“Have to use an ATM card to pay! You can get cash back on your ATM card purchase. Cash accepted at the very front of the self-service checkout or at the full service checkouts. To use the self-service checkout you need to have 15 or fewer items. They will not take any credit card.
Attractive store layout well lit wide isles. Friendly helpful staff got quick service on my checkout problems where it rejected 2 ATM cards, but for both of them that was the first use. They have an interesting bread selection from their own bakery, french bread and Italian bread and my favorite sourdough Rosemary bread. Their garlic bread has a butter like spread on it, gave me heartburn. Walmart bakery uses datem as emulsifier (bad for health, I stopped buying it). Winco Produce in nicer condition than Walmart and substantially cheaper especially for oranges. The Cara Cara oranges have reddish flesh and I like them better than the navels in there about a dollar a pound. Love to look through all their hundreds of bulk foods and spices but they're basil is weak. Great selection of 88c per lb oatmeal even the stuff they call Scottish oats is quick cooking oats or 1 minute oats and then they're quick oats is a 5-minute oat and then the old fashioned is a 10 minute and then the course oats are 45 minutes oats. They have red lentils in their wonderful they don't cause any gas and you can make them into a puree in the blender especially if you cook them in the instapot and let them sit for an hour after they're done under pressure. My dog's favorite pedigree small dog chicken dog food is very cheap here also.”
“Complete shout out to the bakery department!!! They did an amazing job on the cake I ordered for a combined birthday party. Every detailed was spot on. I would definitely order from them again!!!”
“Not sure if this is the same thing but the night market is amazing! I’ve never seen the variety of food that was offered here anywhere else. They had Brazil food to sea urchin, Jamaican food, I had this “tea ice cream that was amazing never would’ve guessed it would be so tasty. If I’m back in Oceanside I’d definitely plan it around being here for the night market! Starts at 5pm I believe every Thursday night weather permitting.”
“Love this place, they always have good selection of Ukrainian and Eastern European Food. Also they have interesting point programs- I get caviar
from it frequently ?”
“This location is awesome! I got $298 worth of groceries for $151.71. They have all the same brands as the other stores and lots of fresh produce and herbs. My cashier, Michelle, was so helpful and kind. She helped me save even more by showing me how to use the app. I’m so glad I found this place!!”

“The best carneceria near base!
Amazing prices with quality meats. Super helpful staff that excel in communication and planning.
Military friendly shop that supports the community. 10/10 recommend for any catering event. Mike is the man to talk to. He will do you right!!”
“I love coming here for the sandwiches. ? They offer gluten free bread. You can make it a meal with chips and a bottle of water. My favorites are the turkey or chicken salad sandwiches. Before I leave, I like to stop by the bulk bins and get a little chocolate for dessert.”
“I love this store! I like the layout and the variety. Ever since they had their remodel I’ve loved coming here. I like that they always has new items and the ready section is fresh and yummy.”
“Pappy’s is the go-to neighborhood spot for everything from late-night eggs to a last-minute bottle of rosé at 11 PM. It’s the kind of place where you’ll walk in for one thing and walk out with an unexpected pair of sunglasses—all served up with a friendly smile.”
“The parking lot is pretty tight. The store is different from the other locations I'm used to, it feels like the layout is reversed and goes right to left instead of left to right.
It is generally well organized and clean, you can tell it's up kept or just has less traffic. The staff are friendly, I got rung up by a nice guy named Nicholas. They seem quick to open another line.
The important part: the Aisle of Shame is easy to browse and get through without being trashed. They must have someone going through often to fix it.”
“I go here 3/4 times a week with being open 24 hours that helps my crazy schedule and its employee owned I love here early am 4-6 or after 8. They may not offer all my favorite foods but one can’t beat the prices or the hours. You are remiss if don’t try and compare to wherever u choose to shop.”
“Something about this grocery outlet, they do it right well stocked with things I need friendly staff clean store and spacious. Of all the grocery outlets in San Diego county I'd rate this one the best.”
“Really like this store overall — it has a great neighborhood grocery feel, the produce is consistently fresh, and the bakery does custom cakes which is a nice touch. The deli and bakery selections are on the smaller side, but what they carry is good quality. Clean store, friendly atmosphere.
One issue keeping this at 4 stars: the sale signs posted throughout the store don't always reflect what you're actually charged at checkout. Today I bought 4 twelve-packs of soda based on a Buy 2 Get 2 Free sign — my membership was accepted at checkout, but the discount didn't show up on my receipt. Still waiting on a resolution.
It's worth double-checking your receipt before you leave, especially on sale items. I'd bump this to 5 stars once the pricing consistency gets sorted out — the store itself genuinely deserves it.”
“Not the worst meat market I've been too for sure. They had the meats, beer, and typical groceries that you'd expect to find in a place like this. The prices are about right in line with the like shops in the area. Pretty good meat though. Not too upset with this place.”
“One of very good Asian market I love going to. They have hot food, great seating and awesome people. Grab a snack I like the shrimp chips and Asian can fruits.”

