #Delicious read more

LOVEEEEEEE Clean and great customer service !!! Their meat is the best and their ceviche bomb !!!

The true corner store Back in elementary school, I had a Mexican-American friend who lived down the street from this little market near Our Lady of Guadalupe. His parents always referred to it as "the corner store." They would buy various Mexican products and food that it carried because the major grocery stores did not. I have not been to that part of town in 15 years, but I am glad to know that the market is still in business and doing well. read more

The store on Broadway was very nasty and had bugs in the meat area. The customer service was horrible. I am African American and felt like I was being watched since I first walked in the store. The store had no store policies posted. I try to ask for a corporate number but would not give it me. read more
