Compare Foods

Let me state first that I love independent grocery stores.
My Unilocal history is full of reviews about them.
I love the the ethnic nuisances and private labels.
I dig finding hidden gems and hard to find foreign items.
All that being said, this place would need a major renovation to barely reach the status of being a «dump»
I tried sorting through the piles of shotty produce, looking for a score. I passed the buckets of «salted pig parts» trying not to gag. I skipped past the fish counter, with the employees making comments about «the white guy»
The check out was pretty fast and easy, all four cashiers were sitting and texting waiting for a customer. Scored some plantain chips. Never again.

This supermarket is pretty ghetto and isn’t very spick and span.
However, everything’s organized to a certain standard, and there’s actually a lot of produce and goods to choose from, especially if you’re going to cook hispanic food.
I stop by here on my way home from work sometimes to pick up avocados, yuca, mangoes, and bread. The prices are a bit less expensive than what you’ll find at places like H-​Mart, King Kullen, but nothing here is organic (at least from what I’ve seen) so you’re better off at Whole foods/​Trader Joe’s if you’re looking for that kind of stuff.
This place is pretty hit or miss. Sometimes the produce is fresh, but sometimes the mangoes/​avocados are over-​ripe.
Pretty much a grocery store for the locals in the area… not really a place to go out of your way for.
