Everything about this place was just worse than what's expected from a grocery store and just…read moredidn't meet expectations. Aside from the unpleasant aroma, there was loud annoying (to me) music playing, it was not bright or friendly looking inside, and just not pleasant at all really. I came here for some things I couldn't get from a larger grocery store, and I got a tortilla press which was pretty low quality, some masa harina which was fine, and some dried chiles that were pretty good. I was surprised that some of the produce was very bad quality, like rotting avocados with the pits exposed. If you need to shop here for some reason or it's convienient, there are some good things, but there are better places in town and online.

What a surprise! Technically, this is a Mexican ice cream shop, but my son and I had heard that…read moretheir food was also really good. I am so glad we tried it. I had 3 tacos, al pastor, chorizo, and steak and they all were fantastic! The chorizo was my favorite but they were all good. There were two notable things that 3 Mangos had going for their tacos, 1) hands-down, the best corn tortillas we've had so far, and 2) their salsa/hot sauce (pictured) was AMAZING - such a unique flavor. We didn't try their ice cream or smoothies, but a fellow customer highly recommended their Diabolito, a spice mango-based smoothie with a hint of tamarind. We will definitely be back here

Their slogan: "At Parkside Foods, you are only a stranger here once"…read more A somewhat scary grocery store (particularly the clientele), with a GREAT meat counter. 10 different types of pepperoni, and they make all their own sausages. The breakfast sausages and homemade bratwurst are really tasty. So, if you are looking for something special in sausages and homemade meats treats, stop by here. Skip the rest of your grocery-buying for another store.

Since it's located in the neighborhood, it has a very quaint small town feel to it. It's cleaned up quite a bit and it's meat selection is pretty awesome. Everything is always fresh and lots of homemade sausage and kielbasa. Not a place you'd go all out grocery shopping b/c the produce section is pretty limited. Fair pricing, quality meats and friendly service.

Since the owners have changed, quality has dropped. They did clean up the store a lot, so it looks…read moremuch better. They added more tables outside as well. They still sell candy, hot food, and convenience store items. They added things like milk, eggs, ravioli, little things if you need to just duck in and out. However, the prices are unreasonable. They just buy milk from marketplace ($2.50 a gallon) and mark it up to $4-$5 and resell it. Since they close at 7 PM now, you are better off just going up to Marketplace to get milk, eggs, or hot deli food (deli closes around 8:45). The food is still Gordon Foods products heated up in the oven, and left under a heat lamp for a few hours. I decided to get some curly fries, and regretted it right away. Limp, chewy, cold, and dry all the way through. No refund. The girl on the register was obviously in training, but was getting no help from the manager. She had to run my debit card 4 times, I did not get a receipt. I'll be keeping an eye on my bank account. Despite getting cleaned up, it's become a mess.

We made a family trip out to South East Market today. They have branded themselves as a locally…read moresourced fresh food market. They also have a pay it forward program to improve healthy food access to all. I came with my husband, 2 yo, and 3 mos old. It is a quaint little two aisle store. There were no pushcarts available just small hand baskets, so it was a little bit of a handful to carry baby and guide a toddler around. However, besides that, I loved the careful selection of everyday items that they had on display. I found it interesting that there's a mixture of higher end canned foods and frozen meats but then reasonably priced fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. My toddler grabbed a bruised apple in the free basket and I picked up some day old challah bread for French toast. My husband especially liked the farm list at the front of the store listing all the local farms that they sourced their food from, and how far they were away. The furthest was 23 miles away! Alice Waters would be proud (: Anyhow, love their mission and hope this place finds its niche for all it wants to stand for along with an inspiration for some yummy meals. Street parking is available and one of the closest side streets is on Kalamazoo and Hancock.
