I've been visiting this grocery store for about 2 months now. I started visiting when I started the…read morePaleo diet due to some autoimmune health issues, and found that normal grocery stores were frustrating as nearly 90% of the store were items full of preservatives, sugar, dairy, and other additives that are just not conducive to the Paleo diet. It was frustrating to say the least, so when I found this place, I started visiting regularly. It gave me some semblance of normalcy to not have to put back nearly all items I pick up. While it is pricier, I primarily buy my main produce elsewhere and supplement with paleo sauces, snacks and other items here. They also have a great supplement section, where I purchase a few supplement to help lesser the symptoms of my autoimmune disease. I had a more pleasant than usual experience today and wanted to highlight it. I visited on a Tuesday morning around 11AM and parking was plenty. I'm happy I can always find shaded parking. I walked in and grabbed a basket and it seems this place is always well staffed, which keeps the produce well stocks and it seems it's rotated regularly to make sure the items are fresh. This place is always clean and tidy, making it easy to remember the layout and navigate it. I had a question about their water machine and how they would charge for a half gallon(I didn't have a full gallon bottle), and she said they just weighed it! So I went to the cashier and ask if she needed to weigh my bottle before I filled it(just like how they would for bulk items) and she said since there is 64 FL Oz. Ingrained into the glass it was fine! It was a pleasant experience, as they were happy to answer my questions and helped me ensure I got what I needed. They also had free range eggs for $5/dozen, which was a pleasant surprise. Though at 11AM they only have one carton left. I did not buy it since I bought some eggs from TJs already. I also picked up some frozen squash and organic opal apples that were on sale. The prices weren't any worse than a usual grocery store. Just make sure you price match, like for example, chomp beef sticks are $1.99 at TJs, $2.69 here, but they were on sale for $1.69. So, you could do a bit of savings!(Since chomps turkey sticks are one of the only paleo sticks that I can throw in my purse in case I get hungry). Overall, I do enjoy this place. I think mire bulk items would be great as it is quite small today. I also could not find any lemon balm tea, so I'll have to buy that elsewhere. I'll be coming back every week to scour your sales and supplement my grocery shopping!

Let me start with those sunflower and date cookies that are supposed to be "freshly baked." Not so. Stale as can be! And the store refused to take them back or offer a refund or store credit. The "organic" white and yellow popcorn. STALE! I tried 3 different methods of popping with stale results all 3 times. Staff's reaction? Defensiveness and no offer of a reasonable solution...had to "match" the price to another item of the same value. Ridiculous. Honestly, I thought I was in Farmer Joe's for a minute! Finally, that bulk "large flake" yeast can be sketchy looking. Strange dark blotches of who-knows-what mixed in. This I did not take back...I just threw it out. Never shopping there again...I detest rude and unfriendly staff at a business where I'm spending my sparse, fixed income money!

Terrible produce, picked over isles or everything is locked up, then you wait in line for one of two cashiers open. I feel for their staff but separate review! Estudillo is welcoming, wonderfully stocked with the essentials and specialty things like unique spices, meats, local breads and fresh produce. Their shelves seem appropriately stocked with what they know they'll sell to a local clientele. I shopped here the other day having just come from Safeway and I immediately regretted the produce I figured I'd grab while I was at Safeway. Estudillo's green onions or cabbage for example looked so fresh and crisp and delicious. Why does everything at Safeway nowadays seem questionable and already going bad?! Anyways, this market is a gem. I told my husband I want to try to shop here and Galvans and Costco for all of our needs throughout the month. Supporting these local businesses is so important and I hope to stay committed to that! Thanks to all at Estudillo!

Customer service since the pandemic is hardly existent anywhere but many of the employees at this store are a special brand of disappointing. Many of the cashier staff are rude and spend more time talking to each other than they do keeping the line moving. I have encountered a cashier (I believe her name is Nina. Something with a N) at this location several times that is quite possibly the nastiest, most rude customer service representative that I have interacted with in a very long time. Today was no different. Super Bowl Sunday, I went to self check out to find her (Nina?) cradling the paper bags to her chest with both hands, while speaking to us customers like she was the Warden in a prison. "If you need a bag, I have the bags. They are 25 cents. They are not free. Select the option on the screen and I will give you a bag." She repeated these "instructions" several times in a tone that was rude, belittling, and clearly irritable. Her face and body language matched her tone. Unfortunately, someone missed a step and she had to assist them with paying for a bag. To her displeasure, she made her announcements again and included the parting message, "the bags are not free. That is why I said you have to select on the screen. I have made myself very clear." I quickly grabbed my items and left the store because wtf had I just experienced?? This lady is beyond inappropriate. She is angry and hates her job, and seemingly hates us for shopping at this particular location. To Regional Leadership, I challenge you to review the film from Super Bowl Sunday at around 4:20 PM for a front row seat to Nina's negativity and disrespect of your paying customers.
