    When I heard El Toro Supermarket sold chicharon, I knew I had to pay this store a visit. Parking was insane on Memorial Day, but apparently it's always like that. Definitely bring some patience as you might have to circle the lot a few times. They had large chicharon and bite size chicharon both with meat on them. Prices were reasonable, so of course we got a pound of each. The pork belly was fried nicely, with just the right amount of salt. Not too fatty, and had a good amount of meat to them. Dipped in vinegar or hot sauce...delicious! Great for snacking. The market contained everything you needed to make a feast...freshly made tortillas and salsa, meats (cooked or fresh from the butcher in the back), spices, fruit, vegetables, pastries (cakes in the back and a wall of baked goods lined the left side of the market), drinks, utensils, etc. Compared to your typical supermarket in the area, I would say El Toro was on the cheaper side. The market is spacious, with lots of room to move through the aisles. Staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!

    Being from NY, I am accustomed to visiting grocery stores with an aisle dedicated to Goya products. NC grocery stores struggle in this area so visiting a latino store is a must. El Toro is a spacious store with all kinds of hispanic products. Its' main focus is mexican food and has caused my family and I to try new things. If you love Jarritos sodas, they have nearly every flavor and you can purchase it in bulk. They also have large cookie/candy and bakery sections, making it a nonstop shop for fiestas. Their produce section is also diverse. Their Goya section is a bit lackluster but they usually have what I need for cooking, just not always what I want. I will continue to shop here because it's the only place I've been able to go to that has the necessities for Spanish cooking. If you're not accustomed to eating Mexican food, I highly recommend checking out El Toro. They are reasonably priced and have a lot of items to try. They're also located right next to Taqueria El Toro, which easily has the best Mexican food in Garner.

    Hispanic grocery store with a wide selection of authentic item to choose from. Price are cheaper than at other stores and some of the item that we use are in larger sizes and helps save some cash. It the back of the store there is cooked food to choose from. We enjoyed the fresh bread, empanadas and sweets in the long case against the front wall of the store. Everyone was helpfully and the store was very clean. Much nicer than the other stores we had to choose from before.

    Authentic Mexican market with an overachieving meat counter. Take a number and try the asada!

    It's hilarious to me -- and honestly very fitting, considering I'm married to someone from…read moreRochester -- that my 1,000th Yelp review is for Wegmans. I don't usually review grocery stores, but I genuinely love Wegmans, and this location in particular is fantastic. The store is always immaculate, the staff are consistently friendly and helpful, and it's usually very well stocked every time I go. I'll agree with other reviewers that Wegmans can feel a little pricier than some other grocery stores, but I've never actually sat down and compared receipts because, frankly, I love the products they carry. At this point, I'm a forever Wegmans girlie. Also, they keep sending me 10% off coupons, so apparently the marketing team knows exactly what they're doing -- because I absolutely will drive farther than necessary for a good grocery experience. Beyond the standard grocery selection, their prepared foods section is HUGE, and the sushi is genuinely good. Grocery store sushi can be a gamble, but Wegmans does it so well they even opened their own sushi restaurant in NYC, which is a pretty fun flex. As a bonus, they carry all the essential Western New York staples: Chiavetta's sauce, Spiedie sauce, kummelweck rolls, Zweigle's whites and reds, Bills merch, Weber's mustard, Labatt Blue and Blue Light, plus several Finger Lakes wines. Big fan!

    Well, if you know you know. And I could end my review there but you opened my review up to read…read moresooooooo ... F what you know about grocery stores because Wegmans is the King of High End Grocery. I'll immediately tell you that my star bump is because of cost and no dining at this location ("trust me bro", that's not really a major deciding factor). I've been to locations that offer up dining and amazing draft beer options, and costs at Wegmans aren't for the faint of heart but, in my Jim Carey voice, "lemme tell you somethinnnnn" ... their options will appease all types of food diets. Hands down, they have the BEST sushi options around. Fresh rolls, fresh sashimi, fresh nigiri ... the freshest and best you'll get at a non-Asian grocery store. Now you'll pay close to restaurant prices but it's well worth it. That is why I keep coming back to this location. And for beer and wine snobs, they got yo butt covered! I'd say 10-15% of the store is just wine and beer. Domestic and Foreign, as well as local. Gluten free brats, eat your heart out! I wandered down the gluten free aisle and got me some goodies! Gluten free Oreos and cereal . Wegmans brand is like a top tier option from Publix brand. And that's saying a lot, considering Publix brand is a galaxy away from Kroger brand. There are so many savory options here, including all the buffet stations. Listen, I just left here for my 5th time in (out of town but visiting for work) and will need to stop my review before my tummy forces me back there. Those in the know ... you're lucky to have this as an option here. Those out of the loop ... get some!!

    Another place that is a long time regular family favorite that I have never reviewed. Way over due…read more I never realized how lucky we are in Raleigh to have so many good Arabic bakeries until I tried looking for them in bigger cities (Atlanta, Philly, D.C.) that are apparently completely bereft of good Arabic groceries. Jerusalem Bakery & Grocery has most of what you need for cooking Arabic food I will say flat out its the best pita bread on the east coast. When i visited other cities family there would ask me to bring pita bread when I came. The meat, cheese and spinach pies are fantastic. The cheese pies are my personal favorites. The family that owns this place is really nice, and will be even more pleased and solicitous if you show a genuine appreciation for their food. Oh, and they have a dessert that I can never remember the name of, but which is also wonderful and difficult to find - it's the one made of filo dough with cheese inside and attar (the sweet sticky sauce) on top. I have yet to see it anywhere else in the U.S, and they do a good job of it. Like many bakeries, they bake early in the morning and sell until its gone. So best selection and quantity is going to be in the mornings. For the visit on Jan 7, 2025, I got 3 meat pies, 12 cheese pies, 4 pita bread bags, and 1 sesame date cookie package which is also a favorite of mine. Total $51.14. An important pro tip is that the pies and pita bread all freeze great. so go ahead and eat 1 pie while its warm, because it likely will be, and then quickly freeze the rest. Then, warm it up in a toaster oven.
