    We visited Food City in Avondale, AZ when on a trip to the Phoenix area at Christmas. The store was packed with shoppers and well-stocked. The clerk who boxed up the sweet breads we bought was very friendly.

    Torta awesomeness.
    Luis M.

    I love the food at Food City but today was very disappointing. I ordered red menudo to go and when I got home I had a horrible surprise. The 2 extra large containers were nothing but tripe and I had maybe 100 kernels of homeny. I live a good distance away so I am not taking it back for a refund but I wanted to make sure no one else makes the same mistake. The people who served it should have noticed nothing but tripe was in it and thrown some of the tripe away. I will consider it a donation and last but not least I strongly recommend the carne asada torta it is amazing.

    Tortilla

    I go there for the flower tortillas; however , lately it's impossible to separate them without tearing them apart. It's not worth the drive.

    Love the chorizo egg and potato burritos

    Love food city for so many reasons but, specifically the awesome produce prices and deals. Ever since I was introduced to the very tasty breakfast burritos I am hooked. I definitely tread back to this spot for the great food to dine on while I do some grocery shopping.

    Freshly made Bolillo Rolls and Tortilla Chips. Yummy.

    Delayed post from about 30 to 45 days ago. For some reason it didn't get on. In addition to my love for the Bolillo rolls, their thin sliced tortilla chips are absolutely delicious. As are their fresh tortillas. While I don't care for their refried beans, they have a pre-made Mexican rice in the Deli section that is really, really good. Also, their everyday prices on produce is typically lower than most stores sale prices.

    Who knew a little restaurant inside a grocery store would be so good. Food City is a great everyday low price supermarket. Food city is like every modern supermarket that offers full service meat department, pharmacy items, baked sweets, picnic supplies and a full line of groceries. However, what the other markets cant offer and food city can is a quality line of authentic mexican foods. Food city is where I go to get my homemade tortillas, tortilla chips, and fresh made salsas. As soon as you walk through the doors of Food City you know this is not the normal grocery store. You feel like you entered a new world. There is mexican music playing through out the store, smells of mexican food, mexican baked goods, and authentic Agua Fresca in large glass jars. Tucked in the corner of Food City, is a huge tortilla-making machine. The smell of fresh tortilla in the morning draws you in and you can't avoid the temptation to purchase a few dozen fresh and hot off the press. The food is excellent. Everything is reasonably priced & the portions are big enough that you will take home leftovers. I had a breakfast burrito for just $3.49, and it was big! I have aslo had their pollo asado deal which included a full grilled chicken, rice, beans, salsa and 20 corn tortillas and it was also delicious.

    Very dirty store and carts. Went in for the $3.97 per pound T bone steaks. They were prepackaged in 3s. Two of the steaks have absolutely zero filet. Nothing on the other side of the T. They were hiding under the other steak. See pic...one on far right was on top. Others couldn't be seen until package was opened. Total False Advertisement. Those don't qualify as T-bone without the filet.

    More trash outside!

    Fine store, with good selections but there are a full problems. The outside is full of trash, and there are homeless people sitting outside. In the inside, the ceiling is very dirty, with the vents full of dust. Also, the outside fan is very loud, it sounds like it needs to be replaced. They either need to fix these issues, or remodel this whole store.

    This is the closest Fry's to my home, but I always avoid shopping here. The only reason I went…read moretoday was because Instacart sent me an unusually high paying order. Honestly, the rate would have to be very high for me to willingly deal with this store. I imagine other shoppers avoid orders from this location for many of the same reasons. There are frequently no carts available near the entrance, so customers have to walk through the parking lot in 100 to 110 plus degree heat to hunt one down. The metal carts become extremely hot, which is especially difficult when you are also trying to manage a toddler. Today, I arrived around 7:00 p.m., when it was still over 100 degrees outside, and there was a steady line of customers walking through the parking lot looking for carts. To make matters worse, the main entrance was closed. Customers had to walk all the way around and enter through the side that requires you to filter through the checkout lanes just to reach the grocery section. I asked an employee why the main entrance was closed, especially when families with children were walking around outside in extreme heat pushing burning hot carts, but no one could provide a real explanation or seemed particularly concerned. Meanwhile, several employees appeared to be standing around talking. The condition of the store itself is also disappointing. It feels run down and poorly cleaned, and the selection is noticeably worse than at other Fry's locations. They are frequently out of items I need and have a very limited selection of healthier snacks, despite carrying large quantities of highly processed snack foods. The dairy area is especially concerning. There is often a terrible smell when the milk refrigerator is opened, and I regularly see spilled products, debris, or items lying on the floor inside the refrigerated section. The odor alone makes me uncomfortable purchasing milk from this store. I shop at Fry's stores throughout the Valley, including locations in San Tan Valley, Scottsdale, Surprise, and Buckeye, so I have plenty of other locations to compare this one to. This is easily one of the worst Fry's stores I have visited. A new Fry's Marketplace is supposed to open nearby, and I sincerely hope it is placed under completely different management. The surrounding community deserves a grocery store that is clean, properly stocked, safely accessible, and managed with basic consideration for its customers.

    This is my go-to stop and shop. Whenever I need anything, I will generally check at this Fry's…read morefirst. It has a wide variety of selection, and a friendly staff. The only knock on it is that it can sometimes be unorganized/dirty. Other than that, this place rocks!

And everything you need for your recipe, from every Latino brand is here. It's in stock, it's clean, it's fresh. The produce looks fresher than Safeway. Baked goods are never stale, at least never anything I have grabbed out of the case. But, I digress because you can look at my headline and see exactly why I am here: for the tacos. If you are smart, you will ask for quesabirra tacos. And, if you are like me and took a lot of Spanish but struggle to speak it - especially when rolling an "rr" is involved - you will quickly find out how *not* smart you are. Because you will be corrected every single time you come here and tell one of their chefs that you want quesabirra (what am I doing wrong?? lol). But, then the chef lets that minor infraction go by and is off to make your tacos, to order. Off to dip a fresh tortilla in perfect red stew and fill it with its tender, savory beef and a generous handful of queso. Then the chef sizzles it up perfectly on la plancha before hustling back over (it's always busy) to the condiment case, where you better be waiting (this isn't the time to go shop!) to indicate what you want on your taco. They have alllll the things, like 10 different salsas, fresh guac, all kinds of taco-ready raw or cooked veggies and concoctions. And that perfect, beefy red consumme is ready for you in that case, for FREE. (As it should be. I was recently charged $3 at taco truck. Travesty!) Don't forget to ask, in case your chef forgets. Then my tacos are all packed up and I'm sent off to the register to pay for them with all the other goodies I have scored. Everyone who works here - and there are a lot of people - is unfailingly kind and helpful and they serve you fast and efficiently. We are here at least every other week after church and it makes for a blessed day!

Lam's is a medium size market with merchandise squeezed into every nook of the store. The isles are someone narrow and have a dizzying array of things to take in. They have a nice meat market with seafood galore. They also have candy of all types and prepared food for takeout. There's just too much to describe. What I thought was really neat, was that they have isles for each ethnicity; Chinese, Japanese, Filipino and even Jamaican. I was looking for banana sauce for my Lumpia and found that it was not with the other Chinese sauces. I had to look for it in the Filipino section. Interestingly, the crowd there was very diverse. If you need fresh seafood or anything Asian food related, I can't imagine not finding it at Lam's! I will let my photos do the talking.
