This supermarket has been in Porterville for as long as I can remember. That being said I don't…read morethink it's changed a whole lot. Produce section is wonderful with lots of very fresh large vegetables. They also have a lot of things that you won't find in any of the other supermarkets in town. Every time I have been in the store it is clean but it just seems to need refreshing. I would love to see this store remodeled because they really have a lot to offer but it's not as interesting to look around because it just seems like an older store. I don't tend to make as many impulse buys here as I do at the other supermarkets because of the layout of the store but I do appreciate what they have here.

Well it is clean compared to all marts that's all that matters.. Man it's lit tho with alcohol. Go…read morenuts they have a unique selection from beer wine and the hard stuff love coming here. Aye yoo they even added Nigori sake and little more hard kombucha!! Can't wait for more nigori or bigger size soon they run out quick!! Because I quit all the hard liquor stuff makes me go 99 bananas.. But seriously go nuts people sleep on the instacart app that works for this store. You also can order the hot foods all them wings and things. Nahh mean mash papas and salad the whole sheeeeebang! Idk somebody to beer run and food at the same time brahhhhhhhhhh in this covid time y'all this is gold!!! Well can't be perfect because peep don't keep there mask on pretty lame it just can't be helped. Just like ungrateful kids who don't listen to their parents. I know the laws lifted the bandage of the mask policy but put people first. You know how many savage slows are out there who dont wash there hands after the pee pee. People are just gross and wonder why. Also got the j&j vaccine done here it is clean but kinda wired having my shot in a corner next to the restroom.

When I moved here 4 years ago Savemart was definitely the supermarket in town that had the most…read moreorganic produce and other items, plus gf stuff. However since Kings Market purchased them they have gone down hill. We bought two packages of organic butter and they were both old and moldy with 2025 expiration dates. We have had recent experiences buying avocados and other items that were spoiled. We are tired of it and we are going to start using Smart and Final and other stores instead. Do they really think deceiving customers and keeping spoiled food out is going to keep the store open?

Vallarta is a place that my family has always gone to shop and we've always had a good experience…read more Unfortunately not today . I went shopping with my mom we were down the meat aisle when i saw a worker pushing a cart full of heavy boxes coming towards us and i tried stopping it with my hand because he was about to run into us he didn't stop and he hit my mom, my mom fell and dropped her items that she had in a basket. My mom could have been really hurt if those boxes fell on top of her. I asked for his name wich is ( juan ) ( wears glasses ) Managers in charge need to really talk to them about they're surrounding's while pushing those big things .. Alot of kids and shoppers they need to be careful. Or they can get into serious trouble.

I love going here for my groceries in general since it's always stocked with such fresh vegetables,…read morefruits and hand made tortillas. However, today I was curious as to how good their made to order food was. We went around 10 am to try the breakfast burrito. There were several options (potato and egg, bacon, chorizo etc) with an option to include cilantro and onions. We got the chorizo breakfast burrito with cilantro and onions with red sauce on the side. The staff at the counter are friendly and they give you a number on the receipt when you order. We waited about 5 minutes and our number was called. They have seats in front of the counter where you can eat indoors if you choose to. Or you can do take out as well! Very clean eat in area and peaceful too since no one was sitting there! Definitely recommend this place for groceries and to have a nice breakfast or lunch at. They also have a panadería (bakery) section with delicious pastries (:

It's been many years since I have been here. But, today I had a reason for my visit. I was asked to…read moremeet with the owner to discuss business strategy. Vientiane specializes with products for the Latino and Asian shoppers. Everything you would find at your larger ethnic supermarkets such as El Super and 99 Ranch, you will find here (without driving to the big cities) I am impressed with their selection of Filipino groceries, Asian Vegetables and Fresh Fish. As well as a large selection of Latino foods, Marinated Meats and prepared hot foods. I like Vientiane , they have all the items I need for my Asian household and my favorite Cakes from Lee Lin Bakery ***Kim , your store rocks ! Two thumbs up , great job ***

Great grocery store, with a wide selection of hispanic and asian foods. However, on my last trip I…read moreexperienced a very long wait time at the register. An older employee was chatting to other workers which held up the line for a considerable amount of time, so much so that I thought about abandoning my cart and going to the Vallarta. Another worker who looks considerably younger was quite kind to me and helpful in finding products I was looking for. Aside from the wait in the line, the ambiance was lovely, including music, and a well stocked store. I would definitely come back.

