That day they didn't cook the authentic Iraqi kabob well. I will order it next time i go there. The store is small and the prices of the restaurant is very reasonable and acceptable. I would definitely come again!

Along with baby bok choy, curry paste, Piknik snacks and a couple of other things. Produce aisle isn't all labeled, so I had to ask for help. They didn't have the lime leaves out. The little man found me in another part of the store with a package of them. There are aisles and aisles of all sorts of Oriental foods. I could have spent a couple of hours in there exploring, but wasn't feeling so hot. That's why I wanted to make the soup in the first place. Strange odor near produce section, but I don't question those sorts of things. Spent $10 and walked out with a big bag o' stuff.

But a bushel of Basil under 2 bucks? I'm in! I proceed to walk up and down the asiles looking for dried kelp and red miso. No luck. So finally I just ask the cashier. The woman didn't speak much english but the young man jumped in to help. He was SUPER nice, walking up and down trying to help find what I'm looking for my items. He even asked the Manager when I thought red miso was a type of sauce not a packet of soup that he gave me. He also looked up the difference between kelp and seaweed. Because they had dried seaweed but not kelp. Which I ended up purchasing since it was in the same family. The reason they got such a low star count is because, at one aisle smelled like fish juice. Very disgusting. The store was old and looked it, not very well kept. I would hesitate to purchase any frozen items here. At the other end, opposite of the produce, was a type of kitchen. It had a hot plate buffet thing going that had two different pieces of meat sweltering under the hot lamp. There was these rolled up questionable food item and pre packeged corn on a table that flies were buzzing around. Something that would get an F if an inspection should happen by. The prices were cheap but the product in certain areas is questionable. But customer service was most excellent!

I only ended up here because I've been on a bit of a backyard cooking kick lately. We've got a full outdoor kitchen and smoker, and today we're hosting a crowd, so I figured I'd go hunt down a solid brisket. That quick errand turned into something else entirely. Walked in and immediately knew I wasn't in a typical grocery store meat section. The selection is on another level. I went in with tunnel vision for brisket and walked out with a beautiful cut, plus a leg of lamb and a few Wagyu steaks that I absolutely did not plan on buying. No regrets. The quality speaks for itself. Everything looked fresh, well-cut, and handled by people who clearly know what they're doing. Not just tossing meat in a case and calling it a day. There were also some more unique options that caught my eye, the kind of stuff you don't usually see unless you're really looking for it. Definitely gave me a few ideas for future weekends. What really stuck with me though was the staff. Genuinely friendly, easy to talk to, and helpful without hovering. I asked a couple questions and got real answers, not some rehearsed script. You can tell they take pride in what they're selling. If you're into cooking, especially if you've got a smoker and like experimenting a bit, this place is dangerous in the best way. I came in for one thing and left with a whole game plan. Safe to say I'll be back next time we're in town.

It was about time to leave a review for Malincho's!…read more I've moved to Tempe 3 years ago and I found this wonderful gem right on University Dr. I am Romanian and it's been hard to find similar foods from back home. Malincho's has a great variety of Bulgarian, Romanian and Eastern European foods and products. Every time I go there I find some nostalgic food and sweets I grew up with as well as the classic Romanian traditional foods like "Zacusca" , "Salam de Sibiu" , "Eugenia", "Mici" and many more. They also have freshly baked "plăcinte cu brânză" which they call "banitza" or something like that. All I know is that me and my American boyfriend never leave the place without a warm one. All the ladies there are so sweet and helpful and they also have great deals in their sale section! If you are Eastern European or just an adventurous foodie, you must try Malincho's!
