It's a really really good place I love they're Avacados!!…read moreThey are fresh and way bigger than the other grocery stores...A++++ thank you

This is a very well stocked grocery store. It has a good bit of fruit and even some that I'm not…read moresure what they were. As far as the produce goes, I'd be comfortable buying the peppers, but the rest (on the day I went) were old, some moldy and had a leathery skin appearance and brown bananas. There were cactus leaves, fresh banana leaves and peppers in the cooler. I purchased a couple of poblano peppers for $1.35. I can't find them in Kroger and Walmart has had them in the past, so it's hit or miss finding them when I want them. These were shiny and had no pitted skins. There is a vast selection of herbs and spices, in all forms, rough chopped, minced, tea bag and fresh (wilted today but they are probably generally fresher). As far as the can goods, such as peppers, tomatoes and black beans, they are cheaper at Walmart and for the same brand name. I was really taken aback by the price of a 4 lb bag of regular sugar (no unique brandname, the same as in other stores), they had it priced at $4.19. I did my grocery shopping across the road at Kroger when I left here and I paid $1.89 for 4 lb sugar. The butcher shop area had a rather large selection of meats, ranging from mystery (mystery to me as I didn't recognize the cut and I don't know Spanish well enough to know what the placards said it was) to preseasoned diced meats. I plan to come back for the thin sliced beef to make jerky. It was cut thinner than the butcher at Gardner's could do for me. There were fresh baked breads and buns but no pricing. I will probably grab a bag of buns when I come back for the beef. There are also non-grocery items, such as, cooking vessels, grill for stovetop use, nik-naks, lighters and such.

The lady tried putting my polish sausage on the bun with no gloves on. After failing terribly, she…read moreproceeds to walk my sausage around the building looking for gloves bare handed. I asked for a new one after she gives my that one on top of it being torn all up and being out for a walk and all. She tells me "those are cheap 50 cent buns and if you can do better have at it"! She then throws her hands up and turns around. Undercooked chicken, dirty environment, rude customer service!!! Never again!! These photos is exactly how my food was handed to me. I had already paid and she refused to change it or refund me!

The chicken. My lord the chicken! It is hard to comprehend, that in a town fraught with restaurants…read morethat offer chicken on their menu, how does this grungy old gas station sell so much fried chicken? What makes it so annoying is that, at all hours of the day and night, there are throngs of people in here to buy chicken, but there is NOT a separate register/line dedicated to the chicken purchases. When you pop in just to buy a pack of cigarettes you most likely will have to stand 6 deep in a line, waiting on the clerk to finish dropping chicken in the fryer before returning to the register. You can sometimes smell the old cooking grease wafting through the air as you drive through the intersection. Stomach churning at times. The location of this store makes it very difficult to merge back into the traffic as it is at one very busy intersection. There is a ton of foot traffic from the local neighborhoods. The need for cigarettes (husband) on days/hours the cigarette stores are closed is what keeps me/us popping back in here as much as we do. I've not had the courage to order any chicken but my curiosity will get the better of me one day.
