    Shawarma
    Nayeli H.

    Had gone to a pho place before and then went to get ice cream down the street from this market but the smell of food crossed our paths and we decided to follow the smell lol, was greeted very nicely with the seller of the shawarmas stand. Lots of people working hard to prepare food and honestly not bad pricing, one large shawarma with a drink for $15 and freshly prepared with love! Didn't regret it at all and have never tried this type of cultural food and honestly it was the best. They let us sample the chicken that they had freshly made and OMG it was so good, perfect seasoning, and perfect flavoring!!!!!!!! Service was amazing as well they treated us so nicely especially as somebody from a different background they basically welcomed us with open arms. We will be coming back! NOTE: THEY ONLY SELL THESE FRIDAY, SATURDAY, & SUNDAY!

    I was excited to see another market open up in Little Arabia. This one looks clean & modern on the outside. The parking lot is small !!! I wouldn't visit this place on the weekend. I went on a late Monday afternoon & the lot was already filled but was lucky to get the last open spot. 10/10 on the ambience - the store is bright, airy & clean ! It felt very nice inside. 3/10 on the variety. This felt like a glorified 7/11. Al tayebat (& even that store is small) has more variety than here. There's about 3 aisles & nothing really caught my eye. I was expecting more product from the Middle East but there's really nothing I can get here than I can't at harvest fresh down the street. 3/10 on the bakery - nothing looked appetizing & I love manaqish ! It seemed like what was made had been sitting out for quite some time just like the pizzas & hot dogs at 7 11. Well the effort is there but sadly don't see myself going here often. The meat counter prices were slightly higher than surrounding stores. Might be back.

    Never have I ever had a date croissant until I did here (thinking it was chocolate). It was AMAZING! It had the perfect amount of sweetness. The size is dangerous since they are small it was so hard to resist to eat more. Love that they also have fresh made food to go. The pizza and scallion flatbread were bomb. Why don't more places offer green olives for a pizza topping?? My recommendation if you cannot find someone who speaks English to explain what you are choosing just point and try. Whose up for a food adventure?

    The homies up front and stocking were friendly

    Store was bright and friendly with music playing in the parking lot. The bakery looked really good until I saw the bug landing on things and told the guy behind the counter. He didn't care at all and just let the bug land in more things . The cashier gave nooooooooooo dam about and looked at me like I'm crazy for pointing it out. The guys in the front were friendly and made it really welcoming tho so that was a good thing to walk into and leave with.

    Awesome!! I saw this place while driving by and immediately felt the vibes and pulled in- got some really great barazek and a croissant with zatar & feta(?). Fresh and super flavorful! There was a y outside talking about shawarma and we got to chatting and he went and got me some treats free of charge- insanely nice!! I'll be back!!

I have…read moretried chimichurri sauces from Whole Foods and Trader Joe's but they aren't really very authentic. A friend recommended seeing what El Gaucho might have, so I visited the next day. The market is easy to spot with a big street sign out front. There are only two parking spots in front, one is a handicapped space. There's plenty of parking around the back though. When you walk in, you will see the main market with lots of items and brands I've never seen before. Slightly to the right is their deli counter with lots of meats, cheeses, and other miscellaneous items. To the right of the entrance is a dining area, and another counter where you can order sandwiches, empanadas, pizza, French fries, and drinks. I was laser focused on getting the chimichurri and leaving since I was short on time. It is in plastic bottles in plain view on on top of the deli counter. I purchased the regular variety, but they also have a spicy version. I could already tell this was going to be way better than the other two sauces I tried. I've had it on a steak, and on my breakfast scrambled eggs, and it's in a whole different league from the grocery versions I tried. It looks just like a restaurant chimichurri, oil based with lots of herbs and spices. I just had a nice filet mignon with chimichurri at a good Argentinan restaurant last week, and this chimichurri is about 90% as good. I moved it from the plastic bottle it comes in to a glass jar which will hopefully help preserve it longer, and store it in the refrigerator. I now have no reason to look elsewhere for chimichurri. My friend visits here periodically and says the sandwiches are excellent. I'll have to return again to try one, get more chimichurri, and explore the market and deli to see what other goodies they have.

I cut them into steaks for the grill for Sunday, salted and peppered, then left overnight in the fridge. I should have known something was up when I saw that the meat was slightly browning and had an off odor. After bringing to room temp and cooking, I noticed a majority of the 7lbs was in this condition. Why did nearly all of the meat have these small holes in it? It did not make for an appetizing meal, and I was very disappointed in the quality of the meat that was marked and listed for sale at $13.99/lb "Prime" Picanha. It's not the fact that I chose incorrectly, it's the fact that this meat was offered for sale in the first place to their customers. After coming here several times and spending hundreds of dollars, I will not be coming back here again.
