“Cashier(guy) at the self checkout was very rude. Telling me that I didn't know how to use the app and probably didn't clip the digital coupon, instead of helping out.
Even though showed him I this add the coupon.”

“2026-03-26, evening time at the store!
Eric! You made my day finding sth for my niece. We came from another side of the world and found the great surprise from you. We all really appreciated it. We all felt very good with your deed and kindness. This will always make us smile. You're the most valuable asset of Trader Joe's. You only one were able to make all four of us very happy. If we get back to San Diago again, we'll definitely come to see you at the store. Wishing you all the best!
Still smiling!!!!!”

Great market with an excellent selection of beer and wine. Everything is always clean, organized, and easy to find. Frank and Joseph are especially awesome—always friendly, helpful, and ready with great recommendations. Definitely one of my favorite spots—highly recommended!”
“If you're a bourbon lover and you live anywhere near Imperial Beach, do yourself a favor and make IB Liquor your go-to store. Their bourbon selection is honestly one of the best I've found, with everything from everyday favorites to hard-to-find bottles. And if they don't have what you're looking for, they'll go out of their way to find it for you.
What really sets this place apart, though, is the people. It's a family-owned business, and you can feel it the moment you walk through the door. They genuinely care about their customers and treat you like a regular, even if it's your first visit.
A huge shout-out to Nick. He is the definition of outstanding customer service—friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. He took the time to answer questions, make recommendations, and made sure I left with exactly what I was looking for. It's rare to find someone who is that passionate about taking care of customers.
In a world of big-box stores, IB Liquor reminds you why supporting local businesses matters. Great selection, fair prices, exceptional service, and people who truly appreciate your business. They've earned a customer for life. Highly recommend!”
“I’m in awe of this place!Seriously such a gem.Great items, great prices and I love the family feel to the place.

“Nice little shop in South Park with a good mission and selection. All my purchases were good but the star were the little fall flavored treat balls (visited early November). They were so delicious and will definitely be on my little treat list.”
“Best tasting sushi I have tasted. Got the early lunch, poke bowl, and another bowl of what is a special quality bowl of what is in house, and dressed to perfection, for my wife and I. Place is a store with very small seating in back, where sushi is prepared. Grab your drink in the store area, sit down and order away. Pay at counter in store when you leave. Under 40 bucks! So I do not mind leaving a nice tip. Super nice people. Do chat with them.”

Moved away for a few years and was disappointed to hear that Pancho Villa market had shut down but thanks to AI i was informed the mini tortilla factory still lives on with a healthier version now.”
“Amazing food. First off sandwiches I eat every bite leaving no crumbs. When I got braces I switched to the soups and a mildy toasted roll and my stomach didnt suffer at all. I am really going to miss this place being on my route for work. Rome is so kind she puts all the love in their food.”

“Small, but functional selection of comestibles, leaning towards Mexican or basic Cowboy cuisine. Lots of unique snack options, sweet and savory.
Sandwiches are delicious, but ordering kiosk is difficult to get right. Ask questions if you are a novice. The tortas are awesome! Looking forward to trying burritos and other items.”
