Let's talk about VALUE. Metcalfs by most food estimation. Is a "premium" grocery store. They get…read moreby on high priced good compared to their completion . One would assume they can do this by offering better quality goods and higher service. That being said. I find the store lacking. I often will go to the deli counter on lunch hour to get a half a pound of salad . Fine. The man they have working the counter has his unique thing he does that makes me physically ill. He basically "hocks a luggie" in his throat. I'm sorry. That's just disgusting. I won't delve deeply beyond that on him other then to say while he "gets the job done" he's does so with the absolute minimum in personality . Why have someone at a service counter who can't be "friendly" with customers. I really question the management because I'm sure they are fully aware. At least they SHOULD be. So that being said I went there today to get my lunch and a couple of other things. Business as usual. I didn't hear him clean his phlegm today so I felt really lucky. So I get to the front and they have lines and I go to self check out. Fine. I quickly scan my stuff and attempt to pay. The register asks if o want cash back, so I say yes! Of course I would! Then I see that they have these posted signs that say no cash back. So the machine has a melt down. I wait a couple of moments . And this middle aged woman ...with gray mid length hair comes up behind me to "help". She doesn't greet me or apologize she proceeds to scold me. And I defend my self and say , well the machine said I could , apologizing. I really didn't care if I could get cash I just did cuz the machine asked. So I'm like that's confusing for the customer to this woman. And she starts pushing back at me and I simply said" well, let's fix and move on". I just wanted to get though to move on in my day, cuz you know, I have to make money to pay the high prices at Metcalfs. At that point she took offense and said "you don't have to talk to me like that". And I got confused. "Fix it and move on" apparently is a foreign concept for the folks at Metcalfs. Okay. So at that point I'm done. I talk her to let it go . I thank her and tell her to have a nice day and I won't be back. I at that point leave and head elsewhere for lunch, I got Chipotle . Fair. As it was I decided to call the store and let them know ...the manager ... Chris ...who seemed very distracted and busy on the phone. So I think it's fair to say also not focused on the customer experience. I let him in on my experience. He apologized and asked me to return . I told him , no thanks. As it turns out the transaction did go though and the manager had to call me back to come retrieve my monies . Which I am loathe to do. You know as consumers we all have choices and we make those choices on something called "value". That equation is essentially a comparison analysis of price and perceived benefits . At this , based on prior and today's experience, Metcalfs fails. They get by on pretense over substance. I will not be retuning.

You enter the store area, which has a pretty dolid selection of Mexican stock. We grabbed several beloved snack for the road after eating. On to the back, where the small restaurant is. Follow your nose, as you'll be met with the aroma of deliciousness on entry. The staff working the counter only spoke Spanish, with a few English words & my Spanish isn't great, while the hubby's is non-existent. We did some charades to get through ordering, with questions like "How many tamales are in an order of tamales?" completely escaping my abilities until I sat down... performance anxiety perhaps- meh. We all got through it & I'll feel motivated to practice now. The tacos were delicious. I do mean DELICIOUS. They were well-seasined, juicy, flavorful, drippy, crunchy, tender... all the good things at once. The tamal was ok - the filling was fabulous but the masa was dry & crumbly. If I'd only gotten it, I would have been a bit disappointed. Without it, I'd be popping a 5 here. Prices were reasonable & I've already recommended a few locals swing in to try em out. Note: The rideshare from the airport was about $16

My two pastor and one steak tacos were overflowing with yummy goodness and I was definitely full afterwards! It's so nice that you can order tacos a la carte (or you can go the full meal and get the rice and beans etc, but I never eat them) for a reasonable price. I did squeeze my limes over the tacos, but they were so good as is I didn't even sample the salsas they brought to the table. It was the start of my day so I didn't get to enjoy an adult beverage, but certainly plan to be back again.

My previous view was based hugely upon the poor customer experience that I had endured. But two weeks ago I returned because I was seriously craving a taco and the other nearby place had finally convinced me they were second rate. (I wrote a small bit, about that location, not more than a couple weeks back. I won't name it, but I rather hope these words will be taken to heart and affect change) But upon my reentry to this place I was beyond pleasantly surprised. Eduardo, the owner whom I have since met, is the reason why I have returned. An active and dedicated team needs their captain. So trying to reimagine the perfect taco place I had a fresh mindset and I think I was accurate about that choice. Today marks the 6th time in roughly 2 weeks. Basic ground beef tacos with onions, cilantro and some lime. Cheap and delicious. Absolutely not a bastardized low fat gringo taco. Not at all. Heavy on the filling and tasty. It's only missing one ingredient: spice. The orders include a pair of sauces, a green and red plastic cup with something resembling a hot sauce. Tuesday is a $1 ground beef taco. Sparse but not lacking in the meat. So glad I tried again. Eduardo has a key quality that makes a place feel welcoming. Friendly, and informative about the foods that are available. I don't speak Spanish, aside from simple jargon that every English speaker has to have as their basic vocabulary, even in regular American speak day to day situations. The place vibrates with a lot of ethnic authenticity right here in my Middleton neighborhood where I've lived now for 15 of my 25 years in Wisconsin.
