It's not a fancy place, it's not a well known place, but it's a gem. Big sandwiches for $10 or less. You get treated like you're at an aunts house and she's trying to sling the goods out the door. It can be quite overwhelming at first if you're new, but the ladies back there, are nice. I've personally had their steak sandwich and Cuban. Both delicious and fresh! Everything made fresh! The Cubans are $7 and the steak sandwich is $10. If you are within 15 min of this place, do yourself a favor and stop by. Parking can be a bit tough and it's definitely a to go spot.

Unfortunately, we didn't make it out that week so missed the special, but when we did stop by a couple of weeks later.... WOW! We fell in love with the old school bodega feel. The smells of the fresh produce, the fresh meets, the music, the pleasant demeanor and greeting from the cashiers, workers on the floor, and the butcher team took me back to my days back in New York and when visiting family in Puerto Rico. Other reviews complain about the tight aisles and busy butcher counter.... REALLY??? Pretentious much??? If anyone can complain about the fully stocked store and navigation challenges, it would be me as I am a blind Puerto Rican relying on a white cane and on my Nubian Queen to navigate. However, I am not complaining, will not complain, and would not have it any other way! We've since visited multiple times, most recently. This past Friday. I've been holding off on a review, because I wanted to be sure the experience wasn't a one-off. Well, I can tell you today, it wasn't. From the moment you walk in you are greeted by the cashiers. As you make your way through the store, the workers on the floor greet you and offer help. And, the butcher team, apparently, recognized my wife and I and made an extra effort to get my attention to greet me and welcome me back with a warm shout of "PRIMO!!" So, that's the vibe. Now to the prices. While the standard grocery prices are comparable to the big chains, we have found that the meat prices more than make up for it. While the prices are great, the meat quality is not compromised. I just downed a plate of cubed steak and onions and you'd think they'd used a prime cut as it was tender and not full of tendons. You want ox tails, go here. You want chicken wings, go here. You want flank steak for an awesome Ropa Vieja, go here. You want those verduras - malanga lila, llatia, green and ripe plantains, go here. And don't forget dessert - pick up a cheese flan at checkout. Unfortunately, I never got to bring my Mom here as I lost her earlier this year , but, I would have gone broke and gained a lot of weight, because she would start picking everything up and start cooking all the Puerto Rican staples as soon as we got home - R.I.P. Mama! BTW, their website is up to date and keeps you posted of their weekly specials. We keep an eye on that and their IG and plan our trip from Clearwater when our supplies get low. Thank you El Grande Supermarket!

Everything is in Spanish for pricing, so it was hard to tell how much stuff cost. Guys behind the counter do not speak much English, but that is expected. Aisles are slim, and you have to maneuver to get through. Tons of international ingredients. If I did not have hubby with me, I would have browsed longer. Sour orange marinade, spices galore, hoja santa, canela, and banana leaves. So hard to find, but now I know where to go. I wish they had molcajetes, as I had to sell mine when I moved. Cashiers did not speak any English, and they kind of ignored me. No biggie. I definitely will go back right when they open for less congestion. And I will brush up on my Spanish meats. LOL
