Concerning Experience at Imperial Beach Grocery Outlet - Disability and Racist Owner Awareness…read moreNeeded I want to share an experience my family had at the Imperial Beach Grocery Outlet (Store #0288) so other families -- especially those with disabilities -- are aware. On February 3, 2026, during checkout, the cashier (David) reprimanded my minor autistic daughter directly, telling her that the store headband she was wearing "did not belong there" after she briefly set it on the candy rack. I was standing right in front of him, using a walking cane, with our disability‑related support animal beside us. Our disability needs were clearly visible, yet he chose to address my child sharply instead of speaking to me. I asked for the manager and insisted on an apology, which he eventually gave. Unfortunately, while we were still in the store managing our paid groceries without assistance, the manager, the same cashier, and a nearby customer openly mocked the situation at the manager's register. When I raised this, the manager dismissed it, saying she had "no control over customers." Families with disabilities deserve respect, patience, and professionalism -- not reprimands directed at children or mocking behavior from staff and customers. I did receive a brief response from the franchise owners, but it did not address the specific concerns or the seriousness of what occurred. I hope this store takes disability awareness and customer treatment seriously moving forward. Complaint filed with BBB. Update: Complaint filed with Department of Justice . Easy online complaint form .

It's my go staple to recharge over the weekend. That and an energy drink. Their tortas are also epic! Highly recommend!!! I've noticed they are getting busier and busier so morning is probably the best time. Say around 10 -10:30 am. Especially on wkends. It can also get packed .. bring patience and manners. The ambiance inside the market is also nice ..not overpowering like say Albertsons. They have a great selection of food and drinks...not only alcohol but energy drinks, waters, Starbucks bottled coffee and sodas as well. When I was sick, I came here with a mask on and ordered their caldo de res...with all the veggies and the warm broth it actually helped me feel better. Plus the generous chunks of veggies helped me get some nutrition in me. That and the menudo on the weekends are what I believe helped me get past being sick. Truly grateful for this place being nearby!! I highly recommend this market.....it has amazing food, amazing employees, and a really decent selection. Need laundry soap but think you have to go to name brand store? Nope! Head over towards the butcher in the back, across from the pan dulce and you'll find it! They also have instant coffee and creamer. Speaking of their pan dulce ... absolutely must try!! It's delicious!!!

If it's close to expiration, it will bagged up already for you at a very discounted price. These are normally sitting in shopping carts off to the side. Some folks come here and do their regular grocery shopping, because the lower priced items make up for the slightly higher priced stuff. End result- you are mostly spending the same in the end. There are deals to be had, just take the time and look. Fresh butcher shop/carnicería, fresh corn & flour tortillas(made here), quality pan dulce and even prepared food to order- called Elena's Kitchen- are all reasons to come here. We come for the tortillas, produce and hot food. I like the rolled tacos, the lady likes the menudo. Quick service with no attitudes too. We both like the rice and beans & wanna try more things! Definitely worth checking out when in the area.

The produce section was also a highlight. Their vegetable selection was amazing. Everything looked vibrant, fresh, and beautifully arranged. You can tell they take pride in their presentation and quality. Prices are really high, but honestly, that's to be expected with this type of store. Overall, a great spot to grab last minute groceries, a hot meal, or a sweet treat.

Before moving to the area we were a loyal customer of The Water Lady Water Store first in Hillcrest then in North Park. I wasn't sure we could find a water store that would compare and I was delighted to find Aunt Ellen's Water. They sell both purified and alkaline water. Others have reviewed and said that the water has a "taste," I have never experienced that. Christopher is a ray of sunshine!! Every time I go in I get so much more than just water. He is a healer and so knowledgeable about spirituality and alternative treatments. I usually get alkaline water so I always make it a point to slow down, sit and have a chat with him....I always feel so much better after leaving the store. In addition to water, the store carries all kinds of interesting books, Himalayan Salt Lamps and wellness supplements. This little shop is a treasure in the area, support local and check it out!!
