Guys. RUN don't walk here if you're in the west coast and need groceries…read more My family was here the day before (on a Thursday!), and had hit up the Walmart in Isabela, and had all complained that it was a freaking nightmare experience. Crowded as all heck, horrible horrible selection, and it took entirely way longer than it needed to. I am vegan, so I need a good solid variety of vegetables to get through a trip. I checked the Walmart app, and the store didn't even have broccoli. Looked on Yelp to find a supermarket that isn't an American chain, and this one came right up. Great. Came in with a group of 4 people. Right as you enter the parking lot, there's plenty of parking. Then the shopping carts are all neatly arranged right outside the front door. There is like a covered driveway area so you can pull up your car to load up in case it's raining. It also makes it easy to return your cart, because the cart return is right next to the covered driveway thingy. You get into the store, and you've got a massive selection of beautiful produce all laid out neatly. We not only found broccoli, but also a choice of recao and cilantro, parsley, those little sweet peppers, garlic, onion of various sorts, and pretty much every other ingredient you need to make a nice sofrito from scratch if you wish. Just in case that wasn't enough, there's several brands of jarred sofrito in the refrigerated section. Frozen section was well stocked. Dry goods and pantry goods were also well stocked. The whole store was brightly lit and clean. So so so clean. The staff were helpful and friendly. The other people in the store were friendly, with a ready smile, and we'd all get out of each other's way as needed. AND the prices were reasonable. We bought a full shopping cart's worth of stuff for our party of 14 staying at the air BnB [including a ton of produce, weird vegan stuff (almond milk, Earth Balance vegan margarine), a couple of cases of beer, burgers, frozen fries, and hot bread straight from the hot bread display right by the cash register] for like $200 and change. If we knew this was going to be this reasonably priced, and such a pleasant experience, we'd have gone here first, because it's on the way back to our accommodations from the BQN airport anyways. Skip the Walmart, and just come here for your needs. The only ONE tiny issue was that they don't carry dishwasher detergent of any kind. I don't care if it was pods or the powder or the liquid. I just needed something to load the dishwasher. They had several brands of dish liquid soap, like Dawn or whatever, but the stuff for the dishwasher was conspicuously absent, even after asking one of the lovely store employees. But who cares when the rest of the experience was so pleasant. You know what's even better? We got in and out of that store in a half hour flat, and that was with us hitting up every aisle and considering whether or not to buy all the things on it.

SUMMATION: Quaint, local grocery even though it is a large facility in a mall. Has friendly,…read moreefficient service and assistance. Well-stocked, local and international products, intermediate in size, but lacking a few items. NAME: Supermercado Selectos, Añasco CHAIN: Supermacado Selectos, slectospr.com MY RATING: Very, Very Good (4.6/5) SIZE: Larger than a colmado, but smaller than larger supermarkets. TITLE: "Large but Local" [Yelp, my review #465 [1], submitted 5 February 2016] TELEPHONE: (787) 826-1626 MANAGER: Well managed store. In the beginning, he greeted us every time we went in the store. LOCALITY: PR 2, Km. 143.3, Centro Comercial Multiplaza, Barrio Caracoles, Añasco, Puerto Rico 00610 LATITUDE, LONGITUDE: 18°17'50.34"N, 67°9'30.84"W DIFFICULTY LOCATING: easy DIRECTIONS: From the south, do a U-turn at the main traffic light in Añasco and take the first right into shopping mall. From the north, go through the light and do the same. Do not turn at the traffic light. The entrance off the light is always jammed up. PARKING: paved mall lot usually with open parking spaces close by OCCASION: Have a cheaper brand of Worcestershire sauce, sweet balsamic salad dressing, frozen flounder filets, and artesian lettuces, which other local stores lack. LAYOUT: As one enters the store, there is a cafeteria on the left and a bakery on the right. Checkout lines are straight ahead. Shelves and aisles are to the right of the checkout. AIR CONDITIONED: yes HOURS OF OPERATION: 5 am-11 pm every day CELEBRITIES: We are the only gringos we have ever seen there. Also, they had a 7 foot employee, for a while, who was quite a shock in the land of the short. PROBLEMS: (I) Security lights are too dim when power goes off. (II) They are often out of Sprite Zero (III) Pueblo has a few items they lack RECOMMENDATIONS: CUSTOMER: Drive by front of the store. Usually 1 or 2 parking spaces there. MANAGER/OWNER: You are doing a good job. COMPARISONS: Only nearby grocery stores are Pueblo in the Mayagüez Town Center Mall and Selectos at Añasco Commercial Center Mall. The Añasco Selectos is more pleasant, has more local products, and most prices are cheaper. The Selectos in downtown Mayagüez is mostly local stuff and not as good. REVIEWS: rated Very, Very Good, 4.46, 50 reviews (IVUSpots); Very, Very Good, 4.67/5, 3 reviews (Google); Terrible, 1/5, 1 review (FaceBook) HISTORY: We have been shopping there occasionally since 2006.
