“The non-vegetarian dishes were incredibly tasty, full of rich flavors and perfectly cooked. The goat biryani was a standout — the meat was extremely tender, fresh, and packed with authentic spices. Every bite melted in the mouth. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious non-veg food!
Also you can get fresh raw meat and chicken directly from form they get.”
“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 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.”
“Small store but great prices, I came for Piloncillo and walked around the whole store multiple times before I realized it was up front. Looks like they also had a nice deli section!”

“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!!”
“I’ve been to quite a few meat stores in the area, but this one truly stands out — especially for their baby goat (kid) meat. It’s incredibly fresh, tender, and cleaned to perfection. Easily the best quality I’ve come across. Highly recommend!”
“They have a great assortment and variety of all the things you need. I highly recommend it. Everyone who works there treats you with great respect and if you have any questions they will gladly help you to know what you need.”
“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.”

“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!”
“They don't have any dock for unloading. Small place entrance is through cars parking lot.
Unload quickly and change lumper. Employees are nice and cooperative. They will unload in front of the building between parking lot and building don't go around the building. There is one truck parking in front at street.”
“T&V Wholesale is an excellent logistics company. Our restaurant has used their services. Their products are always in great condition. Best quality for the Wholesale price. Highly recommended to any restaurant owners and managers for fresh meat and veggies products. ???”
“Incredible flavors and perfectly grilled kabobs! The meat is juicy and tender, and the rice and sauces are on point. Great service and a cozy spot to enjoy authentic Middle Eastern cuisine.”

“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.”
“You have to go to buy some snacks here, 1.99 for a bag of chips and less than 1.99 for a popsicle. Alright service, good price for regular things, they never restock. I live near and it's perfect.”
