Sedano’s – Doral

I love to run in and get empanadas and cafecito in the morning. The ham and cheese empanadas are my favorite. The tequenos are good. They bake fresh bread here too.

Went to their deli
First there was no large variety of food in the display area. Employee told me there don’t have much on Sunday. The employee was not too attentive she was looking away from me while I spoke with her which I found disrespectful and unprofessional.
As I began ordering she walked away and told a young girl to take over. The girl was more involved in texting on her phone than taking my order.
All in all Sedanos is a great place to shop but these two employees need improvement.

I have nothing against employees speaking Spanish. However, to have employees who cannot communicate with English speaking customers is just wrong. Please hire bilingual employees.

This Sedanos is always clean and organize. But the main reason I shop here is for produce, they have a huge selection and the prices are much lower than anywhere else when it comes to fruits, vegetables and spices.

I never thought I would be so impressed with Sedano’s but I have been. It is right across the street from one Publix, just two miles away from another and right down the street from a Winn-​Dixie. So why come to Sedano’s?
First of all its really big, clean and the employees are very nice. OK, so most don’t speak English, but you can get by if you try. They are still super nice.
The selection of Latin American vegetables and products are rivaled by none. This has also been the only place where I have been able to find the replacement carafe for my Mr. Coffee espresso maker (not even Bed, Bath and Beyond has it).
Also the prepared foods in the deli section are fresh and delicious. Need a copy of a key? Yes, Jerry’s is right at the entrance and he is just the sweetest guy around. I get all my keys there.
The best part is that no matter what time, what day I have shown up, it is never ever super packed like Publix. Nice!

I went to the one in Hialeah. Im having a little get together at my house this weekend and want to serve Pan con Lechon y Yuca, Arroz, beans and beer. I got 21lbs of Pork Shoulder on the bone for $ 0.69 a pound!!! Thats is going to be some good sandwiches. Where else can you get enough food to serve 15– 20 people for under $ 40
There are three sedanos within four blocks to the one I went to but the one on Palm ave. is the only one that has been refurbished. It isn’t a Stew Leonards but you cant beat it for getting cheap spanish food

This is a very clean and much newer Sedano’s Supermarket compared to the rest of the supermarket chain in Miami. For those of you who don’t know what Sedano’s is, it is the most popular Latin American supermarket in Miami-​Dade, often competing with Bravo Supermarket and Tropical Supermarket in its genre and it is mighty enough to also compete with Publix.
But I’m not really rating this supermarket for the grocery, since this is not my favorite supermarket. This Sedano’s has a special place on my map for having a great deli. In particular, the Pan con Bistec, a Steak Sandwich that is a stable of Miami Cuban cuisine. Also, just as a note, most Sedano’s don’t offer the pan con bistec from the deli.
Here, for less than $ 5, you can order a huge one, and the friendly old lady behind the counter would hustle off to get the ingredients while rattling off her tongue numerous Cuban drama stories to keep you entertained. If she didn’t have the ingredients on hand, she would go all over the supermarket for them — fresh tomatoes from the produce, freshly cut steak from the meat department, freshly baked bread from the bakery, and the list goes on. I would just sit on a chair at one of the available tables by the deli, and muse at how she’s so lucky on being able to access individual ingredients for a sandwich from a vast supermarket that she works within. People would not mind her as she’s doing her business, and I’m wondering why I’ve never seen this before in American grocery stores! It certainly has a mom and pop feel (and I’m not sure if it is because of her walking around the supermarket getting the ingredients to make me the sandwich or because of the numerous stories that she wants to share with her customers (in Spanish, btw)).
Anyways, the pan con bistec came out to be the best I’ve had in Miami. And I have no reason to think why the other sandwiches at this place would not be good. And like I said, for a good price! Whenever I’m back in Doral, and I’m hungry for a sandwich while I’m short on cash, I’ll make a stop at Sedano’s.
Also, regarding to this Sedano’s, I’ve seen more Venezuelan products here than in any other Sedano’s. It’s only here where I’ve seen the bakery offering pan de jamon and cachitos. And it’s only here where I can find frozen hallacas, several brands of tequeños, pirulin, cachapas mix, chicha, Venezuelan chocolate candies, and even more!
And there’s several more pan-​Latin products to be found that is not Cuban.
CON: Deli doesn’t stay open all night.
