I am not really into infused olive oil, so I primarily buy straight up olive oil here. They have 3-4 straight olive oil options (e.g. Spanish, California, Greece) which are very good. You can ask for samples to help you choose. The quality of the products are very good, which is why I buy from this place. Note, they are a little high, but again the quality is very good. Discounts for military personal and if you buy 3 bottles. Cash, plastic and Apple Pay accepted.

The woman working there was helpful and kind. I really enjoyed their olive tapenade and that is what I purchased. The balsamic vinegars are extremely sweet. Too sweet for my taste. The olive oils are delicious.

They have the same large bin with warm packaged corn tortillas just like the first location. These corn tortillas were from Luna's in South Carolina. There was a hot food area where you can get one meat entrée with Mexican rice, five pieces of fresh, warm corn tortillas, and spicy tomatillo sauce for $9.99 (4:22pm lunch price). There were other cooked meat there too, looked like chicharrones. The meat options for either beef with green beans, chicken fajita, beef with potato, or pork and red salsa. You typically only get one meat, but you can do half of one meat dish and half of another meat dish. I tried the beef with green beans and the pork in red salsa. They were both fine and very salty, but the pork tasted way better for my preference. The spicy salsa was delicious, I wish I could eat this every week. The bakery section had the usual baking sheet pan (on top of the bakery checkout area) and tongs that you grab yourself like the first location. There's a way larger variety here than the first location. After grabbing the bread products I wanted, they packaged it in a bag with a receipt at the checkout station where I got the sheet pan. 4 pieces of the French bread and one small crescent shaped sweet bread costed a total of $4.75. The breads were good as usual, but of course taste way better right after it's done baking, which I was lucky enough to get at the first location. There are no grocery carts, only baskets.

Who out there likes Christmas? What if I said you could experience Christmas-like joy every…read moreWednesday? We found out you can, right here in Wilmington, by signing up for a new local produce delivery service called The Produce Box. We signed up after skyrocketing bills at Tidal Creek had us reevaluating our grocery budget. Our friends in Raleigh have been doing this for a while and I guess it is a service catching on across the country....glad to see something as cool as this in Wilmington. What is it, you ask? $22 a week and you get a good size box of locally grown, farm fresh produce to your DOOR. Yes, right to your front step. Essentially, its the same stuff at the local farmers market, but delivered. We are simply amazed and excited each week when our box comes...to top it off, they throw in samples of maple butter, bbq, honey, etc and you get a friendly note from farmers and produce box coordinators with recipes and what is going on in their world. Financially, we did the math and you'd have to atleast spend $40-50 a week depending on the produce for the same price. Buying direct from farmers really does make sense.... Nothing we've done so far in Wilmington has made us feel so connected to the community as a whole. No subscription, cancel anytime and if you are on vacation you just login and "skip a week" Real easy. After doing this for about 6 weeks, we've seen our grocery budget get back to normal (probably less) and you really feel like you are part of something special going on.... Here are the boxes for this week (they change each week depending on what is in season and what is fresh) - and, they offer "stock up" options like if you want some cucumbers for pickling. Just check out the site, you'll see.... Box A 6 ears of corn Blueberries(one pint) 3-4 red tomatoes Sweet Potatoes or New Potatoes Cucumbers Squash/zucchini Box B 6 ears of corn Blueberries 2-3 red tomatoes 1-2 Green tomatoes Squash Variety: includes papaya squash, regular and golden zucchini Cucumbers Box C (FARMERS CHOICE BOX) 6 ears of corn Blueberries Beans (either green beans, was or pole beans) The rest is FARM choice....

I am like a little kid waiting for my box full of fresh goodness to arrive every week. I've never had anything bad. If it's something I don't like, I simply trade it like lunch with a coworker! I made apple pie last week from the apples and OMG it was amazing!!! I'm a pie baker and in my 20 years of baking, I've never had better quality apples. The squash was incredible, I've made ravioli and bisque that rivals anything you'll find in a restaurant. Plus the "samples" new stuff that you get to try for free! As a fruit and veggie lover, the Produce Box is a great value, high quality and nutritionally top notch! Sign up, you won't regret it!

Once I opened the door, I was astonished by the abundance and variety of colorful fruits and vegetables everywhere. It's a small store but there was a lot to look at. I felt like a kid in a candy store for the first time. This looks like the place to go to for your Mexican produce needs. There were bins of dried beans, dried corn, fresh nopales, fresh aloe vera leaves, tomatillos, peppers, Calabacita squash, prickly chayote squash, mamey fruit, rambutan, chipilin plants, herbs, and other exotic produce. In the back, you can get fresh coconuts cut for you. Some of the produce did not have labels so do your research and have an ingredient list ready before coming here. They were also sweet Mexican breads packaged in donut boxes and small clear plastic bags made from a bakery in Tucker, Georgia. If you're looking to be adventurous, they had seasoned dried grasshoppers snacks. There was one staff/owner who spoke English but other customers there were pretty nice in helping me figure some things out. They only accept cash, no credit card. Unfortunately, I didn't have any cash on me so I will have to come try out some of their produce next time!

So there might be an entrance coming from the Sunnyvale Drive side. Looks like they have all of the offerings like the other Los Portales supermarket locations, including bakery item, ready to eat hot food (meat, Mexican rice, etc), and fresh tortillas. Of course had to get some of their bakery items, including their popular Bolillo ($0.89 each), which I can never get tired of. Also got their chicken empanadas ($1/lb) and hot chicken tamale (self serve from a large pot, $1.39 each). Never had a Mexican style empanada made with corn masa. It was quite delicious and my toddler enjoyed it as well. The chicken tamale was a little spicy but also delicious. My only regret is that I didn't buy more tamales! They were giving complimentary cake slices maybe because they just opened.

I bought them and loved them but didn't glance at my receipt the first go round but it seemed steep. I brushed it off because I was buying quite a bit of stuff. The following Saturday (June 20), I came in to buy two more packs and noticed my bill was much higher than I anticipated. I went back to ask about the pricing today (Wednesday). Both times I bought the burrito wraps they were in the same spot. Marked $2.39. When I went to dispute the charge the white lady told me that the workers put stuff in the wrong place all the time. All I wanted was a refund of the difference because they were there in that very spot both times. The chihuahua cheese also rings up wrong but she didn't seem to care. In North Carolina items are to be sold for the price they're represented on the shelf. Whether it's put in the wrong place or not and ESPECIALLY if it remains in the wrong place indefinitely without anyone bothering to move it. Once she said, "oh they just put stuff in the wrong place without looking." I knew it made no sense to argue. Kinda sucks because this is the only Latin grocery store in this very limited area.

Located at the corner of Island Dr and 2nd Ave (NOT 2nd Street) and open 7 days a week (even holidays) in season, from 9am-6pm. I always make a point to stop in multiple times a week for local produce and baked goods (get there early for the best bread selections) and the owners and staff make me feel like family. They have a good selection of fruits, vegetables, and jellies/salsas/sauces that makes sure you'll always find a little more than you planned on when you stopped. Cash only, so be prepared, but they will hold things to the side if you need to make a dash back home to get some. Limited parking is available on site. Worth the drive from NTB, TB, Surf City, and all the surrounding areas.
