CUIDADO CON LAS CARNE ASADA PRE-SAZONADA Y CORTADA…read more Permítanme comenzar diciendo que esta tienda tiene una gran variedad de carnes y cortes. Sin embargo, eviten ciertos cortes y tipos de carne. Compré un par de libras de lomo de cerdo y carne asada precortada y sazonada para tacos esta semana. Debería haber confiado en mis instintos, pero he comprado carne con algunos trozos de grasa antes. Hoy, sin embargo, estaba haciendo los tacos de asada e inspeccioné minuciosamente la carne antes de ponerla en la sartén. ¡La mitad de la carne que compré era grasosa! Nuevamente, entiendo que un poco de grasa agrega sabor, pero la cantidad de grasa en dos libras de carne era simplemente excesiva. Parece que se mezclaron fragmentos de grasa con carne normal. Fue ridículo. Pasé la siguiente media hora sacando los trozos gordos. Una vez más, esta tienda tiene una gran selección de carnes y cortes, y aunque estoy segura de que algunos son mejores que otros, ¡no era así! La tienda también se mantiene bastante ocupada, no hay problema, solo compartiendo, y aunque tienen muchos productos de comida mexicana, los pasillos están muy juntos y las filas para la caja registradora pueden ser confusas. ---------------- BEWARE OF PRE-SEASONED AND CUT CARNE ASADA MEATS Let me start by saying that this shop has a wide variety of meats and cuts. I would, however, avoid certain cuts and types of meat. I bought a couple pounds of pork loin and pre-cut and seasoned carne asada for tacos this week. I should have trusted my instincts, but I've bought meat with some chunks of fat before. Today, however, I was making the asada tacos and thoroughly inspected the meat before putting it in the pan. Half of the meat I bought was fatty! Again, I understand that a little fat adds flavor, but the amount of fat in two pounds of meat was simply excessive. It appears that shards of fat were mixed in with regular meat. It was ridiculous. I spent the next half hour picking the fat chunks out. Again, this shop has a large selection of meats and cuts, and while I'm sure some are better than others, this was not it! Also, the store can get crowded, and while they have a lot of Mexican food products, the aisles are very close together, and the lines to the register can be confusing.

Two words Asada Fries. Freaking amazing. I had heard about these and thought about trying them for…read morequite some time. Finally tried them today and all I can say is "where have these been all my life." Maybe the best and simplest part are the fries, but they are easy to mess up. They aren't using frozen pre-made fries from Sysco. These looked fresh cut and were the perfect compliment for all the amazing toppings. They do take 20 minutes so give yourself some time. They wait will be worth it. This was hands down one of the 10 best things I have eaten, ever. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

It is a huge disgrace to write this review; but here it goes…read more.. I went in to purchase their ribs to grill; I asked the butcher for twelve ribs pointed at the ones I wanted. 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. SHAME ON LA CHIQUITA FOR TRYING TO EXPLOIT THEIR CUSTOMERS AND PROVIDE BELOW AVERAGE CUSTOMER SERVICE. ZERO STARS

A couple months back I was charged for something I didn't purchase. It was for something that was over $40 and luckily I noticed within 10 minutes or so after leaving so I wasn't too far. But I got no apology. Most recently I feel like the quality of some of the things has gone down. This is the second time I've bought something frozen and had it been freezer burned. Specifically one of the tteokbokki frozen packages. I'll have to look elsewhere for it. Everyone there seems nice so hoping it gets better.

So I finally came in to buy some meat and I bought some carne asada arrachera meat and they…read moreactually cut it fresh as I ordered it. This is the best way to buy meat because most of the time butchers at the store have it presliced and prepackaged and the juices (blood) drains if the meat and it no longer tastes fresh. I threw it on the grill and seasoned it and it was the best carne asada I've ever tasted. So I highly recommend you buy your meat here. If you don't see what you want in the cold case, don't be discouraged and tell him what you want and more than likely they will have it. I'm talking about steaks that you want to grill for carne asada. Enjoy!

The market is typical for the area. The owners and staff speak English, as well as Spanish. These…read moreowners have only been there some years. Not the old owner. What makes it special; is the new & improved meat counter & produce area. Fabulous!! They take special orders for the meats & fish that they carry. Love that! Their meat and fish dept is on par, price-wise, with major supermarkets, most of the time. I might pay $.40 a pound, more for catfish in season, but the price doesn't change out of season. Year-round, it's the same. (I'd buy fish here before I would at Save-Mart or O'Briens!!) I also don't have to drive 7 miles down the road for the $.40 cheaper per pound, price, for frozen stuff. Gas costs! I definitely don't have to put up with fish that doesn't look or taste as well as what I buy locally. I can examine each and every piece of meat or fish that I buy there. No packages hiding huge pieces of fat underneath or smelly fish. If anyone has a problem with the butcher part of the store, no worries. They take great pride in the meats & fish that are carried now. I have actually been told, once, that I could not buy the poultry that I wanted, as it wasn't fresh enough. I bypass supermarket fish, catfish & produce to purchase from here. You can not beat it for taste and price. Owners are very friendly and very helpful. Staff speaks fluent English as well.

Wondered in here after having dinner at Betty's Kabobs. Wow! What a great surprise. I found foods I…read morehad not seen in years. The selection was amazing and the prices were reasonable. I love Turkish delight, but Amazon has been the only place I have found the flavors I enjoy. I don't buy it often because of the price. I found exactly what I wanted in Babylon Market for a much better value. I also found a good selection of dates, something I use for cooking quite a bit. The store is well stocked and nicely organized. There is only one checkout counter, and the store was busy when I was there, but everyone was friendly, even the other customers. The lady in front of me had a full cart, but when she saw I only had a few items, she waved me ahead of her. So nice and very appreciative. I can't wait to go back when I have more time to spend in the store.

They also have a frozen section with a sparse selection of frozen stuff, including ice cream. I was happy to see they had frozen suman. Had all the different sauces, spices, drinks, ramen--- you name it. The store is small and the aisles are very narrow. It really promotes getting in and out quick. I don't linger too long. There isn't much change to the place too, so have an idea of what you want, get it, pay for it, and go. The market isn't anywhere near the level of 99 Ranch, so don't get unrealistic expectations. But it has all the core ingredients one needs to make a variety of Asian dishes. I am glad this market is in Modesto because otherwise I have to drive all the way to the Bay Area for ingredients.
