Scammers! Always check the prices before you pay and check the change!…read more They always try to scam you with higher prices or give you the wrong chnage. When you try to confront them, they try to gaslight you and pressure you to leave because there's a line. I asked them to check the security cameras and they did but then said oh no there's no wifi right now LOL. They're hella rude and pushy.

I was walking around Balboa St after 6pm, and saw some nice oranges at this produce market…read more Actually there was a variety of fresh fruits and veggies, but I was only interested in the oranges (my favorite fruit). Balboa Market is a nice neighborhood market that has a little bit of everything. The prices are, of course, higher than in a big supermarket. But I have found better customer service and just plain better treatment in smaller markets, than in chain supermarkets. Why? They want repeat business and positive opinions about the place (like Yelp reviews). When you shop in a neighborhood market, you just buy what you need. While I was paying for my oranges and chocolate chip cookies, the clerk tried to sell me ice cream. I told him it's around 57*F and drizzling outside. He said eating ice cream might make you feel warmer. Then we had an amusing discussion about San Francisco weather. Maybe 57*F is balmy for the "Avenues" because people were outside eating dinner in parklets. Anyway, Balboa Produce Market is a nice neighborhood store, and is probably a popular choice among locals. That's why it was still open pass 6pm.

The queue line is now towards the refrigerator, which is a huge improvement compared to before where it blocked half way down the store. Beware of grandmas and grandpas trying to cut you in line!

Not a problem for me when getting fresh and affordable groceries without going to Chinatown! Thanks boss market!

Dear Cody, In the…read morepast several months or so, I would take occasional walks down to Boss Supermarket to pick up a few items for the fridge. I wouldn't call Boss an especially appealing market to visit. The floors are a bit grimey, a byproduct of water from the fish tanks and a lack of concern from both management and shoppers. The way the sole of my shoe sticks slightly to random tiles feels like a surprisingly interesting sensation, but in a half disgusting sort of way, I guess. As I navigate around the market, my shoe peels off to produce an audible chhhhweeeck sound reminiscent of furious tape and paper unwrapping on Christmas mornings. All in all, along with poor lighting, the unique smell of 'choy sum' on shelves, and a general sense of musty-ness, Boss Supermarket absolutely captures the authenticity of the Chinese supermarket in San Francisco. None of the things I mentioned above actually bothers me, at least not enough to stop me from getting a pack of Vitasoy and a jar of spicy pickled bamboo shoots. The former is a vegan drink option for Mommy, and Boss carries the black soy milk flavor (not to be confused with the chocolate soy milk flavor), which is a rarity in these parts of the city. The latter is a eating habit I've picked up on recently. The spicy bamboo serves as an excellent side to white rice. When time is low and Mommy is too pressed for time to come up with a fun dinner, these bamboo shoots can literally spice up a bland meal. But then there are the extremely narrow aisles. Standing side by side in a Boss Supermarket aisle, you may be able to fit one average sized man and a slender praying mantis. Imagine a clumsy person trying to shop here with a grocery list in hand. Not an excellent experience. Yet, it's not so much the claustrophobic layout that annoys me. It's the other shoppers. Cody, growing up in the Sunset you'll meet a lot of older folks from Grandmama's generation, perhaps slightly older. In these parts of Noriega especially, they may lug around a grocery cart and fashion an abnormally large visor. Tennis shoes ideal for walking, multi-purpose windbreaker, and the double facemask round out their staple. Everything about them screams utility and efficiency, and they bring that mentality straight into the narrow aisles of Boss supermarket. Sometimes, and I mean sometimes in a very frequent sort of way, they value their need for efficiency over their respect of my personal space. They may squeeze around the back of me without uttering a word. Bumps and nudges like they're jostling in the box for a rebound. And the most egregious -- overt cutting in line with no regard for me and my six pack of vitasoy and jar of spicy bamboo shoots. It annoys me. It shouldn't. I'm not really hurt when their elbows scrape across my arm. I can very well afford the 30 additional seconds I stand waiting in line when they dart in front of me at the cash register. But I am. I am annoyed. I am annoyed that people can be so narrow in their thinking that they see only themselves. That they disregard others in their vicinity, their community. So narrow in their thinking they think of no one but themselves. And as I'm writing this, it annoys me that I didn't realize that this applied to myself as well. Cody, part of our community are the older folks from Grandmama's generation. For those folks, they lived in a generation past, an ocean away, a world apart. Stories from Grandmama and Great Gramps tell me that it was a world without luxury, and at times too often, a world without food. For many, it was a constant scrap for the next meal, or even just the next bite. An 'excuse me' sounds most out of place when everyone has acknowledged that there is a fight for the next handful of rice. If I am not so narrow in my thinking that I think of no one but myself, then I may have been more understanding of how experiences can shape our upbringing. That superficial manners are far from a judge of character. If my thinking were not so narrow, then perhaps I would realize I am the one who is disregarding others in my community. Upon reflection, it is obvious that I can do better. Easier said than done, my son. When I am annoyed, I am annoyed. In a flash of a moment, it may be hard to hide my scowl as another person cuts me in line at Boss Supermarket. I tell you this in hopes that you can do better than your old man. Maybe with this understanding in your pocket, you grow up to be more charitable to what I wrongfully perceived as 'discretions'. And maybe when I fail to hide my displeasure by the cash register, you can tug on my arm as your discreet signal to remind your dad to check himself. Maybe. Or maybe that will be asking too much of you. How about this? When we go to Boss together, we will look around, and naturally I would think, we would be reminded that we should not allow our thinking to be as narrow as the aisles that surround us. Love always, Daddy

Growing up in San Francisco there is something I noticed which doesn't really get highlighted and…read moreis a collaboration between two different continents and many different cultures . Walking around in the Mission District and you would notice lots of small businesses which are grocery stores and markets will have food and drinks which are Latin American and Asian . Somehow these visible stores in the San Francisco neighborhoods are usually invisible to the media and that includes social media .The only time I see these foods are being celebrated is when they are separated at a Costco or at ethnic food aisles at an AI ( Albertsons Inc.) store such as a Safeway which will have these bottles and cans on the shelfs. Some restaurants in the city which serves fusion Latin and Asian dishes are getting their produce when they need to reload at these grocery stores . I ran into one on Clement street which was formerly known as El Chico Produce and it's now called Del Rio Produce. On a Clement street stroll I landed at a grocery store with international products and has Chinese products. Inside it felt like Deja Vu as I felt going back in time to my childhood in the Mission District shopping at a similar grocery store. You will find an aisle of international cheeses. You will find also are lots of ingredients to make Adobo chicken. You will also see ramen with Korean, Japanese and Mexican flavors. There are different types of berries and nuts available. This is the spot to embrace the international diversity of San Francisco through drink , foods, and produce . In the month of May it's AAPI month and Cinco de Mayo along with Carnival in San Francisco so plan a visit to Del Rio Produce ( Not in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil home of Carnival) on 23rd Avenue and Clement. This Supermarket reminds of the ones in SF that are mostly in the Excelsior and the "Mission" selling different Latin American and Asian products to make food dishes in the cultural "tradition "also offering organic fruits and vegetables to promote "nutrition" these international foods stores in the city should get more "recognition" In San Francisco Real estate prices stay steady or "soar" and if you don't live in the neighborhood you find about these places online with Yelp and "Nextdoor "some try to connect this food as part of some narrative and "folklore "but these ingredients are still being sold today and never forgotten at the city international "grocery store "
