I've never been to Europe but this is as close to Europe as I can get in the states. They're known for all of their fish, salami, different CAVIARS, hand made dumplings and more! These are the 3 SWEETEST and NICEST ladies you'll ever meet. I don't know her name but she was able to go aisle by aisle showing me what everything is. I wanted to try it all but next time we'll get more. I did end up getting some Borjomi Sparkling Water and some Lays Crab Chips. Definitely never tried these before but it was the most minerallllly water I've ever tasted. I'll definitely be back for more! There were all kinds of Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Georgian stuff there it was awesome!

Everything is clean, beautifully organized, colorful, and incredibly fun. It's almost like Disneyland of Mexican markets! We loved sampling the tacos and exploring all the different food stalls. We picked up a whole roasted chicken with warm tortillas, salsa, and beans, which made the perfect family meal. Easy, delicious, and no one had to cook. That alone deserves applause. The entire market feels like a fiesta. There is vibrant fresh produce, option of authentic food in different stalls, and churros served hot from the fryer. We also grabbed some carne asada to grill at home to keep the party going! And then there is pretty impressive collection of tequila for the tequila lovers! Mercado González is more than a market. It is a full experience for the whole family, and we will absolutely be back. Come hungry and give yourself plenty of time to explore. Salud!

I'll be taking a very extended break from You Mercado after today, because today was my breaking…read morepoint. I've been shopping at this location for about a year and have been a customer of Northgate Markets for several years. Unfortunately, my experiences at this location have become increasingly disappointing. I've encountered raw chicken left on the shelf two or more days past its expiration date, fresh fruit and salsa still being sold after their use-by dates, and produce that was visibly rotten and infested with bugs. These aren't minor issues when it comes to a grocery store--they're basic food-safety and quality concerns. And then there's the customer service. Today, there wasn't a friendly employee in sight, and the customers weren't much better. I'd especially like to thank the grumpy woman on the scooter who apparently tried to run me down three separate times. I assume you were having a bad day, but judging by the atmosphere in this store, it seems like everyone is having a bad day, every day. No one smiles. No one acknowledges customers. No one seems remotely interested in providing even basic courtesy. I understand that people have bad days--I really do--but when the entire experience consistently feels cold, hostile, and unwelcoming, it becomes a pattern rather than an isolated bad day. The cashier couldn't be bothered to say hello back or even make the slightest attempt at being friendly, and the young man bagging my groceries was just as dismissive. I've spent years shopping with Northgate Markets, which makes this especially disappointing. Customers shouldn't walk into a store and feel like they're an inconvenience for simply being there. Today was the final straw for me. There are plenty of other places willing to take my money while treating me--and other customers--with basic courtesy and respect.

These are incredible, especially when you get them fresh and hot! My favorite is the Butter & Salt doughnut. Pair that with a coffee and you really can't go wrong. I love that their doughnuts are light and flavorful without feeling overly heavy or super sweet.

Hands down, the best donuts ever. No contest…read more I've been a customer since this shop opened in 2013 (I believe around this time). My cousin (who briefly worked there) brought my brother and I when we were 13 (me) and 15 (my brother). We got to eat donuts all day. One of my fondest memories with my cousin. Anyways, I've gone many times over the years and always recommend Sidecar to everyone I come across (if donuts come up in conversation). I went yesterday as well and my gosh, the quality has not changed! Sidecar always amazes me and whoever I bring. They live up to the "hype." In my book, they make the best product, period. Their huckleberry donut and choc-o-lot are absolute classics. Their seasonal pumpkin cinnamon roll donut was great as well. Their staff is always friendly and attentive. 10/10 recommend.

Food: We got the Beef Dip Sandwich and the Chicken Bahn Mi. Absolutely incredible. I want another one already. Bahn Mi chicken had a nice texture and flavor, and the pickled veggies add some nice brine to your bite, the peanut sauce that comes with it is very flavorful. The Beef dip was very juicy and flavorful, the Jus was delicious. We will definitely be coming back very soon!!! Highly recommend you try this place out.

I always enjoy coming here after sipping on my coffee from Portola. Environment - the shop is located inside the indoor hall. There are plenty of seats to enjoy outside of the restaurant but you can also opt to sit inside the shop and look out into the courtyard/plaza as well. Easy ordering with a great readilble menu. Service - every time I've gone every has been very nice. No Complaints! Food - I've tried all of their sandwiches and thereis not one that I would not recommend. My favorite, however, is the Granny Smith. It's the perfect crunch with melty cheese - yum! I love coming here and always look forward to it :)

No I would not just because the price and I had fresher piece of salmon.

After online research, this small business was recommended for a wide variety of spices, balsamic vinegars and it didn't disappoint. Was warmly greeted, walked into a beautiful small shop loaded with things you won't find elsewhere! Enjoyed not being rushed or pressured. My experience was like winning the lottery! The owner was incredibly knowledgeable, listened to what I needed and suggested outstanding products that I'd never seen before. Fresh, natural and potent flavors! Just the selection of balsamics are worth the trip, truly! In addition to all of the above; it also has eclectic, upscale gifts, unique clothing, jewelry, cards, soaps, oils and so much more. All of it is has a high end feel but won't break the bank. Choose here for a unique gift or thank you for someone special! There is street parking and also a dedicated free parking lot behind/next to store. Once home, everything that'd been recommended was exactly as promised and so very delicious! This is absolutely a small business that should be cherished and supported often!!!
