    I live right up the street from here. I came here a month ago because I heard how awesome the carne asada was. Well, hello Coronavirus! I've been looking for tp the entire week and couldn't find anything. Found it here. I love this market. I ended up with a package of tp (thank you!!!). But I also went shopping to support this place. I bought a pound of carne asada, the everything that's delicious that goes with it, some homemade tortillas and some rice pudding popsicles. Now, I'm a gringa ( lololo), but don't let that fool you. I grew up in a mexican restaurant where my mom was a manager for over 20 years. I know good carne asada when I taste it. It's the best. The produce is the best. The people that work there are the best! Xoxoxoxo Love you guys!!!

    Local market for fresh vegetables, carniceria & other staple Mexican foods (fresh salsa & guac made in tubs). Love their marinated carne asada & marinated chicken for homemade tacos! Also has a juice bar & paleteria (popsicles). Love their green juice.

    Roasted Brussels sprout tostada with Tomatillo Chermoula, chorizo and al pastor: meats and ingredients for the tostadas sourced here.

    It's my first visit to Vons since they closed down the store I shopped at in Bixby Knolls…read more This store is located on a busy street with very limited parking. On any given day when I drive by I see a lot of random people hanging out loitering and dancing or they appears to be in their own world if you get my drift. It's one of the main reasons I haven't stopped by this location. No worries they have security guards and are well staffed. At times It's a little unkempt in front and the immediate area but the inside of the store is large well stocked and very tidy. Upon entering I immediately like what I see the store is packed with people kind smiling faces and aisle upon aisle of specialty items foods and such that makes my day and I grab a few things from every aisle that I visit. I'm obsessed with soo many things I have to be careful not spending too much money. BelGioioso Provolone Cheese And Genoa salami snacking rolls. It was delicious. 10/10 Mango cheesecake It wasn't very tasty the cheesecake was dry and flavorless the mango topping surprisingly didn't taste fresh or fruity. 4/10 I tossed it. Casamigos Reposado Tequila A gift for my daughter. 10/10 $70 Tillamook Dark Cherry Ice cream. Rich and creamy flavor but this batch had hardly any cherries. 8/10 Eggnog Store brand thick and rich I'm glad I bought some this year. 8/10 Chamoy pickle. Bought for my daughter. 8/10 They have a sandwich area for fresh made sandwiches the menu looks amazing I'll come back to try one including a pack of French butter. I am so glad I gave this location a visit the store is really nice and the staff are cool and helpful as well. It's my new favorite store. Until next time it's just me Shawn C.

Customer Service said the attendant would be back shortly. I waited 15 minutes and decided to fill it myself. So ridiculous it's comical...

I recently grabbed a turkey sandwich on a hoagie roll and a slice of lemon bundt cake (my payment for doing a social activity.)

I had already shopped at this store earlier in the morning and the day before with no issues, so I did not expect any problems. Everything was fine until it was time to check out. When I attempted to pay, my card was not working properly. As soon as I informed Coby that I was having trouble with my card, he became visibly annoyed and angry. Instead of offering help or trying to resolve the issue, he immediately took an aggressive and hostile tone. I calmly asked if there was another way to process the payment or if I could manually enter my card information, but he yelled at me and said he "can't do that" and that I needed to leave. Rather than assisting me or calling someone who could help, he put my groceries on the floor, refused to continue the transaction, and repeatedly told me to leave the store because my card was not working. He made it very clear that he did not want me there and had no interest in helping, even though customer service should be part of his job. When I asked to speak to a supervisor or manager, he dismissively told me that he was the supervisor, leaving me with no other option. His behavior was humiliating, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. Other employees have helped me in similar situations before without any issue, but instead of helping, Coby chose to yell at me and force me out of the store. This experience made me feel disrespected and unwelcome, and it seriously reflects poorly on the store. No customer should be treated this way simply because of a temporary payment issue. Also keep in mind I've been coming to this Ralph's for over 7 years NEVER had such an rude experience ever since tonight Coby needs to be retrained or informed basic polite customer service this is absolutely unacceptable.

They also have lots of prepared self-service hot foods and a poke bar if you want a meal to go. My favorite thing here are their fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, priced at $3.75. They sell so many of them, that they're constantly putting out fresh batches. I've come in four times this year for it and it's been hot and fresh every time! I find that outstanding as I've been to stand alone bakeries with cookies that weren't as fresh as they are here. The cookie is massive and has high quality ingredients you can taste. It's as good of a chocolate cookie as you can find anywhere. Come get some, because if they keep up the high turnover, then I can keep eating them hot and fresh!
