This supermarket is our fave Mexican market and carniceria in Seattle we have been coming here for…read morethe last two years consistently, we're here every few months to stock up on key ingredients we can't easily find in the city: Papaya, Nopales, Knorr Chicken Flavor Granulated Bouillon (Consommé--it's pricier at Safeway/QFC, etc..), religious candles, dried Chile de Arbol and Guajillo, Maria's cookies/crackers, Tomatillos, Tapatío, Yucateco, Valentina, Chamoy, and Abuelitas hot chocolate tablets. Also, other things, but those are the staples. [they have yummy pan dulce, cakes and desserts, and all the chips you can dream of, some imported from MX Direct] The location could be better, but they have a private lot, and we haven't had any issues in the two-plus years of coming here. Most items are reasonably priced, and the folks here are helpful and welcoming. There could be seedy characters around, but most mind their business. We tried a few other markets closer to our neighborhood, but their selections weren't as good as Castillos. Castillos has most things you can dream of and their carniceria is also bomb, we've tried most meats here, they're pretty high quality. The only con here is the price of the meats, but it's understandable that since they're a small market, they're less competitively priced than the larger grocers. Also, I don't want to hurt their reputation by getting into the details; all I will mention is to be very careful with the Chorizo. Make sure you chew it thoroughly and inspect it carefully while cooking.

The food is consistently…read moreexcellent, the service is phenomenal, and the welcoming atmosphere makes it a place we find ourselves recommending again and again. We hosted our gender reveal party here, and the team went above and beyond to make the event special. It's a fantastic venue for large gatherings, celebrations, and families with children of all ages. The staff is attentive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in creating a great experience for their guests. One of our favorite features is the patio. Whether it's a warm summer evening or a chilly winter night, the outdoor space is comfortable thanks to the heaters and inviting ambiance. The food speaks for itself. The pasta and pizza are made from scratch, and you can absolutely taste the difference in every bite. The Rigatoni is an absolute must-order, and whatever special is being featured that day is almost guaranteed to be a winner. The kitchen clearly takes pride in using quality ingredients and preparing everything with care. If you're looking for a family-friendly restaurant with incredible food, outstanding service, and a great space for celebrations, G.H. Pasta & Pizza should be at the top of your list.

Jake and Becky are knowledgeable tour guides and fun even for those of us who visit the Market regularly. Continue on a short walk up to Jason Wilson's Miller's Guild restaurant. Prepare to be amazed as you sit at the chef's counter in front of a blazing wood fired grill where Jason keeps up a fun and enlightening banter as he cooks up a multi course meal for you. Several appetizer courses are served up at the counter and then everyone moves to the dining room for the main courses and dessert. My husband and I were on the first of these events (unbeknownst to us when we signed up) and it went off flawlessly. This is an intimate event so we got to know our fellow diners which was fun too. The menu will vary for each event so don't know what you will have, but we enjoyed salmon tartar, oysters on the half shell, mushroom goat cheese bruschetta, roasted mussels with Merguez sausage, grilled salmon, pork roast and a delicious pear/apple dessert. My descriptions don't really do the menu justice because, after all, the guy cooking up this dinner is a James Beard and Food & Wine award winner. The "stump the chef" bit was fun where we selected an item at the Market for Jason to prepare that would be a surprise for him -- just to see what he would do with it. We chose goose eggs with the stipulation "you can't just scramble them". Jason sawed those raw eggs in half, stirred up a delicious truffle flan with the innards, and then baked it back in the egg shells. Creative and fun! This event (I can't just call it a tour and meal...) is a good value since you get the market tour (fun even for lifelong Seattleites), a cocktail before the meal and a couple of glasses of paired wine with the meal as well as a couple of really fun hours with Jason and his staff. We plan to go back!

The shoes, white short sleeve button up shirt with a blue tie and navy blue or black slacks to match! I was a courtesy clerk at 16 when there was etiquette, training and most definitely strict representation of the store's brand! No matter who you asked from the bagger to the manager, if they worked there, they knew where literally everything was located and if something was out of stock! Nowadays I get a lot of confused looks or "I don't know" and they walk off without attempting to assist! Nowadays you're lucky if you can find 1 committed, hard-working courtesy clerk at any store! To...I digress, let's get it! I initially ordered their 4 piece for $5 and a 1/2 lb of JoJo's. The 1st associate was very welcoming, sincere and thoughtful when picking out the 4 pieces. She'd just saved me a coupon and a trip to kfc for a $5 2 piece meal! As I was leaving there was a man at the door asking for change for food, I searched my pockets and found nothing so I said that I had nothing, he thanked me anyway. I went to my truck to see if I had any change there, I didn't so I went and gave the man my 4 piece and JoJo's and went back inside and ordered another for myself...this was the other associate. I ordered the same thing and she gathered it but not taking time to check the food for what's freshest and what's not like the previous associate had done. I came home and immediately regretted not saying anything; over 1/2 the jojo's were hard and stale! The pieces of chicken she choose weren't any better! Some weren't even hot, but they're all sitting in the warmer together so how is that?! It's the end of the day, I get it. It's a busy mother's Day, I get it. Customer satisfaction is your job...Get it?! Do Better!! To the initial associate: Thank you for your dedicated service! The man in need got some well selected fresh chicken for dinner and I'm grateful for that!

The looked really good, and at $5.00 for four it felt like good deal, plus it had weight, which is good. What is not good is the flavor. Blech. Although I have been a chef for over 40 years, I can be honest in my judging. These stuffed clams had all stuffing, like a poorly made crab cake mix. It was loaded with panko but no evidence of clams. Way too much salt. Horrible. No wonder they were so cheap. Funny thing is, I left them outside my place where the Seagulls tore them up. Matlaws is therefore bird food IMHO. Never again. I could have taken them back, but it was only $5.00. Not worth my time. Additionally, Safeway has removed the review feature, so there was no way to share my honest experience on their website. Many other customers expressed the same frustration on Reddit, where they put their food reviews by proxy. Amazon, Fred Meyer and others have a review feature, because future customers depend on those to see whether or not a product is worth buying. Safeway, bring your review feature back, because I will not be back to your store.
