They have a good Mexican beer selection, and great Mexican cookies/pastries.

There's also a manager that hasn't been there that long he is always helping his colleagues and in a check stand or working around the store and I've seen the energy at the store come back. It was so nice coming in to Christmas music and people wearing holiday cheer meat department has very friendly nice people that are also helpful and I love their pre-cut produce makes fajita night a breeze. Vons may be a little more expensive but it's worth it for the extra customer service and selection. Grocery store next-door only has one kind of hairspray no men's hair gel and one kind of mousse. Vons has better selection and I don't have to wait a long time for someone to come unlock the items I would like to buy great job to the Vons team.

The store is usually fairly cleans and the employees are friendly. There used to be an employee I thought had the worst customer service but I think she's gone because in haven't seen her in years. They always have great deals if you know how to shop and look for them. It's important to look for these since everything seems so expensive these days. I'm always here so I'll definitely come back.

There is signage posted that the deli closes at 8pm. The last two times I've visited the deli…read morebetween 7pm-7:15pm, everything was packed up. The first lady explained to me they were short staffed so she had to close early so she could get off on time, but she still asked me what I wanted and was nice enough to go to the back and get it anyway. The second lady said the same thing - they were short staffed - but didn't offer to do anything and had an "oh well" attitude. I've now wasted gas and two trips to the deli that's supposed to be OPEN UNTIL 8PM like the signage says. I feel for the workers wanting to get off on time and the store being short staffed, however, that is not the problem of the consumer. Ralph's should adhere to their deli times and figure this out, or change the times so we're not inconvenienced. If I arrive at 7pm, there's no excuse for everything being packed up an hour early. 10-15 minutes I understand, but an hour is ridiculous.

The snack selections are some of the most interesting and tasty you can find. People working are charismatic and social. I've seen a lot of people complain that shopping here can be stressful or hectic but I've never felt that way, I always fee ecstatic and excited while inside as there's so much cool products to look through and you get to share that feeling with all the customers around you! Plus they try to make shopping fun for even your KIDS with the scavenger hunt for their mascot! It's cute they have different animals for every locations and it truly helps tired parents to give their kids something to do while shopping, another complaint is that it's more of an ingredients/ snack store (which you make meals out of ingredients....) I beg to differ because there is such a wide variety of meats and proteins, sides, veggies, etc. etc etc. they even have some of the tastiest frozen meals you can find and if you don't like something they have such a nice store policy to return even OPENED food. They give samples out and their meat is always more tender than my local supermarket. I really love Trader Joe's and it's one of my favorite places to shop around San Pedro and all around.

This amount significantly exceeds what California sales tax would justify and is higher than the advertised price. After reading other reviews on Yelp, it appears this is not the first time customers have experienced discrepancies between posted prices and what is actually charged. I'm sharing this for transparency so others can double-check their receipts. I refuse to support local businesses engaging in this behavior.

I've checked a few things and notified that pie crust I was buying was a year expired and the clerk didn't seem to care and just said it's frozen. But if you're getting something quick like snacks or alcohol it's fine. Could use a pick me up from the inside as it does look old and dusty but it's a corner store can't really expect much.

A-1 is an Italian market with an Italian deli counter that just does Italian and other sandwiches right. The guy with the mustache working the meat counter has been there for years. I haven't been back in many years but other than higher prices and moving the cashier to the other side of the aisle, it was like walking into a time warp. My steak sandwich was huge and the meat was as tender as I remember. So glad a friend mentioned he saw someone on social media who gave A-1 a glowing review that led us to grabbing sandwiches and hanging out at Averill Park to catch up on things. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only negative might be the parking which is street only. We got lucky and it wasn't very busy this is not always the case. There isn't anyplace to eat in the market but there is a park across the street. They do have some shady characters hanging around at times so you might want to find a different location to eat your food if you're not taking it home.

When you're in need of, or in the mood for Italian groceries, A-1 is a legit shop for all things…read moredelicious. This place has been here for a a while, a friend claims it's changed ownership, but I'm unsure if that's a fact. Either way, you're sure to find what you need and a few things you don't but you'll pick them up anyway because, well, Italy! On this visit, I procured some deli delights: soppressata, provolone, hot Italian sausage, caprese salad with pine nuts (nice touch) and marinated olives. A few cans of tomatoes, and some chocolate wafer cookies. I considered spumoni, but I didn't have a way to keep it cold for the drive home. Note to self: plan for cold storage next time! Service was swift and friendly. An offer to help with the bags out to the car. They don't have a parking lot, so street parking is it. Wear your patience hat because when it's busy, parking is a challenging. I'd say the only thing missing is a true Italian bakery. That's the one feature that puts a dent in my wallet...well, that and canned tomatoes. Why are canned tomatoes so darn expensive?? That DOP designation seems to add extra $$$. Overall, this place is a good option for shopping Italian products, albeit a bit out of the way for me so I'll likely only stop here when I'm in town.
