    Wanted to try a new place for my Middle Eastern spices so I stopped here. I like how the bins and spices are arranged. I had fun going through all the different ones and seeing what else I could use. The price point for the spices and items was very good. Grains, seeds, spices, teas and even a few nice finds. Definitely coming back here again. Mel M Yelp 22:27

It seemed cool and not of this time when I went in and saw all the jars and met the man who owns the shop. He gave me the herbs I needed and started commenting on my looks, saying he likes a woman like me. I was uncomfortable and wouldn't go back, but it got worse when he kept asking for a hug, to which I declined. Then he came out from behind the register area and tried to hug me. I pushed him off of me various times and felt super unsafe and just wanted to get out of there, so I booked it and never went back. I see many other reviews saying he's so cool and nice. I guess I was just his type. Gross. It's really sad because herb shops are hard to come by in San Diego, but thankfully Datura in North Park is a reliable apothecary with kind/ non-rapey staff to boot. So I get all my stuff there now.

    I was on the hunt for Arnica and stopped by this location after researching a bit. The shop is…read moreunassuming from the outside and parking is on the street. Step inside and you'll see a vast array of labeled, empty glass jars. The shop owner is kind, knowledgeable and generous. He explained that he keeps his products sealed in the back to retain freshness, which I really appreciated. Though he was out of Arnica, I decided to purchase other items including a toothpaste powder that he recommended for tooth pain. I noted how lovely everything smelled and mentioned lavender was a favorite of mine. He disappeared in the back and then reappeared with a large bag of the most fragrant lavender I've ever smelled. It was from Provence! He offered me a sample to take home and I happily accepted. It continues to smell like lavender in my kitchen. No doubt I'll be back to support this local gem. Tip: this is a cash only vendor; stop by the ATM ahead of time.

I used to go here every week or so when I lived in San Diego around 2016-2019. I had just gotten out of an abusive relationship and had years of trauma from an abusive childhood. I was desperate for any kind of healing that works, not the Caucasian psychics on El Cajon Blvd who try and convince vulnerable people to spend hundreds of dollars on a cleansing or information that isn't even accurate. Julien is always right. I did buy cleansing from him, because I knew he sincerely wanted to help me, and my life changed. I no longer suffer from anger issues or self destructive behavior. I am now in a healthy, loving relationship, and am living in Los Angeles. Finally pursuing my dreams and aspirations I've had since I was a little girl that I never thought would be possible for me. Gracias Julien Por Todo. May god bless him. Come here and you won't regret it. Buy a green candle and have him fix it for you if you are having money troubles or in need of a job, or even if you want to manifest your dream job, it works. (Use with caution as it also represents fertility unless you need it for that as well.)

If you pay him he doesn't deliver your product, if you pay him for a job or service he screws you over. Acknowledging what others say and what I'm telling you 2026 , this guy is a long time scammer. All Botanicas in north park and city heights are a fraud do your homework and find the best reviews and you decide. Definitely this Botanica doesn't deserve our business.

Needless to say I made it a point to keep an eye out for why and make my own judgement. I gave it 5 stars because there was a young man (employee) that was taking a handicap cart in and saw that I was trying to back up into a spot but a cart was behind me. He came over and moved the cart for me and then told me to have a great day. Wonderful attitude! THEN the young woman who checked me out was extremely patient with me and so sweet. I forgot my card and had to get my cash from the car. I didn't end up getting everything I wanted because I didn't have enough $ but she wasn't irritated by it! THANKS Food 4 Less for this pleasant experience!

In the past you use to be able to come here and get pretty good deals but that seems to be long gone. Came here could barely find a basket to shop for food. The produce seems to be pretty fresh. There are some hotspots here and there that some of the produce could be a little bit fresher, especially with the tomatoes and the avocados. The other fruit and produce seem to be pretty good. They do have a smaller section of organic produce that seems to be fairly stocked well but price a little higher than normal. The staff is always friendly here. I've never had any issues with checkout. The parking lot could be a little cleaner as there is a lot of homeless that are in the front of the store and on the side of it. They also have security so that's good. This is not my typical store that I would go to, but I have and will when I'm in a crunch.
