I pumped the tire up and I could hear the leak, but it appeared I could get it to Holley's Tire across town. (stick with me, this is actually a review of SC Ranch Mkt, also see my review of Holley's Tire!). Holley needed the car for about an hour, so I decided to find some place to fill my belly with some good grub within walking distance. Still on my journey to find the best breakfast burrito in the San Clemente metropolitan Tri-State area, I searched Yelp for something nearby. SC Ranch Market came up and I headed out as it was a couple minute walk. The restaurant and bakery are attached to the SC Ranch Market but I am not sure if it is the same name or different. My bad for not figuring that out. Upon entering, I saw the menus hanging above the counter and there were a huge amount of choices of tasty Mexican fare. I concentrated on the breakfast burrito section to see what I wanted. While there were some interesting choices, I went with the basic breakfast burrito with sausage. The BB is eggs, cheese, beans. After ordering and paying, I headed to a table to await my tasty breakfast treat. There are several tables near the door. The tables were all dirty, so I tried to choose the least dirty one and then got some napkins to wipe off the remnants of other people's breakfasts or dinners. Kinda yucky. Finally, I was called to pick up my burrito. My extra large breakfast burrito. Dang it was heavy. I lugged the log o' burrito to my semi-clean table and the table was able to handle the heft of this brute. I was nervous. A cool thing is that they have a nice salsa bar with some great choices and other condiments. I got a couple of tubs of salsa to try them out. Spoiler alert, they were both great salsas. Got that out of the way. The burrito was large, it was hot and it was one of the best breakfast burritos in the local San Clemente area. Eggs perfectly scrambled and cooked. Tasty, tasty beans. Soft, warm, grilled (always a fav of mine) tortilla. Melty, gooey cheese to bind it all together. A five star breakfast burrito. You will not be disappointed if you get one and I highly recommend that you should. After only eating half, I was actually pretty full. That did not stop me from stuffing the rest of the tube of deliciousness down my throat. I could not stop eating it. Go to SC Ranch Market and order a breakfast burrito. It is in my top 5 in the San Clemente area. You will not be mad at me for referring you to go. Bring a moist towelette to wipe off the table and you are good. Just go. Take it out if you don't like the tables. Try all of the salsas. Oh wait, I forgot one amazing fact. IT WAS $8.99! Less than 9 bucks for a massive, delicious, breakfast burrito. Where can you find that? Where? Tell me where! Just go. Stop what you are doing and go. Please go. I'll even throw in a moist towelette... Go! Eat Well!! Have Fun!!!

Persians know their produce and their prices. I visited here with my parents and was pleasantly…read moresurprised by all the variety if fruit and veggies. I had a question regarding bakery items, and especially for halva. The lady behind the counter was soo nice and helpful. Using my american farsi she was able to help me without judgment and guide me. Pro tip: you can order halva 2-3 days prior and have it made in small individual servings depending on quantity of people . For non persians reading this: God forbid someone has a funeral, memorial service, celebration of life, "halva " is something that is served along with "khorma" dates with walnuts. People like me, dont know how to make it. So its nice to know if that time comes and its needed , its an option to order ahead of time and have the custom items for our tradition to be available. The guy at the cheese/deli counter was also super helpful with me when ordering my feta bulgar cheese. We love our cheese, with walnuts. So since i was trying this one out, i decided to get a small size with the water in a separate container. Overall i like it here. Only issue, is the pricing. Mission ranch market a few miles down is more cost efficient and lower in cost for the value compared to here. So if you need to grab some items its worth coming here as it's closer. But if you are looking to go full in grocery shopping, i think MR market is better in terms of value and quality. Id come here and see for yourself.

I really wanted to like this store and gave it two chances…read more The first time, I bought two boxes of wonton noodle soup -- the same ones I used to get at Costco. I froze them, and when my son heated one up, the broth tasted and smelled like plastic. We opened another, hoping it was a fluke, but it was the same. We ended up throwing all eight bowls away. The second time, we bought a case of coconuts with the pop-top style opening. Which was new for us. After refrigerating them, we tried one -- same issue. It had a stale, plastic-like taste. We opened another a few days later, and it was no different. We planned to return them, but got busy, and now they'll likely end up in the trash too. After two separate experiences like this, I can't afford or justify coming back. Very disappointing.

I am not going to lie, the minute I walked in, I was pretty overstimulated by all the big signs, posters and colors! When you walk in, you see the prepared foods that include sushi, donburi, onigiri, nigiri, rolls and hot dishes like katsu, takoyaki, musubi and more. I liked that they offered so many options. There's also a selection of seafood and produce. Everything was reasonably priced. When you walk over to the ingredients section and other aisles, you find a lot of different seasonings for furikake, noodles, chips, candies and more. I need to go back again to have an even better look at everything. The customer service was very good as well. All the employees were helpful in finding items and they were really kind at the cash as well. I also like that they offer a self checkout area too. I will be back in the near future!

This is where I'm going to definitely tell you to never listen to anybody else's opinion and you should always try things for yourself. Because when I came here, it was beautiful. The hot foods bar may not be as big as the costa mesa location, but there's plentiful teriyaki chicken, salmon, soups, etc. And all of it is really good in my opinion. There's an infinite variety of Japanese snacks and the cashiers were so nice and kind. Even the security guard was helpful. I also just wanted to mention that the beef prices here were some of the best I had ever seen! Steaks for 7 to 8 bucks??? This place makes it possible to eat well even on a budget, and I am extremely grateful for that. I know for I fact I don't need to drive all the way to Costa Mesa anymore because this Tokyo Central is really, really great in my strong opinion. 10/10.

Not only do they have just Filipino things here they have a variety of Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese , a bit of all the Asian countries! The staff are all so super friendly and super down to earth! I felt so warm & comfortable here.

Service was great as I walked in I was given a salutation, and asked if I needed assistance as I browsed. They had meat pies from England. Play smells great, very friendly open atmosphere, enough for a wheelchair or mobile device to get through each market aisle. The only thing I'd like to mention is the fact that a few of the items that I would get here that I'm familiar with I can purchase a few dollars cheaper elsewhere. However, if I want to buy it all in one location, and save gas money and try something new then this is the place to be so therefore it gets five stars.
