Found this little gem and got some really good deals! Shoutout to the produce guy for my $4 watermelon that is so sweet and weighted like 20 pounds! Shoutout to the fruit guy for my peaches and plums and freeze dried peaches! Your green plums are freakin' amazing and worth the weight in gold! My sister bought from the bee/ honey guy. Overall it was nice, just mega small. We are from San Diego and are used to larger farmers markets. I would have thought that a farming community like Merced and the surrounding areas would have a bigger turn out of sellers.

I got wine on sale at a decent price. My husband was looking for a beer and walked around and…read morecouldn't find one. He found a soda, eventually. This place was just sad. It reminds me of my local Lucky store, which carries a foreboding that I didn't see coming. This place had the same energy. But finding a single beer, which is something you can do here, eluded us. The soda was fine, but it took such a long time to find. Maybe it's a Merced thing, or maybe it's an issue in this tiny pocket. The Dickie's BBQ had the same issue. Low standards, low energy, not caring so much. I say that because the Smart and Final near me is a bit more perkier and energetic and doesn't leave the sense of foreboding that this store has.

I drove around checking out all the chain…read morerestaurants, but then I remembered a restaurant that had been popping up on my feed--El Porvenir Taquería! As soon as I walked in, I knew I had made the right choice. I was greeted with a big smile and a warm "welcome in." The restaurant felt very homey, which I love. The staff was more than happy to help with the menu and even shared their favorite dishes. We got our order, and it was delicious! We could definitely taste the freshness of the food. The homemade tortilla taco was amazing! Everything we ordered was great. I knew everyone enjoyed their food because once we got the food, there was no more talking until it was gone. El Porvenir Taquería is definitely a gem in the town, no gatekeeping, definitely make a stop in and give this a try. You will not regret it.

I've come to this Asian store at least 3 times now. They have pretty much whatever you need to make…read morea mean Asian dish. They have fresh produce, huge bags of rice, and even a butcher section near the back as well as household items like dishes and utensils. There is no parking garage, so good luck with street parking! I've been lucky all 3 times, lol. The workers here are nice, and they are fast bagging up your items and ringing you up. I'm not sure how long it's been around, but it's pretty run down because you can tell it's an old establishment. Locals seem to flock here for all of their basic Asian food needs. They even have a hot food section that includes spam musubi, chicken and rice dishes, and shrimp spring rolls! I'd suggest getting them early in the day. My friend comes here a lot, so if you see me check in again, it's because she took me along! Lol Prices aren't bad. Most are pretty average. This spot will likely cross off the items on your Asian grocery shopping list!

The Chocolate Dipper is honestly a hidden gem here in Merced…read more First off, Brittney, the owner, is just an incredible person. She's kind, compassionate, and has this energy about her that makes you feel welcomed the second you walk in. Now let's talk about the treats. Everything is delicious, but the apples are on another level. I've lived on different coasts and traveled quite a bit, and I've never had apples with this kind of variety, flavor, and quality. They're hands down the best I've had anywhere. What really impressed me too was traveling to different coastal towns in California and seeing The Chocolate Dipper apples being sold in other chocolate shops. That says a lot about the quality and the reputation she's built. On top of being an amazing chocolate maker, Brittney is deeply connected to the community. She's donated baskets, treats, and even her time through hands-on chocolate classes for people in the community, which really speaks to who she is. If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend stopping in and checking it out. You won't be disappointed. My personal favorites are the Rocky Road and coconut apples. -Matt Escobar

Terrible business. They all too often don't give the customer their advertised prices. The majority…read moreof items will ring up for more than advertised or more than the shelf listed price. You can't see the screen or prices as they check you out, so you can't check prices as they're ringing you up either. And on the receipt, they break up discounts among several items and/or use a generic 'coupon' discount totaled at the bottom making it difficult to impossible to determine if you got the correct discounts. The only way to shop here and ensure you're not getting ripped off is to bring a copy of their ad with you, take a picture of the shelf listed price of each item you buy, stand behind the checker as they're checking you out so you can see the screen, and be prepared to argue the price on the majority of items you bought.
