    It took me a while to find these but once I did, never going back! Best carnitas in town! Always freshly made, never dry. Get there early because line forms outside! The staff is super nice, always welcoming. Clean place and kept up with ensuring masks were being worn during the mandates.

    Oh my Gawh! If you're looking for authentic Carnitas then this is your spot. A hole in the wall that's easy to pass up but worth returning to. Carnitas are being made fresh inside and can be purchased by the pound. All the essentials such as tortillas, chips, salsas, nopales salad, Mexican coke and Jarritos can be found here. We also got menudo and it had a spicy kick to it; delicious! So excited about discovering this place close to home.

    Mixed pork taco with green salsa

    THESE TACOS ARE AMAZING! The pork tacos where divine with cilantro and onions- and although the taco doesn't have many ingredients it's such a rich combination of soft juicy meat, fresh crunchy onions, and all wrapped in a soft delicious corn tortilla. This place is amazing I can't recommend it enough the people were so hospitable and they had a wide selection of grocery's. Out of love, I think a little background music would add wonders to the ambient because it was quiet when I came in, but this small piece of criticism doesn't remove any feelings I have to this place. The service was personal and felt very homely if definitely make the drive out here again!

    Angelo Caputo's is a full service grocery store. We were hungry and ordered from the food area…read more They have a salad bar and hot food where they charge by the pound. I ordered the three beef taco dinner and my guest had a Harlem Sandwich which was Italian beef and Italian sausage. Both were delicious. They also have a bar area. After lunch we finished our grocery shopping! My tip, check out the bakery with the homemade Italian cookies and fresh bread!

    Since this location opened just a few blocks from our home, Caputo's quickly became our go-to…read moreneighborhood market. My husband shops there at least three times a week, which says a lot about how much we've relied on it over the years. We genuinely like this store, but lately we've noticed a decline in the quality of the produce. Things like tomatoes appearing shriveled or, at times, even moldy. It's disappointing, especially for a place we trust for everyday shopping. I also attempted to place an order for Easter dinner, something we've done many times in the past. Prices have increased quite a bit, so this year I decided to keep it simple and order just the lamb. The online system didn't allow me to select the date I needed, so I called for help. That's where things became frustrating. I spoke with Chef Jose, and communication was difficult. I asked if he spoke Spanish, since it's my native language and I thought it might help. His response felt dismissive, mentioning he speaks Italian and other things, but the interaction itself came across as borderline rude and unhelpful. That impression was later echoed by the front desk, who suggested I contact another chef. Chef Doug, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. Even though we played a bit of phone tag, he consistently followed up with a helpful and kind attitude, which I truly appreciated. Overall, this is still a market we want to love. It has been part of our routine and community. But between the recent produce issues and inconsistent customer service, it has been a bit disappointing compared to what it once was. I'm hopeful they find their way back to the quality and warmth that made them our favorite local market in the first place. BTW, one must place the order all the way to the paying screen to be able to select the desire pick up date.
