On Tuesdays, tacos are $3 and fish tacos are $3.50 And they are effin GOOD. Jeebus they are good. I got the fish taco grilled for the first time yesterday. It was all I could eat. I'll be visiting for that more often. Even at full price ($5) that's a steal. IT WAS SO GOOD. They also have cheap, high quality meat. Which, in this economy, is a frikkin' god send. I go here for the meat a lot because I'm broke. And they are always so nice. I've never had any experience here where anyone was even approaching rude. Also, I am very shy about my bad spanish. But often, I'll try in Spanish and they will be patient with me about it. And I love them for that. They'll switch to English when they can tell I don't understand. (It's actually usually just me thinking. I think slow, lol.) Yeah. Lots of words, sorry. They have good meat. They have good tacos. They're nice.

I believe the shop is run by three brothers, and their humility and kindness really shine through. Every time I come in for produce, herbs, or teas, they take the time to help me find exactly what I need, and they always make sure their prices stay affordable for the community. It's beautiful to see a business rooted in culture, heart, and service right in the heart of Berkeley. I genuinely appreciate everything you do, and this is a place I will continue to support. Thank you for creating a space that feels welcoming, thoughtful, and full of love.

I got an assortment of Turkish delight and some pistachio baklava ($2.99). The Turkish delight is sold by weight across all the varieties and goes for $16.99/lb. The guy behind the counter was super friendly and offered us a sample of one of the flavors to try which I thought was a nice gesture. Everything looked so good, so we picked a couple different pieces of Turkish delight to try. To my surprise, my favorite ended up being the saffron, though rose petal with pomegranate and sour cherry with pastachio were close seconds. I didn't like the coconut or the chocolate one that much, so reminder to myself to skip those next time. After picking up the dessert, I did a quick circle around the store to see what they had. It's not a big store but they manage to cram a lot of stuff into the limited space!

They had a whole selection of homemade desserts on display. I was a bit overwhelmed and didn't know what to get and the guy behind the counter suggested the rose dessert. I also got a baklava and pistachio halva. The rose dessert was a bit too sweet for my liking but I liked the "rose" flavor. The baklava was my favorite. It was crunchy, sweet but not overbearingly sweet, and enough pistachio to balance it out. The pistachio halva was something I haven't tried before. When I first saw it, I thought the texture would be a creamy dessert but the actual texture was more claylike. It was good but due to the claylike texture, it did dry my mouth while eating it. Overall, a wonderful place to try various desserts that are bite sized. I want to call out that the guy behind the counter was really sweet and kept track of the order of people in line. I was second in line but was waiting by the dessert display area instead of the cash register. A couple cut me without knowing and placed their items on the cash register and expected him to ring them up. He stopped, apologized, and let the them know that I was second in line and he'll ring them up after he takes my order. I'm glad that he did that. If not, I would have been annoyed and left. So big thanks for being so professional!

Back in the mid 2000s, til about 2012, I regularly shopped in this small local,…read moreemployee-owned grocers because it was close to where I lived, I prefer small, neighborhood markets, and I liked that everything was organic. I liked the long-time manager Michael (now many years retired). I was out of state for about 10 years, and returned a few years ago. I have dropped in here now and then for an item or two (or just to use the restroom, which is always very clean), and left empty-handed each time because the prices are laughably exorbitant. You can tell a lot about a business - grocers or other - by the mood or attitude when you walk in. I don't know if employees have been burned by bad customers or if it is just more post-pandemic 'Weltschmerz,' but whenever I stopped in here I never felt welcomed, or as though the staff actually enjoy working here. I hear no customer-staff friendly banter, see hardly any smiles. It is just stony-faced, entitled (mostly white) people getting what they need, not interacting with or making eye contact with others, much less exchanging smiles or friendly "hellos." It is one more example of the bratty coldness that has taken over most of Berkeley, which breaks my heart. This used to be a lovely market to call my "neighborhood market," but absolutely no longer is. Before any employees or the manager chime in with a response to defend their laughably exorbitant prices by reminding me of how small a market they are - whoa there, little kitties - your prices are still higher than Monterey Market up the road or another employee-owned market, Berkeley Bowl. I can't even afford to puchase a bottle of mustard here, and must get it at Trader Joes. Be honest: This market is for VERY WEALTHY PEOPLE ONLY or for people who DON'T MIND MAXXING OUT THEIR CREDIT CARDS HERE so that they can feel like one of the "cool kids" for shopping here. Your produce is beautiful, your shop very spic 'n span clean, I appreciate that you offer non-GMO and Fair Trade groceries, but you could do better, truly, by making the less-than-ridiculously wealthy people feel more welcome here. You'd have to care about us first though.
