    I went here after a YouTube video I saw ON ACCIDENT. My Youtube was autoplaying videos on the TV,…read moreand I saw this place and thought "Man, I wish we had a place like this in San Jose." Then I realized the video was highlighting the best food spots in San Jose! I live in West SJ and it's a 20 minute drive to Antipasto, but I didn't mind, I had to find out for myself. I hurried up and went there immediately, only to realize they were closed on Mondays. My mistake, I actually went online to check their schedule, and got into the menu a bit too passionately, that I forgot to actually check their hours. So I went back on Wednesday, and decided to double check that they were actually open this time. Upon walking in, I was a little intimidated to be honest. Everybody looked like a regular, while I walked around like a headless chicken trying to figure out which side of the store to go to. Nick noticed that, and went out of his way from behind the counter to guide me and my wife. He let us know where to go for sandwiches, the butcher, raviolis, etc... Me and my wife got the lasagna dinner with 2 meatballs, and TBC beef ravioli W/ salads. It was love at first bite. This place was better than all the Italian places in San Jose, without a doubt. Yes, I'm talking to you Original Joes and Maggiannos. All throughout our meal, we noticed people chatting with Nick and the rest of the staff as if they were family. Who knows they might be! Nick continued to include us by talking to us and making us feel welcomed. We are fans for life! Great food, great service, what else can you ask for? I just can't believe I never knew about this place after living in San Jose for 30 years.

    Sharing my recent visit to La Princesa, Friday April 17 2026…read more. I genuinely wanted to support this store, but what I witnessed has changed my perspective. I observed a clear case of cross-contamination between non-halal and halal meat handling. A staff member handled pork and then proceeded to serve halal meat using the same gloves, without changing them. The same worker also placed a bag of pork directly on the counter used for halal items. This is not a minor oversight--it reflects a serious lapse in basic halal food handling standards. I raised this with the manager, but unfortunately did not receive the level of assurance or accountability I expected, especially given the severity of the issue. Management needs to take this matter seriously, as it is deeply concerning to the Muslim community. The placement of non-halal meat in close proximity to halal meat should not be considered acceptable in the first place. Based on this experience, I'm giving a 1-star rating.

    Visited La Princesa recently and found it to be a decent neighborhood market with a good variety of…read moreinternational products and fresh produce. The store had some unique items, which I appreciated, but the overall organization made shopping a bit difficult at times. Staff were okay but not especially attentive during my visit.

Peeking inside, the place looks really unsanitary. Bowls and messy everywhere. Parking does suck. Main Menu: banh khong = plain banh hanh = fried onions on top banh tom chay = Ground Shrimp banh thit = minced pork hu tieu = thin noodles mi quang nghe = noodles (seems like you may need to order a day before) nuon mam = fish sauce They do sell other things but I'm not sure if they are seasonal. We bought 3 pounds banh thit (with pork) and 2 fried dough balls with mung inside. Delicious!!! Banh cuon was syran wrapped, no aluminum tray.

    Talk about hole in the wall!…read more I was super excited to come here cause I'm sick and tired of paying $20 for a plate of banh cuon in a restaurant only to get like 3 rolls. Here, you can get a pound of banh cuon for $6-$8. Now this place is not for the faint of heart. You can easily mistaken it for an old storefront that's been abandoned. Pre-Covid, you could eat in the shop. When the pandemic hit, they started only taking orders through a window/counter and it's been like that since. When you peer through the window, it might make you question your decisions and make you want to turn right around. Stay, and you'll get some pretty good and cheap banh cuon! We got 3 pounds of banh cuon with meat. Was it the best banh cuon I've ever had? Probably not. Was it good for $8/lb? HELL YEAH. We'd come back. I've never been but my mom says their other location is cleaner. Although this place definitely didn't look that clean, it didn't bother me enough to go out of the way just to go to their other location. I was worried we would have trouble finding parking based on all the reviews but it wasn't too bad. We didn't have too much trouble on a Saturday afternoon.

    Disclaimer that I didn't come here to buy specific ingredients to make a Hispanic meal; rather I…read morejust wanted to check out a local, independent supermarket. That aside, let me summarize my thoughts by saying: I'd come again. And again. And...well, you get the idea. My Spanish isn't great, but the staff largely understood and spoke English, and were pleasant and happy to help me find what I needed. The prices were quite agreeable. I bought 17 items, consisting of 3 large (600 ml) beverages, 2 smaller beverages, 3 hefty cans of tuna soup, 2 large palettes of canned sardines in tomato sauce, 6 tins of canned sausages, and 1 cup noodle. This, in total, cost me just under 55 dollars. 3.24 dollars per item, on average, is hardly something to complain about. And the quality of the goods was impressive, too. - The beverages I bought were five different varieties of the Vive100 energy drink. I've only had a chance to try the original (all green) and Fusion (red) versions, but let me just say: they taste far more natural than any other caffeinated energy drink I've had. Maybe it's the natural cane sugar, but the flavoring just feels smoother and less aggressively "chemical" as well. - The tuna soups I bought were "encebollado de atún," and contained whole chunks of tuna, savory broth, potatoes, onions, and some other greens and spices. For only about 3-4 dollars and 224-250 calories, they were incredibly filling and wholesome. The two brands were Real and Manabí, and I recommend you try both. - Of the canned sardines in tomato sauce, I've yet to try the Real brand, but La Sirena is excellent: hearty, meaty, flavorful, and barely metallic at all. I don't recommend the Iberia brand (which Chaparral carries, but I didn't buy), as the fish is tough, and the sauce is thin and tastes more of metal than tomato. - The canned sausages were Rica Rondo brand vienna sausages. Not the best vienna sausages I've had (Libby's tends to be less salty, more tender, and more flavorful), but still a good enough pick-me-up snack that can easily be consumed on the go. The parking is no issue. Even though the lot (located to the right of the main entrance) is on the smaller side, I've never had trouble finding a spot. Once you go to the entrance, you'll see a sign that says backpacks, among other things, are not permitted inside. No problem, since they offer shopping baskets and give offer bags (for 20 cents) at checkout. Three things you'll want to consider before going: - One, the supermarket does have a "structured flow" for traffic; aside from the pockets of products near the entrance, the frozen food section, and the meat section, all aisles are one-direction only. This can be unintuitive to people who are used to typical American supermarkets, but takes little time to get adjusted to. - Two, foods are arranged first by country of origin, and then by product type, which means that you might see similar products in different parts of the store. - Three, there are no restrooms available for customer use.

    As someone who lived in Miami, where multicultural food options are everywhere -- Colombian,…read moreVenezuelan, Puerto Rican, Cuban, you name it -- moving to Northern California was a bit of a culture shock (and let's be honest... a price shock too ). Everything here is expensive -- even the air feels like it has a service fee -- but that's just California life. That's why Chaparral Supermarket is such a gem. What really impressed me is their vast selection of Colombian foods and treats. As a Colombian myself, finding familiar products from home while living away from home truly means a lot. From snacks to staples, they carry items that are hard to find elsewhere in the area, and it instantly made me feel a little more grounded as a newcomer to the state. Yes, prices are higher than what I was used to back in Miami -- but for Northern California, it's expected, and honestly, worth it for the selection and convenience. You can't really complain when you're getting a taste of home in a place where that's not always easy to find. If you're Colombian, Latin American, or just someone who loves exploring authentic international foods beyond the usual options, this place is 100% worth a visit. Chaparral makes being far from home feel a little closer.
