First time at this Indian grocery store in Rancho Bernardo. Never noticed before and today on my…read moreway to a doctor appointment I spotted it. Very clean and everything pretty organized but I found it to me more expensive than other Indian stores o am used to. I guess is smaller and they have to charge more. The price for Nescafé is outrageous. I got several south Indian snacks that I love since I discovered them during my Bay Area life and could find them here. I also got mango pickle. However, as a new customer at a small business I was expecting to be greeted or asked if I found everything I was looking for. I think it is a great add to this revamping area in Rancho Bernardo.

This is the third year in a row we have ordered pierogi from Polka Polish Goodies and it is…read moreexcellent every time! Everything is fresh, authentic and delicious. Their customer service is also great and accommodating. I always receive quick replies when I needed to make a change. One year she even created a custom gift basket at our request without much direction and it was beyond our expectations!! Highly recommend if you want some of the best pierogi and sauerkraut. And that garlic sauce is magic!

All so very delicious! My own Michigan Polish/Maliszewski family (I am fourth generation, back in Lincoln Park, and still cook Polish for my family when I visit there) did not garnish savory farmer's cheese pierogis with caramelized onions and scallions dipped in garlic-sour cream sauce or ever add fresh dill to the filling --but it is a delicious touch! ) In Michigan, we boiled them slightly in salted water till they floated to the top, drained the water off, then lightly browned them in butter and served them alongside a dollop of cold sour cream. I am very impressed at the quality of the food here, the lightness of the dumpling dough, and definitely had a delicious dinner in my car, a first for me in the 36 years I've lived in CA. (I brought my polka-dancing shoes along as well, but no band was playing in the parking lot outside!- does anyone know of a place for polka dancers like me near San Diego?). Rita Maliszewska-Farkas

Teenagers! ;) O Prego reminds me of little corner stores/bodegas I would find in Brooklyn- half market, half deli. We browsed the aisles, found a few things to buy, and then went to the deli/bakery section. There's plenty to order here. We settled on a few small bites. Everything was absolutely delicious. My fiancé and I will definitely be coming back for their coffee and pastries on a weekend morning! The owners couldn't have been any nicer to my son as he practiced his Portuguese- ordering for us and even chatting it up with him. This warmed my mama heart! Family owned and operated, Support them! 5 stars!

It's a little unkempt, no big deal! The place gets plenty of customers so by the end of the day, it's pretty untidy. If you don't want to see what you are eating in its raw or living form, don't go near the meat, seafood or poultry section! There are also Chinese stores, about a dozen, inside the building, for Chinese snacks, a Chinese traditional pharmacy and jewelry and clothes. A fun place to look around

Yes, this is the only decent Asian grocery option in North County. No, it is not worth it…read more North County is severely lacking in the diversity of their gastronomy scene and their grocery stores reflect that. You'd have to drive either to Irvine or Mira Mesa for Asian markets. 88 Ranch (not to be confused with 99 Ranch) is definitely your most viable option here. It's a mid-size store and the selection is decent. All the usual produce, snacks, and such are available here. The kicker is the price. Everything is so expensive! I'd definitely recommend only stopping by if you're in a pinch with no other options.

This was my first visit after driving by this store so many times. Easy parking and easy in-and-out…read moreon to Valley Parkway being next to a traffic light. The store was a lot larger inside than it looked from Valley Parkway. They had a lot more items than I had expected. The display was well organized by the kind of items, not by cuisine or culture. Overall it was a clean and pleasant place to shop. For those who regularly go to the Asian grocery stores in the Convoy area, this is not a store to replace them, but it serves the purpose as a neighborhood Asian store that carries enough basic items in a pinch. For that purpose, in Escondido and North county inland in general, this is a great store. You have to visit this store and see what they have that you may be able to count on in a pinch without going down to Convoy. The selection may be less compared to Convoy, but the price seems to be compatible. For those who may not be cooking Asian food, this store has ready to eat goodies like Asian sweets, snacks and ice creams. The produce was fresh. I was surprised to find some Asian culture specific veggies and fruits. People were helpful in finding the items I was looking for. Overall I love the store. Definitely going back!

While the menu was limited that day, it's still worth trying everything you can on it! My husband and I ordered a smoked pork belly musubi to share, steak plate and hamburger steak plate. The sides are superb, the mac salad was a favorite over potato salad for once. The steak was cooked to perfection and the hamburger steak was seasoned beautifully and paired amazing with the sauce. My recommendation - order your own musubi! The smoked pork belly was smoky, tender... just perfection. You may want to order a second to go! Highly recommend coming here, everyone Is so nice and personable! You'll easily be finding yourself thinking when to stop in again!
