    Menudo!
    Shannon M.

    So Good! Brilliant idea today asking my husband to pick up the Beef Stew soup to go. It was delicious & exactly all we wanted and more! The service was quick too. Nice big pieces of meat to break down into the tacos and still have plenty in the soup. Super tender meat. The place is fine to eat inside and kept clean but enjoying this at home today was perfect. Will definitely be doing this more often! Price is great for the amount of food you get and the authentic taste.

    Chili Relleno!

    Best Mexican food in Florida by far! Always come when we are Lake Wales! Never disappointed!

    Not much ambiance. Have been here several times. Order at a window in back of store. Find a seat and they'll bring you your food which is authentic Mexican with generous portions. Refried beans are phenomenal. Rice is average. Breakfast burrito was as big as your head and loaded. Flavors of sauces and sides are great. My only complaint was the enchilada chicken filling was very dry and stringy. My friend's marinated pork burrito was great. Overall I would recommend to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food. Just be prepared for the experience.

    Asada Fries

    So good the food was so good and I loved the tortes and asada fries. The service was so good. And don't get me started on the ambiance.

    Steak burrito and Ria.

    I am a Marine. Been to 14 countries and 24 states. Been around the world twice. LITERALLY. Was stationed in Southern California for many years. Trust me when I say this place is the best Mexican food this side of the Mississippi!!! Everything on the menu is AMAZING!!! Even what is not on the menu. I usually just walk up to the counter and say " surprise me " and they make me food that they make their families. Like I have sat down at their table. I have been coming here for YEARS and have never had a bad experience. FYI it is not your normal restaurant. You walk in and it's a convenience store. In the back is the kitchen. You order at the window and have a seat after you get your drink from the choices in the refrigerators all over the store. They bring you the food and when you are done you show them what you drank and pay cash at the kitchen or CC at the counter on your way out. Try the beef stew!! Take the beef out of the stew and shred it and put it back in. Use the tortillas rolled up to dip into the hot sauce and eat it at your leisure

    Asada Burrito that even included chunks of avocado! Yummy!

    Twenty-two four and five-star reviews without a single negative review for this tiny place! Yelpers love this privately-owned Mexican joint and I agree! Atmosphere- You enter by going through a store that focuses on Hispanic items. Walk on through and the very clean restaurant is in the back. Walk up to the window to place your order. While you are waiting, scan the huge number of coolers for something to drink. In addition to soft drinks, if you look carefully, there is a small selection of beer. Payment is the honor system and you won't receive a check. Just walk up to the cashier and tell them what you enjoyed. Food- The menu board above the order window does not display the full range of food available. Ask for a menu and all the usual Mexican items are available. Much has been said about the Asada Burritos, so I choose he steak version for a little over six bucks. Man, oh man was it good! One of the best I have ever had. The wonderful grill flavor hit me first and there was tons of steak! Much to my surprise and delight there were some nice big chunks of avocado included. It was very heavy with great ingredients and I was stuffed. If you are tired of the chains and want great casual and authentic Mexican, this is the place for you!

    Location seemed clean, tables were wiped down & no bad smells. Ordered enchiladas & steak tacos. Took a little over 30 minutes for to go order. Tacos were good, needed some salsa, but still good. Enchiladas weren't so good. Chicken was dry & salty. Beans & rice with the enchilada dinner were great.

No where did it say spicy had no idea until my daughter said Mom these are hot and later broke out in hives. I called them and ask for a manager and kept being transferred to a number not working then asked for the meat dept something, finally called back and a man named Frank answered and was not concerned just said we will give you your money back. I asked him if they were going to fix there labels he said we will discuss it internally. I will never shop there again not the same Greens as the old owners. I loved the tenders and the old store. Not anymore. No customer service or care that my daughter got sick.

    We have been searching for a butcher shop here in Winter Have. it's like searching for a needle in…read morea haystack. A friend of ours from Ohio asked if we ever tried Green's Market? You'll love it! Wow were they ever right. We spent almost an hour in the store looking at some great deals on every type of cuts imaginable. All top quality meat. Plus the butcher is very accommodating to your needs. Cutting, grinding and preparing meats for you. While you're there check out the vegetables. Huge selection of potatoes, tomatoes, onions, peppers you name it and they most likely have it. From the butchers to the checkout ladies, all are very friendly. I ordered something I haven't had since moving down here and that's "Minute Steaks." Never heard of them? Ask the butcher about them. You'll be glad you did!

    This review is for the Deluxe Seafood Salad and the Meat Department…read more I have tried other grocery store brand Seafood Salad - and by far Publix have the best tasting one. You cannot taste the "mayo" it has a slight sweet taste to the "mayo" cream in it. You can barely taste the tangy taste of the mayo. This is a deluxe seafood salad so it has more than Krab meat (surimi) - It has baby shrimps in it along with bits of celery. Slight of bits of red onions but barely in there. But the taste of this seafood salad is delicious. Its great paired with crackers and eat it like a dip. As far as the meat department - I come here often for steaks, pork chops, pork ribs. The meat selection here and the taste for me is better than Costco. It is pricier because its not bulk but the taste and quality makes up for it. They offer butcher slicing when requested. I often ask for this service for ribs that I need cut through the bones to cook for stews or soups. They only lack customer service in the meat butcher area depends on who is the butcher. But most of the time - They offer kind services for your request.

    So came to the sushi location at 6:30 and asked kindly if they were making anymore California rolls…read moreand the guy said nope even though they weren't closed and didn't care to offer. His attitude was that of... don't care, leave me alone and don't bother me. They love to overcharge at Publix but the one thing my daughter enjoys from Publix is their California rolls. Will be the last time I shop at this rude, I don't care location which by the way sells expired Kraft Mac and cheese boxes. Publix loves to charge 2-3 times the price for items that are expired. I would give 0 stars if I could but yelp doesn't care to allow for the real reviews
