If you've ever driven on Cajalco you know this is the perfect pitstop! I've gone up going here and staff is always helpful and friendly. It was nice to have something so close to home with some great sandwiches and breakfast burritos. With the new ownership, they now have liquor available and better store hours. It's small, but has a little bit of everything inside. Snacks, juice, water, electrolytes, energy drinks, alcohol, tortillas, and sometimes produce. Lately they have the popcorn and tacos for sale outside read more

Been going here for as long as I can remember, the past 25 years. It has sure changed over the years but is still a great little place! They have all the convenience store essentials and some amazing food as well. read more

Live right across the street from here good place to get quick shopping done for the little things I need for food

I live right across the street good place to come get what you need when you need it. Have no complaints about the way workers treat you

Old time place for food and stuff. It's like going back in time to a kinder world--except for the modern prices.

Stopped in for lunch and was blown away by the service and quality here. We got the club, an Italian, and a grilled ham and cheese for our kids and every single thing was delicious. By far the best Italian sandwich I've ever had. My husband also had a pizza burrito which was out of this world. The woman making the sandwiches was friendly and was very nice to my young children. We aren't from the area and found this place while we were out for a drive, but we will definitely be making the 45 minute journey again to eat more sandwiches from this place. Even my very picky four year old devoured her sandwich. There's also a little shop outside selling peanuts and kettle corn, and those were delicious as well. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

This women was horrible to me and had the worst customer service. Her co workers where so quite and didn't even defend her with her poor customer service. I've been coming here for years and never got treated so harshly. I have a family and was buying food for my family and she decided to tell me in a rude way she's hungry. She seemed to not want too work today because I didn't say I was paying with EBT and she got angry that I didn't tell her. This women needs to get fired before she gets more customers disappointed. I pray that I can contact the store manager to report this action. Her attitude was so immature that she got the best out of me and hopefully she doesn't disrespect another customer that would actually act at her level of immaturity. My husband called the main manager to let him know what happened and the manager informed him just don't ever come back again if you didn't like that I hope it was really the manager and if it was then no gradually little by little he will see who this woman really is. read more

Ive been going here for their sandwiches for my whole life and they just recently got bought out by new owners and you can already see service getting worse cutting costs in the worst way, usually always am greeted upon entering, very homey environment, but not this time, and they are closing the deli early read more

Best tacos and sandwiches anywhere. A real hidden gem. I cannot go wrong with anything at this place.

Tacos. Tacos. Tacos. These tacos are absolute Literally hot off the grill and into your hands, these tacos can't be beat. And if you're hungry af, get the carnitas burrito... for big boys and girls or to share. read more

Great to have down the hill, however, super disappointed they stopped doing the tacos. We looked forward to that all the time on the weekends going by as much as we do have notice is not getting the business that used to. They said cause they're losing money I find that hard to believe because the taco plate was$10-$12 and tacos are not that expensive. It was nice having it sat there they have to start our own. read more

Although the market has changed hands, most of the people are still working for the new owners. They have a new phone number 951-398-7256. Other than that everything is still top notch in the market come see all the new product they are carrying. read more

Excellent store. A little bit of everything and great subs. Friendly staff and late hours for those who work.

Local business needs our support. They just had a fire and it's very difficult to r Ed build now especially with interest rates climbing.

My family and I have been coming here for years and even when we have people visit us we take them. I am a firm believer in helping out small family owned businesses. Today was a slap in the face. The girl at the register with the nose ring has zero business working with people. We needed Propane and went in to tell her. You could tell she was bothered. Waited for a long time. Another person pulled up for Propane and a guy came out to help and said that the girl had forgotten about us. When my husband went in to pay she was upset that my husband didn't know how much Propane we got. Then she tried to charge us for not only our tanks but for the other people who showed up. I highly recommend changing your staff if doing a register and having a bit of customer service is too much for her. I hear the circus is hiring...lol read more

Omg Asia makes the best turkey club sandwich !!! She's is always friendly with her customers and has a very welcoming and warm personality!! She's my favorite lake Matthews girl !! read more

This is a hole in the wall place that serves freshly made food. My family and I enjoy their sub sandwiches tremendously. The bread tastes fresh as do the rest of the ingredients in the sand which. I recommend you phone order if you want it fast as they take their time to prepare the food as you order it. The large sandwiches are about a foot long and are full of goodies. They serve it well. As most markets do, this is also a convenience store with beverages of all kinds, ice or last minute BBQ ingredients. Definitely a place we return to a read more

Lake mathews store sucks,everytime i go in for propane it like you are asking for something special.and its a pain in their ass to do this for you.When i just want something they have for sale.today i had an emergency,we had a hot water leak and the hot water heater ran us out of propane. So i fixed it and when't for some propane being friday couldn't get a delivery till monday.But it was raining and was told they don't do it in rain.I tried to explain it wasn't for my bbq it was for my house and i had my kid with me.He said sorry no.And there is a cover over the area.Thanks lake Mathews market. read more

Ok so this place is not the fanciest or prettiest... but this place has legit some of the best Mexican food. (And that should mean a lot coming from a Mexican!) tacos are so full of flavor and they never disappoint! My kids love the I e cream selection and the booze section is also not bad at all! If you like pickled eggs they have some yummy ones as well! read more

If you grew up 50 years ago then I am sure this is what you would remember a general store being all about! Friendly people, great food, good beer selection, and full of snacks that are fun to splurge on! This place has a deli inside that makes amazing grinders fresh to order! They also have some premade for those that need to get in and out quick. On the weekends they cook meat out front on the grill and do street style tacos! OMG! They are so good and worth having to wait for the weekend to get. The people are very friendly and are the kinds that would open a tab for you if you forgot your wallet or something like that. If you are driving through this place is worth stopping at! YUM! read more

I've bought burritos here a few times... but when I went in a recently the girls making the food were so rude!! One of them was rolling her eyes and and answering my questions sarcastically....My family and I aren't ever going back to that place.

Best sandwiches for miles. I've been eating their for years. The combo sandwich and pastrami sandwich are fantastic. The tacos to die for.

Great little store in the middle of no where. Has everything you could need and amazing tacos and sandwiches. Definitely a gem

I'm visiting family in Perris and my cousin knew I loved Mexican street food, especially tacos, so he suggested we stop at Lake Mathews General Store. As we pulled up, I caught a whiff of the meat the cook had on the outside grill and my "EAT TACOS NOW--EAT TACOS HERE" light flashed on in my brain. We each ordered one of each--carne asada, pollo asada, barbacoa (my favorite!) and carnitas. The were simply topped with chopped onions and cilantro. If you long for the authentic taste of those wonderful treats you had in Mexico, look no further--these are the real deal. I could close my eyes take a bite, and be transported to Mexico--yes, they're that good! The accompanying salsa bar may be small by some standards but the flavors are huge. Being a "pepper-belly" all my life, of course I had to try them all. And those labels reading "HOT," well, just believe them. I tried the "HOT HOT" and it fully delivered both heat and flavor--got my endorphins flowing! So I you find yourself on Caljalco Road on the weekend stop by. During the week I understand they have great sandwiches as well. But no matter when you go, you'll be amply rewarded! read more

Went for propane. In a good mood. Was going to get lunch also. After being treated like crap I got my propane and left. The shorter white old lady with gray hair kind of fat too. Helped me. Very rude so much so it put me in a bad mood. Tried joking with her. She just has very rude comments. Listen lady if you wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Doesn't mean you need to be a bitch. Get a better personality. You keep this lady employed and you'll have a one star rating before long. read more
