Personally, am a big fan of flavor and spice. So, bought a package of jalapeño cheddar, chipotle, bacon bratwurst and a smoked sausage. The jalapeño cheddar is really good just be forewarned that it is spicy jalapeño. Also, same with the chipotle sausage is not for the faint of heart. The bacon bratwurst was good, the flavor of bacon came through. The smoked sausage also had a nice smokiness to it. All said and done, can't wait to return to experience the others I didn't get to try! Most sausages are frozen and makes it easier to travel and keep longer if not ready to use.

First time stopping by on a recommendation for breakfast burritos from a lifelong El Paso resident…read more Upon entering, the store was clean and produce appeared quite fresh! I took a lap around the store and will definitely be back for some salsas and tortillas. The burritos are build-your-own style, and I got brisket, beans, potatoes, cilantro, onions, and cheese. They LOADED it up - lots of meat and toppings all around and was $7.99. I also got an apple fritter from the bakery section. Everything was delicious and fresh. Will definitely be back for a burrito fix!

From a…read morepanaderia selling bolillos, conchas, tres leches, and so much more, to the meat center selling you seasonedly cooked meat to-go you're good to go. I enjoy coming here for their freshly made tortillas, in-house brand tortilla chips, brisket, queso, and the list goes on. Prices are very fair and you can get a solid bang for your buck. They are a typical grocery store but I try to only but their hot and cold stuff here. I've noticed name brand items can be a tad pricier time to time. I really enjoy their burritos and aguas frescas. My fiance loves their salsas so take a lap (or three) around the store.

This place was a bit out of my way but I was craving carnitas. Once again my bf pulled thru and…read moreshared another secret spot of his. I have always gone to Quality Food mart for my carnitas. This review is solely on the carnitas and chicharrones themselves as I didn't try other stuff. They make several batches throughout the day I'm told and it's the freshness that comes out in the end product. They were golden brown and soft inside. So flavorful and delicious. The red chile de árbol salsa was hot and shockful of flavor. The chicharrones we got were the ones with the meat still attached to them. Yummy!. This is just a market with a hot food section so we ate at home. But I can tell you I will be driving out of my way for my carnitas from now on. I forgot to take a picture of how they came before I shredded them but they do come in chunks.

You have to go early in order to get the fresh corn tortillas because once they are sold out for the day they are gone! They typically don't answer the phone, but I was able to finally get them on Saturday morning. I like that they have the long elongated tortillas for flautas. I think they typically use the yellow corn because the tortillas have a yellow tinge. They are delicious and fresh.

They have already given us culinary gold-medeal winner Marc Spelman (currently lead chef at the world headquaters Helen of Troy here in El Paso) and team. What a pleasure it is to promote & support this extremely effective program for all us foodies! At $15 pp, the specified Thursday luncheons are a bargain. It is always multi-course, and, did I mention, extremely delicious as well as filling? However, you must call in to reserve seating--eating the actual meal is actually the tip of the iceberg (Eyberg?!) because a huge amount of prep goes into it, expecially buying the correct amount of fresh products, and the key is to try to balance the expenses with the output. But I've been fortunate so far--reserving well ahead is muy importante! The next luncheon is tentatively set for 28MAR2013, (11:30), menu not yet confirmed. Regardless, give Chef Jackie or Sean a call (915.434.7180) to reserve your place at this superb meal. Don't wait, don't miss out!
