    Carnitas Super Burrito ( huge burrito, water bottle for comparison.
    Stan M.

    MThis is a great Mexican grocery store with a taqueria in the back, offering plenty of delicious choices. I walked in expecting tacos but left with the biggest burrito I've had in years--easily bigger than a 16.9 oz water bottle! I ordered a Carnitas Super Burrito, which included refried beans, Spanish rice, carnitas, onion, cilantro, cheese, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole (my addition). The burrito was massive, heavy, and absolutely delicious. For under $15, it's a fantastic deal. There are a few tables and chairs for dining inside, which is a nice option. Several people in line several staff members made the line go quickly. Service was excellent. I'll definitely be back!

    I can't believe this

    I can't believe I found a dead inspect inside my food. Today I went thinking that it was going to be great I was eating until I saw there was an inspect inside my food

    Dripping burrito....
    Yolis R.

    Very fast food. Those ladies dont waste time... But they dont take the time to ask what kind of salsa we like. Also, lettuce is soak in water. When they put it in my burrito, I had it dripping all over me.

    Just had 3 pieces of meat so far
    Alfonso B.

    Worst burrito ever, ordered a chile Colorado burrito, 5bites into the burrito, STILL NO MEAT. so far I've had 3 chunks of meat, i get 3/4 into it i get 2 chunks of fat. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

    Yes please...

Not sure why since it's so new but here in lies my biggest issue with save mart. These two particular stores are very close and they are always busy but the old store across from the lake is still vacant. Same happened all over Modesto and this just kills the shops that the old stores used to anchor, why the city let's save mart get away with that makes no sense. The new stores are nice with just about everything you need from bakery, deli, and your usual grocery items. This store has real good service and staff always aim to please. I just noticed today the pineapple coaring machine and the orange juice maker which are cool gadgets to see but not something I would use as I rather make my own. I have to say that the bakery does a really nice job at this store this weekend I tried their 3 leches cake and it was really good. So if I do shop at a supermarket this is the one I come as it is cheaper than their competitors and their service like I said earlier has been pretty consistent and go

Those complaining about the meat not being fresh don't know what they're talking about, unless your standing outside of livestock slaughtering pen, it won't be truly 'Fresh', the fact that meat is brown doesn't mean it's bad meat, that's the way butchered meat normally appears, the red you see is an added dye by the big chains to sell the impression that it's straight out of the cow,pig or what have you, I've worked around slaughter houses enough to know what I'm talking about. They have a good butcher shop and quality product, and their clerks are always ready to be of service to the customer. That's something that one doesn't find much these days.

He said they would have to CHARGE ME $2.50 extra for choosing the ones I would want. This was the second time this ridiculous comment was made; I didn't believe them at first. I proceeded by asking them 'why they are doing this?' They said it comes from the management and that they couldn't do anything about it. I was absolutely disgusted by this type of robbery. This is FRAUD when they are marketing a price and then try to CHARGE me extra for what I am already paying. The customer service was complete GARBAGE! I am paying by the LB! They treated me like I was robbing them for even asking. I will be REPORTING this to the better business bureau as this is a shady practice. The butchers were even mocking me when I was paying at the cash register. They began to laugh and even sing. It is NOT about the money. It is about the PRINCIPLE! This isn't how you run a business. This is shameful and WILL be reported. It is same to assume that I WILL never set foot in this place again and I will only support businesses that care about the customer.
