My wife had gone in this store once and was impressed with the selection of items. We had some…read morefolks over for a fajita grill so we decided to try it. I was impressed with this place. Clean and the variety is phenomenal. We got chicken fajitas and chicken al pastor. Absolutely fantastic. Our guests loved them. They make fresh guacamole and we bought the spicy one. The chips are made there and they are are thicker and crunchier. I thought they were okay but some folks loved them. Where they nail it is the tortillas. House made there and they are out of this world. More texture and taste than store bought. Loved them. I liked the big assortment of refried beans in cans or packages. We tried the El Salvadorian red beans and I really enjoyed them. Good change of pace. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I bought a bean and cheese burrito on the way out in the food service area. Seemed a tad bit disorganized and slow. Good burrito though.

I gave this place a try when it first opened and the meat was spectacular at super good prices…read more It's fallen way short of that now, I tried meat twice now from there and it all tastes old and chewy. I've had New York steaks that are to tough to even chew. I had diesmillo, arrachera, and beef riblets. All 2/10. Marinated or not the meat is horrible. Would NOT recommend meat from this place. The food court is spectacular with great food and prices. The tamales are a 9/10! Super delicious. Sad to see the meat is nowhere near the rest of the departments.

I was on a mission to buy flowers to make an arrangement for my niece's funeral service. I had…read moreplanned on going to Trader Joe's for their flower selection, but decided to try Save Mart on Pelendale on the way. What a wonderful arrangement of bouquets and floral arrangements! While I was looking, an employee walked up with a smile and said " I can add anything you'd like to an arrangement if you'd like something bigger". He was so helpful and added some more greenery that I liked to the arrangement. This young man's name was Marcus and Save Mart should be very thankful they have such a kind and considerate employee! Thanks again, Marcus!

Good Customer service now is rare . Took my mom to get a hot sandwich and the guy at the bakery…read morehad his headphones on and barely paid attention to us until I said something. Then I asked about warming up her sandwich and he said he already had the machine cooling. So basically no... the only reason to get a sandwich from the bakery is for it to be hot. Otherwise I could've made a sandwich at home for her so that was disappointing.. Then we go up to the register and all the cashiers are hanging out in the front so I have to wave one down to get us over to our register. then I ask about the bakery and stuff and she's like I'm not sure what time they close or whatever. She didn't seem to care ,didn't apologize or nothing. She just stared at me . I wish I could work somewhere where I can just hang around up front and get paid for it great work, SAVEMART.

Classy grocer!…read more O'Brien's Market is definitely a high-end local grocery store. They offer a wide variety of "typical" grocery store items as well as some more artisanal products as well. They have a nice bakery, hot food section, deli, salad bar, wine bar, and meat/fish counter. There is a huge gourmet cheese selection - literally any cheese you may want (cow's milk, goat, sheep) from nearly any country, they seem to have it! They often offer samples (if I remember correctly, if you want to try a particular cheese, they will give you a sample of it)! There are soups, sandwiches, salads, and other hot foods like mac n cheese. The quality of the meats is great! Everything is very fresh and well-maintained. The produce is very fresh too! Although many of these products are higher-priced, their other grocery items (i.e. canned/boxed/bottled/frozen foods) are much surprisingly cheaper than other grocery stores. The store is consistently clean and organized. The store hasn't been updated/remodeled but it still has a timeless design that looks very neat. The staff members are very friendly and will quickly help you whenever needed. The store is never busy and you will rarely have to wait in line. I definitely recommend shopping at O'Brien's Market and will be back!

Just went today with my wife to get there mini tote bag. Line was so long. When we were about our…read moreturn to enter, this guy who man the line suddenly told me infront of my wife and people behind us said , " You been here three times already and this will be your last day". I told him, yes but all those times I merely asked when will the bags arrived. He didn't see me getting or carrying all those tote bag. I was embarrassed when he said those words not only infront of my wife but all those people behind us who heard him. It seems he discriminate me. I'm sure some of those people behind us came many times for the bag. But why he single me out especially infront of those people. I asked the guy at the register who is that person manned the line and he said it's their boss. I am very unhappy customer

A lovely grocery store!…read more Trader Joes offers a wide variety of produce, meats, dairy, premade and frozen meals, snacks, and drinks. The have a nice cheese selection which make for great charcuterie boards. All their Trader Joe's branded items are great, but their produce is often lacking. I was looking for some eggplants but they were super soft and already too wrinkled to buy. I also tried to buy some heirloom tomatoes but their Best Buy date was nearly a week before the date I came shopping and were all squishy. This location is horrifically crowded. No matter the time of day, it is super busy and you can barely walk down the aisles. Everyone is bumping into each other and walking the wrong direction, making the shopping experience really miserable. I would love to walk around the store and take time to browse but I cannot bear to stay in there longer than a few minutes because I don't want to get bumped into. The parking experience is similar. There is never any parking and you'll need to circle the lot for probably 10 minutes before you find a space. Regardless, the store is pretty organized and the shelves are well-stocked. I've had mixed experiences with the staff. The majority of the time, the crew members really encapsulate the friendly and kind-hearted nature that Trader Joe's employees are known for. However, my most recent visit was unfortunately different. When asking for my ID for an alcohol purchase, I wasn't even asked. The cashier, without even looking up from bagging very curtly said, "give me your ID." Her demeanor was not welcoming and rubbed me the wrong way a bit. I would recommend those to come here only if they need something in particular and if you have the whole day to spend looking for parking and crawling around the store.

As you walk in, there's a refrigerator on the left stocked with a wide selection of meat cuts and flavored sausages, with plenty of marinated and non-marinated options to choose from. I highly recommend the Yukon Gold marinade. If you don't own a smoker or simply don't have the time, Austin's will even smoke your meat for you and have it ready when you need it. For hunters, Austin's also offers game processing with a variety of seasoning options and preparation options. The process is straightforward, making it easy from drop-off to pickup. The staff are consistently friendly, knowledgeable, and enjoyable to work with. If you enjoy quality meats and excellent customer service, Austin's is absolutely worth a visit.

They include all the fixings on the side, limes, jalapenos, radish, and salsa. The supreme asada burrito is especially good. They even toast the outside of the burritos. One suggestion though. They make everything fresh when you order. So it can take about 30 minutes. There's a number on the truck. I recommend calling ahead.

Smart & Final is alright…read more Smart & Final has a wild pricing system. You will come in one day and a certain item will be one price. You come in the next week and that same item has doubled in price. The third week, the same item will be less than on the first visit. And this is all without that item even going on sale. Sometimes prices are great and will beat their competitor's prices. Other times they will grossly overcharge you for something you can get at a fraction of the cost elsewhere. This pricing inconsistency makes it difficult to want to be a frequent shopper. That being said, they do offer a wide variety of items. They might carry a particular obscure brand that you can't find at any other grocery store but might not carry another super popular or mainstream brand. They also sell a mix of individual and bulk items with a huge liquor selection. The staff members are very friendly. They don't hesitate to drop what they're doing to help you or grab something from the back. The store is organized a bit awkwardly so when there aren't many workers, the line gets long and wraps into the aisles. Since its renovation, this store became huge and industrial. I would not necessarily recommend this as your go-to grocer.
