    This is a treat I certainly did not expect. From the signage I thought this was a grocery that specializes in Hispanic food items. However, they have a quaint little restaurant also which has very great service. The server was polite and friendly extended great service. The food is even better than the service. I have visited several Hispanic cafes locally but this one is one of the best. Nice setting, clean and is bigger than it looks. The only minus I can see is the steps leading into the place are very steep and difficult to transverse for someone that is handicapped. Otherwise all around great place to visit.

    The restaurant serves traditional Mexican tacos, sopes and gorditas, but they also serve "gringo" items such as ACP, chimichangas and taco salads. I ordered 3 sopes ($6.49) with al pastor (marinated pork), and they were great. The inside of the restaurant is very nice also.

    Brighter with more room and a bar, although I do miss having to walk through the Hispanic store next door.

    2023 Aug 01, 16:13; Elkin NC…read more Parking - 3 shared lot Location - 4 crossroads of two main roads Customer Service - 3 improved Pricing - 3 average for the area Product Variety - 3 reasonable selection Restrooms - 1 really dirty, no paper products Cleanliness- 2 overall One thing that really stands out to me in a business to me is the condition of their public conveniences such as restrooms. My presumption is if a business neglects proper cleanliness and stocking of this item, then their focus is not on their customers.

    I was in this food lion shopping & the sign said their hams were on sale for .99 a pound so I…read morepicked one up . Got to the register & it did not ring up on sale so some young boy who was watching over the register's came over & said you have to spend $35 . I told him that the sign didn't say that at the hams . He said well it's on days it in the sales paper I. I told him I didn't pick up a sales paper I was just in there shopping & saw the sign . So he was very confrontational and said no it did not ! I told him yes it did . Well I got to the car & my husband said why didn't you just take a picture of the sign & show him . So I went back in Food Lion & took the picture of the sign . I went back up there & showed him & told him to show me where on that sign did it say you had to buy $35 with of groceries . He said it was on the other side of the sign I told him no the other side said the Spiral Hams are $1.49 a pound & there was nothing on that side that said anything about spending $35 to get that price . The young man was very RUDE . & I will not be shopping there anymore !!! Here is the sign so can someone show me where it says you have to buy $35 worth of groceries !!!

It seems she's is hungry to exert her power, people steal thousands and do way more then what she said I did and she threatens me with the law? Spent countless amounts of money and never stole and never messed with anything and the one time they suspect you on something they threaten you with the law? Absolutely unprofessional disgusting behavior.

Having products in stock? Half check. (Inventory may be impacted by shortages that impact other stores.) Clothing in a variety of sizes. Half check. (This store long catered to smaller sizes even though the vast majority of its customers locally do not wear or should i say, should not wear small sizes) For the volumes of customers the store does a decent job keeping the place clean and organized. Customer service? Fail. Well lets be honest here, people want lowest prices. That cannot happenand still have the best customer service. Of course guns are no longer their inventory, including Air Soft. They are also not restocking knives or archery supplies. So basically all hunting items. Purely political. But this has fostered a huge growth in local merchants carrying those. But otherwise still a major hub for price conscious people.
