There are several Target stores in my area. However, the reason I come to this one the most is that they will recycle aluminum cans and plastic bottles at their customer service desk. Just bring them in bags and tell them how much you have. Then they will pay you the California Redemption Value (CRV) in cash. It comes in handy as I usually come in to purchase things for my house whether it is toiletries, detergent for clothes, etc. They have a decent variety of goods and their prices are competitive. The also have price scanners available through out the store in the rare instance a products isn't labeled and you are unable to flag one of the many red-shirted employees working the store. read more

I think I'm spoiled from doing all my Target shopping now at the Irvine Spectrum location. I decided to stop at this Target tonight though because it was close to where I was ultimately going, A Snails Pace Running Shop on the other side of the freeway. This Target seems really old, and the layout is completely different from what I'm used to. I was wandering around looking for the few items I wanted. The store just doesn't have that sparkly shine I've become accustomed to. However, the one thing I did like was there was no wait at the checkout. I was really surprised considering I was there at 6:00 pm on a work night during holiday shopping season. So even though I didn't care much for the store itself, I give them 3 stars for a super quick check out for this busy lady. As a side note, after I turned out of the parking lot on the Charlinda side and was waiting to make a left onto Alicia, I did notice there is a clear view of the sign for Zabiha Tandoori Cafe. Woo hoo! (see previous review). read more

This is "my" Target -- I like saying that, as though I "own" this Target, rather than it "owns" me, which is far more accurate. When I need to fill the void, I come here! It's clean, seems newer compared to some of the surrounding Targets, and offers groceries. The parking lot is surprisingly small, but never unmanageable. Solicitors are a regular sight, but not too aggressive. I also love that it's right off the freeway. read more

Hey... what can one say about a Target store. I guess when I lived in Irvine I took target for granted. There were two within three miles of my house. Now I've moved to Laguna Woods and Target is no longer just down the street. It's a little bit of a drive. I guess now that I have to drive a freeway to get to you, my dear Target, I appreciate you more. Will u ever forgive me for being disloyal and frequenting Walmart when all I wanted was a little variety. I knew what I was doing was wrong which is why I was always incognito, lurking through Walmart hoping no Target fans would recognize me and possibly break up a loving union that has lasted decades. So, my beloved Target I once again pledge my undying love for your red concentric circles, your brightly lit aisles, your cool, solid merchandise, friendly and efficient team members and your good prices. If I ever do stray from you again, it will be with a heavy, guilt filled heart. And I promise it will only be a brief affair: no love, no commitment, no kissing. Just a cheap, tawdry affair until I am back in your arms. read more

Normally I'd agree with everyone about how much this Target sucks b/c it's old, dingy, run-down, blah blah.. but I love coming for Thanksgiving b/c it's not crowded! I am usually able to find the stuff I need for Black Friday b/c no one comes here! I am not going to the madness happening everywhere else... I will stick with my ghetto Target thank you! lol I just wanted some House DVD's and that was about it. My sister and I took our time to look around the electronics department which still had tons of items. She picked up her Sleeping Beauty DVD for a great price. We were both happy campers! They have a tiny selection of digital cameras so we didn't get to have too much fun there. Then I browsed the gaming section seeing if there is anything I want for x-mas.. except I own all the hottest games! O=9 So they are not really to blame for the fact that I didn't find anything of interest. We were out of there faster than you can say Peter Piper picked a pail of peppers! or something to that extent! ^_^ read more

Love love this target! I'm constantly using the drive-up option since I have two little ones. They always bring my items to my car in a very reasonable amount of time & it's always right. I'm there a couple times a week & I always receive great service. read more

Of course the Target closest to me is also the worst. This place has serious inventory issues, they're always out of the stuff I need!! Stopped by on Saturday to get a gift and a dozen eggs, and guess what? They were out of eggs! Last week I stopped by to get a can of compressed air to clean my key board and they were out. Bought a bikini here and needed to get a different size, none left. That cute onesie with the tie on it? Not in the size I need. So frustrating ... read more

Store was a mess and when I asked a lady if the had snow pants for kids , since we found some for men and boys , her answer was "we're not a snow store " very disappointed I almost went back to get her name but there's no point I rather jut drive to the one on Los Alisos a lot better customer service , she should find another job if she's unhappy read more

This Target has a lot of parking... off to the side of the building where there isn't an entrance. Almost no one was using it and everyone parked in front of the building, so that area was crowded. There's a Starbucks in it, but it's behind a wall. It had a similar selection to most other Targets with slightly different items in the clearance piles. The numbers on the checkouts went up to 14, although I'm not sure if that includes the self-checkouts. Anyway, there were only about 2 human cashiers at the time so we used the self-checkout. It went quickly and with minimal interaction with the staff. read more

They don't give the posted discounts And if if you claim them , you have to waste so much time . Use your time for better , shop some place else. read more

i usually do self checkout but i was rung up by Whitney and she was awesome! very patient with the people ahead of me and was polite and kind during the transaction, super helpful with product knowledge too - for the overall store experience everything was organized and stocked nicely which i liked. definitely my favorite target in the area read more

