“Good mercado with ample selection of fruits and vegetables. The standout is the butcher which has various cuts of meat that you can't find at Safeway, like diezmillo and arrachera”
“Decided to give this place a try since we were having a family dinner. Called in my order and picked up half an hour later. I didn’t realize the hummus and baba ghanoush were canned so I skipped those. My order was ready when I arrived.
meat was undercooked in the middle and had strong lamb flavor.
Chicken skewers: 5/5 well cooked, flavorful. Not dry.
good!
Rice: generous portions.
They have lots of lavash with the meat.
$62 for 5 koobideh, 2 chicken, 2 rice.”
“I went to Whole Foods to get bone in prime rib and the guy at the butcher counter laughed and said “we don’t carry that here.” So I came to Saratoga Meats thinking I would have to special order, but they had it right there and carved a great set for me. As others have noted, not cheap, but I was very pleased with the quality.”
“Upscale grocery store, with hot take out from the deli, and full meals to take out, mains and sides separate, all kinds of nice things, it's a good looking store, a little crowded for maneuvering but I really like shopping there.”
“I always purchased from Genes Mkt. One day I asked the butcher where they got them from...the rest is history. When you see and enter the shop it's like out of a scene from The Soprano's. They have the glass cases, the refrigerator storeroom in the back, and the processing area to the left. Very minimal, old school. The best. I always place my order ahead of time and they have it ready. Hot or mild, in the casing or bulk. Family run and owned. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You will be kicking yourself in the butt for not knowing about them sooner. Oh, by the way, the sausages are delicious !!”
“Always have great finds for all your Latin American products. Love grabbing all my favorite sweets and the Butcher is clean and has great meat selection! Never had a bad experience”
“I’ve been to other ranch markets and this one tops it out of all the ones I’ve been to. Clean, organized, well stocked and great selection for Asian food products.”

“Great supermarket with everything I need! The store is clean, well-organized, and the shelves are always fully stocked. I love how fresh the produce is, and the prices are really reasonable too. The staff are friendly and quick to help whenever I can’t find something. Overall, a super convenient place to shop—definitely my go-to supermarket now.”

“This is the best desi grocery store in the area, offering a great variety of products at very reasonable prices compared to others.
I especially appreciate that the fish and meat are always fresh, and they’ll even cut them for you at no extra charge. Hasan is incredibly friendly and helpful, which makes the shopping experience even better.
I usually prefer visiting on weekdays since it’s less crowded.”
“Good selection of times, great pricing. A bit cramped, but I'm not complaining with the vast variety of items they have. Friendly staff too, can highly recommend!!”
“One place for everything you need!
From halal meat to halal marshmallows.
Honestly, the meat is very clean and fresh.
I highly recommend this store to all the zabiha halal eaters.”
“This is my Friday goat biryani place to go to. Great people with great service. I wish they make the lamb chops again. Last time I came the guy told me they don't make it anymore”

“I have never been in a grocery store so clean and friendly. Produce is so decorative, the organization and displays are amazing. Mostly bi-lingual but no discrimination. Everyone is treated with love and respect. Offered help multiple times while walking in the store. Meats and fish are super fresh. Well displayed and pricing is very good. I took home shrimp and salsa. Everything is fresh and I was seriously impressed. Staff were amazing Will continue to being a patron based on this. Make sure to lock-up the car though due to people cutting thru the parking lot. I go there for the best fried pigskins around.”
“They opened again after a year of hiatus. Convenient place to get fresh and high quality chicken/duck in bay area. The staff was super friendly and willing to get me small stuff (onion/lemon) that is not for sale there. Highly recommend!”
“The tamales are fresh and excellent, so some fresh school and pico de gallo and guacamole and plenty of fresh corn chips available. Of course lots of fresh homemade tortillas.”
“The goat biryani is excellent. I drive all the way from Los Altos to pick it up. Have earned lots of brownie points for giving it to friends who don't want to drive 50 miles round-trip to pick it up.”

“The ambiance is simple. The food is great and there is a variety of selection of meats. Also, friendly & simple service. Food was good, although i didn't get too eat inside because i was waiting, the food was still good. Will be going back soon & if i have further notes i shall add onto this. Good too know there is a shop like this near the area i am at.”
“Family owned business. Pricey but what isnt now in days. Carnitas on a Saturday morning are the best. Dried beef jerky, also thr best. Get it by the pound. Produce is OK.”
“I went in for some tamales and rice/beans. The lady at the counter was very helpful and polite. Chicken tamale was ok, more masa then chicken (for me that's fine) Rice/beans was good.”
“I came here solely for the taco nadas and left with pizza nadas as well. They are $2 each. These savory pastries bring back so many memories from high school. My friends and I have been eager to have a taco nada again and I was happy to have found this place! The lady who was working was very welcoming and nice. They do have a few other snacks whcih I'll come back another time to try.”
“This place is not as bad as other "Yelpers" are making it to be, however this place can use a slight face-lift. It's not necessarily a place to do your full blown shopping. Items that are "popular" to the so called American customers and not so much to the Brown Indigenous (Native American/Mexican,etc) yes those items will obviously be outdated. I mainly go there for the queso fresco Mexicano and purple corn tortilla and at times I get other items that are likely to be in high demand GET IT. For example I won't go to an "Asian" market to look for tortilla or Tapatio hot sauce WHY because I know at that particular store it's not in HIGH DEMAND!!!!”
“I don't know what these negative reviews are talking about. The service was great, and most importantly, the have the best cuts of meat for galbi tang and galbi chim. Super friendly, would go back!”

“This store is a great place with a wide variety of products, but my favorite thing there is the homemade jerky. It is always fresh, flavorful, and very delicious. The store is clean, well-organized, and everything is beautifully arranged, which makes shopping there even more enjoyable. Overall, it is a wonderful shop with a nice atmosphere and really tasty jerky.”
“I didn't find what I was looking for but I went to another store...but the store is good, only the parking lot is very full because of the other businesses...”
“The place is very good, cheap, clean and fresh products but for you to get meat sometimes it takes a while. It would be nice if they put a waiting room or something like that.”
“A place where you can find everything, both for the home and for lovers of cooking, as well as for those who want ready-made food. In that place, they offer you ready-made food dishes. You will also find jewelry, a place where you can find everything. what are you looking for...
A very good place to find a little bit of everything, both for those who like to cook and for those who don't, because they also offer ready-made food and there are also places where you can find bakery jewelry and many fresh products .”
“I have placed several orders from here and really appreciate how fast the delivery is. The only issue I have had is that no one ever responds to messages left via email or voicemail. I’ve been trying to find out whether the marinated chicken is hand-slaughtered or machine-slaughtered. Could someone please confirm this?”
