β€œIt was great. Lots of lots of vendors. Lots of food lenders bought some wonderful kalamata bread and some fresh salmon. They also had another stall with smoked salmon. Everything was excellent. It's very happy. Prices are a little high but I think it's worth it for the quality and the freshness definitely will go back”

β€œWe used this Trader Joe’s to pickup flowers for our wedding! Go ahead of time (a few weeks prior) and show photos of your wedding colors. We worked with an amazing associate named Alex who helped order and set aside a full cart of perfect flowers to be picked up the day before our wedding. They even let us take the buckets for transport (about 8 total!)
Both the blooms and the greenery were beautiful. Assembling the bouquets with my bridesmaids was so much fun, and one of my favorite memories of the weekend. It smelled like heaven. We also saved so much money doing it this way!
Thank you Hillsdale Trader Joe’s!”

β€œThis place is awesome! So many things that you can’t find at most grocery stores, and the fresh food is great. I really liked the loco moco with mochiko chicken - the chicken was flavorful and the serving size was big. The poke was also solid, and the mac salad is a crowd favorite. Very kind service too, and there’s outdoor seating if you can’t wait to go home to eat your haul.”

β€œI love love love this produce shop. Everything is so fresh, with fantastic quality and lots of variety despite being a small store. The shop offers a little bit of everything, fruits, vegetables, dairy items, cold cuts, canned foods, fresh bread, coffee, tea, jams, all sorts of flours, pretty much any kitchen staple one could need, and the owners take extra care in their selection. I have never once bought anything from them that didn't taste great or got spoiled quickly. Everything is always at the peak of freshness in this store, and the prices are always fair. I have stopped buying fresh produce and fruits from anywhere else and exclusively shop here.
Highly recommend this shop.”

β€œThe picked foods in the jars and the produce is fantastic and reasonably priced. The dried fruits and nuts section is fantastic and very competitively priced. Pretty much everything else is overpriced in my opinion. If you go in and shop smart, this place is fantastic.”

β€œI much rather support a local business rather than a corporate chain. So I have started coming regularly making my purchases of vegetables. The prices are on par to the Safeway on El Camino and they are never busy when I drop by. I've bought my cheeses, 2 types, and beef liver and also chorizo from the meat section and was very pleased with the quality.The taqueria has pleased me three times now. The quesabirrias were very AFFORDABLE and the cook was very generous with both the amount of cheese and meat served; the quesadilla was extremely cheesy; the pupusas queso con frijol were extremely yummy with the sauce and pickled cabbage.”

β€œI always have such a wonderful experience thanks to Gino. He is incredibly attentive, polite, and professional throughout our interactions. It’s rare to find someone who truly cares about their customers the way Gino does. He goes above and beyond to make sure I have everything I need and makes the shopping experience smooth.

Smart & Final is lucky to have such a dedicated and kind employee, definitely one of the best!”

β€œCame in for simple Garam Masala, but got so much more. The service was top notch - I was greeted and helped through something so simple as just picking up spices and to find out theres a whole world of meats in the back - chefs kiss* Needless to say I'll be back in the future”

β€œLooks nice! The owner offered help when I need, but there was a lot of food I'd never seen, so I thought I need to more learn those for my next visit.Some reviewers here said that they didn't show a food price, but I can now find the cost with food.”

β€œWe each got a taco platter, so two tacos each--2 chicken, 1 lengua, and 1 al pastor... Tacos were more than decent--they exceeded my expectations. You see, I was led to believe we walked in to El Palenque, so I was excited until I discovered that we were actually somewhere that had only TWO stars, so I was a little nervous... Turns out the lengua was tender and flavorful, and the al pastor was very tasty! Fresh tomatillo salsa was VERY fresh, and the chips were also fresh and very tasty...rice was fluffy, and the beans were rich and well-seasoned...was a relief to see that it was actually pretty good!”

β€œWhen there's no nighttime public restrooms available in a five mile radius thanks to the destructive nature related to the homeless crisis, Safeway fights back and keeps the restrooms open and clean. I am proud to support this Safeway with my business! We can't let evil win. We must set the example, as this Safeway does, of taking back our cities from those that would destroy them.Thank you so much!”

β€œPupusas! Cheese, cheese and pork, cheese/pork/beans, chicken and cheese! Choose them all! So delicious! Casual, cafe-style location. Many tables or take to go! Fast service but we ordered online and picked up. Ample parking but don't forget to pay the meter!”

β€œThis place is a nice little shop on the street corner and it has a lot of nice imports from Hispanic countries. It's right next to San Mateo High School so it's good as an after school spot to pick up a snack or a place to get an energy drink or snack before school.”

β€œSelf-checkout line looked long, but a staff member was directing people and opened a new register right when I got there. She even helped bag some of the loose produce”

β€œGot a chance to checkout the sandwich shop while I was in the area. It is a delightful sandwich stop conveniently located within the grocery store. If you are in a rush this shop has a wide range of options, and it's a go-to for a quick and tasty sandwich. Fresh ingredients and flavorful combinations make their sandwiches a solid choice. The service is quick and the people there are extremely nice. If sandwiches don't appeal to you they have plenty of other options that look delicious. The sandwich itself isn't out of this world but gets the job done. It is extremely filling and quite nice. They also toast the sandwich if you would like. Overall I would recommend this place if you are in the area.”

β€œThe supermarket is clean and well organized. The coffee station is located in the front of the store. It is so convenient to grab, pay, and go. The pastries are also located near the front registers. Coffee and the walnut pound cake was perfect. Very fresh produces and meats. Friendly and helpful staff. They have a private parking lot and street parking.”
