I wanted to try their tacos (chicken, steak and campechano) and ordered 3. There was ample seating…read moreso I decided to eat in. Yall....there was a big bone in one of my tacos. I'm happy I saw it before I bit down on it. When I told the cashier and showed her, she told the cooks. They proceeded to laugh, while I was standing there. How rude, I thought! The cashier offered to prepare me another one but I declined. I didn't want anything else they cooked. The buffet was not very tidy but I didn't eat from there so , meh. The store part was actually pretty cool. I didn't buy anything as I only ventured over there for the food. There's a little sweet shop in the front that sells goodies along with street corn and elote. I ordered the street corn and it was delicious and inexpensive. I would definitely go back just for that and to shop in the store part.

I love having this grocery store nearby. In addition to your traditional grocery items they also…read moresell fresh fruits, breads, and meals. I like to get my fruits here since they're often fresher than Walmart's options. They also have good deals on meats and you can go right up to the counter and have them bag stuff up for you. That's a big deal for me since cooking for one can be a struggle portion wise. Though busy, the store has always been clean when I visit and the staff is also helpful.

One thing worth noting is everything we got had a lot of meat They don't skimp! I will GLADLY pay $3.50 for a loaded down taco! Prices are clearly marked Here's a rundown of what we got: 1. Torta Cubana- filled with alllll the meats and it's A TON of food. Two hungry men could easily share one sandwich. 2. Steak Taco- the best street taco I've had in the Bham area so far. Lots of meat. Yellow corn tortillas, so fresh. Added my own onions/cilantro/hot sauce so I got as much as I like to have (which is a lot) 3. Steak Gorditas- tortilla pocket was perfect. Meat and cheese perfect. I will think of this every day this week and get this again and again forever. 4. Papusas (bean and cheese)- Also perfect. The tortilla was perfectly Mexican style and thin with a little crisp on the outside. How do they get them so thin without tearing? I dream of making papusas like this. Someone's abuela with 50 years of experience must pat these out cause that's the only explanation! They are beautiful! If you are wanting some authentic Mexican food, this is your solution. There's a buffet that looks incredible. I don't even know everything that was on it but it all looked homemade. The market has the best avocados I've seen anywhere and the assortment of dried chiles is impressive. Go for the restaurant, then do your grocery shopping after you eat. Prices are excellent. Everyone is friendly. I will probably go back this week

I was greeted by a sweet Indian woman that was telling me what type of food they had of course Indian and American. There was quite a variety of snack, snacks, and drinks. I figured it would be more of a grocery store, but it was definitely a convenience store vibe. If you like Indian food, you might want to check it out. She also said they had Indian pizza which I've never heard of before. They did have a big selection of beer and wine.
