So I was out shopping yesterday at my local organic grocery. Looking over in the produce section I…read moresaw what appeared to be collard greens. Yes collards, but HUGE. They looked leaves from a Giant Gunnera plant, commonly known as Dinosaur Food. I only brought one bunch home 'cus I had to fold them both vertically and horizontally just to fit them into the produce sleeve. The leaves measured 15" across. Unbelievable and delicious, I hope to find more from Joe Heger farms in the future.

This grocery store has all your favorite Mexican food ingredients. The aisles are fully stocked…read morewith a great variety and selection of items imported from Mexico. My favorite part of this restaurant chain is the restaurant section. They serve fresh Mexican cuisine that is ready to be served. The breakfast burritos are delicious. I love the pork Carnitas and the beef tripe fully cooked that is sold by the pound. This is a great spot to pick up a full meal for a family or a large catering event.

Great food and friendly staff, thanks. Tortillas are the best. Juices are delicious and freshread more

Our family loves ALDI stores! It was a staple grocery destination while we lived in San Diego so we…read morewere stoked to see that EC has one. Store is well stocked and organized. Best prices and lots of gluten free options. There's plenty of parking and service is always pretty good. It's always a pleasant surprise to see Jon. He's introduced me to some pretty awesome aldi products and can ALWAYS point us the right direction. He's an exemplary example of what good customer service should be; always going above and beyond.

I wouldn't normally review Vons, but this is a great market for the area and it's my parents'…read morego-to. I was there three times in one day, for snacks, groceries, and pharmacy. This is a big market with lots of selection, clean and well organized. I'd like to specifically call out the pharmacy. I was picking up meds for my parents, and the people there recognized the name and asked how my parents were doing. I'm not used to this in San Diego, where no one knows your name, but it's nice to find the small town atmosphere even in a big market!

I'm 1000 miles away and wanted to help by sending them some food. Of course it's New Year's eve and day. Although they were out of a lot of things, we regrouped today and were able to get more items for my in-laws. We all stayed calm and were able to get a healthy food order out to them. All the people I talked to at the El Centro Von's were very friendly, patient, helpful and seemed to really care about getting my order to my sick relatives. I really appreciated everyone's help. Thank you!

Sorry no pictures but i can surely attest that the Spicy…read moretuna panini was delicious and I wish I didn't go halvers with my husband this day The girls in the restaurant can use a bit more of a welcoming feel and it felt like I was bothering one of them when I asked for hot sauce and she said "the tuna panini is spicy already " I said I know I'd like a packet of any of hot sauce please . Make sure you ask for all the things you need to at the window because everything is inside napkins , utensils extra sauces otherwise young ladies there are annoyed with you at the window. I felt like apologizing to them for their - inconvenience -when I was the customer . Maybe a better method for this maybe they are overwhelmed due to running from window to drive through . Other than my overseen inconveniences to others / which are minor but important details as a customer it's really a great spot . Try it out you won't be disappointed There are two tables outside but more of a drive thru than sit down . I also grabbed a strawberry match that was pretty tasty and hubby grabbed a craft energy with guava which was so refreshing .

Very cute small coffee shop in el centro! Decided to stop by for some coffee before a long drive…read moreback home and this was the perfect spot. They conveniently have a drive thru, so that's a plus. They also have a walk up window, but maybe a table or two outside. There's no indoor area so this isnt really a place to sit and enjoy your coffee. The staff was really nice and even gave us some recommendations. We got a couple of lattes and they were really good! Since they make the espresso fresh, the iced coffee wasn't ice cold but I didnt mind that too much. I will definitely continue to stop by this place whenever im in town!

Today I returned to the wonderful D'Poly Taco Grill and Beer in El Centro where my epic hiking…read moreexpedition ended in failure, disappointment, and embarrassment a few weeks ago. I intended to travel the entire 2,600-mile length of the Pacific Crest Trail, but my adventure unceremoniously ended in El Centro under a tree about 60 miles east of my starting point. The paramedics told me that hiking is not for everyone. After a desperate two weeks of hiking with little food and water through BLM land tracks, old service roads, and desert washes, as best I can recall, I finally set up camp in El Centro under a farmer's tree near his washing line. Soon after the farmer called the police about my campfire, the authorities and my ex-wife found me in a state of delerium hosting a tea party under a large avocado tree wearing the farmer's wife's plus size nightgown while serving "cups of chai tea" to a sizable pile of rotten avocados and a rusty shovel that I thought was "Jan" from those Toyota commercials. My first real meal after being found by the authorities and my ex-wife was at D'Poly Taco Grill and Beer. D'Poly was the perfect welcome back to civilization as it has a spectacular menu full of delicious Mexican cuisine like street tacos, flautas, sopes and empanadas. The Lineman burrito is my absolute favorite. And they have a wonderful breakfast menu! It's fast casual dining, but it has a sort of classic and moody vibe that gives off a more upscale feel. Love it! A wonderful place to break free of your delusions. My ex-wife tried to tell me that hiking is not for everyone. Thankfully, the paramedics found my emergency contact list and phoned my ex-wife who showed up and broke me out of my stupor by making me drop my emotional support avocado, taking me by the shoulders and shaking me vigorously while yelling "it's over, it's over!" Ironically, that was the same way she told me we were getting divorced. I'm not a quitter, so it takes a while for me to give up. I've since tried many items on the D'Poly menu and everything is exceptional, though I do avoid adding avocado. It's just too soon. Thank you D'Poly Taco Grill and Beer! Five stars.

We came into town for an event and this restaurant was recommended to us for the "vibes" lol. The food was pretty good, but you can definitely tell that people come more for the vibes. We got different smattering of tacos/Tex-Mex food. MAKE IT A PLATE because the rice and beans and fun veggies. Impromptu belated birthday celebration - cake came with a sparkler! Cake was moist and not too sweet, yummy lemon flavor!