We just went there today. It is a new store that is nice and clean. I have to say: We love Aldi!…read moreTheir prices are very reasonable!!! My estimate is that we save at least 40 percent on our monthly grocery bill compared to buying stuff at other stores. However, this also involves some meal planning. We always do a big trip :) I would like to comment on the bad review on here: 1. You do not have to pay for your shopping cart! If you bring it back to its designated area, you can take your quarter out. 2. About the "knock-off" brands: Please do some research about Aldi. All products are great quality for less than the name brands... check the ingredients... Aldi never disappoints! My favorite products: German chocolate, cereal & cereal bars, lunch meats, the great cheese selection, sausage, and of course the "Aldi Finds" :) I recommend this store! :)))

Kellogg's yogurty clusters cereal, turkey sausages, berry Peeps and water bought. Good deal on the water. The worker was kind at checkout. Good service and store! Recommended!

REAL ORGANIC PRODUCTS and wine AT A QUARTER OF THE PRICE!…read more I never thought I would be caught dead in a place like this. But I needed to get avocados on the way to a party so I stoped I'm really quick. I usually shop at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's so when I hear bargain I think "well it's probably garbage that is sure to cause cancer." Turns out the grocer buys up the remaining stock from companies for cash at crazy discount so they constantly have random items coming in as one time purchases available for a few days. Here is the best part. You can buy wine rated very high by Vivino or organic food for 20 cents on the dollar or less. This is officially my new favorite place to shop. I think the one big mistake they made was going lazy on the branding. It needs a better name that fits the store business model.

Highly recommend J&R Meats for quality food and catering. We ordered prepared turkey and roast for…read moreThanksgiving and it was amazing with little to no leftovers, perfectly seasoned and cooked. For Christmas we enjoyed one of Maddy's famous charcuterie boards, another hit to our family's gathering. Throughout the year, I've also enjoyed special orders like beef short ribs and beef bacon, yes beef bacon (delicious) from the Porterville Fair. When you shop with them, you know you're investing back into our community. Shelley and J&R Meats are everywhere. From chamber events, school sponsoring, golf tournament, giving out turkeys with the casino, raising money for Tova, creating and donating Christmas trees for SVMC fundraiser, partnering with OACYS fundraising for the Family Crisis Center, sponsoring and helping out with local fairs and participants, feeding those in need of a warm meal with Plates of Hope, and I'm sure many more, but they're so humble you won't hear this from them. They just do it! We are fortunate to have them in Porterville and our community.

Great selection and friendly staff, however I was overcharged 50% of my total purchase price. When…read moreI asked they said to make sure I speak up next time when I'm overcharged, because it's not uncommon for them to do so. How has this place not figured out how to process transactions correctly and consistently?

Hooray for this Walmart. They tolerate overnight parking and after getting to the Raine rest area…read moreon the 99 to find it closed, I was not in a good mood. This Walmart is not a Supercenter, likely because it shares the shopping center with a grocery store. They still have soft lines and toys and electronics and a Tire & Lube but very limited food and groceries. The restroom was clean and I checked out the limited selection of RV stuff. I parked the Sprinter van in the area between the Walmart and the grocery store with two or three other motorhomes. It was mostly quiet until the stores closed, then it was completely quiet.

Very rude, snotty, arrogant, unprofessional, miserable staff with the most constipated looking frowns on their faces. Having worked with the public before myself I can empathize It can be dificult. But don't mistreat customers who don't deserve it (especially elders) like my mother who is older who has said she was treated badly by their service. Get customer service training or you will lose business.
