The service is nice but I feel the food is not as fresh and finding ingredients is not as easy…read more Also I have needed fresh veggies and it doesn't seem like they stock them that often. The cleanliness also isn't always up to par either.

Wow the guy talking mad shit about past reviewers has a great personality and is very clever, not…read more!! Check the dates of the past reviews smart ass . 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 !!

Fantastic variety, questionable food quality, and a lovely bakery and cooking area…read more As a foreigner to middle eastern food, I actually really loved this place a lot. I had thought I wouldn't find a good place in San Diego when I first moved here, but I gotta say I was impressed. The only thing keeping me from a 4/5 star review was the cashier person didn't seem like they knew what they were doing and plain grumpy, and the green vegetables do not look all that fresh. But I will be coming back in a week or two and I'm sure my impressions will boost this rating, see you soon!

The ladies at the food service are always so great. Amazing attitudes, and always so helpful.read more

They have a pretty good selection of Middle Eastern foods. They carry both cooked and regular…read moregrocery foods. The cooked foods smelled and looked wonderful but I did not purchase any. I was a little bummed that they didn't have ground lamb so I had to go somewhere else, but other than that, they had a pretty wide variety of meats and seafood. The cooked food prices looked very reasonable for the amount of food that came with the dishes. The employees were friendly and helped me locate the items I was looking for. It was pretty busy in there and a little bit hectic, but still a good experience.

A few weeks back I was hanging out with an old friend and as we started discussing lunch, poke came…read moreto mind. 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.

Parking 4/5 -Decent amount of spots in the market parking…read morelot Service 5/5 -Friendly and efficient staff Food 2/5 -Salmon poke, very mild seasoning, it tastes ok but nothing like other common flavors of poke. It just tasted like salmon coated in some kind of sesame oil. I still ate it with snacking seaweed but I would not buy again. -Hatch chile Caesar wrap, I liked that the wrap was soft and not soggy. Chicken was grilled and diced, lettuce was crunchy and hatch chile tasted grilled and notably cold, came with Caesar dressing on the side. There was nothing wrong with the ingredients but together it just made a very underwhelming wrap, I didn't really taste any flavor from the wrap even with the help of the dressing. I also would not buy again. Ambiance 5/5 -They had a lot of ready-to-eat food options, both hot and cold. Even though I didn't like what I got this time, I'm open to come back and try other things they have.

Such a great market! I'm amazed at the variety of items they carry, and their spices. Purchased…read moremany Middle Eastern spices and goodies, Turkish Delights were so good, bought three. Easy to find on a busy corner off El Cajon Blvd., has a small parking lot with plenty street parking. aisles are tight but their baskets fit easily. Entrance is from the parking lot not street facing. They take all major credit cards as cash.

Your customer service is trash. The attitude in your store is awful, especially the girl standing…read moreat the cashier. She's rude, moody, and makes customers feel like they're doing something wrong just by standing there to buy. No respect, no manners, no basic understanding of how to treat people. On top of that, some of the products you sell are spoiled or expired. That's not a small mistake, that's straight-up negligence and disgusting, especially for a store selling food. With this kind of attitude and this level of carelessness, don't be surprised when people stop coming and start warning others about your store.

Locally made Hot Sauce that it sure to leave a "ring of fire"…read more Ring of Fire was being demo'd at Bates Nut Farm today and I was sold after the first dipped cracker. First off this is a little different Habanero sauce than I'm used to. I'm used to the bright orange stuff they sell at the grocery stores. This has more of a finely blended salsa texture. The ingredients are vinegar, tomato, onions, habanero, garlic, serrano, spices, salt, and sugar. What does this all mean? A great Dipping sauce! Also good on mac-n-cheese and mixing in with salsa. - Something locally made that would make a great gift.

I've been ordering Ring of Fire hot sauce since the 1980's. It's the best. I give it to friends,…read morewho say it's addictive. My favorite recipe is to put a generous layer on a salmon filet and cook it under a top broiler until it almost turns black; works with swordfish also!! Cooking time varies a little depending on the thickness of the fish. My wife never wants me to cook it any other way......and that is an endorsement!!!

I love trying new local spots! So when I heard about this absolute hidden gem of a restaurant just…read morea few minutes away from my house, I had to try it. Marcello Pizza Napoli is a cozy pizzeria nestled in La Mesa, known for its authentic Italian flavors and traditional wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas. The vibe is definitely reminiscent to the Italian countryside- a private yet charming outdoor setting surrounded by potted herbs, string lights, and closely spaced tables that evoke a warm, intimate, and romantic setting (perfect for date nights or quiet dinners with friends). The Vespas were also a nice touch- created an authentic, nostalgic atmosphere that transports diners straight to the streets of Rome. The real highlight of our dining experience was the food. We started the evening with an order of polpette- homemade meatballs in rich tomato sauce, shaved parmesan, and served with fresh focaccia bread 8/10! I ordered the lasagna bolognese- it was rich and well balanced in flavor with a lightly crisped, toasted cheese crust on the upper layer 9/10! My wife ordered the ravioli with pesto- rich and creamy with a herbaceous punch of basil 9/10! (2) standouts were the gnocchi alla sorrentina and the pepperoni pizza. The gnocchi were stuffed with cheese (absolute game changer). The potato gnocchi was soft, tender, and pillowy. Hands down one of the best gnocchi I've ever had in my life 11/10! The pizza is what they're known for- it had a nice puffy crust with charred edges. Fresh ingredients highlight the pure taste of fermented wheat, sea salt, and extra virgin olive oil 10/10! Overall, service was great! And the quality of food was excellent. At times, they did run out of beverages (coke, blood orange, and modelo beer). However, our server did encourage us to bring our own bottle of wine for next time! Cheers ya'll!

This place was so good and who would've guessed its located in the backyard of a house!…read more We made reservations in advance for a Saturday night. We ordered the Margherita pizza and a tiramisu for dessert. So yum, so authentic, so fresh. Give me MORE! They have the pizza oven located right by the seating area, so you can watch the pizzas being made right in front of you!! The backyard is so cute and homey. You feel like a family guest in there. As much as I want to give it a 5/5, I do want to knock down one star just for the service speed. Everyone is SO NICE and SO SWEET. But eating there took a bit longer than I anticipated. When we made our reservation, there was an option to pre-order. When we sat down, we were told that the pre order didn't go through and they didn't receive anything. It took about 30 minutes to get our orders in after we had sat down. And then about another 25 minutes for our pizza. Then another 25 for our tiramisu and then another wait to get the bill. HOWEVER!!! They did tell us Saturday turned out busier than expected. MARCELLO, the owner, is also the chef and from what I could see, he was making all the orders!! Staff were so sweet and it's a backyard restaurant, so I totally understand (especially for a weekend)! They told us to try and come back when it's not so busy. I love supporting local businesses like this. The food is 5/5 , and I want to come back and give it another try when it's not so busy!
