“Great little spot perfect for whatever we need and tasty enchiladas, none the less. Pricing isn't great on beer/wine, but it's a small business and we never mind. Decent prices on liquor and nice people.”

“They've always treated me nicely here compared to Seafood City. Being raised in the U.S. doesn't make any less than natives. I love to support small businesses so I go here for any Filipino necessities. Small store but they do bring in food from different places which I appreciate so I do t have to drive far.”

“It's a great small market. It is a Mexican store that has a lot of Hispanic products. They have their own butcher counter which is great. I bought some meat there to make a stew and it came out good. They don't have the lowest prices but it's close by. I do like the butcher counter and the staff is very nice.”

“You want the good old time market. Go to Stater brothers. At the store I frequent the address you by name. The butchers (yes they have real butchers not meat stockers) remember my favorite cuts of meat. The guy in produce will talk your head off about the best way to prepare "His" fruits and vegetables. What can you say about the bakery and Deli except "YUMM"”

“I didn't start shopping here until all the inflation hit us, and it has been a miracle place for me. I wish I had shopped here before then. Prices are good and their bulk section is awesome. Hopefully some day they'll get curbside pickup”

“Love, love, love this store! I've shopped at different Sprouts forever and this location has to be my favorite. The entire staff is so friendly, the store is always well stocked, clean and organized. Cece makes the experience here a 10/10. She makes our day everytime we're in the store. She's so warm, helpful and amazing with my kids whenever we're in the store. I live between the Bressi location and the San Marcos location and come here because this store is the best!”

“The bad review from Ivan is not true. Tom is the best and the rest of the staff is great. My only complaint is your pricing. I buy American Spirit.. At he 76 station they are $19.00 for two packs. Your price is $26.00 for two.”

“I just went in here today randomly to buy candy for my daughter & husband, the man working at the front was so kind & doesn't know how much his kindness meant.. It's been a bad two weeks & lots of negative mean people lately hasn't helped but he just proved today how there is still good people in the world... He was so kind to my daughter it was just reassuring that there are still nice people in the world. If your reading this thank you very much & god bless you. It was nice seeing another human being smile & have joy in this world right now. Your a very amazing human & I hope nothing but wonderful things happen for you & your family. Thank you for showing some light in dark times again. Great customer service.”

“Always fun to find great deals. A store somewhere between Costco and grocery store. Like the attention to careful pricing to attract the Costco AND neighborhood grocery shoppers. Shelving, stocking needs lots of attention; gives claustrophobic feel but "deals" remain even if have to wade through boxes, etc. Bottom line:. Will go more often and hope problem areas addressed and corrected. ?”

“Nice small grocery store. Always find a decent selection of items here.HOWEVER, I once had an issue with the self-checkout and the cashier accused me of stealing (funny because I had just lectured my kids on stealing). Same cashier once accused another couple, with a small baby, of stealing. Don't think he works there anymore.Other than that, it has been great!”

“Accessibility: accessible/handicap parking spots across from the front entrance, one or two motorized shopping carts plus regular shopping carts and baskets available. Doors to enter the building are motion-activated and it is air conditioned inside the store. Restrooms inside have a larger, accessible stall. Experience: normally Albertson's is a little pricey so I don't shop here but lately they have had great deals! I got buy one get one free eggs (carton of 12 each), and they had other frozen foods for as low as 1 dollar! Love that. I'll definitely come back with those kinds of deals. The employees are nice here too.”

“This is my go to spot since our Esconddio location closed. I did notice the aisles are a lot tighter and a little harder to get through if the store is packed. Other than that I found that this store is super clean (bathrooms included) the few times i've visted there is always several cashiers available making it quick for you to make your purchase and be out in less than 10 minutes. Produce is always being restocked and fresh too! Everything was well organized and easy to find.”

“The employees are really nice and helpful. The store is clean and well organized, I found everything I needed and more. I haven't been to Walmart in a decade, but it was the only place carrying what I needed, other than Amazon, and I ended up buying a couple of other inexpensive things that are a bit more money than other stores. Nice!”

“Dan is absolutely wonderful. I love this store because it's easy and close to home. Today a man in the store gave me a bad vibe. There was just something that felt off. Maybe nothing but felt off. So checking out I asked Dan to walk me to my car. Absolute gentleman. Thank you Dan for helping me feel safe”

“Love this Ralph's! I needed to get to a Ralph's after dark with my kids and didn't want to go to the Escondido one since that parking lot is sketchy at night. This parking lot is a lot more spacious and well-lit and has a pedestrian walkway which already makes it better and more family-friendly in my book, and to top it off didn't have anyone loitering in the parking lot with questionable intentions. When I walked into the store, I was impressed by how big it was compared to the other Ralph's, and clean! Definitely felt more comfortable there and like I could walk around without crashing into anyone. I found all the items I was looking for including one item that I'd been looking at other stores for for weeks. Self-checkout was a breeze and I was in and out super quick. I didn't interact with any of the employees so can't really speak to the service but all in all I would definitely come back here just from a safety standpoint alone.”

“I frequent Ralphs in San Marcos, and it never disappoints. The store is clean and well-stocked, making my grocery shopping hassle-free. The staff is friendly and helpful, and I appreciate their commitment to maintaining a safe and clean shopping environment. The variety of products is impressive, and I always find fresh produce and quality goods. It's my go-to place for groceries, and I highly recommend it.”
