They make an awesome variety of salsas as well and the Ceviche? AMAZING. Have to try! We love to get the Fajita de Pollo meat, Carne Asada, and Pollo Asado and all of them are top notch. Check it out!”

“This Aldi is clean and had a lot of options. I've become a newbie to Aldi but appreciate their prices and quality of items. They have decent prices for fruits and meat. They sell some of the stuff you'd also see in a Walmart or Target (snacks and drinks) but also have their own items you can only find here. Their quarter system to use their carts (guessing to prevent theft) and their option to use your own bags here add to their Earth friendly atmosphere. I can see myself shopping here more often. The bottom line is they do sell quality food items here.”

“Stopped in today to just grab some ice and Discovered an authentic Carniceria inside this Mom and Pop neighborhood shop. I also was pleasantly surprised by some good old-fashioned customer service! This husband and wife team offered service with a smile as well as "anticipating need," one of the cornerstones of customer service. If ever in the neighborhood stop by and see for yourself.

“This is a great small business market. Great prices on produce, which can range from super fresh to past prime. Their herbs are fresh and fragrant and a great deal compared to the little plastic containers of herbs from grocery stores. They have a great selection of Arabic or middle eastern prepared foods that rival local restaurants- including family meals for five with rice salad and kebabs, they have a bakery that turns out amazing traditional bread, and a deli bar with a great selection of hummus salads and olives.”
