They even had a Masjid in the back of the store and an organic food section. The cashiers were very courteous and friendly, this is no lie this is the truth! At the other meat stores in Houston half the time I can't even get a salaam or hi and forget a smile. Maybe because I'm African American. Anyway from the heart they will be greatly missed.

They have a hot foods bar where you can order things like samosas and tandoori chicken. They have most of the items a regular grocery store would have plus some "exotic" stuff. They have an amazing dairy & ice cream section. Some of the best ice cream you will ever find can be found in the store!!! I love saffron & pistachio ice cream. I love the variety of plain yogurt's and dips. They have a huuuuuuge spice selection and every time I swing by the employees are always helpful and friendly!!! It's a little chaotic in here because it's set up like a warehouse store and business is booming, but don't let that keep you from doing by. I absolutely love this shop!!!

El Ahorro is one of my favorite Mexican supermarkets in Houston! I started coming here to get my…read morebrows done at Perfect Eyebrows (shoutout to Lebna). The location is convenient with other restaurants, a dollar store, bakery and a car wash sharing the same lot. The store is clean, well organized, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. I'm not a Spanish speaker but I try my best and despite the language barrier, they are always respectful and patient. One day I'll be able to order my tacos exactly the way I like without having to look at Google Translate lol. The meat market has an excellent selection with fresh, quality cuts and preseasoned meats at great prices, and the produce section consistently has some of the best deals in town. They also carry a fantastic variety of international and authentic Latin products that can be hard to find elsewhere, making it a one-stop shop for just about everything. Don't leave without stopping by the restaurant inside. Their pastor tacos are absolutely amazing, and they have a great selection of fresh aguas frescas and other beverages that pair perfectly with your meal. The prepared foods always look amazing. I've seen everything from roasted chickens to three-piece meals and fried chicken, generously portioned, and very reasonably priced, making it an incredible value. Whether you're grocery shopping or just stopping in for lunch, El Ahorro delivers great prices, quality products, and authentic favorites every time. They also have all the essentials that you wouldn't need like cleaning supplies, and cat litter. I always do a little shopping after getting my brows done and the tacos are a must have. I can't leave without them. Five stars. Highly recommend.

This is not a store you come get all of your mercantile needs met. They have a specific lane they…read moreprovide for me. I wouldn't risk buying meats from this place. Only things that are prepackaged is in my radar. That leaves me with the basics - beer, Hispanic dairy products like crema and cheeses, and goods like canned beans. The only other thing I could recommend would be the various salsas kept in the checkout lane endcap coolers. They are freshly made from La Michoacana (meat market) else and brought in. They all are delicious with names like, "taqueria salsa", "salsa tatemada", "tomatillio salsa", and "molcajeta salsa" to name a few. The decor is dated and the store looks old, but it's always clean when I visit. They seem to do a lot of prepared foods. You can get an authentic breakfast or lunch made while you wait.

There's ready made meals, sushi, sashimi, sides, snacks, sweets and drinks. For the chefs out there, they have premium quality meats and seafood too! Pretty much anything you'll need to complete a dish. The produce section may not be big, but it's satisfactory. On some occasions they'll have weekend pop-ups with tastings. The employees are helpful, and the store itself is clean. Something to be aware of, the line to checkout can be very long and hectic. Especially on weekends and during peak hours. If you're looking for a delightful Japanese meal, snack, or quality ingredients to whip up something magical, this is your place!

I stopped by Zaina Market and Bakery yesterday and tried their Iraqi-style chicken and beef…read moresandwiches (not the shawarmas), and honestly... I think I like these even more than shawarma. Both sandwiches were packed with flavor, but the chicken really stood out - it was perfectly seasoned. They include their own house sauce, which is great, but I'd definitely recommend asking for extra on the side since they don't put a ton in the sandwich. That said, it's still not dry at all - just really well-balanced and flavorful. The price is another huge plus. At around $5 per sandwich, it's hard to beat, especially considering the quality. These are easily some of the best Iraqi sandwiches I've had. They were out of a few items when I went (including shawarmas), so it seems like they can run out if you don't go early - just something to keep in mind. On the bright side, it says a lot about how fresh and popular the food is. Service was solid, and there's a small seating area inside the market/bakery if you want to dine in. Overall, I highly recommend this place. Great food, great prices, and definitely worth coming back - I'm already planning to try the lamb and Iraqi kebab sandwiches next time.

If you haven't tried the tiramisu latte yet, do yourself a favor. What sets this place apart is it's not just a coffee shop. You can browse imported Italian cheeses, olive oils, cured meats, and wines while you wait for your order. The staff is warm and genuinely welcoming every time. It's small and cozy, which is part of the charm. Feels like a neighborhood spot that actually cares about quality. Whether you're grabbing a quick espresso or sitting down for a panini and a glass of wine on a Thursday night, this place delivers. Houston needed something like this.

The store can get pretty busy, but that's usually a good sign of how popular it is. Prices are reasonable, and you can find things here you won't see at regular grocery stores. It's not the most organized place, but if you take your time, you'll find what you need (and probably a few extras). Definitely a go-to for specialty items.
