    First time visiting this place. Good hot food. Clean in the restaurant and grocery store. Staff members were friendly. Fast service. All the check outs were open. The produce looked amazing. Fresh meat. Will come again.

    Chicken milanesa

    Favorite Mexican food in the city! The restaurant near the deli has many great food options- with huge portions and very reasonable prices. Food always comes out fast and fresh.

    Ordered chicken and pork tamales along with 1/2 pound Mexican rice and tamarind Salsa. Everything was delivered hot and well packaged. Rice was so flavorfully delicious! Tamarind Salsa was well done with the right amount of tangy tamarind sauce. I had better tamales before, nonetheless, their tamales were a great value for the money. They tasted fresh with good amounts of meat.

    Plenty of mexi-chips to choose.

    So much to say about this great super market. Bakery has nice selections of breads and sweets. Great prices for deli foods and produce. This was my first chance to stop into the new El Rey. Prices have definitely gone up for beer and hot deli items. Limes are still the best price in town but they are 10% smaller. 15 for a buck. The weekday shopping was less busy but it was busy nonetheless. Parking was tight at this location. Security with armed guard was nice. Deli staff and clerks were attentive. Loaded up on corn tortillas 3 bags for a buck. Menudo, three bundles of tamales, carnitas, chicharones chico are delicious. A nice trip to our version of Mexico North of the border. And I can still drink the water.

    Fantastic sweets!

    This store is open all the time, even on most holidays! From the start you will see lots of pastries & sweets like churros and coconut, berry, tres leches, cakes. This is also a great place for fresh produce that you'll see near the front of the store. The middle are inside features in-store dining, as well from a selection of meats, rice, beans, etc. and table to sit. Next is the deli counter and a meat deli counter next to that. This store is very traditional and has those uncommon needs like tripe for making home cooked latin style meals such as menudo. You will not see a huge selection of brands like "Kraft" at El Rey. But mostly El Rey branded foods and some of the other popular Hispanic brands (e.g La Preferida, Goya, BIMBO, etc.) One of the things I like to get from El Rey is fresh sofrito. It can be the base of many meals (Hispanic or not!) and the jarred stuff/premade usually contains MSG. With this being fresh, it's much easier and all you have to do is take the container home from the deli cooler and fill an ice cube tray. When they freeze, viola! The sofrito cubes can be stored in a plastic bag in the fridge and is better than the jarred or premade frozen stuff with all of the unnecessary additives :) You would not come here for a huge selection of alcoholic beverages. They do have a small area near the front back corner of the store but it's limited and very cramped. Overall, it doesn't have everything but is a great convenience for certain ingredients.

    Chicharrones!!! Yumm!!!

    It's really sad that there aren't many options for groceries right in this neighborhood. In saying…read morethat, Sendik's really takes advantage of this fact and raises their usual store prices for this "Fresh2Go" location. Not much more than a convenience store without the attached gas station. Carries some staples, not many, mostly niche products, some private label products, and some fresh produce and meats...but very few. The salad bar is started fresh on Monday mornings and is then covered and let to wilt through the week. The bakery items are usually stale, which means these WOULD have been discounted in a regular store, where at the "Fresh2Go" location they actually JACK the prices UP and sell lower quality items! Most of the staff though, are pretty friendly. Especially to regular, local residents. I am always greeted warmly when I walk by the check-out and even in aisles, when they're stocking, they have been helpful. It's just the shameful use of the highest priced items, that are then jacked up in prices even more for the Marquette Student crowd. Sendik's is truly shady in this regard! Not just the Marquette students live in this neighborhood, there are local area, year round residents who are being terrible gRaped by this exaggerated pricing! The staff even admits that the pricing at the "Fresh2Go" location is higher than their full service locations, and their website proves it as well if you try to order ahead. The stale baked goods and wilted salad bar is so SKETCH...and then they Jack the Prices UP from their full service locations? SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!

    Everything was overpriced and the people working there seemed miserable and rude. I had someone…read moreclap their hands at me while I was trying to figure something out.

    Very good Southeast Asian grocery with a great selection of frozen fish, frozen prepared Southeast…read moreAsian foods, produce, and Southeast Asian rice. A little less choice in Far East Asian ingredients, and little to nothing of interest to South Asian cooks. The assumption might be that anyone shopping here is feeding a clan because it's hard to get only enough vegetables for two humans, but the prices for fresh produce are so good a little waste doesn't bother me too much (especially since I compost). If you are single and not Asian, and think you're okay with American supermarket instant ramen, you need to rethink cheap eats and try some instant noodle soup from here. A few coins more will get you much tastier instant noodle soups, especially the ones without good English translation on the packages. Add some of the fresh vegetables and tofu or bean sprouts you get here and you can make a cheap meal nutritious and well balances. I guess technically bean sprouts are vegetables but noodle soups require more than two added ingredients I think.
