I'm giving four stars solely because I love the selection at this location. Honestly, the area only…read morehas three other locations that carry cosmetics, and this store stocks many brands I love which I can't get without driving 30 minutes out of my way. This store's quality seems very hit or miss depending on the time of year. I understand it's located on an island and high traffic can be challenging, but I've been here many times. I wish they would hire more staff to meet the store's needs. I've never had an issue with the service; the service is always excellent, Whenever I walk in, I'm greeted, and I'm always asked if I need help finding anything. It's primarily the appearance of the store that sometimes makes me wonder if the Manager on Duty even cares about the store's presentation. Aside from that, I love the products, and the prices seem very fair. Not sure if this location is going to stay open,I'm aware that many locations of this company are closing. I'm hopeful that this one remains open.

The interior of the store is really quite small maybe 25 feet in either direction. They have about 12 doors of cold drinks and a small ice table.

Hot and fresh made tortillas along with some serious taco combos (courtesy of the laredo taco company). I personally enjoy the barbacoa tacos and the beef fajitas. A buddy really likes the carnitas and green pork. Tacos are $2 each or you can get two tacos plus a 32oz drink for $5. Breakfast tacos are a dollar. I have friends who when they come to the island end up eating Stripes tacos at least once a day. I've done the half chicken plate and the sausages before as well. Both are worth checking out if you're in the mood. Can't go wrong with Stripes. Oh and they sell gas too.

As I was dropping off stuff to the Salvation Army, I spied this little nugget across the street…read more Drive thru michelada? Too good to be true. And indeed it was. You can't really drive through to get a michelada with beer inside... but you can drive through to get a Clamato Preparado with a beer ON the side. So I bought one of those suckers ($8?) and was about to drive off when something caught my eye. Smirnoff Preparada. What the heck? Turns out an SP is a 20 oz smirnoff icce, with gummy bears, chamoy and chile inside the beverage. Then on TOP of the beverage, more gummy bears, chamoy and chile. Obviously I had to get one. It tasted like sh... nothing good but the gummy bear chamoy concoction on top was delicious. All of these things are an acquired taste of course so feel free to experience this madness on your own.
