Very unique grocery store. It reminded me of the early health food stores. The meat selection was…read moregreat. Really fresh looking chicken. They had that real fresh butchered color. Also saw bison and venison. The workers were friendly. I was able to pickup some vegan marshmallows. Not the easiest item to find at a regular grocery store. I use them for vegan desserts. My daughter has a plant based diet. A lot of people were shopping, so the clientele must not mind paying the higher prices.

We stopped by this market for a deli sandwich on our way out to the beach and they did not…read moredisappoint. We tried two of their signature sandwiches, the Classic Deli and the Talking Turkey although they do have an option to build your own. The rye bread for the Talking Turkey was so good, the Brie combination with the cranberry sauce was amazing. The classic deli is everything you want from a deli sandwich! Service was fast and the market itself has a lot of great options of premade salads, sushi and sandwiches. I tried their Kale salad with cranberries, pickled onions and walnuts, so good!

We love Fircrest!…read more Not only do we appreciate a locally owned market, but we REALLY appreciate a locally owned market with great produce--and Fircrest always has great produce, specifically, great avocados! in the near decade that we've been shopping there, we've gotten only ONE subpar avocado. can you believe that? Oh, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the corn and the artichokes, which are always up there with their primo avocado quality! Fircrest is nearly worth it just for the avocado alone, but we've purchased lots of items there and appreciate that it's so close to home, so it's great when we just need a few more items to make dinner! They, also, have some really good beer!

Awesome produce and deli...most of the staff are so friendly and helpful…read more Went today though and the cashier "Linda G" (says on the receipt) was being very odd and judgmental about me trying to buy some damn Jiffy Pop as a fun little thing for my kiddos who were with me . She kept telling me I should be making popcorn from scratch. Like, please mind your own business lady, it's Jiffy Pop?? Not like it was any of her concern but we usually do make it from scratch. I was so confused what the heck was happening because she was dead serious and like, wouldn't drop it until I awkwardly had to change the subject and leave? It made me really uncomfortable. Chill out Linda! I don't want to have to justify my purchases, makes me feel weird about going back.

The best carne asada tacos starts with the meat. The cut of beef is skirt steak or "arrachera."…read more The meat should have three qualities: 1. It should be fresh. This can be seen as a bright red appearance that looks fresh and clean (see both photos). 2. It should be marbled with streaks of fat. This can be seen as the white streaks in the photos. 3. It should be cut thin. When you grill it over charcoal it cooks quickly but also has lots of surface area to pick up that classic smoky flavor that only comes with real charcoal. You don't need to marinate a steak of this quality. It only needs a touch of salt for the carne asada that melts in your mouth. Slice it against the grain in 4-inch-long strips by 1\2 inch wide. Then add from this store's refrigerated section the fresh dark green salsa, fresh sliced cilantro, chopped onions, a slice of avocado, a bit of lime juice and you are done. Use homemade Maseca corn tortillas for best results. Back 10 years ago you could get 8 little tacos from the truck or taqueria for about $7.00. Now due to rising restaurant supply prices those same 8 little tacos from the truck or taqueria costs about $25.00! Why not use that $25.00 and get 2.5 lbs. of steak and make 20-24 little tacos that taste way better charcoal grilled with homemade tortillas. I checked other Mexican stores and carnicerias in Santa Rosa but if you want the best arrachera at the best price, it can only be from this Carniceria Mendoza.

(Ong choy, pea sprouts, Gai Lan etc.) I can without a doubt say the vegetables here are fresher than you would find in any 99 Ranch or supermarket in the Bay Area chinatowns. Prices are also very reasonable. Staff behind the register is friendly and polite. Store is very small and aisles are narrow but the store is well stocked with a good variety of ingredients and noodles for both the advanced or lazy cook.

They feature many local products which is great for our economy. There are also many multicultural (like Italian and Japanese) delights. My son asked me to go to this place and I thought it was a dispensary so initially I said no. It turns out there is also a dispensary named sweet spot, but this place is a bodega. I only included that in case anyone was hesitant about coming here. You don't have to be. It's totally safe and clean and for all ages.

I recently took a 3 hour cooking class with a private Indian chef. She directed me to this place for my future culinary ingredient adventures. The selection in the 100 square feet of package goods, frozen goods, bottled goods is not utterly comprehensive, but adequate to prepare a modest Indian meal. The impressive selection of many different rices in 20 - 40 pound bags is eye opening. I walked out with 10 items. Mostly grains, lentils, chickpeas, etc.. A bag of crunchy snacks, some frozen breads and samosas. All the items are imported, surprisingly a couple of items are made in Canada. Prices are moderate. Be aware that no fresh produce, meats nor fishes are available. The folks are friendly. Oh, the fried chicken looked and smelled delectable. When I come back without my health conscious wife I'll eat some.

I was able to purchase Indian spices and seasonings at low prices, and they had almost everything I needed.

I'll be back but not for a while, as our kitchen is now well stocked.
