I heard they were a very good meat market, but I was even more excited when I learned that they also have restaurant inside the store. I am such a food whore. At any rate, for breakfast, I ordered the "Huevos a la Mexicana" with a side a corn tortillas. The Mexican scramble came with chopped serrano peppers, onions, and tomatoes, not to mention a side of beans and rice for $13.49 plus tax. The scramble also comes topped with a couple of slices of Mexican Panels Cheese. I did like that! The eggs were well scrambled with all the ingredients and well seasoned. They definitely did not hold back on any of the ingredients, especially the fresh hot peppers. As a results, the scrambled a good heat, just the way my father would of liked it. I liked it, too. Both the rice and beans were very good. The beans were fantastic and the rice was well prepared and cooked to the right texture, but they could of used a little more seasoning. I used the locally made corn tortillas to make breakfast tacos with the scramble and the tasty hot sauce they offered. Every body was super friendly at this hybrid meat market and eatery. Did I mention they have a meat counter here, too? It's a cool little hidden gem in El Cajon.

I came in here last week because I needed two onions and didn't want to stand in a long line at food 4 less just for that . So I said I'd give them a try and see if they treated their customers better . To my surprise I was greeted with friendly And helpful faces . The complete opposite of how I was treated 2 years ago here . I gotta say their chips and Guacamole are absolutely delicious . Best I've had from a Mexican market . When I came back today for more I was helped out by a lovely young lady . She answered all my questions and helped me pick out a good meat . We got to talking and she told me she and her family are the new owners and they've owned the place for a year now . Because I haven't been here in years I had no idea how awesome this place is . I plan on Shopping here weekly now that they ROCK !!

It sounded good but we also weren't really feeling like going "out" and something that could be delivered or that we could pick up seemed like the better play. All the typical poke places showed up when we searched but none of them really sold us. Well, good thing I remembered that Valley Farm's poke game is strong... really strong. Believe me, I know that those of you who don't know Valley Farm will likely say "really?" when I detail that this sleepy little Spring Valley market kicks out poke as good as anywhere else in SD, but it's true. It's a sleeper of a choice but the quality and price will make you a fan, trust me.

Valley Farms Market is one of San Diego's hidden gems. From the moment you walk in, you can feel…read morethe difference. The store is clean, beautifully organized, and filled with high-quality products you don't always find at larger chain grocery stores. What I love most is their fresh selection, especially the produce, specialty items, and unique gourmet finds. Everything looks vibrant and carefully displayed. You can tell they take pride in what they offer. They also have a full butcher shop with everything you could desire. The selection is impressive, and it's wonderful knowing you can get high-quality cuts prepared fresh right there in the store. It adds such a personalized, old-fashioned market feel that you just don't see everywhere anymore. Another favorite of mine is their fresh-pressed cold juice blends, which I absolutely love. They taste incredibly fresh, and you can truly tell the difference in quality. It's such a treat to grab one while shopping. The staff has always been friendly, helpful, and welcoming. It truly feels like a neighborhood market where customer service still matters. Whether I am picking up everyday essentials or something special for a gathering, I know I will find something wonderful here. If you appreciate quality, variety, and a pleasant shopping experience, Valley Farms Market is definitely worth a visit. I always leave happy!

I spent $400 here just the other day and even received a follow up email asking about the service. What I do mind is the consistently unfriendly, borderline rude staff. Every visit feels rushed, as if the goal is simply to complete the transaction and move you out the door as quickly as possible. I'm not political, and I have no interest in political commentary from a business where I pay a premium for steaks, regardless of whether it comes from social media or AI generated content. Especially at a time when it is difficult to escape the political divide, this is unnecessary for a business of this type. There are plenty of other ways to be catchy, quirky, and funny without going down that path. I also know for a fact that I can find equal quality meat online, potentially for less money, without the poor customer experience. For those reasons, I will not be shopping here again. Happy New Year, everyone.

The basil pesto was also really yummy, I added a little lemon to it because I love a little more citrus in mine and it really made all the flavors pop.
