Came to buy pinto beans and the sign said bagged Pinto beans $1.99. Went to the register and a older man with a accent (I assume it the owner) told me my total was $12.92 for the three bags I bought. I paid, I double checked the sign, and let him know kindly that the sign said $1.99 for bagged pinto beans and he let's me know it's per the pound. I like to support small businesses, so I paid $12.92, I thanked him, and told him I Hope he has a nice day. As I'm about to walk out he tells me Manager: would you like them for free? Me: huh? For free?... no it's ok. But if you can adjust it at $1.99. I don't want to take advantage. The manager/ Owner goes off with a attitude on me, saying I'm trying to take advantage of him. I'm just standing there in shock, and he tells me "You know what.. I have enough problems, just leave my store". I went up to counter to apologize if it seemed I was trying to take advantage by asking for a price adjustment instead of taking it for free. I like to support small businesses. He told me thank you bye. He wouldn't even give me my money back. Saddened by the rude experience from the owner/ manager. Disappointed how you are heartless and unkind you are. I won't be supporting your small business anymore. Good luck to you in the future. Manager Wants to talk about fair.. he charged me $1.99 per pound, instead of $1.99 for the bag. Shame on you! read more

Five Star Discount Market - 6 pounds of pinto beans for $12.92 - Grocery Near Me - Oceanside, California

Very convenient, no frills place. Good liquor and beer selection. Their homemade roasted red salsa and guacamole are amazing. I have not tried their meat selection but friends that have only have good things to say! Pricing is moderate but convenience makes up for it. Love this little place. read more

I came in for some marinated carne asada and pollo asada to throw on the grill this past weekend for a Labor Day BBQ with friends. Meat was definitely flavored well-no complaints there! My friend actually overcooked the chicken so I can't really say anything about it haha it was hard and chewy! Yikes! The store has been around for years. Definitely needs updates. When you walk in there's just this stench that kinda lingers. Not okay. But I obviously continue to shop here. So... The guys that work the deli are real nice and helpful-they know what they're doing. The girls at the register are a bit rude, short and don't want to talk to you. That can definitely be awkward for most people! They have a small produce section, not the freshest veggies but if you're in a hurry they'll do! They have a ton of alcohol for sale here too, behind the counter mostly! They usually have good sales on booze in case you're looking. read more

Most of their packaged food products are expired! Read the expiration date before purchasing. Their tacos are also basic.

I grew up off Douglas and this market was always the place id go to for candy and or those late might munchies lol. I know the owners here and its a good feeling to continue to support a store that knows me as well. Friendly staff and they pretty much have anything you could possibly think of. Always having deals everyday and I love it! The family that runs this business truly care about their community and thats what earns them 5 stars!!!:) read more

Being the typical neighborhood market it has a great variety and I love that it's open late. Everyone has been super nice thus far and extremely helpful. They do pretty well for a small market read more

Just want to take the time compliment the wonderful staff, store and convenience. We love to support shopping local!! It's all about community and paying it forward. This lovely family owned and operated mini market/liquor store couldn't be more complete! They carry freshly made guacamole and salsa in a cooler right as you walk in. Finely marinated carne asada and other brilliant meats from their obviously experienced and established butcher, Gelasio. Even on busy weekend nights at the liquor counter, just being in their family's presence makes waiting in line for their comparatively priced milk (2 gallons for $6.00!!!) or $0.59lb bananas makes me feel relieved to have such a wonderfully owned and operated convenience store, open late, just around the corner makes it worth it. Sure, the grocery stores are just a mile or so down the road in each direction but why waste the gas, walking time, carts, isle after isle just to be gone 30+ minutes when you can hop in and out in a matter of minutes? It's easy to get to being at a relatively quieter intersection and great little strip mall where you can do your local shopping, get gas, pizza..etc... All-in-one stop. Sometimes just wanting some authentic candy or baked goods, a taste right out of Mexico itself, is all we desire. The customer service is outstanding! Seeing Rachel and Nicole is always a favorite and welcoming experience. Those ladies really know how to make you feel welcome. Taking the time to show you where things are. Their knowledge and know how counter experience is swift and thorough. Service with smiles that never seem to leave their faces. Communicating with their butcher like it's a competition to see who can smile the longest in between accomplishing tasks and customer inquiries! They could probably get away with adding a fresh fish (tossing) market in there and actually grab an audience! I've been meaning to say something for a while! They've been around a long time and deserve recognition! All my kids love to "get out" of the car and check out the $.25, $0.50 concession located out the front! A selection of fresh LOCAL produce is always available and you KNOW it's organic because the majority of the well established local farms around here don't need to add pesticides etc... the length of time their trees and soil has been producing. Why add anything anyway? ...the chemtrails and San Diego County Vector Control Program will conduct aerial applications regardless. So, if anyone has a complaint about aging bananas or a small bruise on an apple they should shop Genetically Modified at the majority corporate owned turnover-rate stores just a few miles in every other direction. 5-Star really does out beat for local convenience and customer service. A old-school corner stone and asset to our community here in the North Valley area! Even if they don't carry your "brand", all you have to do is ask if they can order it... less than a week and you have it! My suggestion is more micro-brewery beers (Lost Coast Brewery, Mad River Brewery) and Lambic Belgium brews:: (raspberry (framboise), peach (pêche), blackcurrant (cassis), grape (druif), or strawberry (aardbei), as either whole fruit or syrup. Other, rarer fruit lambic flavorings include apple (pomme), banana (banane), pineapple (ananas), apricot (abricotier), plum (prunier), cloudberry (plaquebière), lemon (citron), and blueberry (bleuet))!! Thanks Nicole, Rachel & Gelasio for always making my 5-Star experiences just that, 5-STAR! read more

Do NOT buy meat from this place!!! They will rip you off. We bough 2lbs of seasoned meat, which should have cost $12.80. Instead, the cashier charged us $19.80, and refused to give us a receipt, nor did he bother to give back the additional $7.00 in change, to which he probably pocketed. The store is also not clean. As a food inspector, I would recommend the Health Dept to actually go and do a thorough exam of the entire store. read more

Staff is friendly... products are overpriced but I can appreciate the fast convenience due to its location... much better than having to drive to Walmart or Stater bros read more

Maybe it was the dark interior, perhaps it was the black bananas, per chance it was the plastic bag with holes on both ends, or maybe it was the general unclean look of the place. But something made me think this place was just slightly ghetto. I honestly want to rate this place higher, because it's independently owned and the guy seems like he's really trying. For instance, he was open on Christmas day and advertised that fact in front of all the closed grocery stores (genius!), but I just can't get over how drab everything was. read more

The best and cheapest tacos in town. There Ground beef is half the price of Stater Brothers & The carnitas are awesome ! read more

Great selection of craft beer, liquor, and meat! All the prepared food from marinated meat, guacamole, salsa, tortilla chips is just plain awesome. All in all a great place for serious food and beverage shopping. read more

Certainly not the cleanest place in the world - but a decent selection of beer and liquor at great prices. We like to skateboard down for a midnight drink. :) The cashiers are always friendly and some of the local delicacies are awesome (salsa was very tasty). read more
