Everything here is good, and the employees are kind and friendly.( just don't ask them stupid questions about the food) Front parking is limited at peek times and inside seating is very limited. You get good quality at a reasonable price. Sure it isn't a steakhouse, for those who complain about a high end steak sandwich or prime rib sandwich. But pretty damn good and you'll leave completely satisfied, as you should. For those that constantly complain about the price- Jack in the Box is across the street- get your ghetto salty ass sangwhich there and be happy with that. Nothing wrong with that. Not many places like Antipasto's in San Jose. It's certainly my " Go~to" when I'm in that area.

I just see prices lol. However the cashier is really nice and can answer many questions. Their papaya salad is the BEST I have ever had. Super fresh, made order.

It's a tiny space, with narrow aisles and densely packed shelves. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I'm happy to make the long drive from Santa Cruz. And, as others have noted, don't leave without an order of their wonderful papaya salad, prepared to order. I ask for it as soon as I walk in the door. It's a little tricky to find based on the address -- it's in the back of a small apartment building. There are driveways on both sides of the building that lead to a parking lot, and by their door.

I'm surprised there aren't more reviews for this hidden gem since this has been here for years…read more They sell all sorts of snacks the aunties and uncles enjoy snacking on such as pickled mangos, dried seafood and crackers that you don't typically find at the asian supermarket. They're located inside Grand Century, but to grab your attention they have tables setup in front of their store displaying goodies. This time around we were suckered into the dried deer jerky and dried chili lime squid. The shopkeepers will gladly will give you samples to try because there are so many goodie bins. The store seems to have this european vibe since they have some european snacks and coffee for sale too.

I was surprised and offended enough to leave. It's your store, and it's not unreasonable to ask where an item is during the season. If you want to be that rude then don't run a business. Don't go here, they won't treat you with basic human decency.

I've been to other locations of this chain and the prices are alright.

I tried to come here and the hours say it closes at 10pm. I came at 8pm and it was closed. It seems like they just want to open and close whenever they feel like it. That or the hours on Yelp need to be updated.

We just stopped by this beef jerky and candied fruits shop today. The lady working there was very…read morenice and helped us buy 6lbs of beef jerky and a few lbs of candied plums. She even took photos for our family and gave my daughter a few complimentary pieces of ginger candy. I liked her service as she wasn't rudely hovering or shoving more beef jerky in the bag than we requested like other places do. The Vua Kho Bo in Orange County are notorious for being aggressive with pressuring customers to buy more meat. It's offensive and I refuse of buy if they start doing that to me. Here, the lady was super respectful of our wishes and put in the amount we agreed to. It was a very comfortable and enjoyable shopping experience.

The seating area is located outside inside a tent and had heaters (winter time). The food was good and liked the fact they bake their bread while you wait for your food and is served warm!

Will have to go back and try the pallow that I heard so much about!

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.
