“This is one of my go-to grocery stores since it is on the way home. The store itself is big and organized. My only recommendation is to double-check the dates on items prior to purchasing. I always do and found one that expired in January, and we're almost in April.
Cashiers are always nice here and helpful.”
“Friendly service. Great selection. Good prices. This is the blueprint for other markets to follow. Every item they stock has a purpose, and I can tell they do their best to stock what people actually want.”
“This is the place to come for Middle Eastern goods. The selection is wonderful, the date and olive varieties are excellent, and they have so much! Take your time, poke around, it’s fantastic!
Enjoy!”
“I’m not the type of person to sit down and write reviews—but this place deserves every single minute of my time so I can truly express how I feel about it.
There are stores you shop at… and then there are places that feel like home. This family-owned grocery store is something truly special.
From the moment you walk in, you’re not treated like a customer—you’re treated like family. Mo, the owner, has created something rare. The way he cares about people, remembers faces, and makes everyone feel welcome is something you just don’t see anymore. And his two kids? Just like their father—kind, genuine, and always ready to help with a smile.
Let’s talk about prices—because honestly, they’re unbeatable. Every single item is priced better than what you’ll find at other stores. Period. You walk out feeling like you got more than your money’s worth every time.
The store itself is spotless, organized, and always stocked with the latest trending items. They somehow manage to have everything you didn’t even know you needed. And if there’s ever something you can’t find, just ask. Mo or his kids will go out of their way to make sure you get it.
This isn’t just a grocery store—it’s a community, a family, and a place that genuinely cares. Support businesses like this. They deserve it.
I don’t expect anyone to just take my word for it—go see it for yourself.”
“Went here looking for garlic but was surprised to see the vast selection of vegetables. This store has so much culture and friendly workers. I let with some meat from the butchers as well as some Mexican treats.
Thank you for wonderful service and environment. Prices imo were faire.”
“Very organized and clean market. I came in for an ingredient I am not familiar with and the woman at the cashier knew exactly what I was looking for and showed me my options. This will definitely be my go-to shop for Indian/Figian grocery. Great location with pretty easy parking as there are a few parking lots around the corner”
“The Mission District is a must-visit for anyone looking to immerse themselves in authentic Latin culture and cuisine. Walking through the streets, you’re surrounded by vibrant murals, lively energy, and an endless lineup of Latin food spots that feel truly authentic.
One standout stop is Casa Guadalupe Supermarket—a treasure trove of Latin flavors, from fresh ingredients to specialty snacks and baked goods. Every corner of the Mission District feels full of life and community pride, and sampling the food here is like taking a bite out of local culture itself!”
“It’s a neighborhood all in one spot and they know almost every one who comes in . Whatever you need they probably got it . There pizza is good and there sandwich’s are crazy good . Great place”
“Great store! They have such a huge selection of produce and grocery at very reasonable prices. Love their new meat and cheese selection...staff is super friendly and helfpul...coming back here for sure!”
“Grill City: Delicious authentic Filipino food: pork sinigang, golden pompano and lots of rice. One feels like on vacation in the Philippines surrounded with a lot of all happy smiling Filipino. Service is great. Very clean place. All made from fresh food unlike the crappy processed food from the American food chains in this area and on top of that even cheaper!”
“They have everything here, a butcher at the meat section, stocked shelves and very nice vegetables. Prices are a little high but they offer senior discounts to 55+ so make sure you ask for it before you pay.”
“Buddies market is very convenient, Paul the owner has to pass the connivence fee onto his customers just to stay in business considering he is right next door to the Canyon Market just to stay competitive, he carries quite a bit and if customer's ask for specific items, Paul will go out of his way to accommodate their requests. He is too small of a store for outside vendors to bother with or requesting an outrageous amount of product per month that he cannot order from the big boys so that leaves him having to do about 90% of item shopping by himself, he's a hard working man who has suffered in the past with an unfortunate attempt on his life that sometimes he doesn't smile, he's a good man who loves his family and his customer base, I've worked for him going on 5 years now and have earned his trust and respect, I work as hard as he does and together we keep the store up and running, he does not own the building therefore the outside look leaves little to desire but the landlord does not take any interest in keeping it from being an eyesore. The stores overhead is unbelievable it's very expensive just to turn the lights on much less open for 11 hours straight, new store hours are Saturday through Thursday 9:00am to 8:00pm and Friday 9:00am to 8:30pm Stop in and say hello to Paul, he would appreciate it if you took the time to say hello.”
