Busy this morning. Waited in line for meat market. The number machine was empty so I had to watch…read morepeople leave to keep my place in line. Ten people later my turn. Asked for 3lbs ground beef. Showed me taco meat. No I need ground beef. I asked Butcher to help me choose from the prepackaged ground beef. Apparently foodsco does not ground their own. Only sell in prepackaged I told him I don't trust it fresh. Last two times it was taken home and no good. Smart this time got to car. Punched open pack of meet and it was no good. Smelled like rotten eggs got a refund. This is the third time within four months this has happened. From now on going to buy ground beef from Farmers Market in Gonzales. It was fresh and five dollars less than foodsco. At foodsco if you buy ground beef and the plastic on top is a tight balloon I bet it is rotten. Happened to me three times

I went through the checkout line as usual, and once I was given my total, I gently placed a $20…read morebill on the register where the cashier could easily pick it up. At no point did I throw the money, toss it at her, or behave in a rude or malicious manner. When the cashier, Andrea G., gave me my change, she placed it on the checkout belt. I had no issue with that. However, there were several coins included in my change, and before I had finished gathering all of it, she began placing another customer's groceries onto the same belt. I politely said, "Excuse me, my change is under there," because the other customer's groceries were being placed where my change was. Andrea responded, "It's over there," in a manner that I felt was unnecessarily dismissive and rude. At that point, I told her, "You're being extremely rude." I want to be very clear that I was respectful throughout the transaction. I did not throw money at her or treat her disrespectfully. My concern arose from the way my change was handled and the way I was spoken to when I tried to retrieve it.

As a long time shopper of Grocery Outlet I was ecstatic when they opened one up in Soledad…read more previously the nearest was a 45 min commute to Salinas. For those unfamiliar it's a store that may or may not have what you are looking for but if they do (bread, produce and alcohol aside) the prices are often far more reasonable than the grocery store. My approach when it's grocery time is to first stop at Grocery Outlet, get the items or brands you need that are available and address the delta at a nearby more costly grocery store where you get the remaining items. That combination ensures you are saving more each month as a result. For those things they do carry, the prices are often much less. And on occasion priced too good to be true, when that happens look carefully at the expiry. Even in those moments I am content buying a container of orange juice for half the price even if I know it will expire in two days. More often than not it will not last longer than that anyway. They often have some off the wall brands of things like ice cream but admittedly It was what introduced me to Brave Robot Blue berry pie ice cream and Ample Hills Gooey Butter Cake ice cream. Both absolute knocks out of the park and doubly so with them being $2.50 a container. You may have to scrutinize the price and product but after a while it's second nature and you will be hard pressed to save as much. I imagine this is exponentially better if you have a large family. Lastly, this location specifically, the owners recognize law enforcement and military personnel and will issue you a hard card that can be used for a $3.00 discount on a $35 bill every shopping visit. They also offer periodic receipt coupons for $5.00 on a specific amount. If you plan to shop there anyway it's just an added savings bonus. This may not be for everyone but I for one appreciate it and absolutely love having one 15 mins away. Thank you Grocery Outlet.

The store itself is spacious and clean! However the wine is…read morein disarray! I drove from Gonzales to go there instead of Salinas and I was dismayed at the wine section. I wanted a Pinot Noir and instead of it being grouped together it was all over the place! Some bottles mixed with Cabernet, Malbec and more. Out of the five stores in our area Seaside is most organized and the volume of sales speaks volumes. Marina comes in close then Salinas, haven't been in Prunedale for a while. Being in a region where we have many wineries they should be better!

I was excited about the chicharron taco because I've never seen that on a menu but the chicharrons were soft. I just assumed they would be fried and crunchy so that was my bad. My husband liked his hamburger and fries too. We also got a few snacks and drinks so it was a nice one stop shop.

Carnitas plate to go $16.30…read more The CARNITAS were DRY, SMALL, SHREDDED CRUMBS. Texture of dry shredded wheat cereal. Not what anyone would buy. Terrible. The corn tortillas were hot but stale like they've been out all day. The beans, rice, salad topped with pico and three slices of avocado were delicious. So were the red and green salsas. The main dish was a FAIL. I posted a picture of what was tossed into the garbage. Make sure you open your to go food to check for freshness. I trusted Santa Fe to provide quality out the door. A Mexican food place that doesn't sell quality Carnitas. The service was quick without a smile nor a hello. The employees were speaking Spanish. If you don't speak Spanish you can't work here. If you don't know English you can work here. The store was full of neatly stacked fruits and vegetables. Clean store.
