“I am 55yrs old…I have been visiting this Swans store since I was 4yrs old or less with my Mother. Waaay before they refurbished the buildings. However, Taylor’s Market has always been a plus for our family meats and so was the fish market that has now been depleted. Taylor’s owner is the funniest, with his jokes and he hires the less fortunate to help him and they are all long time troopers with him. I love their relationships and dedication to making all customers feel welcome. I Love this place!!! Breakfast sausage is off the hook! I love them, as well as the Boudin sausages and all the fresh meats they have!!! Please visit Taylor’s Market, you WILL come back??? You will NEVER be disappointed! Come on down and try them out!”
“Incredibly nice people work here - very good prices on necessities like phone chargers, Aloe vera juice, Pretzels… Deli looks impressive, but I’ve never ordered meat from there!”
“Nice shop! Helpful butchers! Great stop if you're on foot - parking/driving around this area is straight loco. Be aware that they do actually close at 4pm, not 5pm as listed.”
“I love buying my monthly produce and can never forget your carnitas or ribs. They have exotic fruits that I can't find anywhere else. I've been coming here for years without any problems.”
“everyone was super friendly and had great service the store was clean and organized. Lots of variation to pick from with good prices on most things. Would recommend and would come back”

“Straightforward store front. Excellent customer service, affordable prices. Variety does vary while supplies last but not a problem at all. Good meat standards, posted on their wall. Happy customer!Cash only.”
“The owner's real sweet always greets you when you come in but I'm not going to lie sometimes he'll give you the stank eye,
LOL, ha, ha, ha, ha!
But I guess that's just him as a mature older man . He's just set in his own ways, that's all...
Other than that it's cool small meat market vegetable sometimes other everyday items that you might need in the kitchen to cook.
They have Powerball, Super Lotto, & All kind of scratchers too!
P
retty much everything in that category...”
“This is the only meat shop I would purchase my meats and hotpot essential. it is very small but don't let that fool you, they have all your needs from thinly sliced meat to bulk size. You just let the butcher know what you want. Their vegetables are always green and leafy, it never disappoints. The best thing, many varieties. There may be a language barrier but if they noticed you have been looking at an item for a while, they just hand you the best looking one. This weekend, I 2 packs of beef brisket and the marble on the beef was gorgeous, along with veggies, tofu and fish cakes. Everything was fresh! Let me just say, it was a delicious feast! It is hotpot season, best to come here for all your hotpot needs!”
“Clean and well stocked with the essentials and a few local goodies! Gentleman who runs it is always kind and very friendly! Great for a quick stop for a forgotten item!”

“Yesterday I went to that very nice place around 5 p.m. The employees are very friendly; I interacted with two of them, and they were both very kind. I asked one of them to give me the freshest liver they had, and he did. They do a great job at that butcher shop. I've been going there for years, but lately it's changed, and they seem to care more about their customers' opinions.”
