    stack of Peppermint White Russian Cut Waters
    Allyssa C.

    This Trader Joe's location is so nice!! We were running errands in this plaza and decided to stop by the store to check it out. It was really clean and spacious inside, and it wasn't crowded when we got there. They were stocked with a lot of products, and we even found some items that we normally wouldn't find at our local Trader Joe's! We got the mystery pack bags, and this was the first time I've seen it in stock, so I was super excited to get it. They also had the peppermint white russian cut waters, so we had to grab a box because I've been wanting to try this flavor but have never seen it in stores. And we also got a few other grocery items. We were really impressed with this location and will definitely be stopping by whenever we're in the area.

    Elite Corn Chip & White Queso Dip
    Jamie N.

    Since moving to Ladera, I often look forward to grocery shopping here because I know I'll always walk out with more than intended. From the seasonal snacks to the prepared foods in the frozen section, it gets me excited to try something new that will eventually be a staple in our home. Every trip is an adventure. For example, we really enjoy the Korean short ribs, Vegetable pad thai and various forms of croissants. The chocolate and almond are my faves! Recent likes have been the white cheddar queso, Japanese custard taiyaki, banana pudding ice cream and the assortment of ground or whole coffee beans. This place is always buzzing since it opened, but service is always super helpful and kind. I had trouble finding tofu and I feel like most grocers typically have it near the eggs or in some refrigerated section. Without guidance, I had easily missed it since they were positioned near the protein section on a top shelf. Overall, I enjoy grabbing a few things that make preparing meals a quick fix. it cuts down on meal prep and it's nice to keep a stock of frozen goods in the freezer that are cost effective. I'll be back in no time.

    Here's a good example of a fake meat look at the texture real me never looks like this this was mixed with something other than meat!
    Jim S.

    Hey just be aware that Trader Joe's selling fake me just bought a two filet mignon pack one was okay no problem the other one look like meat but the internals were like eating a sponge like texture that is not normal once you taste it. The funny thing it looked like meat but felt like I was eating a liver that same texture exactly is what it felt like but this was supposedly meat, so just be aware if you get the taste thing you're not crazy! Shame on you Trader Joe's or your distributor! I will also take a snapshot of this because Trader Joe's has a habit of removing negative reviews on Yelp like they did during covid! I am put it on a different social media if this happens. On this was their Prime Choice selection too not the lowered tear Farm cheap brand. You should never be able to smash me into putting like substance pushing it with your finger see photos!

    This is the new Trader Joe's by my house. It's a lot like other Trader Joe's the people are friendly and very nice. There's a lot of delicious food and good atmosphere. I like the Hawaiian shirts.

    Flowers from Trader Joe's given by the sweet check out person
    Joanna L.

    Thank you to the sweet check out girl who gave me flowers. Just came from the hospital from sitting next to my 89 year old father. Who broke his femur. I was so exhausted from days by his bedside. That cheered me up and i appreciated it so much.

    Came to this new location because I was visiting a friend. I was in need of some red wine that was dry and not for cooking. Erik was super helpful in pointing out which wines were best for cooking, drinking, and cooking and drinking. I ended up going with his selection and highly recommended. I highly recommend going to the store. The workers are super personable and knowledgeable five out of five stars.

    So excited that Trader Joe's opened up in my neighborhood yesterday! Employees were cheerful and helpful as always. Can't NOT love the wide aisles compared to other smaller stores. They are still figuring out Customer preferences - we found the bread aisle to be pretty bare, but that will change with time. Setup is like a normal TJs, nicely lit and easy to navigate. This will be my go-to store for my weekly TJs run! Enjoy!

I especially want to thank Octavio and the butcher team. I had a specific order that I requested around 7:00 a.m. Octavio asked for my name and told me it would be ready around 8:00 a.m. I even tried to tell him not to worry about it and that I would just request it when I returned later. I ended up coming back around 11:00 a.m., asked about my order, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it had been filled and was ready for me! What amazing customer service and follow-through! Honestly, I shouldn't have been surprised because the butcher team consistently comes through for all of my requests--whether it's specific pork chops, burger grind, or other special cuts. The entire Stater Bros. team consistently exceeds my expectations. I even witnessed a manager helping the restocking team. When someone thanked him, he simply said, "I'm helping out." That really says a lot about the culture and teamwork in this store. Thank you, Octavio, and thank you to the entire butcher team for always taking care of your customers. Your hard work and commitment to excellent customer service do not go unnoticed! You have definitely earned a very satisfied and loyal customer!

It is wonderful to see several familiar employees here whom I recognize from other stores. The entire management team is exceptionally friendly. The store manager, Jason, is one of the most professional and welcoming managers I have ever encountered. Maurice, the previous manager, is also fantastic. I have never had a single issue at this store; the entire staff is wonderful. On top of the great service, Stater Bros. consistently offers the best prices of any grocery chain. My grown children now shop at Stater Bros. as well, and I am certain this tradition will pass down to their own children. Highly recommended!

I had a question regarding bakery items, and especially for halva. The lady behind the counter was soo nice and helpful. Using my american farsi she was able to help me without judgment and guide me. Pro tip: you can order halva 2-3 days prior and have it made in small individual servings depending on quantity of people . For non persians reading this: God forbid someone has a funeral, memorial service, celebration of life, "halva " is something that is served along with "khorma" dates with walnuts. People like me, dont know how to make it. So its nice to know if that time comes and its needed , its an option to order ahead of time and have the custom items for our tradition to be available. The guy at the cheese/deli counter was also super helpful with me when ordering my feta bulgar cheese. We love our cheese, with walnuts. So since i was trying this one out, i decided to get a small size with the water in a separate container. Overall i like it here. Only issue, is the pricing. Mission ranch market a few miles down is more cost efficient and lower in cost for the value compared to here. So if you need to grab some items its worth coming here as it's closer. But if you are looking to go full in grocery shopping, i think MR market is better in terms of value and quality. Id come here and see for yourself.

Among the meats are asada, adobado, birria, chicharon and sometimes buche. Daily taco price is $1.49 but on Tuesdays and Fridays, tacos are 69¢. They have a very good chile relleno as well. There are other things available but it hard to get away from the range of street taco options. The folks working the taqueria are amazing, having to make plates and plates of tacos. Today, one work crew had 20 taco orders in front of me. Long lines await the tacos on Tuesdays and Fridays. Despite the load, the taqueros are friendly and fast. No photos as it really isn't necessary as the food is that good.

But this review is for the Supervisor at the self-checkout. He is always so nice and helps us out when there are issues with our purchases. I forget to look at his name tag earlier but it's the gentleman with dark (almost black) and curly hair. Always has a smile when dealing with customers. I'll check his name tag next time we're in the store. :) The store is always nice and clean and well-stocked.
