I heard they were a very good meat market, but I was even more excited when I learned that they also have restaurant inside the store. I am such a food whore. At any rate, for breakfast, I ordered the "Huevos a la Mexicana" with a side a corn tortillas. The Mexican scramble came with chopped serrano peppers, onions, and tomatoes, not to mention a side of beans and rice for $13.49 plus tax. The scramble also comes topped with a couple of slices of Mexican Panels Cheese. I did like that! The eggs were well scrambled with all the ingredients and well seasoned. They definitely did not hold back on any of the ingredients, especially the fresh hot peppers. As a results, the scrambled a good heat, just the way my father would of liked it. I liked it, too. Both the rice and beans were very good. The beans were fantastic and the rice was well prepared and cooked to the right texture, but they could of used a little more seasoning. I used the locally made corn tortillas to make breakfast tacos with the scramble and the tasty hot sauce they offered. Every body was super friendly at this hybrid meat market and eatery. Did I mention they have a meat counter here, too? It's a cool little hidden gem in El Cajon.

I came in here last week because I needed two onions and didn't want to stand in a long line at food 4 less just for that . So I said I'd give them a try and see if they treated their customers better . To my surprise I was greeted with friendly And helpful faces . The complete opposite of how I was treated 2 years ago here . I gotta say their chips and Guacamole are absolutely delicious . Best I've had from a Mexican market . When I came back today for more I was helped out by a lovely young lady . She answered all my questions and helped me pick out a good meat . We got to talking and she told me she and her family are the new owners and they've owned the place for a year now . Because I haven't been here in years I had no idea how awesome this place is .

Fantastic variety, questionable food quality, and a lovely bakery and cooking area…read more As a foreigner to middle eastern food, I actually really loved this place a lot. I had thought I wouldn't find a good place in San Diego when I first moved here, but I gotta say I was impressed. The only thing keeping me from a 4/5 star review was the cashier person didn't seem like they knew what they were doing and plain grumpy, and the green vegetables do not look all that fresh. But I will be coming back in a week or two and I'm sure my impressions will boost this rating, see you soon!

I was a little bummed that they didn't have ground lamb so I had to go somewhere else, but other than that, they had a pretty wide variety of meats and seafood. The cooked food prices looked very reasonable for the amount of food that came with the dishes. The employees were friendly and helped me locate the items I was looking for. It was pretty busy in there and a little bit hectic, but still a good experience.

It sounded good but we also weren't really feeling like going "out" and something that could be delivered or that we could pick up seemed like the better play. All the typical poke places showed up when we searched but none of them really sold us. Well, good thing I remembered that Valley Farm's poke game is strong... really strong. Believe me, I know that those of you who don't know Valley Farm will likely say "really?" when I detail that this sleepy little Spring Valley market kicks out poke as good as anywhere else in SD, but it's true. It's a sleeper of a choice but the quality and price will make you a fan, trust me.

Valley Farms Market is one of San Diego's hidden gems. From the moment you walk in, you can feel…read morethe difference. The store is clean, beautifully organized, and filled with high-quality products you don't always find at larger chain grocery stores. What I love most is their fresh selection, especially the produce, specialty items, and unique gourmet finds. Everything looks vibrant and carefully displayed. You can tell they take pride in what they offer. They also have a full butcher shop with everything you could desire. The selection is impressive, and it's wonderful knowing you can get high-quality cuts prepared fresh right there in the store. It adds such a personalized, old-fashioned market feel that you just don't see everywhere anymore. Another favorite of mine is their fresh-pressed cold juice blends, which I absolutely love. They taste incredibly fresh, and you can truly tell the difference in quality. It's such a treat to grab one while shopping. The staff has always been friendly, helpful, and welcoming. It truly feels like a neighborhood market where customer service still matters. Whether I am picking up everyday essentials or something special for a gathering, I know I will find something wonderful here. If you appreciate quality, variety, and a pleasant shopping experience, Valley Farms Market is definitely worth a visit. I always leave happy!

Locally made Hot Sauce that it sure to leave a "ring of fire"…read more Ring of Fire was being demo'd at Bates Nut Farm today and I was sold after the first dipped cracker. First off this is a little different Habanero sauce than I'm used to. I'm used to the bright orange stuff they sell at the grocery stores. This has more of a finely blended salsa texture. The ingredients are vinegar, tomato, onions, habanero, garlic, serrano, spices, salt, and sugar. What does this all mean? A great Dipping sauce! Also good on mac-n-cheese and mixing in with salsa. - Something locally made that would make a great gift.

I've been ordering Ring of Fire hot sauce since the 1980's. It's the best. I give it to friends,…read morewho say it's addictive. My favorite recipe is to put a generous layer on a salmon filet and cook it under a top broiler until it almost turns black; works with swordfish also!! Cooking time varies a little depending on the thickness of the fish. My wife never wants me to cook it any other way......and that is an endorsement!!!

When you arrive, you just come around the back to an outdoor dining area with lots of tables, chairs, and covered areas for shade. At night the whole patio area lights up to give you just enough light for a romantic space. The food is made by a real Napoletano Chef from the house made pasta to the wood fire pizzas. We ordered the gnocchi and swapped the red sauce for pesto. Let me tell you it was sooooo good! The gnocchi was melt in your mouth soft and the pesto was perfect. The bolognese pasta was delicious and the pasta was so tender and delicious. We ordered 3 of the wood fire pizzas and the crust was so soft. The Pepe pizza which is a pepperoni pizza was my favorite with its soft, almost melt in your mouth crust with a red sauce that was PERFETTO!! The pizza crust is definitely worth the visit to Marcello's. The service was outstanding!! They were so nice and took very good care of us. They do not serve wine however they will allow you to bring your own. If you are looking for a great Italian place that feels cozy and romantic with amazing food then Marcello's is definitely the place to try.

Dear Little India Center,…read more Uppar kya hai? (What's up?) Thank you for helping ease me back into the real world after spending six months in India last year. You know exactly how to take care of my cravings for all things Indian. You had the foresight to fill your shopping center with many different restaurants both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, both North Indian and South Indian. Ashoka the Great, Madras Cafe, India Princess and Surati Farsan Mart. Whenever I need my Indian food fix, this is where I come. You added not one, not two, but three Indian grocery stores so I can pick up my spices, atta flour, lentils, tea and Indian veggies and make Indian food whenever I want. You have cool stores like; a sari shop filled with the brilliant reds, oranges, golds and aquas of India, an Indian video store where you can rent or buy the latest Bollywood movie and a yoga center for inner peace. You even added a Hindu temple for those that are devotional or would like to perform puja. Little India Center, you though of everything, but where are the masses of autorickshaws, the pollution, the packs of feral dogs and the street urchins? That would make it REALLY authentic. Think about it. Achcha din lo! (Have a nice day!)
