    Looks like almost all the locals in Hart, MI have lunch here. This place was BUSY! (Even at 2.30pm) They dont have indoor seating. We sat in the outdoor patio that they had, and soaked up in the sun. It is inside a mexican grocery store. Not a fancy place to walk into but the food was authentic Mexican. We were a party of 6 ; two of us had burritos, we also ordered the Bontanas (loaded chips) ; one of us had 3 tacos, and I had the Platos (special for the day) Prices were decent, I would recommend people visit this place if they are in the Area. We were driving back from Silver Lakes to Ludington.

    It doesn't get more authentic. Family owned and I haven't had a bad meal. I always go for what's on special and if it's Mole or Enchiladas..I get extra.

    Really enjoyed my meal. Authentic food. The grilled onion was the star. Gordita was great.

    This restaurant has 5 stars for a reason! The most authentic Mexican food you will ever have! Hidden in the back of the Mexican grocery store is La Probadita. They serve tacos, gorditas, tamales, quesadillas etc. They also make their own homemade salsa. The mild is prettyyy spicy for being "mild" and the hottest one will knock your socks off it's so hot! The grocery store feels like you transported to another country. It has all the Hispanic themed foods such as condiments, snacks, homemade bakery items, etc, Inside the grocery store is also a butcher counter. They have a variety of meats you can take home to cook such as a fajita mixture, chorizo, seasoned beef, etc. There is so much to choose from at the butcher counter and it is so fresh. The restaurant is in the back of the grocery store. There is an entrance in the front of the building and the back of the building and guests can use either entrance. They do have a bathroom but it is not the cleanest. There is free parking in front of the building and in the back of the building. The staff speak both English and Spanish which is helpful. There is no indoor seating but if it's a nice day outside you can walk right around the corner to the Hart Commons or the alley to sit at a picnic table and eat. The pricing is fair and the food is incredibly delicious. Some people say it's the best authentic Mexican food in Michigan! Worth the drive or if you're passing through worth the stop!

    Best fast tacos in Michigan. This place is in a unique location, inside of a grocery store. Definitely a hidden gem! They have amazing chicken tacos and super nice staff! Highly recommend for any Mexican food!!!

    Authentic Mexican. I'm sure you will enjoy. Carnitas in salsa verde is fantastic. Can't wait to visit again.

    Delicious!! We ate tacos and burritos in store and took home fresh fajita beef and chicken for a later time. It was all very good as usual.

Walmart is only about 20 minutes away, but Cherry Hill blows them away! Try the breakfast sausage, it is the only kind we buy! Friendliest staff, GREAT meat, beer, liquor, and for its size Cherry Hill offers a great selection of just about everything from spices & baking needs to fresh or canned fruit & vegetables. They even have a gluten free section. Another thing, most of the prices here are the same as Walmart or only a few cents more. . . Clearly NOT worth the 40 minute round trip drive to save a few cents. Plus, with weekly sales, you just can't beat shopping local Another perk of small town service. . . Here at Cherry Hill, their friendly staff will CARRY YOUR GROCERIES TO YOUR CAR!!!! No matter the weather! Where else does that happen? Not at Walmart or Meijer, that's for sure! So be sure to stop in and tell everyone HI the next time you are in Shelby.

They have a slightly limited selection, but the staff is VERY helpful and friendly. I like going there. I just don't buy very many steaks there. Good selection of beer. No liquor. Some wines. Shelby is very lucky to have this store.

    I went specifically to buy 24 quantity of one item…read more I know they are renovating. But they have 3 employees collecting pay for nothing other than pointing people into the right queue for checkouts. I walked right past them. No way am I going to stand at self-check long enough to wait for the scanner to reset between items while I ring up 24 identical barcodes. The woman follows me into the queue, staring into my cart. "You could use the self-checks with fewer customers waiting." "You could open a register and use the quantity button and I'd be out of your way," I told her. Of course, she went back to staring at others who have the audacity to think someone paid by the store should scan and bag their items. I get my receipt and head to the door. 2 gatekeeers BOTH SITTING DOWN, neither is particularly close to the door. Neither has a cast, walker, cane... they are just sitting. So as I flip my receipt showing I checked out with a human and paid, to the one closer to the door, she says something about needing to see but I was already out the door because my hands/arms were full and it was clear neither of them felt the need to get off their seats. I would love to say this is a fluke. The truth is, this location has never been a good experience, since they first built it. The remodeling seems to be with the goal "we can make it even worse" and there are zero employees who care about the company. I usually go to Meijer, but, I got my annual dose of the Ludington WalMart and expect that will be enough for a long time.
