When I walked in I was greeted by a lady named Tracy whom I assume must be the owner, but let me tell you she was superrrrr sweet and friendly. They had just recently opened so she was in process of labeling the shelves with prices. I'm so HAPPY this place is close to home and they have so many items that are extremely hard to get. This little market is very organized and super clean. They carry all sorts of Asian items to include a variety of seafood items you would NEVER be able to find anywhere. Oh and they also have a variety of produce for any Asian cuisine you would never be able to find in El Paso but ONLY here. I'm 1000% coming back!! Enjoy my pics :)

They have SIRACHAAAA!!!

Although I gasped at the selection of international food items, and my reason for going *cololmbian…read morefoods* I was disappointed at finding that my favorite chocolate in the world was stale and white. The expiration was 2023, but I imagine the heat and improper storage conditions is what must have made them go bad. I've grown up with these chocolates and I can tell how fresh they are by the smell alone. Knowing they had gone bad, I still went ahead and took a bite and the taste was as disappointing as I imagined they would be. They were only 3.99 for a pack so I decided to let it go. Now, had it been the usual 9$ I pay in New York, then I would have rushed back in there for my money. My suggestion to the business, since you obviously can't open and check every single chocolate, open the packs, and sell them individually for 25 or 50 cents a piece. Although you might lose a couple of dollars per pack, @25cents, ($1.49) or make an extra dollar @ 50c it sure beats the bad review and bad feeling for the customer who wasted $4 for stale chocolate. Considering here in Texas, that's half of someone's a hourly wage. Anyway, as far as the business, they have a good selection of Indian spices, some Peruvian spices, some Colombian candy/ which at this point I wouldn't trust, frozen Colombian and Indian foods. It's a good place to visit if you miss wherever you're from, or just want to expand your pallets.

A cashier was talking with a another man, the only 2 people in store, no acknowledgement, no greeting as I walked in, completely ignored by worker. I had to walk navigate around the clutter, finally found quail eggs the fridge it was in was barely cool, date was blank. Took a chance, and took it to the register, the cashier was sitting and texting, ignoring me...I turned to leave, when he finally stood up and rang up the eggs. In middle of transaction, he calls someone to start chatting. He just stood at register, and I stood there, waiting for my change and receipt, took him like 15 seconds, he finally reaches into register to give me my change. Did not tell me "thank you" , he didn't say anything to me, at all. It smells of bad fish and looks depressing, I love my doggy and will do anything for her, but I will NEVER go into this depressing place, again!

I am passing through and when I went in the store almost all the products sold were definitely overpriced. Almost an 80% mark up on a bunch of the items. Some of them are reasonable but others are out of this world. I suspect it's because it's the only Asian store for miles. If you're looking for Asian items I'd recommend checking Walmart or Lowe's first before coming here since you might be able to find it for a significantly lower price. For instance, the buldak ramen is sold at Aikos for 13 dollars but Walmart sells them for 7. Aikos definitely has more variety tho! The owner is nice!