I just have to say the people at the customer service desk ( returns etc..) are the most professional, patient, very pleasant to deal with. Anytime I have a return.. They smile, are not rude, excellent . I am in customer service myself, and I must say they go above and beyond. I'm actually closer to the target on ( Jeronimo) but.. They are not very pleasant and are actually RUDE!! They could learn a few things from the staff @ the Alicia location. Big THANK YOU!! Lisa read more

Don't ever go there I waited in line for about 10 minutes behind about 6 other people. There was one cashier open, I had a question and NO ONE was around. I walked by about 3 employees and no one asked if I needed help. I don't usually shop there but it was on my way home. If you want to be ignored feel free. They also will not give 2nd chances if you are looking for a job. JUST DONT GO!! read more

This Target needs to just cut it's losses. Every trip I've had lately has been a bust. Whether it's rude and incompetent people dealing with the baby registry or rude cashiers (notice a theme?), it's like they picked the bottom of the barrel from the resume pile. Folks here are checked out. It's also pretty dirty. Probably the second-worst Target in south OC, preceded by the one off Oso. read more

Target currently advertises the extra safety steps they take during this pandemic including the policy of having employees wear masks and gloves. This store did not do that and I ordered items and used the drive up option for extra safety. The employee walked up without a mask and said it was optional when I asked about it. There is no way right now to email guest services or get a hold of anyone. read more

The remodel inside is really nice. I can't believe they have a Starbucks in target. Say what?!?! Very cool of Target to ditch their signature crappy food counter and replace it with a Starbucks. This store has a good size grocery store inside as well. The cashiers always look like they hate their jobs and are miserable. The happiest moment for them appears to be when they give you the receipt and move you along. The shopping carts are really pimp here..very quite operation. read more

This is my Target. There are many like it, but this one is mine. (= Through multiple renovations and management I have and will always continue to shop here. It is not the biggest Target, or the newest Target-but it almost always has exactly what I need (even though every time they renovate I have to find my way around again). Even though it no longer has the Garden Section-the added Grocery section is a big plus. Despite being smaller and older, it doesn't feel run down or beaten up at all. They have done a good job updating this location so that the loyal customers don't feel they have to sacrifice anything to keep coming to their store. If there is ever something there that I need that they don't have, the floor staff is always very helpful and can usually pinpoint a close Target that has it and can hold it for me. I love Target in general and this one's location near the freeway is extremely convenient. read more

Two weeks I went to the TV Dept. at 9::AM to get a Sim card for my new iPhone; their ad said they opened at nine. I was told that the fellow who does SIM cards didn;t come to work until eleven o'clock. So I had to go home and return in the afternoon. The job got done. Two weeks later I went back to buy a SIM card for another iPhone. I was there for over an hour. Their credit card machine broke down and they couldn't sign me up for Consumer Cellar? Plus the clerk served other customers while he was trying to solve my problem. So I paid cash for the Sim card and went to another Target store on Allicia Parkway, hoping to get the transaction done. No luck, its computer in the TV Dept. was down, too. I went home. read more

not the nicest Target I've ever been too but certainly not the worst. Staff can be difficult to find at times, but luckily the layout of the store is so similar to every other Target that you can find your away around without problems. read more

This location is good for a number of reasons. One it has. Huge parking lot. It's pretty large and it's conveniently located right by the 5 freeway exit. What I didn't like wasn't experience on Sunday at 3 pm. I was desperately looking for something that I wanted to buy and after roaming the aisles for 5 minutes looking for someone to help me. I decided to go to the cashier and stand in line to simply ask a question. Mind you they were not busy and it wasn't anything special going on. I don't know it was a little frustrating. Oh and the merchandise I was looking for, they did not have. Sigh. read more

Been doing my grocery shopping at Target for the last few months. Better prices than the grocery store chains on almost everything. Don't need a membership card either. $7.50 for a 12 pack of Miller High Life can't be beat, and its cold! They could use a better selection of yogurt and milk is a tad cheaper elsewhere. Other than that, its A-Ok. Photo Center is pretty handy too since I don't own a printer for my computer. Can submit online or bring in a memory card os USB thumb drive. Cheap prices for 8x10 prints. read more

This is the worst Target I've been to in the last decade since Target overhauled itself. They are just lucky they have a good location. I know some companies don't want to have self-checkout stands because they take away from the ambience and customer experience, but honestly I think it could only do better. There's one guy who has waited on me at returns, the food court, and checkout and he is awful. Other customer service people don't greet you or talk while they're ringing you out, are despondent to your small talk, etc. read more

This Target is definitely not up to par. I recently reviewed the Laguna Niguel Target off La Paz, which is being remodeled, even during construction they have a better supply & friendlier people. Considering this one is right off the freeway you'd expect a good selection & well kept store, too bad that's not the case. I only stop here now out of pure necessity. read more

