Watermelons from Sam's Watermelon

Look at what I just got from Sam's, technically Sam himself. He is open and waiting for you to come get the best watermelons in SoCal. ****IMPORTANT, he is ONLY OPEN during watermelon season: May to September. That's why his melons are so good, they are picked at their prime during the growing season. There's no compairson to any big box or grocery store. Those melons could be many months old coming from who knows where. They taste like cardboard. Sam's on the other hand; well, you need to sample for yourself. Your taste buds will LOVE YOU!!! Buy local, buy in season, enjoy great tasting food.

We went here to get yellow watermelon, and he also had orange! He was really kind and help us pick one of each. I love buying from local small businesses.

Orange watermelon was huge and so good!!! I will definitely be back. Cash only

Me and my mom just left. When we finished our transaction at 9:11AM there was another employee at…read moreregister 2. But before she had gone into the register she was trying to squeeze past my mom without even saying excuse me. She was too busy talking to our cashier at register 1 (Isabel) . I was so shocked that I never said anything at first because my parents raised me to not be like that. I am always saying excuse me and trying to be polite but not having manners for my mom and probably anybody else will absolutely not be tolerated. I also work retail but the lack of manners in this store is super concerning. Especially since the cashier we had (Isabel) started talking on the phone while ringing us up maybe my work place is more strict than this place but it's still no excuse to not have the ability to say "excuse me" to a customer. You never know if me and my mom would have flipped over how rude that cashier was but we are calm people but we still are very offended by how disrespectful the lady was. Especially me because that is my mother!

First and last time coming here. Cashier Vanessa literally looked at us like we were bothering her…read morewhile asking if her register was open (which it was but still received a stank face from her for even asking) so we moved on to Adrianna who was literally on her phone the whole time she was helping us (just because it's under your register it doesn't mean we can't notice you scrolling ) doubt anything will be done but hey your business not mine.

I had a coupon for this store ($5 off $10 or more purchase). I guess this was a grand opening deal…read more The store is new. The store just opened Today. Since i was in area, i decided to stop by. The store was congested with the crowd that reflected that neighborhood. Its a mixture of regular to ghetto. No drama. Just people shopping. There is always some idiot who doesnt know how to behave in public. But thats every where. Aisles are narrow. So its not much space for two carts on each side. Frozen food aisle is small. But ok to find what you need. Fresh produced is good for the size of store. You see it when you walk in door. Meat section is ok as well. The selection is a mixture of name brand stuff and off brand stuff i never heard of. But the prices are great for both. Ok for some. But never overpriced, which is great for the community. If you are a name brand buyer, you may be a little heartbroken. Because a lot of stuff is missing. Canned chili aisle doesnt have hormel, etc. It has off brand. For the most part, they have a a decent amount of name brand stuff (jimmy dean, frito lay, general mills quaker, pepsi, etc) and a lot of off brand stuff that may be the same quality. I purchased some "morning delight" french toast sticks. Im an eggo or krustez shopper. Those brands are not sold here. I ate some of the morning delight a few minutes ago. It tasted good. $1.99 was a great price for them. I would buy them again. So dont judge a book by its cover. Their check out is ok. Every check out was opened. There is no bagging area for groceries or a dedicated bagger. The cashier puts your cart at the end of conveyor belt and places your groceries in cart. If you want a 10 cent bag, he or she will bag your groceries. I paid using my visa debit card with chip. What i like about this store is they allow u to use a chip visa or master card debit card as a credit card. So u dont have to enter your pin. Whereas Kroger (ralphs, food4less, etc.) requires chip card holder to enter pin. So this was a great surprise. I generally do not like to enter pin unless im at bank atm machine. They also accept other payment methods such as ebt, checks, etc. Overall its a nice clean store. Good for the people in the area to have a store near them. If im in the area, would definitely visit again. This is a clear alternative to the ralphs and other big stores within this area.

On May 18, 2016 I tried to support this new establishment; because it is local... Never again…read more First, they are not equipped to take Credit Card with the Chip. After entering my PIN # to complete the $ 78.19 transaction, waiting for the Cashier to do her part, machine froze upon printing my receipt. Cashier asked for managerial assistance, only to be misdirected by an assistant manger that turned the Cash Register off...erasing all payment history. Now, Assistant Manger/Manger advises me that the transaction didn't go through. Although, my credit card reflected current charges. They wanted me to make an additional payment for $78.19. Not to mention, they refused to give me my food and/or the items that I purchased. I ask the Manger to call Corporate to advise me that if my transaction was paid or voided. Manager calls technical support (IT) not Accounting and he advises the manager that the payment did post to my account, but he requested a reversal and the $78.19 should be placed back on my credit card with 24-48 hrs. Manager offers me $20 in coupons, and made me re-purchased the items for $58.19 As of 6/7/2016 I have not received my $78.19 credit/money back to my card. They are refusing to help me, or let me speak to anyone with Corporate.

El Super is exactly what the name promises: a supermarket, nothing more, nothing less. This…read morelocation on Slauson is one of those places you end up at when you need basics, a few deals, or you don't feel like fighting the chaos at the bigger chains. Produce here is usually stacked deep -- mountains of tomatoes, avocados, chiles, and mangos that actually feel like they belong in a real kitchen, not some airbrushed TV commercial. Prices on fruit and vegetables are often cheaper than Ralphs or Vons, which makes it a solid stop if you're shopping on a budget. The panadería has fresh bolillos and conchas that come out warm when you time it right, and the carnicería has all the cuts you'd expect, with marinades and seasonings that are perfect for carne asada. The meh: The layout is cramped, aisles feel tight, and when it gets busy, maneuvering a cart is like playing bumper cars with strangers. Stock can be hit or miss -- sometimes the shelves look full and organized, other times you're staring at gaps where staples should be. The checkout lines move slowly, and while staff are polite enough, they're clearly stretched thin. Parking in the lot can feel like survival of the fittest during peak hours. El Super does the job. It won't blow your mind, and it won't ruin your day. It's where you go when you want affordable produce, some solid bakery items, and a Latin-market vibe without the polish of a Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. Convenient if you're nearby, but not worth a special trip across town.

On October 3, 2025, my pregnant wife and I had one of the most disturbing experiences ever at this…read moreEl Super (1100 W Slauson Ave, Los Angeles). While parked legally in a disabled spot with my valid disability placard properly displayed, we were harassed and verbally abused by the Allied Universal security guard stationed at this store. The guard profiled us, ignored other drivers, and singled us out. She body-shamed my pregnant wife, calling her "fat" in harsh terms, and later escalated by screaming profanity, including calling my wife a "stupid f*cking bitch" as we were leaving. She even took photos and videos of us on private property without consent. We never provoked her, this was a one-sided attack that left us shaken, unsafe, and humiliated. I have dash cam footage and timestamps to prove everything. It is outrageous that El Super allows a guard like this to represent their store. Customers should feel safe, not targeted or harassed -- especially people with disabilities and expectant mothers. Until El Super addresses this, I will not return and urge management to take accountability for what happened on their property.
