We asked for you/management, but the staff ("Lesly" and her two colleagues) refused to answer or help us. Instead, they either looked away or blatantly refused to call you/the manager. Even when we called later on the phone, they hung up on us after hearing "is the manager there?" To management: Please train your staff to be respectful to customers. It is unacceptable to insult customers and use profanities or agist language. We will never step here again. ZERO STARTS.

Wandering through many grocery stores over the years I have learned one lesson and that is uncut…read morefruit is a risky gamble even at some Farmers Market. Yes I seen all the hacks about certain fruits which should be ripe but end up not ready for consumption. Then there are some which are visible like green bananas and green mangoes. These are usually found inside the chainstore grocery stores. There is one place for decades in the Mission District which has been offering one of the freshest fruits around in SF. It's located on 24th street and it's called Casa Lucas. On a Mission District Summer stroll I landed at Casa Lucas. Growing up in the Mission Casa Lucas has had a good reputation on having great juicy fruits. Although our family shopped at Safeway for groceries but the fruits were usually bought at Casa Lucas. Inside Casa Lucas you will see lots of fruits and also some vegetables. You also find salty chips and cheese like some in SF. This is a good place to grab those sweet juicy strawberries and mangos on those sunny days. Had my experiences with sour lemons and and "sour cherries" in SF I always try to find fresh fruits and the seasons "varies" Spring is for the "strawberries"and the summertime is the best to enjoy juicy" blueberries " The "pursuit"for picking the best ripe "fruit "is a challenge even from the farmers market to the farm at its "root"you can't know if it's juicy there is no guarantee and it's not "absolute"

The refrigerators are becoming quite dirty; for instance, the fridge holding the cold salsa shows clear signs of mold. Additionally, the produce quality has slipped. Just last week, I wanted to buy yuca, but the skin was moldy, which completely discouraged me from purchasing anything. I truly hope management takes the time to deeply clean the store and fridges regularly. Next visit Ill take pictures and upload them to this review.

** The following review reflects my shopping experience DURING the COVID-19 pandemic. **…read more There's probably a walking tour that takes into account all the specialty markets to be found just on Mission Street. Because the produce is presented identically at most of the stores, none of them really stood out to me with the possible exception of this one. Why? Because they have a lot of tropical fruits I wouldn't normally consider had I not been walking by - mangoes, papayas, pineapples - probably enough for me to make my own mangonada if I knew how to make a mangonada. All the other staples can be found inside, and prices are on par with the other markets. I say check it out. Should I stick my thumb up now? RELATED - Lost in the Mission?

The owner does the wholesale buying early am so produce is fresh. Recently, they began offering cut ripe fruits - quarter slice watermelons, quart size containers of ripe papaya and pineapple chunks, reasonably priced. Hard working family. Now on Saturday & Sunday, one of the family tends a taco stand just outside on 23rd street side, offering freshly grilled chicken, beef & pork chunks in tacos with their own fresh salsa for $3.00. Quesadillas are $8.00. Both excellent. They also offer fresh Mexican horchata, watermelon juice, and pineapple for $3.00. Can even sit at a table to eat onsite.

"Without music life would be a mistake" ---Friedrich Nietzsche…read more I love Whole Paycheck err Whole Foods now owned by Amazon more than any other gluten-free sattvic vegan localvore or paleo pescatarian yet one of the joys in living in the SF Bay Area is the ethnic markets. The Lonely Planets Cities books lists NYC as the second greatest city behind Paris & San Francisco is number seven I believe behind Istanbul. NY & SF are the only two cities in the top ten cities on planet Earth. I think Los Angeles or Chicago is around 40 something on the list. I lived in the City of Angels more a bunch of suburbs spread out than a proper city like NY, SF, & Chicago. LA is car-city built around the freeway where gridlock traffic is a way of life unless you are taking the blue bus from Santa Monica to Venice. Not to hate on Los Angeles as that is where I developed a daily yoga practice in 2003. It where the Doors, Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Frusciante, Black Flag, Henry Rollins, & countless other of my favorite musicians either lived or are from. I have family in Chicago & it is nicknamed second city after New York. It is a proper city. It has cold winters next to Lake Michigan yet in the warm months it is up there w/ NY & SF as top "city" in the US. Instead of giving an essay on the top cities or mass of suburbs in the US will keep it a bit one pointed...NOW.... It is easy to enjoy Whole Foods yet the Mission is known for the Mission burrito which is world famous. There are debates of who started it yet many places have great veggie burritos which I order gluten-free vegan w/ veggie burrito in a bowl packed w/ veggies w/ guac or avocado w/ mild salsa w/ corn tortillas on the side. I recommend El Farolito, Papalote, & Pancho Villa Taqueria to name a few for low key, affordable, filling & amazing veggie burritos complete w/ made in house salsa. If you are in the neighborhood & live here in the SF Bay Area or have a kitchen in your guesthouse visiting from out of state check out the Latino Market Casa Maria. They have all you could ever want for DIY burritos or Mexican cuisine at home. From local made fresh as you can imagine corn tortillas to the biggest flour tortillas to roll a king or queen size burrito. I recently picked up 10 limes for a dollar, some mangoes for smoothies at home, & more, You can use tomatoes, onions, limes, & fresh cilantro to make up your own salsa. Experiment! Support Whole Foods yet think outside the box to shift paradigms to support your local Latino Grocery Store.

I was so pleasantly surprised at how clean, spacious and well stocked this place was. The shelves were stocked with all kinds of Latino related products and the fresh meat counter was fairly large. I decided to purchase some snacks here; a couple of Gelatin desserts and a huge loaf of Pan Dulce sweet bread, which were all very delicious. The staff Linda was very friendly and allowed me to take photos of the store for my Yelp Review. I will start coming here more often while on my way to work to buy more snacks and probably some fresh fruit, such as avocadoes or mangoes. I still have fond memories of when this store location was once a Walgreen's. But I am hoping to have new good memories of this new Casa Guadalupe 2.