I was at this Target and found 2 exact same tops, different colors and they both have different sales price. I asked Customer Service for an adjustment and she said they cannot do that due to policy, There was no explanation on why the items are priced differently other than it depends on when the merchandise was received (how new it is)???? Target used to be so easy and goes above and beyond for the customer. In the end, they rather lose out on a $13.98 purchase then adjusting a $3.98 price difference. Not satisfied, read more

This is, unfortunately, the worst Target in the area. I love Target; I shop at Target all the time. But this Target is horrible. The layout is particularly bad. It makes absolutely no sense. I went for 1 item, and after wandering around for 15 minutes (because the layout sucks!), found the 1 end cap with the item and it wasn't the type I was looking for. Thank goodness for the Target app - wonderful and was able to find that they next Target over had the item I needed. 4 employees passed me as I wandered - not one stopped and asked me if I needed help. I was reminded why I never come to this location. I gave 2 stars because it was at least clean (before their remodel, it was dirty and scummy in this location). And, all other Targets in the area seemed to have figured out how to get rid of solicitors - not this one! Bombarded once again.... Go up the street a couple blocks to the Target location on Jeronimo - save yourself a headache! read more

My niece and I had a great time shopping at this target the other night. My niece is only a baby/toddler, but the staff was very accommodating to us. It is nice to know that there are stores with management and employees who are kid friendly. Great job to whoever is in charge at this location! read more

I woke up on Saturday and realized I was in dire need of new kitchen ware since I moved into my new apartment. I walk into this Target with no idea what I was looking for, and in comes Ulysses; my savior. He guided me to everything I need and gave me the best recommendations on brands and different styles to match my personality. I can honestly say I would have been a lost puppy it was for Ulysses. On top of being helpful, he was a very genuine young man who took the time to make the experience personable. Thank you Ulysses!! read more

Don't ever come to this target if you have coupon they won't take any of them if you have a target coupon and a manufactures coupon they won't take both. I went up with 4 coupons it say you can use 4 of the same coupon in one transaction but they wouldn't take it don't go to this one go to a different this is the worse target read more

Favorite Target store! Although smaller than most, can always find what I'm looking for and more. Clearance deals great too. Store employees ALWAYS helpful and friendly. Convenient, right off the fwy in South Orange County. Keep up the great job :-) read more

I love Target but this one just isn't one of my favorites. As targets go it's a little dirty. They also never seem to have enough checkers every time I'm here. Definitely would recommend the Target on Los Alisos versus this one read more

This isn't my favorite Target (the one on Jeronimo is bigger and newer), but it's location is more ideal - right off the 5 and Alicia! It's an older, unrenovated store, but it's great for getting things in a jiffy! Also, I love being able to print pictures from my iPhone at their Kodak Kiosk - if you select the wait one hour vs immediate, you save about 5 cents per print and the prints still come out within a few minutes! read more

Andy the store manager is amazing... He went out of his way to activate my new card! Thanks Andy for going out of your way. Top service ! read more

Easy access to this store right off the freeway whenever am going down to south county, or further south county. Last time was here bought some poop toys to bring to the beach for some fun like squirt guns and blow ups. Good selection of things here although I prefer the irvine targets a bit better for quality of the surrounding area and more fun. read more

They are always out of what I need especially their store brands. They don't restock the store brands often and this is pretty much the whole reason I shop there. Yesterday I went there for 3 things and they were out of all three things (generic fluoride rinse, simply balanced riced cauliflower and jalapenos). Furthermore now they sell you boxed produce which I cannot stand. You have to buy plastic to get vegetables. Unjustified plastic waste in this day and age is plain irresponsible and simply not acceptable. I am seriously thinking about quitting target and I am definitely never getting any produce there. read more

This is a pretty average target, I like to come here cause its right off my freeway exit when I get off of work and its never really crowded. The staff is fairly friendly and I have never had to wait in line for over 5min, But like I said its nothing special compared to other Target stores, just a lot less people. Over all I would definitely recommend this place to any Yelpers who need to get in & out in a hurry! read more

Ulysses was a huge help. My man checked inventory to see if he can find an extra white claw 12 pack. He was able to find the last one in the back. Came thru, thanks man. read more

Love this store! It's smaller but the people who work here are so knowledgable. Sometimes it's not as easy to just wait and find a team member but there's call buttons throughout the store when I need help. The front end is wonderful as well: friendly cashiers who really helped me see how amazing the REDcard is and how it saves me 5% whenever I shop and guest service is great too! I went in for a return but the return was too old and even though they couldn't return it, they explained why and it made perfect sense. I'm thankful for them taking the time to explain everything even though the item couldn't be returned read more

The worst customer service at the Alicia Parkway Mission Viejo, CA location and Kay at Target Corporate

Meh, this is one of the older targets. I guess I am just spoiled by the newer, upgraded Targets that are constantly popping up around south Orange County. This one leaves something to be desired.nIt's right off the freeway and Alicia parkway so it is very conveniently located. It lacks a grocery department and a Starbucks but it carries typical target merchandise.. I would rather shop at the RSM location or the Irvine Spectrum just because they're bigger and nicer! :) read more