“Excellent customer service & very friendly staff. We tend to shop here nearly monthly, for over a year now. We’ve never had a bad experience. Always happy we came back! They offer substitutes if something we ordered isn’t available. Occasionally they’ll throw in a free gift with purchase too. We love a business that gets to know you & remembers you too. Thank you!”

“This is the Vons where we go to the most. It has a pharmacy with very accommodative pharmacists. The store is close to the highway and major roads. I like the atmosphere and large aisles. It is very quiet inside which makes it easy to shop and find what you need. They also have a Starbucks inside as well for those coffee goers. The produce section is very large and nice. The parking lot is standard and easy to find good parking. This is a good bond grocery store.”
“Best Market all your beach vibes and necessities in one shot love this spot and can we appreciate the lovely selection of different succulents colors available they are so unique love love love.”
“Nice change of name and layout happened after I visited last year. Good selection of liquor and beer and food. I stocked up for a few days while in town. I hear the deli has good sandwiches but I didn't try this time. Great staff and look forward to coming back again.”
“The Store is Clean and has a good deli and a Bakery. I would like to compliment Jason (at the self check-out) for providing Excellent service each time. He is very Courteous and Efficient. He has outstanding Customer Service skills and is pleasant and helpful to everyone. I highly recommend this Store.”
“I like Smart& final. Surprisingly good selection of things. Good prices. Nice store. Nice people barking's even good. I'm going to keep going there”
“The guys there so friendly & helpful every single time I go ! I actually have 4 other liquor stores closer to me and drive out further just because of how nice they are !! They’ve even ordered additional stuff for me that they didn’t typically have, I appreciate them so much !”
“I've been going 5 star market since a kid and nothing but helpful and friendly workers. Rod is an great owner will go above and beyond to help with what needs and wants people have”
“This is my go-to place for grocery shopping. They've always had what I need at a great price. A few considerations I have is that it's primarily a self-checkout location and parking can be a little difficult due to how tight the lot is. There's homeless generally hanging out near the entrance and at times Ive seen them using drugs. It wouldn't hurt to exercise some caution when they're in the area.”
“Clean and well organized Walmart. Didn’t really need help looking for the sunscreen section and I did notice that this Walmart did not have any cashiers open just the self checkouts. Quick and easy transaction, no issues whatsoever. Convenient store to grab everyday needs, especially when you’re on vacation.”
“Great selection of fish and Filipino and Asian staples. I mainly go here for the fish, but I've visited to buy some lumpia and sauces as well.The way the fish counter works is you pick your fish and hand it to the fish cleaner behind the counter in the back. He hands you a ticket and you go to the front to pay. Return back with the receipt and collect your cleaned fish! You also have the option of them frying your fish for a fee - which really hits the spot on those warmer days.Highly recommend it here.”
“Can you say everything under one roof? That's what this MCX has and in such a huge place, you should find something for everyone. As a Navy vet from LA, why drive all the way down to 32nd St NEX in SD when you can just visit MCB Camp Pendleton? I sure did and am happy to do so.”
“If you’re looking for El Nopalito salsa, this is the wrong location—it’s another place with the same name. However, they do sell the El Nopalito chips at a better price than the other one! Very helpful service.”
“This is a great spot for craft beers yeah they have other items but if you're looking for craft beers this is a great spot. What I really like is that they have a good selection of single cans of craft beers for a reasonable price. This store is jammed packed with stuff so be careful walking around.”
“This store has a huge variety of food products that are hard to find in other markets. There are a number of ready to heat and eat products that would be great for singles. You can always purchase plants like orchids there.”