“The perfect convenience store for when you're on Oak St towards Octavia to US-101 or I-80 and the Bay Bridge. You can easily stop for the necessities during your commute street parking is easy, and the staff are super friendly. For my commute it's a pint of Haagen-Dazs, a Gatorade and a bag of Kettle brand chips for the days when there is traffic.. Let's just say I eat a lot of ice cream. What's your favorite snack during a long commute?”
“Love this store. Staff is friendly & always helpful. I walk 3 blocks out of my way to go here to pick up incidentals and….. oh. That’s right. The best mezcal selection for a small store. Love them”
“Friendly family owned market and the best option in the neighborhood. Great sandwiches and lots of alternative healthier options for snacks. The produce is always top notch and worth that extra bodega price tag to support this family business and neighborhood gem.”
“A wonderful neighborhood market. Their meat and fish selection is excellent and fresh, as is the veggie and fruit section. They also have an excellent cheese area. The deli is also terrific.”
“Breakfast sandwich was DELICIOUS. This pregnant lady highly recommends this place for a quick breakfast/lunch stop! The guys working there were very sweet and caring! Felt like family and it was my first time there! I wish I had a picture of my sandwich but I gobbled it up so quick”
“This is an EXCELLENT grocery store! They have SO much great produce, and much of it is organic. Their cheese selection is impressive, they have a lot of gourmet items and I think they have the entire line of grains from Bob's Red Mill. Good wine/beer selection, big parking lot and everyone who works there is so nice. And their prices are extremely affordable!! It's also very clean and well organized. I don't eat meat but I did notice a very large butcher section too. Don't give your money to Whole Foods/Amazon! Shop local at this great neighborhood market.”
“Great market, very competitive pricing and selections especially on the sweet potato f and ginger! They pretty much giving you a wholesale price it's quite fascinating”
“I'm a 80's baby, this grocery store has always been in the neighborhood. So much history at this store, some good, some bad. The store remodeling is way better than it was before, more brighter, open space and if they started cooking food they probably get more customers. They have fresh produce, fruits vegetables All your grocery needs. I don't know the owners but I did meet the cashier and he was super polite.. Check out the local shop..”
“Lucky usually has everything I need. The produce is better than Safeway. They don't carry Miyoko's butter or some other vegan brands but they're almost there.”
“I purchased a turkey avocado,bacon sandwich the meat was fresh the bread was awesome. The family that runs this mini store and sandwiches is very friendly and I recommend you stop by for your enjoyment.???”
“I try to come here for vegetables. It’s fresh and great prices but you have to buy in larger quantities so be ready to feast. I also like their fresh rice fun.”
“With the number of grocery shopping options on Stockton Street, it's easy to overlook this 3-in-1market. Given the store size, you won't find a comprehensive variety of produce or products. It's a backup shopping spot for me when I'm unable to find vegetables or cooking ingredients either at that SoCal based chain supermarket or other neighboring stores. They have fish tanks in the rear area behind the cashier counter and back right corner while the meat section is along the right wall towards the front as you walk in. In the center area, you'll find open freezer bins with various seafood like abalone, oysters, mussels, scallops, and sea cucumber as well as packed fish balls and other processed seafood products. I've come here a couple times when my normal shopping spot didn't have okra. I come here normally when I can't find okra. I can't vouch for their meats and seafood price and quality wise as I have not bought from those sections. Good backup spot for me.”
“I wanted a simple breakfast back in my hotel room and this place was perfect. They have fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs and oatmeal packets. The couple behind the counter was super helpful!”
“The variety of Chinese products is complete, and the quality and price of fresh fish, meat, and vegetables are quite reasonable (for the Sunset District). However, it is more suitable for middle-aged and older consumers. The younger generation may go back disappointed.”
“I was walking back to my car in Chinatown when i I found this special store. I was tired of eating vacation food and ran to this store to find the most delicious bean salad by epicurean solutions I'm a diehard fan!!!! I'll be visiting the kind gentleman who was working that Labor Day morning and be a regular on the weekends when I'm in the city. I love when I find a good store! It becomes my go to spot”
“The people working here are very sweet. Fair prices and they have a little bit of everything. Couldn't find lemons in Chinatown...no problem, this darling little market has lemons, sparkling water, nuts, cheeses, wine, snacks, veggies, toiletries...all the essentials. Love this little gem and the granny who always gives little crackers to you when you check out.”
“The staff is super friendly! I love supporting local neighborhood spots. I got the passion fruit smoothie - amazing - and the chicken and cheese pastel for $15. I loved both things! Will definitely come back for the $2.00 coffee one day.”
